THE MEN OF THE OLD STONE AGE.

The discovery of certain caves in south
western Eurooe brings us near to the men
Of the old stone age. Their history extends
from the close of the last glacial age, say
twenty-five thousand to twenty thousand
Years ago, to the arrival of the men of the
new stone age perhaps ten thousand years
ago. We know that these early men had a
crude form of religion, that their dead were
properly buried, that among them were un-
doubtedly chiefs or rulers, and certainly
hunters and flint makers. Their primitive
implements are interesting and surprisingly
modern For instance, they used tooth picks!
80 states the director Of the EcoIe Odonto
technique in Paris. Now, however, we have
other evidence of all early age than its pri-
mitive implements. If the industrial history
Of our race was begun by these artisans, they
were succeeded by artists. To the stone i'm
PIGMENTS there succeeded bone implements,
and coincident with the bone there appeared
attempts at sculpture and painting, rs we
now find from discoveries in France and
Spain. To let to the history of art, there
fore, we no longer need to go to Egypt or
Assyria, but to the caves of France and
Spain. They contain the first preserved
paintings. How old are they? Anywhere
from TWENTY-FIVE thousand to more than two
hundred thousand years old, according to
the authority consulted. What is of more
interest, however, is She fact that, as these
works of art disclose, the cave mans life was
doubtless superior TO that of his nomad
brother of the plains For, according to
Professor George Grant MacCurdy, of Yale,
in the shelter and safety OF the rocky fast
nesses centers of culture arose. The caves
We're regarded also as sacre1 spots. The
ideas sculptured and pictut ed there were Of

giles of men against animals, or Of tribe with

TIE MEXICAN PUZZLE.

To all the proposed solutions Of the prob
lem II, to this country's duty about Mexico
objections are raised, and last week the
Administration at Washington seemed still
puzzleo aud Undecided. President Wilson,
unless greatly mis- represented by the press,

ni;lon IF Huerta aud to anything that would
make armed Intervention likely his hope

in Mexico but if he has any workable plan
for This, he has not nude it public. Henry
Lane Wilson, still our Ambassador to MeXl.o,
but now III Washington. holds views which
arr not apparently acceptable to the Admin
I%stlation, bat which made a distinctly strong
Impression rs presented las HIM before tue
Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations.
HIS recommendations include: the lmmedl-
ate recognition Of Huerta on MS undertake

country aud IN ASSUMING Il fair e.ectlolt IN
October the adjustment to the satisfaction
OF the United States of certain internatio nj
claims between the two countries aud the
prompt settlement, through Il commission,
Of the pecuniar1 claims Of American citizens
and others. Ia brief, MIR. Wilson, the Ana
bassador, would work through Huerta MI.
Wilson, the President, would no.. In par
tIcul0r, Ambassador Wilson believes that a
far election could be assured If the Uni ed
States would insist AS one Of the conditions
for recognizing the Huerta Government that
the present Minister Of the Interior be dis
placed and a man who believes IN strict
CONSTITUTIONS government be named III his
stead. He lays great stress upon the evil
financial and economic situation Of Mexico.
His idea is that if Huertu is recognized Mex
JtdH uutthct ciu De put on Il SOUND lOOtluSt
and that Huerta could then restore order
and help in establishing a moderate gov
eminent. But would Huerta DO this ? And
could he do it? The armed opposition in
northern Mexico is not to be ignored, and
IT'S leaders declare that Huerta's power
would fall Instantly if belligerency were
recognized by the United States and arms
allowed TO be sent from this country to the
insurgents. Ambassador Wilson, on the
other hand, declares that the 'abyss' over
which Hueta is t~ottering IS financial and
net military. Meanwhile Felix Diaz, who
is on his way to japan as Mexico's envoy,
has announced hat he will be IA candida q
for the Presidency. Under the Constitu-
ton OF Mexico Huerta is not eligible, but
IN Spanish American countries more than
once II has been found possible for a strong
man" to ignore or override such Constitu-
tional provisions. TIE root trouble in Mexi-
co is that there is no Mexican people in the
sense III which there is an American people.
Long submission 10 dictatorship under the
name of a republic has left the country
without right training for self-government.
The best that can be hoped is union of the
better-disposed leaders in the choice of some
fa'I~minded President who will not subordi-
nate the national welfare to personal ambi-
tion outlook. AuguSt 9h.
