Government Offers
Any Possible Aid,

Washington, Dec 26.-Seeretary of La
bor Wilson today ordered John B. Dens-
more, solicitor of the department. to Cal
umet, Mich, to render any assistance
possible in settling the copper strike sit
uation. The Christmas eve tragedy in
which 70 lives were lost, the secretary
said he thought was a matter for state
investigation.
In a telegram TO President Meyer OF
the Western Federation of Miners, Sec
retary Wilson said it appeared that the
tragedy was mot in any way connected
with the strike situation"
Il cannot conceive of such a connec-
tion existing the secretary's message
continued. 1T is almost inconceivable
that anyone could be so inhuman as to
plan such catastrophe; whether it was
planned or the result of malicious mis-
chief, l hope the facts will be promptly
brought to light. From the information
as yet in my possession 1t would appear
to be purely a statutory crims. solely

ing the solicitor of the department, Mr..
John b. Densmore, to Calumet for the
purpose of rendering any assistance pos

Secretary Wilson further declared he
was shocked at the accounts of the dis
aster and expressed to President Meyer
his sympathy Solicitor Densmore. it was
announced at the department, was in
structed by Sec Wilson to endeavor to
bring about settlement of the strike.

The rebel government thus has its chief

then came down again. In the valleys
that surround the Swiss Alps this evil
dence is especially clear and is no lon
ger matter of doubt. But between the
successive periods of warm climate-at
times a much warmer climate even than
that which Europe now possesses-there
were evidences of very great changes in
the animal life. in the plant life, in the

In melting, the glaciers released vast
quantities of water, which cut deep VAL
leys and spread@out great sheets and
beds of "shotter" pebble and small rock
and then cut new valleys through these
beds. From the study of these valleys
Prof. Penck, of Berlin, has been able to
make UP a kind of crude chronology of
these glacial and non-glacial periods and
to compute in ar ough way that alto
gether they covered several hundred
thousand, if not perchance a million,
years or more. 1t is a very beautiful
piece of work which Prof. Penck has
done, and of great ingenuity.
But how to link this chronology with
that of the human race? 1t was long
ago evident that man must have lived in
a glacial period. because his remains
have been found beside the bones of ami
mails of the coolest climates. But was it
merely the latest ice ages-that of per-
haps only 2o0O0 or 5000 years ago?
1t happens that the richest and clear

many or the Tyrel, while hitherto clear
evidences of human habitation in these
regions in glacial times were quite lack

glacial chronology could be built up
Here, as it were, were two tfmepieces
side by side, but with no comon denomi-

1t was for this reason that three recent
discoveries have been of capital import

quarters of a century of study. In the

in excavations near Leipzig and by Neu-

paleolithic character, and these in beds
deposited by the melting glaciers whose
place in Prof. Penck's scheme may be
clearly fixed. The two timepieces have
been at last synchronized
When so years ago Darwin published
his Descent of Man, there were many

link but all the missing links have been

upon the immense period which has been

Mexico have made visits to most of
the important ports during the past
few days no alarming reports have
been received from them concerning
foreigners. 1t was said tonight that
although provisions may be running
short, there is not much likelihood that
any Americans are suffering extreme
privatlons. The American Red Cross
has aided many Americans in differ
ent parts Of Sinaloa but no applica-
ton has been made for assistance by
residents in Toholobampo.
The arrival of the German cruiser
Nurnberg at Mazatlan from San Blaz
was reported in today's consular dis
patches. A British gunboat has left
MaZatlan for Manzillo. The American
cruiser Pittsburg is now at Mazatlan.
Officials said tonight that any of these
vessels could extend succor to foreign
ers. According to state department re-
ports Cen. Aguilular, the rebel leader,
with 700 men recently entered the
Hacienda owned by the Tampico Nav
igation Co. and compelled payment of

Hands too Full to
Move His Base.

Chihuahua. Mex, Dec. 26.-Why Gen.
Carranza, recognized head of the revolu-
tion, has not moved his headquarters
from Hermosillo to the center of military
activity at Chihuahua became an unan-
swered question about Gen. Villas head
quarters today. General Villa, who had
expressed himself as in full accord with
Gen. carranza and who had formally In
yited him to Chihuahua. had received no
notification of his chiefs intention to
come.
General Villa has been compelled to-
exercise much more than military au-
thority, his advisers say, because Gen
Carranza has not assumed here the civil
responsibility of the rebel government

embassy now in Toxic to enlist in the
service of the Mexican army, according
to information received by the war
office here. The request, it is said, is
being considered.
1t is reported that five-hours skir-
mish took place today between feder-

wars men who are suffering from ma
laria contracted during the recent
fighting between the rebels and the

Notwithstanding the fact that sever
al American battleships have been on

year, their sick list has been small,
but during the recent fighting at Tam

to go up the Panuco river in order to
be in closer touch with the operations.
While on these trips the American
sailors were forced to fight continual
