a wider opportunity for usefulness in
serving their country and promoting
the welfare of its people, he could
express no opinion as to the desira-
bility Of such legislation. To use his
language, l conceive that to be part
Of the whole process of government,
that I shall be spokesman for some
body, not myself, and that have to
confine myself to those things which
have been embodied as promises to
the people at an election. That is
the strict rule set for myself. This
was his answer to the ladies. But
when the powerful railroad iniluenc
es, behind the mask Of English in
terests, got into action this strict
rule, which he set for himself, disap-
peared, and he declared that the ex-
emption constitutes a very mistaken
policy from every point Of view.
When the women asked word from
him in behalf of suffrage he said that
he had to confine himself to those
things which have been embodied as
promises to the people at an election
When the English interests appealed
to him, he forgot the promises made
to the people at an election and was
very willing to speak for somebody
besides himself. 1t is true that we
have expended about four hundred
millions of our own money In con-
structing this canal on our own ter
ritory and that the Democratic House
of Representatives, Republican
Senate by an overwhelming majority,
Mr.. Taft, then president of the Uni
ted States. and the Democratic ma
tional convention all Thought we had
a perfect right to permit our own
ships engaged in our domestic COM
merce to go through Stree Of tolls, II
we saw fit to do so. But England
claims that this must not be done
without her consent, though her ships
can not engage in our domestic COM
merce, and she has not directly or
indirectly invested Il dollar in the
construction of the canal. The greed
of the railroads and the audacious
claims of Great Britain seem far more
potent with our president than the
appeal of the womanhood of the ma,
ton. =.
So, say, the consideration. of this
amendment has been educational in
more ways than one. 1t has given us
line upon some of the peculiar and
interesting characteristics of our
chief executive that may be exceed.
ingly useful to the country in the
future.
For instance, the Democratic plat.
! form contains this declaration.
! We favor a single presidential term
and we pledge the candidate of this
convention to this principle.
At the proper time will the presi-
dent interpret this plank in harmony
with his position as to suffrage or as
to canal tolls?

Early Human Remains in America

The determination of the age of the earliest human remains found
on the American continent is of great interest. Until a few years ago
North America was supposed to offer the most valuable evidence in this
regard, though the bureau of American ehnoogy declared in 1907
that no specimen had come to light in the northern continent which
from TIL standpoint of physical anthropology represented other than rel
atively modern man."
At that time some apparently epoch-making discoveries we're re-
finds of bones and cultural objects in Argentina. AS a result the atten-
ton of the world was attracted to these places and there was a renewal
of the story of Atlantis, the origin and descent Of the human race being
traced from very primitive anthopod forms of South America. More
recently interest has reverted to North America from the discovery of
human remains in an asphalt deposit at Rancho La Brea in Southern Cal
ifornia. a preliminary report on these was read befor the museum of
history, science and art of Los Angeles, June II, 1914, by John c. Mer-
RAM.
The bureau of American ethnology was o much interested in the
South American finds that two experts were sent to conduct an impair
hl investigation. The conclusion was that the human remains from the
Iagoa Santa Caves cannot be accepted without further and more con-
elusive proofs as belonging to a race which lived contemporaneousy
with the extinct species of animals foun1 in the same caves. A similar
mfavorabe conclusion was reached regarding the antiquity of the skull
taken from the harbor of Buenos Ayres. The specimen was taken from
the oozy bed of the river when the workmen were excavaing for the
dry dock at Buenos Ayres.
The conclusion of the report is that, while it is not possible to give
a definite estimate of the age of the skeleton found it belongs to a mod
ern period. 1t does not necessarily belong to the present historical per-
id, but cannot be considered as having antedated it by many thousands
of years. Merriam considers it well worth exhaustive scientific nvesti-
cation, and the last word on the subject cannot be written until a great
deal more study has been given the objects found. The associations are
typical Rancho La Brea fauna, which cone from a very old geologic
period. According to DR.. A. L. Kroeger, the racial characteristics do not
differ decidedly from those of persons whose remains have been exca-
waited in mounds on Santa Rosa Island off the coast Of Southern Cali
fornia. While the question of antiquity is undecided, every evidence
which we have, says The Journal of the american Medical association,
would seem to point in North IS well as South America to the COM
paratively recent origin or occurrence, geologcany speaking, of man
on Our continent.

saying goodbye to sons and wives to husbands Outside the
London barracks of an early morning there were sights to be seen
that would have repaid description. All down the southern roads
through Kent and Hampshire great trains of transports and ar
tlery have been rumbling day and night. Those who knew the
secrets of departure and destination kept them; those who did not
know them asked no questions. Even when, on August IL, the
King went to Aldershot to say goodbye to the expedtionary force
and was received with enthusiasm worthy of the occasion by thou
sands and thousands of soldiers not 4 word was said. The Kings
farewell telegram to his troops at Southampton wa never publish
ed. 1t is only now that we learn of that little printed letter from
Lord Kitchener which every soldier carries with hinl-a reminder
that a good soldier fears God, honours his King and country, alb
stains from liquor and looting, and is courteous, and no more
than courteous, to women.

CHAS. THOMAS
DIES IN JAIL
DEATH BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN CAUSED BY OVER
DOSE OF MIXTURE

Charles Thomas, who was sentenc-
ed in the justice court last month to
a term of sixty days on a petty lar
ceny charge, having pleaded guilty
to stealing blankets from a residence
on Ramsey street, was found in a
dying condition shortly after IL
o'clock yesterday in the Jail, as the
result of drinking a mixture contain
ing alcohol and a quantity of choral
hydrate. DR.. Mccarthy was hastily
summoned, but the unfortunate man
passed away soon after his arrival.
Thomas, who had been acting as
a trusty and was given a certain
amount of liberty, knew that the bot
tie, which was used in SOLDERING up
DRINKS, vas kept locked in a chest
ard managed to pry open the door.
The usual dose is a teaspoonful to
a glass of water, but Thomas evil
IDENTIFY neglected the water and took
several swallows of the stuff with
the accompanying result. Whether
his craving for alcohol forced him to
drink it or whether he Intentionally
committed suicide will never be
known, but it is believed the former
is the case, as he was addicted to
drink. Little is known concerning
the whereabouts of his people, but
they are believed to reside in Mis-
souri,. An inquest will be held over
his remains Wednesday.

The Lifting of the Veil

For several weeks now the correspondents Tor American pubhca.
tnns nave been writing from London Of the unusual secrecy maintain
ed by the English government in regard to the movement of troops and
oil other matters pertaining to the great European war. 1t was told that
the newspaper readers of the United States knew more about what was
happening in Great Britain than the people living in London, also that
the English people accepted the situation with calnness and without
criticism. 1t is only lately that there have been indications OF a grow
ing restiveness o the part of the British public because of the rgors OF
the press censorship.
: The Tribune has in hand a copy of the weekly edition of the Lon
don Times of the date of August Fl, telling of the suppression OF the
war news by the English press and containing an editorial description
of the landing of the British expedtionary force a Bouogne some
time previous to that date. This description follows:

binary feats in modern history-the dispatch OF a large force OF

sent us a particular account OF the preparations at Boulogne-the
ouays and harbour buildings cleared, the troop trains in waiting

The Modern Siege Gun

The great seige guns that have been brought into prominence by
virtue of their use in the present European war ar a startling indca
ton of modern inventive progress. Forts popularity supposed to be inn
pregnable have been destroyed by these siege guns almost as if they had
been constructed of paper mache, and their use strikes terror to the OPP
posing force. Some interesting facts in relation to these big guns, and
something of the history of their introduction into modern warfare, is
told in a special article by an ordnance expert in the war issue of the
Scientific American of October 3 as follows:
One of the most striking developments brought to light, or at least
brought to public attention, by the present war, is the enormous size
and power OF the mobile artillery with which the contending armies, and
particularly those of Germany, are equipped. The most formidable of
these weapons, the one which has attracted most attention in the present
war, is the enormous IIinch siege mortar. The II-inch mortar was
developed and constructed in large numbers at the famous ordnance
works of krupp at Essen. In respect of size, weight and destructive
power this piece marks the climax of a rapid development of heavy
ordnance capable of being transported with an army and quickly en-
placed for the reduction of permanent Notifications. such as those which
were reduced at Liege and Namur.
Up to the time of the Russo Japanese war, a distinction was made
between heavy and light siege units. The latter were mounted upon
wheeled carriages, and they were capable of being moved with an army
on the march. The heavier seige units, those of from 0inch to II-inch
caiber, required special means for their transportation. The massive
parts, such as the gun and its carriage, had to be conveyed by standard
gage railway or by ship to some place adjacent to the field of opera
tons, whence it was customary to lay a light military railroad or devise
other special means for transporting the batteries to the locations
assigned to them. Before the mortars could be erected and placed in
working order, it was necessary to provide heavy masonry foundations,
of sufficient area and mass to withstand the heavy shock of recol. 1t
can readily be understood that this preliminary work entaIed the loss
OF much valuable time.
This was the method employed by the Japanese in the reduction of
Port Arthur. These enterprisng people were the first to employ II
inch siege guns for the reduction of permanent Notifications. They dis
nanted a large number of their coast defense mortars in Japan; trans
ported them by sea to the port of Dany, laid a light military railroad
from Dalny to the base of the hills encircEng Port Arthur; built heavy
concrete foundations; and erected upon them the mortars and their gun
carriages. 1t was these siege pieces which assisted in the sinking of the
Russian ships in Port Arthur, and contributed very largely to the re
duction of the forts which crowned the hills around that city.

The Safety First Movement

The Safety First Movement, which is being urged throughout the
mining industry by the United States bureau of mines, is making itself
felt in the metal mines of the country in a decreasing death rate among
.thd miners. The bureau has just issued its report on the number of
deaths in the metal mines for the year 1913, showing 6S3 men killed
among I93oSS employed, a death rate per 1000 of 3.54. This COM
pares with a deah rate of 30I for the year 1919 and 4Io for the year
1911. AS indicating the progress that is being made, the bureau of
mines makes the statement that, if the 1911 death rate had prevailed i'll
1915, the number Of killed would have been 500 instead of 6S3. This
means a saving of I26 lives for the year.
"A number of the states show a slight increase in death rates
but a majority of the principal mining states show marked decreases
says Albert H. Pay, the bureau engineer who compiled the statistics
THE important mining states showing a continuous reduction Of fataF-
ty rates during 1911, 1912 and 1913 are Idaho, Michigan, Montana,
Nevada, New Jersey, South Dakota and Utah, representing, in 1913
SO per cent of the mining industry.
This gradual reduction is to be accounted for largely by the intro
ducion of safety appliances, better supervision and a more strict en-
forcement of rules and regulations of the mining companies, and a
closer observance of the state laws. Practically all of the larger COM
panes. and many Of the smaller ones, have done much in safeguarding
their employees. They have inaugurated the Safety First movement
with the result have just mentioned. By frst-aid treatment many
slight injuries have been cared for, pain relieved. and a IRE effected in
| a short time, 81 that many of these injuries have been of short duration
and kept out of the serious injury or fatality class"
