indian Relics ARE
FOUND IN new jersey
Traces of Very Ancient
Tribe Unearthed Near
MOoreStown
SPECIMENS UNLIKE
PRIOR DISCOVERIES

Relics OF an ancient and hitherto
unknown race of Indians have been
unearthed near Moorestown, n. j., by
an expedition headed by George l..
Harrison, Jr, a director OF the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Museum and
well-known as a big-game hunter and
ethnologist.
The discoveries we're made by acci-
dent in a mound on the bank Of
tributary OF the Rancocas river, and
the relics Indicate an Indian race far
antedating the Lenape or Delaware
Indians. who roamed over this vicin-
ity at the time OF the advent Of the
first white man.
The first indication Of the find was
when some worlSmen dug into the
mound for building sand. Unexpected
discoveries followed Mr., Harrison's
exploration of the mound. The usual
arrowheads and stone hammers, such
as are found all over this section, and
which we're used by the Lenapes,
we're unearthed near the surface. Two
or three feet beneath the surface the
expedition came upon some blades
and arrowheads OF traprock, roughly
hewn. and also some other specimens
OF finer workmanship, but different
from those found near the surface.
-Four feet down were found remains OF
a new culture, and these relics are very
different from anything ever discovered
before in New Jersey and nearby terri
tory A large fireplace was uncovered,
and near IL many blades, hammers, ar.
rowheads and various stone utensils OF
very different type from any previously
found in this section. The belief is that
the spot was ceremonial meeting place
Of q race of Indians.
Geologists are making a study Of the
mould. and whether it is artificial or the
result Of nature will be n point made
clear in their report. The new specimens
were all found beneath, in and on the
original glacial sand, and scientists say
that ii the mound Is the result OF natu-
raj forces it must have taken n long
time to reach its present proportions.
Tho relics have been deposited at the
University Museum. and ethnologists are
cndeavoring TO solve the problem of the
race that made them. In some respects
the relics resemble those Of the Indian
mound builders of Ohio.
Scientists consider IL remarkable that
IN the Rancooas deposit there we're found
no pipes and no trace OF pottery, al
though pottery was in use by the INDIAN
hundreds Of years ago.
; The discovery is considered one o
| great Importance. rs bearing on IN
| question Of the migration II ancient In

COLORS FLY TOGETHER
DR.. Leonhardi at German
Day Celebration Says War
is National Punishment
MR.. Won BOSSE SEES
VICTORY FOR KAISER

German Day was observed in Zion
Lutheran Church yesterday by the
Rev. S. G. Won Bosse. All of the local
German societies were represented by
large delegations. American, as well
as German banners, were in evidence
in the decorations of the interior of
the church.
A splendid musical program was
given by the Delaware Saengerbund,
the church choir and a childrens
chorus of 20 voices. A pretty program
'of the services was distributed.
The Rev. Alexander Leonhardi, of
Railway, n. j., was the principal
speaker and delivered an eloquent
sermon. He based his text on John
A, 80, and developed three chief
points; first describing the work Of
the Germans have done In all coun.
tries of the globe; secondly, depicting
the causes for every war and this
present war in particular, and finally
pointing out the harvest above. The
speaker made the assertion that war
is punishment for nations, being
used by God as a scourge He could
see nothing ungodly in war itself,
but rather a trial of faith. which. he
said. the Father above allowed. He
spoke of the strong, sane religion of
the German race. advocating that
the German-Americans should remain
true to this religion and live and
teach it.
At the evening service, which
was in English, the Rev. S. G.. Won
Bosse spoke to a large congregation
on the question of the day. He main
tained that Germany was waging a
righteous war, that she has been sig
nally blessed in her battles and that
she would triumph over all odds. he
called upon all present TO insist upor
their loyalty to America. but also tC
prove worthy of the fathers by honor
ing their memory, their religion, theil
ideals and their messages. The speak
er stated that it was his belief that
the Germans had done more than any
other race for this country, giving
their life-blood for it's welfare anC
offering as much as they had receiv
ed. He concluded with an appeal tC
make their influence felt in every di
rection as true Christian citizens o
the great nation they are living in.
The public celebration of German
Day will be continued at Turn Hall
tonight with DR.. R. D. Jones Of Wales
England, and Henry Liertz. of Phila
ldelphia as speakers.
