PAGE EIGHT Ha AUSTRALIAN MOUNTED POLICE ADD TO TRADITION BY BRAVE EXPLOIT Canberra, Australia.-- Morey and Mahoney of the Australian Mounted are being slapped on the back. Like their brethren in Canada, they get their man. A year ago a cannibal tribe ambushed, murdered and prob- ably ate five Japanese pearlers in Caledon Bay. Morey and Ma- honey set out to show the canni- bals what British law thinks of such practices. For a long time they strug- gled through jungle, desert and wilderness until they found the tribe. Eluding the "Cockatoos" (lookouts), they boldly .strode into the camp as the tribe was performing a ceremonial dance. The natives, quaking in fear at the sudden appearance of the white men, which they regarded as a miracle, stood by dumb- founded while Morey and Ma- honey seized the Chief and Medi- cine Man and put them in chains, Then the two policemen, with their prisoners, tramped back to Darwin, 1,400 miles through the wild lands, with wails of mourn- ing behind them. MURDER IS FEARED TURNER VALLEY, IN DEATH OF ALTA., SCHOOLBOY Calgary, Nov. 30. -- George Hunter, 14-year-old Turner Val- ley school boy with ambitions to become an aviator, was found dead beside his secret love--a small half-built airplant of rough design and incomplete motor. The lad, forsaking his school studies all except four days in the past two months, met death in circumstances indicating mur- der under the glare from the flares of a Turner Valley waste gas line, where he was building his flying craft. An inquest has been ordered at Turner Valley, 40 miles southwest of here, and two transients who found the body are being held for question- ing: Slowly police were unravelling the mystery of the disappearance of young Hunter, missing from his home since last Friday. It was learned the lad had been away from school and police be- lieve he spent his days building the airplane in the bushes, kept warm by the waste gas flare. But so far no motive for the suspected murder has been dis- closed and the injuries the boy suffered to his head and chest in- dicated he had been slain, prob- ably by a rifle bullet. One report from Turner Val- ley said footprints of a man and woman led to within 100 feet of where the body was found 'and that foot-prints of the man con- tinued and back-tracked from the spot to where the woman appar- ently waited. The footprints dis- appeared towards the highway. FEMALE FISHES WHICH PROPAGATE INDEPENDENTLY OF MALES FOUND Ann Arbor, Mich.--A race of female fishes which live and pro- pagate independently of males of their kind has been found by Dr. Carl L. Hubbs, University of Michigan zoologist. All their young are females, and the off- spring invariably 'take after mother" with fine disregard for the beautiful fins carried by "fa- ther and his folks." The discovery of these Ama- zonfan creatures, scientists here say, may bring about some fun- damental changes in sclentific ideag of evolution. These queer animals belong to a group of tro- pical fish which give birth to their young instead of laving eggs. They have had the scienti- | fic name Mollienisia Formosa, and fish of this genus are referred to commonly as Mollies. They are first cousing of the Guppies, which to some extent have re- placed goldfish as household pets. Dr. Hubbs found that Mollieni- sia Formosa is a hybrid between two other species, Mollienisia Latipinna and Mollienisia Sphe- nops. Experiments in the Michi- gan Museum of Zoology showed that "formosa" would mate with male Latipinnas or male Sphe- nops with the same results. All the young were female "Formo- sas. From these tests Dr. Hubbs concluded that he had found the first apparent case of partheno- genesis among vertebrates---off- spring which have no true fath- er. Mollies are small fish, not over an inch long. In the past there have been bi- ologists who believed that hy- bridization plays a role in the process of evolution, Dr. Hubbs' discoveries about 'Formosa' may lead to evidence that mod- ern animals in some cases devel- oped from crosseg of older spre- fes. usually League Arms Driving for reduction of armaments is the main object of a five-power conference to be held at Geneva at the end of this week, it is learned here. If the parley is successful it will mean virtually that the great powers will engage to bring about curtailment not only of war materials but also of man- | power. Norman Davis, United States representative, has been drivin quietly toward this tanzible goal in his conversations with the Bri- tish, German and Italian repre- sentatives at Geneva and with Premier Herriot here. Apparently he decided that the only way to get quick results is to remove from disarmament dis- cussions such dangerous political matters as that of security against aggression and that of equality in armaments. "Sort of Truce" The indications are that he has succeeded in negotiating a sort of truce in the discussion of these matters. Although this week's meeting, if it succceds, may mean only slight reductions, plans already are under way to create the mechanism by means of which progressive reductions would be Conference Toward Goa! poss would want Russia as well | arrangement, especial | new Franco-Russian pi dggression has established a ne political link between | countries.

In the field of naval arms the chief problem is to effect an accord between France and Italy so that the Washington and London Naval Treaties could be completed. The Americans, acting solely as helpful intermediaries, are tackling this problem. by keeping the word 'parity' out of the dis- cussion, and by trying to get France and Italy to agree on na- val building prozrams up to 1936, It is said that they have considerable progress these lines, Prevention made along Partial Socia lization of Medicine is Urged New York.--Partial 'socialization of medicine advocated by the Com- mittce on the Costs of Medical Care after a lengthy and detailed study into the relation of medicine to the people, The committee made five recommendation : major 1.

FRANCO: RUSSIAN TREATY IS HAILED | Paris Press "Acchims Pact | as Instrument of Stability | Paris, Nov. 30. The | Franco-Russian pact of concillia tion and- non-aggression, which has been approved by the French Cabinet and was signed Tuesday, | has heen hailed by the Pari press as an important instrument of stability in Europe. Each country undertakes in the treaty never to resort to arms against the other, either alone or in conjunction with a third power, and each promises to re- spect the territories under the sovereignty of the other. The pact also provides that if a third power attacks either of the signatories, the other will aid the agaressor neither directly nor indirectly, And neither I"'rance nor Russia will make any international agreement hamper- Ing the commerce of the other or | interfering with the granting of credits. | Diplomatic circles attached conglderable importance to the pact, ag it was learned that ne- | motiationg have just been bhezun in Paris for a Franco-Russian commercial treaty. France therefore is planning to increase her exports to Russia. Importance Stressed I'ress comment, in addition to emphasizing the importance of the agreement as an instrument of stability, declared that it off- set tho Soviet treaty with Ger- many because it ohtainel Russian neutrality, Russia never wonld aid any power which attacked France, these commentators pointed out.

Poland has ratified non-aggressive and concilliation pacts with Soviet Russia which have heen negoti- ated over a long period of time. President Mosciki signed tha doc- uments, The non-aggression pa.t was initialed last July and its corol- lary, the concilliation pact, wan initialed in Moscow by Masim Litvinoff, Foreign Commissar, and Stanislag Patek, the Polish Ambassador on Dec. 11. The Polish-Soviet non-aggr:s- sion pact Is one of several simi- lar pacts negotiated by the Sov- fet Government. One was re- cently concluded with Franeas and another has heen under con- sideration with Rumania. In the pact, both parties de- clare their eagerness to maintain peace and the 1921 Riga trea'v remains a basis for mutual rela- tions and obligations. Both par- ties state that in their mutual relations they have renounced war as a national policy and oblige themselves mutually, to re- frain from any aggressive acts.

Nassau, Bahamas, Dec. 1, -- "Not, For Sale," is the terse an- swer the Bahamag have to a sug- gestion made by Mr. Justice Minturn to President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt, on the eve of their War-deht conference that "nations which have island possessions at our doors (a standing menace to our peace and gecurity) should transfer such possessions to us as a quid pro quo' for cuting down the war debt on a fair basis of an- praisal, "This proposal," he adds, 'which will test their sin- cerity, involves no cash pay- ment." Speaking for the people of the Bahamas, the Nassau Guardian, oldest paper in the Bahamas, dis- cusses the suggestion in no nn- certain terms. Remote Interest "The question of war debts to the United States by European powers," the paper says, would have only a remote interest for the Bahamas, the general prosperity of world is concerned, but it brought very close to us when we find that there are still people in the United States who think that these islands which after all are among the oldest possessions of the Crown, can be bartered awav. '""We assume that the Bahamas Islands are among the islands in question for they are at the very door of the United States, but we challenge the statement that tney are a standing menace to their peace and security. Mr, Justice» the except so far as | ix | Islands "Not For Sale" Bahama's Terse Reply Minturn flatters us indeed. Pos- sibly he may have heard exag- gerated accounts of our activi- ties around Fort Charlotte, (his- toric Bahamas fort being reno- vated as a gightseeing attraction) or perhaps the news that an emi- nent admiral is visiting the islands may have reached his ears, but even so his fears would seem to be groundless. His sug- gestion by the way, is by no means original, "Other Americans, who ought to know better, have mooted it before and it has an irritating way of cropping up periodically, notwithstanding the emphatic declarations of princes and Prime Ministers that the British Wast Indies are not for sale. We should like to remind Mr. Justice Minturn that the Bahamas Islands were British long before an Munroe Doctrine was ever heard of and they are as con- sclougs and jealous of their an- cient rights and privileges as subjects of the British Crown to- day as they were before 1776. "We hesitate to regard his suggestion as serious but we can- not allow it to pass without a protest and an assurance that any such proposal would mee: | with the stoutest resistance ia the islands whose loyalty to the Crown he has so sadly underesci- mated."
