Thousands Of lives, thousand Of limbs

1T Is a curious fact that the present
vast conflict Is the result OF the I'M
willingness OF the workers to make
war. The politicians felt no such I'M
willingness. II the workers Of Ger

against m~ilitarlsm and had overthrow
1t. Europe rs a whole would have re-
manned At peace, for surely none Of
the other nations Of the world had the
least intention or desire to make war
upon Germany. Neither the Govern
ments nor the people Of England and
France wanted war;"
DO you feel that British and French
workmen also should have refused to
night at the behest Of their Govern
ments?"
NO." said the labor leader. Their
situation was entirely different. 1t was
their duty to night. for they could not
stand BY unaffected aud inactive while
Germany wrcaked her will on Belgium.
The spoliation OF that gallant little
land marked out the path for both the
Governments and every worker in
England. France. Russia and Italy be-
yond any doubt.
Thus at It's very start the war be-
came a struggle between militaristic
domination and the domination OF the
fundamental principles OF right ov-
eminent. The Teutonic workers are
lighting certainly. but there Is no
doubt in my mind that. no matter how
the war may end. after that end has
come these same workers or those OF

they can so to remodel their Govern

OF Etienue GeofYroy st. Hilaire. which
after a search Of a century has been /,
r~ediscovered in fossil form on the
island Of Porto Rico.
The credit for the discovery goes to
the American Museum Of Natural His
tory, which sent TO the island an ex-
petition In charge Of II. f. Anthony.
The expedition has just returned and
Mr.. Anthony Is gathering his material
for a scientific report. Back of the
story OF the Geoffroy bat stretches the
romance OF continents lost n on
tinents once connected With other
shores.
Geoffroy st. Hilaire. or Geofroy, as
he Is generally called. was professor
OF zoology at the Natural History
Museum Of Paris late In the eighteenth
century. When Napoleon B%onaparte
was preparing the expedition to Egypt
which was to block the road of the
British to the Orient and menace
India he took into his service many
%savants. Among them was Geoffroy.
The BIOLOGIST went to the land OF the
TndTaOnS III ltJo III u StNt'
mass of material about the animals
| and birds there. He gave TO the world
a great work on the mammals based
| on his researches by the Nile. and in
this IL described the strange bat,
Sternoderm rufum. He had appar-
| entity got a living specimen somewhere,

interesting to the %zoologist it IL not IL
Eliminating for the layman. Appear
ing as this description did in a book
dealing with the animal life OF Egypt,
, the natural inference was made that the
bat was found in that country. From
the publication OF the Gcoffroy report
in 1918 until a few weeks ago scien-
lists have had the bat puzzle on their
minds. The English. German n
French z~oolog'sts have written mono
graphs on the most famous OF all the
bats and in recent years 1t has been
predicted that eventually the hat would
be found in the Western world.
Bats are widely distributed. II they
are not abundant In Egypt and none
like Geoffroy's has ever been found
there. They are not referred to even
in the picture writing Of the Egyptians
who have represented most OF the ami
mails found in their land. For that
matter the bat of Geoffroy has not
been found In life anywhere else on
earth. 1t is present In many forms In
North and South America and there
have been certain bats found on this
aide Of the Atlantic which had some
points in common with Geoffroy's,
II the bat Of Geoffroy could have
been traced to Egypt, or for that mat
ter to Europe or Asia or Hfrica, there
would have been many who would hail

the elements Of peace must organize

workers Of the world know 1t and
have determined upon It.
This war has produced indescrib-

CONDEMNS ITEMS IN BILL.
Senator Hastings Would Send Rivers

Senator Hastings. democrat, Of Wis
consin. today opposed the rivers and
harbors bill to appropriate $4,000 900 and
gave notice that he would move to have
the measure sent back to the commerce
committee. He criticised some Of the re-
publican opposition to the bill on the
grounds of extravaganza as insincere and
partisan. saying the majority was con-
demned as inefficient for the legislat ton
it failed to enact and attacked as eX-
travagant for the measures it proposed.
He condemned many of the items in
the bill as unnecessary and urged that
even the meritorious ones be laid aside
while the entire attention of Congress be
given to preparedness. for arms il un-
avoidable. and for the development Of
industry and commerce. which he de-
