COLONIZATION
 BUT WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BERLIN. March ,. (Via London, March 3)-Some of the extremists of the anneXationists appear to have passed beyond the demand that the empires borders be made safe from military and political standpoints. when peace is reached Herr Fur mann, national liberal speaking in the Prussian diet today in support of the domestic colonization meas ure said
 By bringing in the governments of Courland, Kovno and Suwalki, the price of the land would increase to S,000,000.0 900 marks and we have no reason to let this fall into the lapse of the inhabitants there as gift We need, along with the assuring of Germanys political might and with the strengthening of our west ern industry, new and extended lands for colonization in the east which we must acquire for necessary eX- tensions of our agricultural founda- tions."
 Polish delegates opposed the pro- posed colonization measure, unless it was amended to provide that no colonist receiving state aid should he discriminated against because of religion. descent, language or politi- cal activity. They referred to past discrimination against the Poles in the east and asked for guarantees for the future.
 The Poles referred to the fact that Field Marshal von Hindenburg and the governor of Warsaw have pro- hibted real estate transfers in Po- land, causing dissatisfaction in the districts involved, as the Poles un- derstood that the prohibition will be continued until after peace is re- stored and fear that the resulting increase in values will be solely to the benefit of the Germans
 The delegates Of the Centrist party supported the Poles. Minister of Agriculture Baron von Schorlemer however, said the demands of the Poles could not be granted The m mister referred to the past assur- ances of the Prussian government that the colonization laws would be executed with the fullest regard tC the rights of the Poles The Poles must realize, however, he said, that German claims must be protected against any claim for colonization fl om the Polish side.
 Seventy eight delegates (members Of the Center, radical. and POlish) voted for the Polish amendment while S9 delegates voted against it The vote showing that there was nc quorum, the diet adjourned.

Additional lights in the shape of flares

Having no means of measuring the

Their Investigations as the short time at

urements and facts ascertain upon our
return were as follows: Length Of the
largest fossil was between so and 20
feet from n point where the head was
partially buried in the cave wall TO
the first point OF contact with any OF
the other specimens, thus showing tne
length to be at least between so and 10
feet and it seemed to US that the same
reptile extended for another so or 20
feet. but owing to the intermingling
of coils Of various reptiles at TINS point
error is possible here and confirmation
or otherwise must be left TO more
skilled observers with plenty Of time
at their disposal
1.-THE depth of the portion Of body
uncovered and shown in photo No. was
two feet Two legs or paddles par
tally uncovered were observed about
II or ] 4 feet from the head and another
pair about 40 or so feet from the same
point. The head appeared to be large
and flat. 1t seems probable that tho
specimen examined is a fossil OF
Morosautus Camperi and that 1t and the
other reptiles were trapped in the cave
in past ages and there starved to death;
comparison between the length of the
reptile and the depth Of the body and
its thinness would also point to star
va ton as the cause of death.
