DISAPPOINTMENT OVER

ITALIAN REPLY

German Participation In All Future Conversations

London, Oct. 10.

Considerable disappointment is felt in British official circles at the character of Italy's reply to the Anglo-French Note, which is considered entirely unconstructive and has done nothing to improve the situation in the Mediterranean.

Regret is felt particularly that the tripartite discussions were declined even as a preliminary to wider negotiations, while all the Note does is to suggest reference of the problem to the Lon- don Non-Intervention Committee. It was precisely in order to find a speedy means of overcoming the Committee's outlook that the Anglo-French proposals were made.

20 YEARS

Pioneer Of The Tanks

SIR M. SUETER TELLS

HIS STORY

Considerable controversy is like- ly to be aroused as the resule of the publication of Rear-Admiral Bir Murray Sueter's book, "The

son, 12s. 6d.), says the "Morning Post."

For many

years 'Dr. Workman Intrigued the world with his travels in out-of-the-way places Evolution of the Tank." (Hutchin- by bicycle and in other ways. His

In 1899 he ascended the volcario of Bromo in Java, a height of about 11,000 feet, and between 1898 and 1912 he made one journey of nearly 2,000 miles through Baltistan, Ladakh, Nubra and Buru, and seven expeditions among the mountains and glaciers of the Western Himalayan and Kara- koram régions. He ascended many Himalayan and Karakoram peaks of over 20,000 feet, the highest point reached being 23,392 feet. He made the first exploration of the great 50-mile long Siachen glacier in 1912, discovering and ascending to two points at 19,000 and nearly 21,000 feet altitude on the Indus-Chinese and Turkestan water parting. He also discovered and crossed the ice-column con- necting the heads of Blachen and Kabery glaciers, making the first ascent of the latter.

WORLD BASEBALL SERIES

Yankees Again

Victorioi

New York, Det, 10. Beating the New York Giants by four runs to two to-day, the New York Yankees clinched the World Baseball Series, thus registering their second success in two years.

"Lefty" Gomez pitched a magni- dcent game for the winners. Though he conceded ten hits in the

course of the nine innings, they were all scattered and the Giants were able to force only two men home.

This is the fifth victory secured. by Gomez in 'World Series games, record equalled only by two ather pitchers in baseball history. Herb Pennock and Jack Coombs.

The weather during to-day's en- counter. which was played on the Polo Grounds, was cold and over- cast with gusts of rain. This of- fected the attendance, only 38.215 turning out to see the play.

Washington, Oct. 10 All possible ways in which the League and the United States could co-operate against Japan were discussed to-day by the For- eign Policy Association, which con- sidered that it would be possible for the League to impose an arms and shipping embargo against Ja-" States pan and for the United

to "invoke the simultaneously Neutrality Act, and thus place a ban on the export of arms and to from prohibit American vessels carrying war materials to either of the belligerent nations.

The opinion was expressed that this type of co-operation might bff-set any damage which the American arms embargo would do to China.

He declared that if the civil war continued until the spring he believed a world❘ war would be most probable.

BITTER ATTACK

In a bitter attack on the ad- ministration of the Navy the author writes:

"A little more of the Nelson touch and less churlish chidings in dealing with those who have creative minds, and who decline at any period of their careers to smother their new ideas to please Authority, and who absolutely refuse to be regarded as sheep by their Benior Officers, would do no harm in the administration of the Naval Service...

"Hostile criticism and crabbing every new effort, without having the ability to suggest something better. in war-time does not carry one very far."

It was not until 1935, 20 years later, that Admiral Sueter received the "appreciative thanks" of the Army Council for his part in the discovery of tanks.

Apart from the personal ques- tions in the book, the volume 1s extremely interesting as a fully documented account of the evolu tion of one of the most potent of all modern war Inventions.

It is fully illustrated, and, in- aludes. by permission of the Board of Admiralty, a drawing of the first caterpillar landship to be placed before responsible thority in the War. Many official letters in the possession of the author are, it is claimed, publish- ed for the first time.
