Germany 0ptomistic Over Re-
suits Of Three Years Of War

Berlin, July 29.-Via London July
30-In it's review of the third year OF
the world war, the Tageblatt points
out that the armies of Germany and
her allies have conquered more than
half million square kilometers OF en-
tente territory and asserts that the
military strength of the Central
Powers has increased, while that OF
France has diminished The newspaper
says that the German public has plain
ly announced it's readiness for peace
and expresses the hope that common
sense and a sincere desire for the ces-
sation of hOstilities will assert them
selves in the ranks of Germany's adj
seEsaries.
The Tageblatt says:
The past year has been fruitful of
many instructive results. Above all, it
may be asserted that the Entente no
longer has the disposal of unlimited
production and supplies Of ammunition
as was the case during the Somme
battle. We still are unimpaired in our
strength and more fortified than ever
before.
THE following offers an approximate
picture of the occupied territory
which is now held by the military
forces of the Central Powers measured
in square kilometers:
Belgium 2S,9S0; France 1920;
Russia 280,490; Rumania 100000; Ser.
bia S5,S67; Montenegro 14,1SO; Albania
10000. Total 54S,737.
THAT total is opposed by 900 square
kilometers of land held by the French
and the Austro- Hungarian territory in
Russian possession measuring 25,5OO
square kilometers. The latter figure
has been diminished by fully so per
cent and is likely to fall away entire
ly in the near future"

NOT NOBLE animal
Man Not Such Finished Product
as Imagined, Says Savant.
lnferiority to Despised Mammals,
1t Is Asserted.

Investigation Is proving, declares
DR.. Il. Wood Jones, professor OF anut-
ony at the university of London, in his
new book, "Arboreal Man." that the hu.
man body is no such finished product
OF evolution as we have fondly imag-
ined. 1t has points of decided inferior
lty to the physical frames of mammals
upon which we look with diSdain as
less finely formed than ourselves.
Some of the lower animals are more
. capable of exquisite adaptations than
are we ourselves. Their bodies ure
more splendid Instruments than ours
are, more complex, indicative of II
higher stage of evolution on the physi-
cal plane. The upright attitude of man
has been employed rs an argument in
favor OF his superiority to the four
footed beast physiologically, although
the evidence makes such an argument
ridiculous. 1t would tend the other
way, says review in the Lon
don Lancet.
If we compare mans body with the
D"dy or so-called "lower organisms"
we are aStonished to find that his
points Of resemblance are with the
lowest in the scale OF conscious being.
Man is oddly unlike the noble beasts Of
the jungle; but he Is amazingly like
the creatures of primitive type that
Unrest the bog, the pond and the
swamp. His relatives are not the lords
OF the forest, not the kings Of the
jungle, nor the mighty eagle, but the
creatures of the slime.
How Is 1t that the various elements
OF the remote ancestral limb have been
preserved in human limbs? Professor
Jones answer is that the prlmatrs
broke away from the early land living
mammalian stock while the primitive
bones and muscles were still preserved
In that stock. These primitive cle-
mentS proved useful and were pre-
served In that particular form which
adopted an arborcal life and used the
hand and foot to grasp with. The prm-
Hive plan on which the hands of man
are built can be accounted for only by
suppoSing thnt mans ancestry spent II
long piiSrinaGc in the trees 1t was
during mans arborral phase of exist
ence that the vast majority of those
anatomical characters which we re-
gard as adaptations to nrin'S upright
posture were evolved. These anatomi-
cal traits Indicate how low we are
Current Opinion.
