fate of the former monarch's numerous
progeny, aa well aa that of twenty
princes and princesses of the royal
blood. Since the Sultan's flight the
Nationalists government has been sup
porting these women, In addition ts
104 eunucba and many servants. Tha

A POSSIBLE BATTLE
RIVERS
What might develop into
‘battle of the rivers” in which
modern engineering and internation-
al boundaries would play important
parts in a dispatch from the Pyre-
This dispatch atates that
while France is considering the diver
sion of one of the French headwaters
of the Spanish river Segre, Spanish
engineers are studying the possibili
ties of making a retaliatory diversion
of the Garonne which rises in Spain
and flows through France. A built,
tin from the Washington, D. C-,
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic Society tells something of
these two rivers which might bring
about a unique "war" of picks and
shovels and concrete dams.
