Mr.. Buwaldas attention. The old
story Of Ncamels In the great basin
has justification at last. for here cam
els were found, swallowed up in the
shore sands OF "Manix lake"
Since the last wild camel In the
United States is believed to have gone
before the glacial period set in. this
Mojave desert lake may well have
dried up before the ice age. AS 4 vast
stretch Of time has elapsed since then.
the Salt Lake railway was able to
build across the lake bed without
knowing that Manix lake once was
there. This ancient lake was twenty
to forty miles east of what Is now
Barstow. stretching from Kouns to At
ton. and from near Hector and Troy
on the Santa Fee northward for twen-
ty-five miles Many changes In eli
mate have evidently come about In
the Mojave desert since the days when
the wild horse, the antelope anu the
mastodon frequented Manix lake or
left their bones on its shores, to be
dug up by this University Of Califor-
mia expedition.
Nowadays the Mojave desert dries
up early in It's course, or at best fills
only a tiny playa lake. But in the old
days the flow was ample to offset evap-
Grafton over two hundred miles OF
lake surface. to supply the outlet
stream. and to keep the lake fresh,
as proved by the fresh water mollusks
and fish found in the fossil heds. which
are a monument to the perished AXE.

Washington, April GA member OF

the administration was told by an
agent Of the American government who
spent many months in Mexico that
there was reason for this belief.

utes' debate and little opposition, the
House adopted the Senate substitute for
tho Flood resolution pustifying the Presi-
dent IN using the armed forces in Mexico.
The resolution was signed at l2:o2 p. M
by Speaker Clark and was sent imme-
diatelv 10 the Senate for signature by the
Vice-President and then TO the Whte
House.
Later the House appropriated, by anani-
nous vote. 100000 "for the relief of Amer
lean citizens in Mexico, including trans
portation 20 their homes in the Uhlted
States" President Wilson sent to Con-
gress a brief message asking this appro-
nriation TO be expended under the direc-
ton of the President As soon as the
message was read Chairman Fitzgerald
of the Appropriations Committee obtained
unanimous consent TO consider, without
reference to the committee, a bill making
available the amount desired. There was
no debate.
When the Senate resolution came over
shortly after 10 o'clock, Representative
Flood urged the House to stand solidly
behind the President, asserting that 1T Is
no time to bubble over words; in sub
stance. he said, the Senate resolution was
the same as that which passed the House
Mr.. Mann, the minority leader asked
time 20 discuss the measure, but MI.

Mann was yielded five minutes. and en-
tered a final protest against the adoption
of the war resolution" No attempt
was made to get a rollcall, and only a

ton was put.
Mr.. Mann said the minority had borne

notwithstanding their disapproval Of the

added, because we want to avoid a war
out Of which can come no glory TO us or

dent / don't believe we should engage
in war at this time for the reasons out
lined by the President. This war can
bring no glory TO us. The concluding
sentence of the resolution says this act
