SAYS MAN WAS
FIRST A SIMIAN.

Primitive man, who lived from So
900 to 100000 years ago, hunted and
was hunted by mammoths, extlnc..
types OF lions and tigers and ele-
plants that then had their habitat in
Central Europe; whose brow bulged
as does that of the ape. who was
chinless and possessed of intelligence
little removed from that Of other ami
mails, was the subject OF discussion
IN Baltimore a few nights ago by
Dr.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the Di-
vision of Physical Anthropology of
the United States National Museum.
The object of the lecture and the
views was to give Endorsement and
substantiation to the theory that
man originated from the smian
monkey stock. Dr.. Hrdlicka declar-
ed that the process OF evolution which
had brought man from the lower
animal kingdom to his present status
of intellectual and physical supre-
macy was still going on, with espec-
tally marked rapidity among the
white OF more mighty developed
branches of the human race.
Mahomet somewhere in his Koran
tells us monkeys. apes, balloons, GO
rillas. ourang outangs, gibbons, chin
panzees, etc, were formerly men who
have been placed in their present
! shape for refusing to keep the Mos,
/ lem Sabbath friday.
Adam Clarke, the famous Metho
dist commentator, scratched his heat
when porting over the book of Gene
sis. and came to the conclusion tina
the Hebrew word translated ser
pent in the Scptuagint and Eng!isi
/ versions of the scriptures, was MAJ
ape or some other creature OF tn
simian variety.
! The attempt to make people bellev
that man has evolved from the lowe
orders of creation is as old as tn
, world. 1t is generally termed the Dan
;, winian theory, although Charles Da'
:s3v,n, never believed nor $pro3asa7
tieasit. Man has ever preferred toEoe

VIII Williams entry INTO Constantln-

ture? Undoubtedly not. It simply
signifies that Constantinople will be

many,s fighting potentially on the
Russian front a steady recovery
by the Cars troops of Russian
ground hitherto lost to German hosts.
The presence of the Kaiser in Turk
ey will represent an incident OF the
struggle only that-an incident OF
no striking Importance. Let Germany
take Paris, as she proudly claimed
she could and would-let Germany
take Petrograd, as she quite recently
attempted to do and failed-let Ger
many make good on her oft-repeated
boast that the terms of peace would
be written in London, with Germany
as England's conqueror-and then let
Mr.. Wilson know that his services as
mediator will be acceptable. AS 1t Is,
what has Germany taken? Belglum's
capital, and Serbia's capitalize two
events not big enough in real moment
to cause the Allies any profound and
lasting concern. Germany may be
facing an alarming food crisis, and
hence is eager to seize upon any ad-
vantageous moment to seek for peace,
but the Allies will never consent, we
believe, until in a position to dictate
the terms upon which the war shall
cease.

ADVENT OF THE
FROST KING.

The armies now engaged in the
death struggle in Europe are also
fighting bleak winter. Dispatches from
the war zones tell OF suffering un-
herd of during the past half Gen.
fury.
Intensely cold weather is prevailing
all along the front in the eastern
theater of war, and already the NV
ers have begun to freeze up. Attempts
of the Austrians to use the ice on
the Styr River for fording purposes
resulted in annihilation of an entire
battalion. While the troops of the bat
talon were crossing the steam the
ice gave way and all were drowned.
The attention of the world is once
more directed to the unhappy condl-
lions of Poland, which it is feared is
about to be eliminated from the map
with the perishing of its population.
Most of the towns have been burned
and thousands of villages have been
RACED to the ground during the pres
.ent frightful struggle. For months
The people have suffered for lack OF
'ood. The famine is worse than any
experienced in medieval times. The
MANTLE mortality and disease, epid-
.emics surpass the imagination. People
ire burning the remnants of their un-
pawned furniture to e'arm themselves
this winter.
