q, The First American Indians

According to Keith, the American
iIndiiin in all his varieties, is descend
ant from the primitive Monaghan type.
There is a theory advanced by Payne
that in some remote period the progen-
itor of the Indian came to this CONT
nent from Asia over a bridge of land
that existed in prehistoric times where
the Behring sea now is. Another
theory. championed by Dawkins and
Brinton, assumes that the originals Of
our native stocks came from Europe,
probably by way Of Iceland.

Greece Produces Emery

ATHENS.-One of the effects of the
war has been to close the great emery
mines of Asia Minor - the entente
allies, and as emery is an absolute
necessity in the manufacture of am
munition Greece has become one the
chief sources of supply in fine emery
produced on the island of NaXos.
The American munition makers took
most of it in 1915 when they were
rushing their orders to the allies,
American firms taking 5000 tons of
this Greek emery. But the produce
was considered so essential to the war
that the French government took over
the mines last year and are operating
them so all the allies obtain a share
of this essential of shell-making. Last
year the share going to the French
ammunition makers reached about IL
500 tons, while the amount sent to
the United States fell 10 1900 tons.

Shock MitiatOr
Initiated Into
French Mystery
(By Review Leased Wire.)

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE
FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE. Sept.
25.-Captain Roch, the initiator of the
German shock units, receiver rude
counter attacks yesterday, when, with
a specially selected model battalion,
he attempted to evict the French from
positions extending from the north
west corner of the Fosses Wood to the
eastern fringe of Chaume Wood on the
Verdun battlefield.
Forced to Return.
Sprays of liquid flame and furious
grenade attack followed a terrific Ger
man bombardment of the German
lines but the French troops, undismay>
ed by this, went out to meet their as
sailants and beat them back with boy
onet and hand grenade, until the dis
comfited Germans were forced to re-
turn to their own trenches.
Hand-to-Hand.
There were many hand-to-hand COM
bats between the lines where the Ger
mans now lie thick. Not an inch oil
territory was recaptured by the Ger
mans, notwithstanding their extraor-
binary efforts to gain ground in the
of Hill 352, which would
be of immense advantage to their OBJ
servers. Other German attacks fac
ing Bezonvaux and to the south OF
Beaumont we're intended to distract
the attention of the French from the
real German objective. Here the Ger
mans came face to face with French
colonial battalions, who hurled the
enemy back, inflicting large number
of casualties and maintaining inviolate
the entire French line.
Three divisions of the crown
princes army participated in the ac-
ton.
