kaleidoscope CHANGES ARE FEATURE
OF AMER|CAN-MEX|CAN SITUATION At
NIAGARA FALLS PEACE CONFERENCE
MEDIATORS BELIEVE THAT CARRANzA is THRILLING
PROTOCOL READY IN WEEK
Rumors That General Funston Is Alarm
cd Concerning Movement of Mexican
Troops Reported to be Unfounded.
BY John Edwin Nevin.

Washington, June 12.-That an Am.
erican- Mexican protocol would be ready
for signature by the middle of next
week was predicted today by Washing
ton administration officials.
They said, too, that they believed
General Carranza would be party to

vitation, decided to treat the matter of
rebel representation at the negotiations
as ga closed incident" 4"
1t appeared, however, that the delay
was due to just what the mediators
previously attributed it tO-interrup
tion of the wires by which Carranzo
and his advisers in Washington were
trying to communicate with one an
other.
1t was understood Carranza would
name as his representatives Mexican'
already in the United States.
An announcement by the mediator'
that future conferences would be helC
with the American and Mexican envoy'
both present was taken as meaning Sc
much progress had been made that mat
ters would be facilitated by an oppor
tunity for face to face exchanges Of
views. The development was consider
ed highly significant.
Secretary of State Bryan instructed
Special Agent George Carothers of the
state department to go to Saltillo, thai
the administration might be in con
slant touch with Ca~vanza.
Government officials denied reports
that General Funston was alarmed BY
Mexican troops movements in the vi
cinity of Vera Grub On the contrary
it was stated, it was not believed tn,
Mexicans planned any movemen
against the American positions.
Secretary Of War Garrison proved hi
adherence to this view by leaving on
short vacation.

Army and Navy Bill Not Re-
ceived Enthusiastically
by the Socialists
RETIREMENT CREATES
EXTREME SITUATION
Russia's Wishes Regarding
Three-year Army Service
Utterly Disregarded

Paris, June 12.-Premier Ribot and
his newly formed cabinet resigned to-
day.
His retirement created an extraordi-
nary situation in French politics. Pre-
mier Doumergue resigned because he
lacked majority in the chamber un-
less he had socialist support, and the
socialists made legislative demands on
him which he would not grant.
President Poincare offered the post
to Felix Viviani. Viviani accepted,
then found he could not form cabi-
net, and withdrew. his acceptance. In
turn the president rendered the pre-
miership to Theophile Delcasse and
Paul Deschanel. Both declined.
The new ministers were cheered en-
Enthusiastically when they entered the
chamber, but the welcome the lawma-
kers gave them proved to be only per-
functory.
Minister of Finance Peytral made
the minister's initial talk to the depu-
ties. One of his first acts, he said,
would be to ask the chambers author
ization of a $lS0,000,000 315 per cent
loan, payable in 25 years, for extraor-
dinary army and navy requirements,
and especially for campaign in Mo
rocco.
The chamber, in which there was a
strong socialist and anti-militarist ele-
ment, listened glumly to this address.
Premier Ribot followed the finance
minister. The keynote of his speech
was support of the three-year army ser
vice bill. AS soon as he had finished
his followers moved vote of conf.
dence in his administration. The ma
| jority was against him. This left him
no option but to resign.
RibOt took office only this week. He
completed his cabinet Wednesday and
appeared with his colleagues in the
chamber of deputies today for the first
time. The vote which overthrow him
was also the first following his eleva
tion to the premiership.
Ribot, having been so promptly over
turned, seemed almost at the end of his
resources. How he would escape from
the dialemma nobody could imagine.
To make matters worse, Russia, the
close ally of England and France, ha!
strongly represented to the latter coun
try the desirability of the French three
year army service bill if the alliance
is not to be weakened. Today's vote
which unquestionably hinges on thi
BILL was in total disregard of Russia /
wishes.

PREHISTORIC SKULL FOUND
BONES WERE IN ASPHALT SINK.
Remains Believed to Belong to Hu-
man Who Lived Some 10000 Years
Ago-Head Smaller Than Moderns.

Los Angeles, Cal, June l2.-The
skull of a prehistoric human, found in
the asphalt sink at LaBrea, has been
fixed today by Professor j. G. Merriam
of the University of California as be-
longing to an age 10000 years ago;
He gave the opinion that the skull
two femurs and quantity Of other
bones discovered were those of a wo-
man.
The brain case, Merriam explained,
is only slightly smaller than that OF
tbe present day human. A high fore
head denoted fair intellectual devel-
opment. The skull was about an inch
smaller in all proportions than the nor
NAL human skull.

nized as belonging to the same ancient

Be Massacred by the

PROTEST Is SENT
TO CONSTANTINOPLE
Believed That a Declaration

the Summer Is Over

London, June 12.-Turkish troops to-
day were attacking Aivalik, an Asia
Minor coast town with Greek popul-
alton of about $4,000, according to dis
patch from Mitylene, and it was fear
ed the Greeks would be massacred
At the same time an Athens message
said the Greek government had sent
to Constantinople strong protest
against the mistreatment of Greeks in
Turkey, together with indemnity to
those already alleged to have suffered
at the Turks hands.
Premier Venizelos, of Greece, at the
same time made a speech in parliament,
warning Turkey against its present
Greek policy in terms which fell little
short of declaration of nostiltes.
Constantinople, June 12.-Comment.
ing on the London Times assertion
that conditions in the Balkans are be-
coming acute again and its prediction
that another war between Turkey and
Greece is near, Turks in close touch
with the government here said today
that it would not surprise them if hos.
tilities should break out before the enc
of the summer.
Enver Bey, it was stated, unquestion'
ably was given the war ministry a few
months ago with view TO re-organiz.
ing the army thoroughly, and with the
help of the occidental military experts
he has employed, it was said he is
rapidly bringing it to point of higl
efficiency.
The feeling here was that in its mex
fight Turkey would give far better
account of itself than in the last Balkan
struggle.

If the strap is left loose. the books

of one book between the cover and fly
