PROTEST WAR CENSORSHIP.
Roman Press Is Vigorous in Its Denun
citation.

Rome, July 1.-THE Roman press has
joined vigorously in the chorus of protest
which is going up from every country in
active war, against the difficulties of the
censorship. Aside from the fact that
the censors are military men and unable
to judge matter from newspaper stand
point, embarrassment is caused because
there are several distinct bodies of cen
sors, some of whom allow certain news
TO pass, while others suppress il.
An effect of the censorship on Roman
papers is that the Milan journals are
finding great favor in the capital. The
reason is, the Milan censor is very lib
eral, and the Roman censor severe, the
consequence being that the Milan papers
are often the first TO bring news 10
Rome. The latest and most notable ex-
ample Of this is that of the popes inter
view with the correspondent of the Paris
Liberte. The Corriere Della Sera pub.
lished IL in full, while no Roman paper
was even allowed TO mention IL, but
when the Milan paper arrived in Rome,
the censorship on the interview was
finally lifted here.
The Roman papers do not object TO the
suppression Of military news, which
might even indirectly help Italy's enc
mics, but much is censored which is not
military news al all.
The newspapers here are also con-
fronted with the mystery Of the fact
that some foreign countries are allowed
to have Italian news two or three days
earlier than the Italians themselves
get IL.

TURKS DECLARED TO

They Are Going About Their Daily
Routines in constantinople AS If
Allies Were Thousands OF
Miles Away.

Constantinople, July 1.-THE city
has thoroughly accustomed itself to the
war and follows its pursuits as ii the
ailles We're as many thousands, as they
are hundreds, of kilometers away. Bus
mess has increased little and the sup
Ply Of carpets puts up for sale by needy
families has diminished which is in
terpreted as meaning that once more
money can be had from friends, or
loans from business acquaintance. Much
OF this money is spent in the open air
air cafes, but it is spent in the humble
plaster. Nightly without regard to
political inclinations, the people gather
in the cafes, sip coffee, and absorb
whiskey and sodas-if of triple enten-
te leanings-lsten to Indifferent music,
and generally enjoy life. The feel.
ing row is, let the allies take care Of
their business as best they can. Even
the Greeks and Armenians here who
formerly prayed secretly that the Eng
lish and French would force the Oar
danelles are now quite Indifferent
whether they do or not.
The Turk is getting away from him
self--ereeping out of his shell. The
war has brought to the mind of many
Turks that the separation of old was
not as desirable a thing as was be-
lieved. The Turk, so say many, is
coming in contact with the west by
being obliged to read the commentaries
from Berlin and Vienna. He has ac-
quired real interest in the fate of
two other political aggregates, and in
so doing he had widened his mental
horizon TO the extent of feeling that
his fate is not the only one over which |

Ground SLoth.

brought him to indentation of Last Hope
Inlet, called Consueo Cove. Here he found
hanging upon tree pieces OF skin, tough and
thick as leather, with about three inches of
reddish, coarse hair on the exterior side.
Closer inspection showed the inner surface TO
be studded with small bony patches, like those
often found with fossil remains OF mylodons,
a larger species of the ground soth. This skin
was studded SO thickly with the buttons of
bone as to make it veritable piece of armor.
DR.. Moreno being enthusiastic paleontol-
ogist and familiar with the monster sloths,
learned that the skin had been found by some
Argentine officers two years before, and that
they had carried away large portion of it,
leaving the remnant hanging on the tree
The natives declared that the skin was that
OF cow and Dr. Moreno found they believed
the bone buttons to be pebbles that had he
come imbedded in the skin. Further inveSti-
CATION led him to discover cave where the
Argentine officers had found the skin. AS his
time limited, Dr. Moreno contented him
self with conducting what appears TO be
rather superficial investigation that yielded him
nothing more of importance.
Soon afterward DR.. Nordenskiold, the famous
Norwegian naturalist, visited the place, and
picked up some claws and portions of skin.
These discoveries aroused such intense inter
est among naturalists that DR.. Rudolph Haul
thai the geologist Of the La Plata Museum, was
sent to make systematic search of the cave.
FIRST the stratum containing ashes and or
binary bones was removed, together with a
layer of leaves and llama bones Then the
searchers came upon bed three feet deep
composed, it is believed, Of dust and grypo
therium droppings Digging into this brought
to light several pieces of grypotherium hide,
large piece of hind leg bone from the animal,
two avis made from the leg bone Of a dog, and
finally the skull Of the cave man himself who
had kept the monster in captivity.
Further evidence of the domesticated nature
of the ground sloth was found when large
quantity Of cut hay was unearthed 1t was
plain to the searchers that a man had lived
there who had been OF sufficient skill and in
telligence to make rude implements Of bone
and had domesticated the grypotherium that
lived with him. search in another part Of
the cave brought to light the bones of an ex-
tinct species of horse as small as dog the
skeleton of a cat as big tiger. and of
dog as big as horse. There were also evil
dences that the man made fires in the cave.
1t has been accepted by scientists in conse-
quence Of this discovery that the only possible
reason for the stabling of the grypotherum in
the cave was to be found in the large guam
titles of milk furnished by the monster. It Is,
therefore, beyond dispute that the grypothe
rum was the cave mans COW, and probably OF
twenty times milk-producing power than the
priziest prize "bossy" Of our country fairs.

Science Shows

The wonderful relics of past age we're pre-
sented to Colonel Roosevelt during his trip OF
exploration in South America by the directors
OF the La Plata Museum, and were In turn
given by him to the New York Museum
The entire group of ground sloths recently
mounted and erected in the museum includes
not only the grypotherium, but several speci-
mems of the mylodon, a size larger than its
fellow and a wonderful skeleton of lestodon,
the next TO the largest species of ground sloth
that ever existed. There was but one other
sloth OF larger size than these known to
scientists as the megatherium, which exceeded
by at least twice the size OF the mammoth
DR.. Hauthal in telling Colonel Roosevelt of
the conditions under which the remains of the
grypotherium were found, revealed details
pointing TO a prehistoric tragedy surrounding
the man who lived in the cave with the anil
mails.
THE cave is about 800 feet above sea level"
ne said. "In the front part Of it Is mound
about thirty feet high. This is composed Of
congomeration of boulders that evidently fell
from the top of the at some time. About
100 feet behind this is a wall about twelve feet
high. dividing the cave into two parts. This
wall is also evidently formed of boulders that
fell from the caves roof.
From all appearances the grypotherium
was killed by one of these falling boulders, and
pieces of its skin show the marks OF instru-
ments like those we found. rs if the human
inhabitant of the cave had been cutting up the
animal when he, too, was probably killed by
the falling Of another boulder"
DR.. Rauthal also added that as one of tho
pieces of skin had been partly burned it was
reasonable to suppose that the cave man had
used the flesh OF the grypotherum for food,
Just as we eat our cows.
a later visit to the cave by Dr. Hauthal re-
vealed nothing more concerning the man or the
grypotherium but did reveal the skeleton of a
rat as big as ST. Bernard dog.
To the most unimaginative person the scene
that once existed In this Patagonan cave must
be plain. Here in the huge wild cave lived
Mr.. Stone-Hatchet, hairy, bewhiskered and ape
like. Over in one corner mupching on freshly
cut hay was his monster COW, the gigantic
grypotherium. while in another corner n tiny
horse kicked and reared as the family cat, as
big as tiger, chased rat as big as dog.
Calmly drinking bowlfu OF fresh milk
from the grypotherium the cave man sat by his
roaring fire, his main protection against the
gigantic monsters that might otherwise snap
him up in twinking Then there was sud
den crash. An immense boulder had felled his
beloved "bossy." but, being of necessity an
optimist, the cave man proceeded to cut 1t UP
for meat and lay plans to ensnare another
cow to take the place Of the dear departed.
But his slight spark Of intellect was not enough
to cause him to figure out the warning In he

I1z% Ground Sloth, Gaue Twenty
D Times the Milk of the Modern Co1v
to the Easy Going Primitive Patagonian

THE cave mans COW has come to New
York!
In the main hall of the Museum OF
Natural History, within two blocks of white
lighted Broadway, the 'bossy" of the stone age
that supplied milk to Mt. and Mrs. Stone
Ratchet and all the little IIatchets, is comfort
ably established in high. welghted hall on
a platform of mahogany, in vast contrast to
the cave OF stone and earthen floor OF its home
centuries ago. For the cave mans COW is in
the bone only, and its moo" or whatever its
pet call was has not been heard for some years.
The cave mans COW, in fact, was the 'grypo-
therum," the smallest and most modern of
the group OF extinct gigantic ground sloths
that once inhabited Patagonia and the southern
part OF South America.
The four known species Of gigantic ground
sloths were. beginning with the largest the
meGatherlum, inc iestodon, the mylodon and
the grypotherium
The remains of the grypotherium have been
presented to the museum by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, to whom they were given by his
hosts during his famous journey through South
America The museum already possessed
spec Mons OF the other giant ground soths,
an &c, together with the latest addition.
ma. e most interesting collection Of these
queer animals in existence.
Especial interest is attached TO the remains
OF the grypotherium because they were in such
good condition, suggesting, indeed, to the first
discoveries the belief that other specimens Of
the animal must be alive and roaming about
the country. At the same time the mere fact
that man was living with the grypotherium was
remarkable because until recently it was
doubted whether very primitive man, preglacial
man, existed on the American continent.
thorough hunt made by the Englishman,
Hesketh Prichard, few years ago failed to
reveal the hopedtor traces Of living giant
sloth although some naturalists have not given
up hope of such thing. Scientists believe
that tho remains Of the grypotherium date from
the glacial period. Their remarkable state of
preservation may be accounted for by the cold
The grypotherium had many advantages as
cow" for 1t possessed remarkable series
of enormous milk-bags extending all the way
down it's thorax and must have given an
extraordinary yield Of milk. With the help Of
this huge COW the South American cave man
must have lived an easy and comfortable life,
free from worry about the high cost of living.
The discovery Of the remains of the grypo-
therium was most interesting episode. and
the circumstances must be kept in mind before
you can understand the extraordinary picture
OF primitive life that they called up to
naturasts.
1 This is what happened: In November 1897,
Dr.. F. P. Moreno, director Of the La Plata
Museum, was engaged in surveying the boun-
Diary between Chile and Patagonia. His duties

falling Of that one boulder, and, unm1dful OF
his own danger, he worked over the carcass OF
the defunct family Cow"
SO 1t Is not stretching the Imagination too
much to conceive Of the giant rat scrambling
up the sides of the rocky cave, pursued by the
mammoth cat, until their bumpings and thud-
dings suddenly brought down @ shower OF the
death-dealinS boulders, crushing out their own
lives and that Of their master, all to lie In the
dust for thousands Of years, until modern sci.
ence and discovery should bring this prehis-
toric tragedy to light.
These giant sloths were the ancestors of the
queer little tree sloth that hangs backdown,
wards In South American trees today.
