 Incidentally the dispatch of war fleets to Mexican waters brought up a discussion of possi biities in emergen- ces Mir. Wilson held that while no one doubted the right of the executive to take immediate steps, such as the land ing of marines, or Pacific blockade, or even the bombardment of a coast town, it would be more natural while Con gress was in session for the President to work in close cooperation with tlic Legislative branch of the government, whether he had authority or not to take aggressive steps.
 Discussion Stops
 Discussion of all these measures ended in official circles when it became known that the Huerta government had yielded. They attracted attention, however, as pointing to the inclination of the admin isiration to be aggressive in future deal irss with the Mexican authorities.
 "Advices from Tampico." said a state- rient from the state department, 'are to the effect that the warehouses of the Agencia Comercial, which were destroyed in the late attack on Tampico were the property of the MeXicas government.

 Senor Riano, the Spanish amba ssador, wiio was among Secretary Bryan's callers today. again pressed claims for the re- di ess of the 700 Spanish subjects expelled by General Villa from Torreon. He had been informed by Secretary Bryan of General Carranza's decision to act on rep- resentations made by the United States in behalf of foreigners in Mexico. But the Madrid government is not satisfied merely with a promise that future claims Of Spanish subjects may be made through the United States It wants safe return for the Spanish exiles now at Fl Paso to their former homes in Torreon. Mr. Bry- an is continuing negotiations with Gen eral Carranza regardins arrangements for the return of all the ex.les not held guilty of being active supporters of the Huerta government
 John Lind took an active part in the days developments, being in frequent con srltation with Secretary Bryan.

years ago.
The first carving OF this race was found
beneath the streets Of Brunn, in Austria. A
human skeleton was found lying close to the
bones of the rhinoceros and the mammoth,
surrounded by a number Of ornaments,
strange little disks of bone and stone. Near
them was a little carved ivory figure Of man

His First Play-Magical Rites by
Hunters Disguised as Chamois.

The first human house builders belong ID
the Cro-Magnon race. The earliest houses
were tents, but they gradually increased In
solidity until they became real houses. In
che Winter they lived In their caves, but
through the warmer season they found it
more comfortable to occupy tents. Strange
little structures are crudely represented on
the bodies Of horses, mammoths and bisons
In Combarelles and Font de Gaume, two
famous caverns containing relics of this age.
There seems to be no doubt that these struc.
lures are tents. The supporting walls were
. probably given by the hides OF various ami
mails after the manner Of tent construction
still in vogue among Eskimos and American
Indians.
The first dagger was made by the men of
the Cro-Magnon race. A dagger made from
reindeer horn was found among the remains
Of these people in the cave Of Laugerie
Basse It Is about fifteen inches long, and
the handle is skfully carved in the form of
a reindeer.
The first actors also belonged to the Gro
Magnon race. Very curious pictures have
been found In the cave called Abri de Mazil
showing men of this age dressed up as ami
mails. According to Professor Verworn and
other authorities these curious animal men
are hunters who dressed themselves In cha
mois SKINS when stalking some quarry In the
long jungle grass. Hunting, Of course, had
been an occupation of man from the first but
novel one, and the animal men were in a
sense the first actors. 1t Is probable that in
addition to using their costumes to deceive
the animals they gave exhibitions to amuse
their fellow men
Ine Bushmen Of South Africa until very
recently drew hunters dressed up in similar
manner, and their drawings bear a striking
resemblance to those of prehistoric man
Inc Bushman race is an extremely low one in
civilized sense. and we are impressed with
the fact that high artistic talent and total
absence OF civilization can go hand in hand
Above the sterile layer we meet with the
very superior stone implements Of the Neo-
lith1c or New Stone" people. Tools and
weapons now have well ground edge, but
the artistic productions which mark the end
OF the Ice age are missing. The artistic cul-
ture seems to have vanished from Europe
with the retreat Of the Ice, and the few draw
ings which were executed In the early
Neolithic period which followed the Adam
and Eve period are utterly crude and un-
skillful This Is a mystery which has not
yet been dspelled
Does 1t mean that the Neolithic people
were descended from different pre-human
stock, from the Palaeolithic men?

bands and have accepted the invita-
tiOns.
Since President Poincare was elect
ed he has been the guest Of King
George In London and King Alfonso
In Madrid and in each case Madame
Poincare was not invited.
1t Is we'll understood In Europe
that Madame Poincare wished TO 20
on these visits and that she is still
striving to obtain recognition from
the foreign courts. She considers
that such social recognition Is due
to the dignity Of her position and Of
the French people who elected her
husband TO be head OF the nation.
President Poincare's visit to Lon.
don was very popular affair, when
the British working classes hailed
with Joy the alliance with the neigh
boring French democracy Madame
Poincare would have been the most
popular figure in the celebration.
The French nobility, who still form
the predominant, element In French
fashionable society, have helped 20
inJure Madame Poincare's position
abroad by sneering at her origin Her
name was Henrietta Benucci and she
was formerly an italian actress. Her
enemies also criticize her because
she was divorced from her first hus-
band. Her divorce was entirely free

from discredit to her, which CANNOT
be said Of all the divorces obtained
by fashiona BILE women. She was un-
happily married to man who was
entirely unworthy Of her. Raymond
Poincarc, then q middle-aged leader
OF the bar, fell In love with her and
they were married as soon as she was
able to obtain a divorce.
Madame Poincare is very beautI-
full woman, much younger than her
husband. with very refined, SYM
pathetic and intellectual face. In
charm aud distinction of appearance
she would overshadow any Of the
Queens of Europe. which may be ong
reason why she Is not welcomed au
court.
The French nobility, who have usu-
ally boycottcd the wife Of the Presi.
dent, have shown some social court
esies to Madame Poincare. The Ouch
ess de Rohan and the Countess de
Nun are among the prominent royal
ist women who have attended the re-
ceptions OF the Presidents wife.
They have given her no assistance

a N astonishing situation has
~ arisen, which illustrates the
fundamental snobbery of roy.
atty and It's contempt for human
rights.
The wire of Frances President
Madame Raymond Poincare, is the
most beautiful and charming woman
who has ever filled this position and
yet European royalty will not re-
ceive her. even when 1t receives her
husband.
1t accords with the selfish objects
OF many European monarchies to
make terms with France. The kings
are then forced to hold personal re-
lations with Frances President, but
they refuse to extend any social
csurtesies to his wife.
The omission Is the more marked
because several foreign kings with
their wives have been invited to
France and have been lavishly en-
tertained. In return the kings have
invited the President, but without
his wife.
