dunn to long, white and generally
turning outward.
This breed represents the type that
Ia suitable for the largest production
of beef as it is low set and broad,
heavy in forequarters; full, deep
chest, level wide back, wide thick
loin and quarters. The form repre-
sents that which is associated with a
strong constitution, vigor and pre-
potency, and one of the strong points
of the breed is its grazing attributes.
The Hereford probably has no super
Tor on the range. The cows OF this
breed give only milk enough to raise
a very thrifty calf.

In recent years many anatomists

sculptor, withxtheArequest that he re-
construct the fleshy parts of the face
and head according to the data pub
lished by Professor Won Eggeling of
the University of Jena. Professor
Poynter did not tell the artist that

pre-C Columbian date; and one was that
OF a modern Indian. The photographs
OF the artists work show in all three
cases the characteristic face OF the
American Indian. Whatever the age
of the Nebraska skull may prove to
be, its owner was undoubtedly a man
of the indian type.

WASHINGTON WANTS FACTS
Serious Question Involved. With Ans
tria II Americans Went Down
on Italian Ship Ancona.

Washington.-Th state department
Is anxiously awaiting the arrival of af.
fidavits from the American survivor Is
OF the Ancona, for information as to
the circumstances of the attack on
the vessel. These affidayits are e-x
pected hourly from United States Con-
sui Young in Tunis. numbers Of the
survivors having landed along the Tu.
nisian coast.
In the meantime the state depart
ment is making extraordinary efforts
to obtain information from other
sources. Ambassador Thomas Nelson
Page in Rome and the American con-
sui in Naples were requested to send
all available facts. Other measures
were also taken to insure to this gov
ernment the widest possible informa-
tion on the case
Whatever in the way of proof con-
cerning the manner in which the An
coma met her fate has arrived at the
state department will be submitted to
the cabinet when it meets. Secretary
of State Lansing expects to have suf-
ffcient information then to enable him
to outline at least in a general way
the real facts of the case, which is re-
garded as fraught with grave posi-
bilities.
Even If 1t is proved that the actual
facts of the sinking of the Ancona
agree with the press reports that the
vessel tried to escape, contrary 10
recognized rules of international law,
state department officials say serious
questions will still be involved.
The following are some of the ques.
tions which the officials of this gov
ernment expect to ask in determining
the course of action of the United
States.
Was the submarine an Austrian ves-
sell or was it in fact a German sub
marine flying the Austrian flag?
Has a German submarine the right
to fly the flag of its ally--Austria-
and commit an act which Germany has
assured the United States would not
be permitted?
Did the submarine shell the crew
and passengers after the vessel stop
ped. as claimed unofficially?
: Was the Ancona armed and capable
OF destroying the submarine?
Has Austria regarded as binding the
agreements between Germany and the
United States as to the limitations and
obligations on submarine warfare?

Central Powers Make Protest to
Greece On Landing Of Allies at
Saioniki--itaiy Sends
Warships.

London.-The Servians are falling
back from mountain range to noun.
tain range before the Austro-Germans.
whose official reports enumerate the
capture of thousand or more prison
ers daily, few guns and quantities OF
stores. The Servians, however, are
inflicting considerable loss on their
pursuers.
Along the eastern front the Serv-
fans appear to be holding their own
against the Bulgarians and are max
ing a stand on the western bank of
the Morava River. Their resistance
has been so stubborn the Bulgarians
have had to call for assistance from
the Austro-German artillery in their
effort to drive the defenders out of
Katchanik Pass. Thus far they have
beens unsuccessful.
The British and French troops,
which are receiving re-enforcements.
are meeting with some success, and
besides repulsing Bulgarian attacks,
have undertaken small offensives with
good results. The Austro-Germans
and Bulgarians, however, made such
progress from the beginning of the
campaign that it will take serious
work now to check them.
For the moment the political situa-
tion is graver than the military. The
central powers again have protested
to Greece against the landing of al
lied trops at Saloniki, King Constan-
tine Is reported to have replied that
as Saioniki is an open port there has
been no infringement of Greek rights
In the landing and that Greece will
remain neutral until one of the bellig-
erents has transgressed against those
rights. France and Italy, who has
joined her allies by sending warship
to Saloniki, are particularly anxious
as to the attitude of f'Greece.
