The oasis, which is usually reached by a big detour along the Mediterr- anean coast, lies miles to the west of Cairo, The area between is wholly without water, We hoped to find a way across direct by car, writes Major R. A, Bagnold, Royal Corps of Signals, in the London Times, and all the afternoon we had been driving westward on a compass bearing. Here and there, at intervals of a score of miles, rose black, solitary hills, 100 feet in height, flat-topped remnants of a higher level plateau long since removed by the wind, In the frst 50 miles our two cars passed gazellcs which graze on occasional blades of dew-fed grass, and never drink, Then even these were left behind. The yellow plain gave place to a series of shallow basins between low winding ridges of sun-browred shin. gle, their slopes crinkled into branch- ing imitation brooks where nothing ever flows but sand. Herizon fol- lowed pebbly horizon interminably-- no features visible that were not mul- tiplied in every direction as in a hall of mirrors--no living plant or even insect, The gnarled black trunks of forest trees that lie about for many hundred miles only increase the sense of utter lack of life, for they have ages ago been turned to stone. Their broken splinters, mingled with the flints, tinkled on one another steely hard under our wheels, Sometimes the logs lie singly for several miles, sometimes in tumbled heaps--perhaps the vast debris of some flood that swept over North-East Africa long ago. We halted at sunset behind a low bank 100 miles from the Nile. Early next morning we sighted: the Ramak Dunes, perhaps the most re- markable sand formation in the world --a single ridge of sand reaching down from the north geometrically straight for 80 miles from beneath the inland cliffs that bound the coas- tal plateau, Its clean-cut sides are never more than a few hundred yards apart. It is as if someone had ac- curately dumped sand in great 100 feet heaps one on another along a ruled straight line, The Sand Wall The dunes aye uncrossable for cars, and on approach show up as a con- tinuous wall with any scattered sand brushed neatly up to leave a clean edge along the pebble floor around. They end abruptly to the south with one small outlying heap, and it was for this point we were making. Forty miles to the south-east the sand wall begins again, and the great to took Crum into custody and lodg- ed him in the cells at Woodstock, He will come before the Magistrate tomorrow, 'MODERATOR GENERAL ASSEMBL IN WHITBY SUNDAY EVENING (By Btaft ) : "Whitby, July 28--Rev.

A SAVES CHILD BUT LOSES OWN LIFE London, Ont., July 27--After goin to the rescue of an 11-year-ol ne Russell B. (Verne) Plewes, 31 years old, 3 Dalton street, was himself drowned near the Casino at Port Stanley, early tonight, Plewes, who was a graduate of the Universit of Toronto, was sitting with his family on the beach when he heard the girl's screams for help, hrowing off part of his clothing, he plunged into the water and after youths who had also swam out to the spot where the girl was in trouble, Plewes was following them into the beach when he suddenly disappeared and he had drowned before the res- cuers could reach him, Mr, Plewes was born in London and had lived here most all his life. oung children, his parents; Mr, and rs, D, R.

Beyond that the narrow line runs on again solid and uncrossable for yet another 100 miles, The dune behind us, we changed course to a north-westerly bearing, and went on over finer gravel, chocolate in hue and soft, through which the cars Ja- bored heavily and boiled, Next day, 250 miles from Cairo, we found ourselves on the edge of a line of cliffs below which, to the south, lay a terrible tract of white jagged rock and, in the distance, massed sand dunes shining pale and unreal against the sky, Edging away from the escarpment we steered a course deg, north of west for 50 miles to strike the masrab, or camel track, leading to Siwa from the Mahashash Desert in the north-east. It would be our only guide to the one known crossing place over the river of rock- salt, or sabbakha, ahead of us which » | winds down near the wells of Tebugh- bugh, on the edge of the Great Sand ea, Lost After going 50 miles we could see no masrab, MWe approached the 1,000-foot cliffs which separate the coastal plateau from the low-lying inland desert a few miles more only to find ourselves entangled between long tongues of soft yellow salt- marsh, hardly distinguishable in the glare from the surrounding limestone ust and sand. Every yard the ground softer with damp fluffy salt crystals, A glassy mirage hung about the face of the cliffs lifting them into the air, We had lost our way. There was nothing for it but to return, so we 'back in bottom gear along our tracks for ten stifling miles. Sud- denly all the cars turned west, as simultaneously we had spotted two tiny upright stones on the skyline which must mark the camel track. Lines of camel foot-marks, now ob- vious, led straight to the crossing place of the main sabbakha, 14 miles away. Here was a strange sight. In this one place the blanket of sticky yellow clay was absent, and the com- pressed black wrinkled surface of the salt lay e It was as if the whole long river, freshened by an an- cient wind into fi high waves, had been turned eS stone, With good reason did the old reeks as- sign this Libyan land as the home of the petrifying Gorgons. The cars creaked and groaned as each wheel independently and fell over the cracked waves of upthrust salt. For nearly an hour we crawled across at walking pace. Halfway we passed 2 brine pool edged with snowy cry- ~ some male must die in the night. Climbing out by a steep camel track up the layered cliffs in a series of great steps to the upper plateau, the air felt fresh and crisp. The single Siwa telegraph line now led on over a plain of dazzling white, and by mid- day we were on the cliff-edge once more, 70 miles farther west, over- with its salt lakes and distant rows of palms dark green against a shin- ing skyline, where the great Sand Sea begins. From somewhere here must Alexander the Great have first seen water after his long desert march from the coast on that strange journey of his to the Siwan temple to have himself proclaimed a god. Verdure at Last The rough road twisted down the cliff face. Below, it ran out into the stuffy low-lying hollow for a dozen miles of soft sand followed by inter- minable meadows of salt with coarse grass and stunted palms. Then sud- denly all changed and we entered the thick palm forest we had heen ap- proaching for so long. A stream of water ran beside the road, and mud walls, winding among the palms, enclosed damp gardens of oranges and pomegranates. Always the nomad tribes in the west must 'noked down with greedy eyes into these oasis, and in constant fear . vais, The Siwan villages became sheer-walled impregnable fortresses of mud, which the increasing ressure of population forced upwards on house to form airless laby- rinths of passages and donjon dwell- ings. The old town of Siwa itself is a veritable hill tapering to the summit in the latest American style; but no one lives there now, as after a re- cent earthquake, which cracked the mud walls, the Egyptian Government ordered the whole place to be evacu- ated, There are many theories as to who the Siwans are. They have a distinct fair type of face (though negro slaves have interbred), and speak an old Berber language of their own.

A mile through the palms, on a rock as a Qara, stands the village of Aghormi, where are the ruins of the Temple of Ammon, and near this the palms fall away at the shore of a blye salt lake. AUSTRALIA NEEDS BRITISH SETTLERS Premier Bruce Says Dole Could Finance Develop- Ment Plan : Sydney, New South Wales, July 2]~In a speech Wednesday before the Sydney Chamber of Commerce, Prime Minister Bruce said that Aus- tralia's greatest desire was an ever increasing inflow of British people, but that the flow must be conditioned y the country's power for economic absorption. "We are not prepared to undermine our standard of national health by lowering the standard of physical fit- ness we require for migrants, "Britain's difficulties today are largely due to her failure to recog- nize in the past that a permanent so- lution of her great problem of sure plus population could only be achiey- ed through the development of the great potential resources of the Do. minions and evolving a great scheme of Empire co-operation. "Australia can economically absorb a population only by the development of her natural resources and expand- ing her secondary industries. "At present Britain is spending be- tween $200,000,000 and $250,000,000 in doles to those for whom work can- not be found. Surely it would be worth while to expend what in com- parison would be small sums to pro- mote development and create useful avenues for men, whose morale, under the present system, must inevitably be undermined. Of the 15,000,000 pounds provided by Great Britain during the last five years for over- seas development, only a fraction was spent, I suggest that the reason was because the problem has never been really tackled."

The dispatch charges that Great Britain and 'France have tried to in. terrupt any efforts to include the So- viet among the signatories, acting on the interests of minor European pow ers bordering on Russia. The correspondent suggests that the time has arrived for the United States to demonstrate to the Soviet's Union that she is primarily desirous of having war outlawed, regardless of the exigencies of the presidential campaign or of the competition of the United States with the League of Nations, He adds that this can best be achieved if the United States opens to Russia the door to this peace enterprise, The Tageblatt itself, commenting on this dispatch from its Moscow man, says that inclusion of Russia in the pact would probably persuade, if it did not obligate, the Soviet Union to adopt a more constructive policy toward bourgeois states, Most of the leaders of the Reich- stag and of German Government de- partments are on vacations, but Phil. ip Scheidelmann, Socialist leader and chairman of the Reichstag committee on foreign relations was found in the capital, He said: WE "Whether Russia is to join in signing the Kellogg treaty depends upon her readiness to do so, So far as Germany is concerned, -the par- ticipation of Russia would be highly welcome, NEW PRESIDENT OF O, A, C, EXPECTED AT GUELPH SOON Guelph, July 27.--~Word has been received at the Ontario Agz- ricultyral College to the effect that Dr. G, I, Christie, recently ap- pointed President, will arrive at the College some time during the week of Aug. 6, He is at present at Perdue University, Wisconsin, where he was formerly connected, and is making preparations to leave to take up permanent resi- dence in Guelph, AWARDED CONTRACT Port Arthur, July 27.--J.

It is understood the minister is supported by one section of the con gregation, which will withdraw from the church and form a new congre- gation, with Mr. Gonder as their pastor, Interest Runs High The issue has caused much inter. est in Baptist circles in the city, When the Baptist split came some time ago Memorial chirch joined the ranks of the Fundamentalists, and now this latest separation has caus- ed widespread interest, and the out- come is awaited with some specula~ tion, Meanwhile, it is stated, Mem- orial congregation is preparing to continue as usual, while those sup porting Rev. Mr. Gonder will meet in temporary quarters. The resolution which brought the situation to a head is :: follows: "Whereas, there is on the part of many professing Christian people and of many churches a widespread de- parture from the faith of Christ not only in doctrine, but in practice; "And whereas, the standards of the Word of God require that His Re- deemed people should be so separated from the world as to make it evident to all that, while in the world, they are not of it; "And whereas, various forms of worldly amusements, such as the theatre, the dance and the card table, manifestly militate against the de- velopment of Christian character and is supreme In clean, bright Akeminum. RESOLUTION LOST | impair the Christian witness of those who are addicted thereto; "And whereas, the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lo:d implies a surrender to His will and a repudiation of the authority of all persons or organizations out of har- mony with the principles of the Gos- el; "Therefore, be it resolved, that this church reaffirms its adherence to the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God, and to the Gospel of redemption through the blood of Christ as its only message for {alle men, and calls upon every member of the church to surrender himself for the service of Christ, and to s¢)- arate himself 'or herself from i persons, organizations or practices which would militate against the de- velopment of their Christian charac- ters or impair their witness, and 1p uphold the pastor, Rev. R. K. Gon- der, in his stand for separation, and that we unite our hearts and hands in an endeavor to win the unsaved ®f Stratford to Christ." Amendment Carries An amendment was immediatcly presented disagreeing with Rev. Mr, Gonder's attitude on "separation and was carried by a vote of 29 to 12 After announcing his resignation this afternoon, Rev. Mr, Gonder stated he had accepted a position in the fac. tory of the Kroehler Manufacturing Company, Limited, but that he would continue in the ministry and lead the new congregation to be formed.
