Torrio, who was ready to flee the country with a fortune of £2,000,000 in United States Government securities, and who was captured yesterday, owed his downfall to the close co- ordination now existing between the Government departments. He had applied for a passport In Washington and booked a passage in the liner Empress of Australia, leav Fine Quebec the following Sunday for

MR

TR. HOWARD CARTER -archeologist and ex- plorer of Tutankhamen fame-wants to find the tomb of Alexander the Great, but the expedition will be costly

He said to a press representa- tive in, London:--

"If I should once make an impor tant fik concerning Alexander the Great, it la pretty certain that the Government would take control and finance further exploration.

"As it is, I must just mark time, and hope the money will come from

somewhere.

"These expeditions are expensive. "When we excavated for the Lomb of Tutankhamen between £30,000 and £75,000 was spent. Moving the objects once the tomb is opened is costly.

"It took us nine years to remove everything froi Tutankhamen's tooth, and cost £11.000."

LAST WISH

Mr. Carter believes that Alexander was buried somewhere on the out- skirts of the old town of Alexandria, It is known that his inst wish was to be furled there.

"But to excavato there would be like trying to excavate under a Lon- don suburt," Mr. Carter added. "We should have to dig under people's houses,

the incessant efforts made by every British Government since the War to get an agreed limitation of armuunexits had not been more sue- cessful.

On the question of battleships, Lord Stanley said he could only re- peat they were not building against any single country, but it has been proved by the mere fact that Ger many, France and Italy were, uil building battleships that the day of battleships was not over and it was essential to start as early as possible in replacing the rapidly oging British battle feets-British Wireless.
