Mr. “‘hite has recently explored

the opening from which the bats
were seen coming the cavern be-

most ornate parts. were surveyed in
the spring of 1923 by Robert A.
Holley, of the General Land omce.
In September 1923. the cavern was

Who spent three days in extmining
and photographing it. On Mr. Lee's
return from New Mexico the No.

To our mind. the fundamental
Tact in the politics of modern Eu-
rope is that France should have so-
eurity. sad the precise mans by
which she seeks to assure it ore of
comparatively. minor importance.
And we adhere to that opinion from
a. purely British sundpoint. All
sensible Engiishment. are anxious to
restore our markets and reduce our
appalling army at unemployed, but
no improvement in British trade can
take pince until France feel: secure.
An insecure France means a. restless
Europe. and when Europe is rest-
less the markets are shut. It my
