AERIAL ARMS CUT
HELD MOST VITAL
Parley on Subject Should Go
Into Commercial Side,
Briton Says.
By the Associated Tress.
NEW YORK, January 3.—Commer
cial air development is so closely re
lated to military aviation that any in
ternational conference on aerial dis
armament will have to deal with a
country's commercial air needs. Brig.
Gen. Lord Thomson, former British
minister for air, said in an address
before the Foreign Policy Association
today.
The acid test of a nation’s sincerity
toward a permanent world peace is
aerial disarmament, he said, adding
that military aviation moves forward
step by step with commercial avia
tion.
The next war was pictured by the
speaker not as a war between pro
fessional soldiers, but a conflict be
tween peoples, in which huge cruis
ing airships and planes will use
chemicals and exposives for the ex
termination of cities and non-com
batant populations. This war would
not be settled by a great aerial bat
tle, he said, but by a general destruc
tion of the behind-the-lines territory
‘‘The best air defense is to go at
once to the enemy’s larger cities and
munitions plants and destroy them,”
Mr. Thomson said.
Will Irwin, author, lecturer and for
mer war correspondent, outlined
some of the developments of the
chemical warfare service, which, he
said, have been so closely guarded
that little is known publicly concern- ;
ing new discoveries, although it is
said that a "looney” gas and a
"laughing'' gas have been devel
oped recently.
POLICEMAN IS CLEARED.
Judge Holds Evidence Against Mid-1
dleton Insufficient.
Elmer C. Middleton, policeman, sta
tioned at the Eighth precinct, charged i
with driving while intoxicated, was t
found not guilty by Judge Gus A.
Schuldt in Police Court Friday. The ;
court dismissed the case, ruling that i
there was insufficient evidence pre- :
sented to show that Middleton was <
the driver of the automobile at the i
time arrested. ,
Middleton was arrested December
13 on North Capitol street near E
when his machine collided with the
curbstone. i

Dinosaur Traced
In Rockies After
10,000,000 Years
Ten million years ago a dinosaur
wandered along the edge of a
swamp in the locality where the _
rugged Rockies no w rear their
snow-capped summits This oc
curred during the Trlassic age.
Some time later along came an
upheaval of the territory, and the
tracks of the dinosaur, lifted on
the upper strata of rock and sand,
became revealed like a message
from the past a few days ago, the
Interior Department announced
last night. The tracks 'of the
dinosaur are the first seen in the
Rocky Mountain area. They were
found on the Navajo Indian res
ervation near the Grand Canyon
National Park.
The footprints measure 16
inches in length, with a spread
of 13 Inches. The step or stride
is shown to be 53 inches, while
the toes, as shown by the tracks,
were terminated by sharp claws,
Indicating that the animal that
made them belonged to the bi
pedal carnivorous dinosauras. Iden
tification and measurements were
made by Dr. C. W. Gilmore of the
Smithsonian Institution, who re
cently visited the Grand Canyon
Park.
RIOTING IN FRENCH CITY.
—— (
Commander of Troops Dragged
Through Streets, Several Wounded
DOT’ARNENEZ, France, January 3.
—Rioting again broke out last night,
when a crowd stoned the hotel here
in which the alleged assailants of

After the arrests the crowd attacked
♦he commander of the gendarmerie,
and dragged him through the street.
A lieutenant, several non-commis

gendarmerie were wounded in the
fighting.
FUND BILL REPORTED.
$763,309,000 Treasury-Post Office
Measure Given Senate.
The Treasury-Post Office appropria
tion bill was reported by the Senate
appropriations committee Friday, car
rying a total of $763,309,000, or
$128,036,000 more than was provided
as it passed the House. Increases or
dered by the Senate committee were
scattered throughout the field services
of both departments, there being no
outstanding item in the entire list of
changes.

present law by $12,000,000, but still
is $11,826 000 under the budget esti
mates for 1926.

SPANISH CUT DOWN
ARMY IN MOROCCO
Shortening of Line Makes
Possible Repatriation of
Many Soldiers.
By the Associated Frees.
TETUAN, Morocco, Friday, January
2.—With the establishment of a new
line virtually completed, after the
abandonment of approximately 5,000
square kilometers of territory previ
ously occupied, the reduction of the
Spanish force employed in Africa is
proceeding rapidly.
When Lieut. Gen. Miguel Brimo-
Rivera took over command In Novem
ber last the Spanish army in the en
tire Spanish protectorate numbered,
in round figures, 146,000 men of all
arms. The retirement from the holy
city of Xauen and many small Inter
vening posts to Tetuan made unneces
sary the use of such a large army.
Consequently the commander-ln-chief
decided to release soldiers who had
completed their three years’ service.
These men have now gone home
Casualties suffered during fighting
accounted for several thousand
troops, while many others have been
repatriated in consequence of sick
ness. Today the Spanish army en
gaged in Morocco comprised only j

Radio May Take
Word of Storm
Peril for Crops
Broadcast warnings by the Gov
ernment, through wireless and
radiophone, conveying warnings of
storms or rain when growing
crops may be damaged, are ex
pected to follow requests which
Sena.tor Harris, Democrat, Georgia,
made of the Secretary of Agri
culture yesterday.
Benator Harris stated after the
interview that he was encouraged
to expect that arrangements would
be made for broadcasting warn
ings of approaching weather con
ditions which would tend to dam
age crops.
About a year ago, at the request
of Senator Harris, the Agricultural
Department initiated the broad
casting of market reports on the
priqe of cotton.
105,000 men. More than half this
force is spread over the western part
of the Spanish zone, with its princi
pal headquarters at Tetuan end La
rache. Whether further reductions
in the Spanish strength are possible
after providing for garrisons and
numerous blockhouses connecting the
strongly fortified positions along the
new line for the protection of the in
ternational road front Tangier to Fez
and the essential reserves for emer
gency action cannot be foreseen at
[ this time.
