/f ^ j . The flew York Evening Post sometime ago asked in large letters the question: ’’Can Europe come back?" XhExa To answer tibis the Post sent its Berlin correspondent, the brilliant H. E. Knickerbocker, on a tour of Europe- Knickerbocker is the man who won the Pulitzer Prize last year for his sesries of articles on Russia, The final of his series on jh*rope n-y. in general was published in the Post today, summing up the result of his investigations. And to the question - Can Europe come back - Mr. Knickerbocker answers emphatically - Yes, Europe jLs coming back. In order to make this answer, he traveled four thousand miles from the mud hovels of Budapest to the luxurious streets of Mayfair. Among other things, he says: "The chief peril is past. The credit crisis in Europe Is conquered,. Stock prices have climbed. Commodity prices are going up. The capital market^is reviving, bankruptcies have ceased. Governments continue Then too, national to be sta'^Le. jjPWWI. i'"rn".5 - £ Revolution anywhere is not to be seriously considered. War is more remote than ever. Furthermore, most of the great countries have balanced their budgets. Currencies no longer collapse. Every government is aiming a return to the gold standard. Trade barriers have ceased to grow like mushrooms. Such is a brief summing up of Mr. Knickerbocker^ inquiry into the state of Europe.

The Foreign Office at Athens today announced that it will neither let him be extradited nor deport him, A dispatch to the Cleveland Press says that the Greek government does not consider Samuel Insull in the class of common it criminals, which^is the custom to exchange by reciprocal agreements. His Greek visa is good for thirty days. If at the end of that time he is asked to leave, he can slip over the border to Bulgaria, with which country the United States has no extradition treaty. The New York Sun today carries a curious story about Samuel Insull, the 'fepEte of which is that in England the Chicago utilities potentate is known as a man of mystery. Of course, it is generally known by n-w that he was born in England ana lived there until he emigrated to the States at the age of f our teen, Today he seems to have quite a volume of investments in his native land. The curious thing about is that they are protected by IrtDWXj-u - 2 w-y. what the Sun calls a legal hedgt in the shape of a maze. It A is a system of interlocking companies and director^*apparently designed to baffle any amount of investigation. Even his private country home, a large and luxurious estate, has been turned into a limited company. SAjADA Zo -^Ze; J\iL^Jl+t* Canada’s new tariff is already having one reaction.

A Chinese x±x steamer bound from^Hongkong to,Saigon was held up off the China coast yesterday. She was boarded by Chinese pirates. On board the vessel that was attacked" were H*s.a and Canadiags=pa^sK>ng<Mw»\ But they were not injured. The pirates seized the vessel, looked the British officers in their cabins. Then without firing a shot they robbed the passengers, after which they kidnapped five^Chinese and went ashore in a small native junk. There a thrilling rescue today off the Port of A Cherbourg, France. Several days ago a party of well to do people including one American lady, started from Southhampton, for Egypt in a seaplane. It was piloted by an aviator who was a former Schneider cup champion. After starting from South- Sampton a storm forced the plane to alight on the surface of the sea in Cherbourg Roads, There the party remained x for several days and nights. Last night a severe storm blew up. It flooded A the zx|Ubc cabin, extinguished the lights, and tossed the passengers about until they were all prostrate.

Though it*s a scientific expedition, it has a decided romantic touch to it. The nine men and two women in the party hope to find proof of the existence of the toieh fabled ■»»tot»tsyy»iirp sunken continent of Atlantis. A dispatch to the Hartford Times says they sailed in a trim two masted schooner. At the head of the expedition is a professor of botany. He is going to make comparisons of the plants and trees on the islands of the West Indies. By this means he hopes to prove that those islands were once mountain peaks connecting what is now Florida with the continent of South America. These discoveries it is expected will develop theories about the famous lost Atlantis. UBS Mg I have several prize winders here in the Sunoco Tall Story contest, John P. Fisher of Kutztown, Pennsylvania, tells of a local gas station owner who decided to make a test. He put a gallon of Blue Sunoco in the car and told his assistant, Sam, just to keep on driving and see how far a gallon would take them. Then Sam was to telephone for some more gas. The car started out. Three days went hy, and no message from Sam. Then the phone rang. n&ay, boss", said Sam, nmy gas tank isn't empty yet, but I need four new tlrek right away.” •A* Harry H.

" Here’s an*£5H=^ from Philadelphia which ought to interest everybody who owns or uses a m&Ssmr car, SH k An article in the Animmskt Automotive Daily News says that the railroads are going to make a drive against the free use of passenger cars on the highways of the country. At present they are concentrating on the motor truck. The falling off in railroad revenues has been attributed in large part to the profusion of motor trucks which travel the numerous excellent highways in the United States.

Senator Hiram Johnson of California xxyx announced this morning that he cannot and will not support President Hoover for re-election.
