SQUIRRELS DIG UP FOSSILS.
Little Diggers Reveal Ancient Indian
Graveyard.

-SHo 0'99erS reveal Ancient Indian
Graveyard.
Santa Monica, GAIA peculiar dis
covery has been made of a fossil bed
up the coast at the mouth of Topanga
canyon. Some years ago a man living
there unearthed some excellent speci-
mems Of fossils and supposed Indian
bones. Recently large heap of black
dirt was noticed at the edge of the
beach, and upon Investigation it proved
to be the burrow Of a family of souri,
rels.
The little diggers had piled up on the
surface of the sandy soil perhaps $50
pounds of black sand; in which were
pieces Of clam shells, fossils and bits
Of human bone. There were even rocks
weighing close to two pounds. The
dirt was just as it had been dumped
by the animals, and bones and fossils
were mixed together with the rocks
and sand. The bones have been iden-
titled as those of human beings, sew
eral specimens showing conclusively
that they at one time had constituted
the framework Of a stalwart Indian
brave.
Theories have been advanced by men
Interested in osteology, but no definite
conclusions have been reached. They
think that the bones are those Of In
dams, but that they are hundreds of
years old. The squirrels must have
burrowed many feet, or else the beach
In the years past was nearer to the
mountains than it is at present.
That is natural, for the change Is
made by the yearly washing Of guam
titles of sand and rocks from the inte-
rior down to the mouth Of the canyon.
The old burying ground is now prob
ably many feet below the surface, and
only the busy little ground squirrels
know the exact location Of the rest Of
the bones.

from $500 cubic meters capacity to
more than 10000 cubic meters.
When the Italo-Turkish war began

~ the ally of Austria and Germany. If
she had followed her arrangement
with them she would have gone into
the war on their side. It was from
the very beginning apparent that she
would not do that. Both sides were
exerting every influence to enlist her,
and it was therefore inexpedient for
either belligerent to intrust it's diplo-
matte concerns to her.
Thus the United States from the be-
ginning was indicated as the central
Office Of diplomacy.
1t would be we'll nigh impossible to
catalogue the duties that fall to the
diplomatic agents of the mutually
friendly power which takes over this
set Of relations when war breaks out.
In England, for instance, there was a
large population Of Germans and Aus
TRANS. Some were naturalized; some
were not. Many of both classes were
property owners. Some were anxious
to get out Of the country; others were
just as anxious that they should not be
forced out Of it. American agents had
to look after their interests.
When the war got fairly under way
camps for prisoners Of war began to
be established In all the warning corn-
tries. Complaints came from these, and
American diplomats had to look after
the interests Of British and French and
Russian prisoners in Germany and Aus
tria and vice versa. Commissions have
been sent to supplement the efforts of
the regular diplomatic establishment in
this regard.
Not the least difficult services re-
CURED of the American consuls and
diplomats have been in connection
with the colonial internments of bel
igerents. Thus there have been es-
tablished in India, in Canada and in
Australia special camps for taking
care Of citizens Of enemy countries.
Many hundreds Of men are held in
the big mternment ablishments,
while their families have required at
tention elsewhere because they have
not been formally interned, but left
largely to shift for themselves. These
cases have created set of problems,
not new to diplomacy, Nut never 80
large as In the present war.

Entrance Of Italy Imposes Huge New
Burden on All Our Embassies-BeI-

Observation-Disclosures Italy in the war,
the United States comes near to being
the diplomatic clearing house Of the
whole world.
If the United States should 20 into
the war the diplomacy Of the world
would be near the point of blowing up.
Austrian diplomatic and consular af-
fairs have been turned over in Italy to
the American officials.
This will be one more big burden
shouldered off on the overworked
American agents in several countries.
Already Americans are handling these
affairs for warning powers all around
the world.
The addition of the complicated con-
Germs Of Germany, Italy and Austria
will necessitate special provision of
more personnel and further drafts on
this country's resources of people
trained for this kind of service.
Until now Italy and the United
States have been the only first class
powers not involved in the war. In or
binary circumstances the Italians would
have been asked to divide with the
Americans the duty Of playing first
friend to the warning nations.
But in the present instance it was
impossible because Italy was nominal

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO
HELP DEVELOP PARK
Municipal League Will Make
Plans For Beginning Work

The Municipal League of Steelton
will meet this evening to set a date
for the formal commencement of
the development of the Luther II. Kel-
ker park. Final details of plan to
have all the school children of the
borough cooperate in the Wrk will
be discussed.
Owing to the inability of Warren
II. Manning, the landscape architect,
who is drawing plans for the park
|driveways and walks, to Complete his
work, the plans will not be submitted
to the league this evening Mr.. Man
ming has been delays in his work
and according to Charles r. Holton,
secretary OF the league, he will not
likely have the plans completed in
time for next weeks council meeting.
The Municipal League, however, will
set a date this evening for beginning
the park development. 1t is likely
that this date will be late enough to
ALLOW a completion of Mr. Manning S
plans and their approval by council
The Luther II. Kellcr park is u
tract of nearly ten acres just east of
the borough and was presented to the
borough by Mr. Kell(er several years
ago. Mr.. Mannings plan will be so
drawn that eventually the kelker
park and tract of land near the res
ervoir may both be joined by drives
and this parkway connected with Ilar-
risburgs park system by driveway
near the poorhouse lane.
