MITCHELL, PLAYER
WITHOUT A TEAM
New York Has Refused To Take
Mike Even AS Gift From
Griffith

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Mike
Mitchell, the outhelder whom Man
ager Griffith presented 10 the Yankees
few weeks ago, has been returned
by Farrell with thanks, Griffith did
not have a place for Mitchell, but
preferred TO give him away to the
Yanks rather than send him to the
minors, where his salary would have
been badly bent. Being sunfielder
of great ability and a strong hitter, II
was figured that Mike would make a
good man for New York, but Farrell
couldn't see 1t that way Now that
Bill Donovan is in the saddle, how
ever, the dope here has IL that II
.Griffith does not take Farrelps action
seriously, Rupert and Huston will

with misfits. and he may find in Mike

ENGLISH PRINCESS
CAUGHT IN SPY NET
Sister of Prince of Wales Held in
France for Four Hours, Fac
ing Possible Execution.

London, Aug. 8.-A member of The
British royal family. thanks to the effi-
cient espionage net of the Allies at the
front. has been arrested charged with
Icing a German spy. For four hours
Princess Mary was held under guard,
while officers. sympathetic but skepti-
cal, investigated her claims to royal
privileges.
Having gone on an incognitO visit TO
the hospitals at the front, Princess
Mary. accompanied by Mile. Dussau.
started to meet ner brother. the Prince
of Wales. at the British headquarters.
When about six miles from the village
where the staff was located her ear was
halted by a French patrol. Unlucki'y,
the occupants had forgotten their pass
ports and permission papers, nor did
the patrol recognize royalty IN the
name of Lady Chester. which Princess
Mary gave.
Leaving the car with its occupants
under the guard of two French sol
diers. and with the assurance that they
would be shot at 6 o'clock in the even
ing, the corporal went in search of the
officer in command of the outpost Not
until four hours later did the officer
return. The identity of the prisoners
was then established by messages TO
the British headquarters. which was
on the point of issuing a general alarm
for the missing princess.

Philadelphia, Aug. 8.-Eve did not
eat the apple. Neither did she bring
about the fall of man by giving Adam
Of the fruit. Rather it was Noah who
first brought the wrath of God on the
human race. Because he ate of the for
hidden bark of the cassia tree in the
Garden of Paradise the curse fell on
him and all his descendants.
So much has been revealed by tab
let written before the days Of Ahra-
ham. a thousand years older than the
Book of Genesis itself, which now lies
in the University Museum of Phila-
delphia. and which has been translat-
ed by Dr.. Steven Langdon, professor
of Assyriology in oxford University
England.
Some slight hint of this was given
more than year ago, when Dr.. Lang
don announced that he had partly com
nleted the translation Of the tablet
Since then he has been comparing II
with every known tablet or historical
account of any kind, as well as tn
that given in the Book Of Genesis. Dr'
Langdon says that the tablet is prob
ABLY the oldest record in existence IL
was written possibly 5000 years ago ~,
and evidently records tradition when
goes back to the early history OF man.
The Babylonian and Sumerian accounts
place the food at about 35,OOO b. C''
and the lapse of time between the ere
alton and the food is filed by zen
kings, who reigned altogether 432'Ooo
wears. an average Of 43,2OO years eacn;
The reason that later kings relgnred
comparatively short periods IS that
Noah sinned in eating Of the caSsla
tree. He and all his descendants were
punished by early deaths. instead OF
being allowed to live the 10000 years
which before that was the allotted span
OF life.

the Bible. Enki, the water god, and
his consort, Ninella, ruled over man
kind in Paradise, which is here called
Dilmun, and which was located on the
east coast of the Arabian Gulf, about
100 miles from the mouth of the IL
s-Euphrates River system. Here
from the creation to the food men
lived in a state Of innocence. II is
specifically stated that there was TO
headache and no disease Of the eye.
The beasts did not harm men. Every
thing was complete happiness.
For some reason, however, man dis
pleased the gods, who decided to over
whelm them with the food. Then 1t
was that Nintu. the goddess who had
created men out of clay, by her craft
managed TO save the king, who is here
called Tagtug, which is an equivalent,
according to DR.. Langdon, Of the Su-
merian Nuuh. or our Noah. She pre-
pared a ship for the king and his com
panions during the food, which lasted
nine months.
After the food Nintu introduced
Tagtug, or Noah, to the god Enki who
made him a gardener and instructed
him in all plants, ordering him only
not to eat of the cassia. But Moan
was tempted and ate of the cassia, and
the curse Of bodily weakness and early
death fell on him and all his descend
ants.
According to the tablets in the Uni
versity Museum deciphered by Dr.
Poebel, none of this Noah's successors
ruled more than normal number OF
years.
1t appears that after Noah sinned
he had all sorts of diseases and lis
couragements. The gods finally took
pity on him and sent eight divine pa
irons to teach him the arts and give
him medicines.
Biblical Stories of Several Sources.
DR.. Langdon looks on the narratives
in the Bible concerning the creation,

days of Abraham to be another prod

trines." He considers the Biblical

Lustig had served several terms for

LAPLAND, WARNED,

German U-Boats Near Coast
Here Was Wireless Message,
Passengers Declare.

Early-rising passengers on the Red
Star liner Lapland declared yesterday
when the vessel docked that she had
been pursuing a zigzag course from
dawn until she had passed Fire Island.
The travellers were familiar with the
zigZag movements, they said. as they
had observed them while the vessel
steamed through the Irish Sea on her
way out of Liverpool.
IL was rumored that a wireless mes
sage had been received by Captain
Bradshaw, calling attention to the pos
sibility of the proximity Of German
submarines from a rumo-ed base OF
the Maine coast.
The skipper and his officers called
the reports ridiculous, and maintained
that the vessels course had not been
varied
