Commenting on Ambassador Houghton's visit to Washington, the Daily Chronicle, which opposes the government, blames Sir Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary, for "tbo Ccneva fiasco," and adds: "Unless Chamberlain can plac; bis conduct in quite a different light thero is every reason to fear that tbo Coolidgo administration, which bltherto has been drawing visibly nearer In sympathy with Great Brit ain and tbo leaguo ot nations, will draw sharply , away again from both." , . ... .."':.;,'. .

J. B. Van Camp, spokesman for tbe Oregon avenue group, today de nounced the latest propcsal in no uncertain terms. The new plan, Mr. Van Camp stated. Is to cross Link Tiver at the present Main street bridge, then proceed up the hill past the River side school, then meander over the hills and finally drcp down again to the Rock Creek road, a plan which would Involve two grades and a roundabout course. . .'

"The plan to use the Link river bridge and foist upon motorists the necessity for taking a roundabout course, with steep grades, undoubt-j edly had its origin In tho minds ef. group of real estate men whose J .foldings would be crossed 'by tho proposed road," Mr. Van Camp said, "Tie people of Oregon avenao want an outlet across the river above the dam, and 1 believe that la' case ot a vote yen will find thorn at the polls to declare themselves. -. j Just becausa -a small . band of promoters is to be aided in a do-1 volopmeut scheme is no reascn fori making a change at this time.' 11 tho people vote such a change at the j polls, then majority opinion will pr3-j vail and no ono will iave a kick . coming, least ot all myself, but un til such public wish bns been regis tered tho fight will go on to put the connection," Van Camp declared. 01) SANGER 0 Long-Lost City May Be Found, ' , Belief Of Workers Delving In ; ' , Prehistoric Mound Across Sea CHICAGO, March 20.

The revelation of the 8. F. plans came from two sources: first a state ment by J. W.
