GREAT HORNED REPTILES.
For Instance, the Extinct Trieeratopa
or the Diceratops.

Geological Survey Bulletin: Those
who have seen skeleton of the great
extinct reptile Triceratops-the din
osaur ("terrible HARDY with the
face"-or better still, a
good restoration Of the animal as it
was in life, or vivid picture such as
the painting OF C. r. knight, now in
the National museum at Washington.
have undoubtedly marveled at the
huge, unwieidy bulk OF the creature,
its massive limbs. ponderous body.
and particularly its enormous skull
with two stout curved brow horns.
rhinoceros-like nasal horn. parrot
beaked jaws and great spread Of bony
cape over the neck and shoulders.
Triceratops reached length of over
20 feet, and its skull from the tip OF
its beaked jaw to the edge Of its frill,
as the bony cape is technically NAM
ed, was as much as feet long. Yet
IT was probably a sluggish, stupid crea-
ture with intelligence OF very low
order, for its brain, in proportion to
its skull, was among the smallest
known in backboned animals.
Other horned dinosaurs that were
quite as large and peculiar lived dur
ing the same period. One of them
(Diceratops) lacked the nasal horn
but was otherwise much like Tricera-
tops Another large form (Torosaur-
us) had q thinner frill with two large
openings through the bone, though
these were concealed in life by mus
cular tissue and skin.
Besides Triceratops and It's rela-
tives, earlier and probably ancestral
types of ceratopsin c'horned-faced'D
dinosaurs have long been known to
science. The primitive forms were
as a rule smaller and less bizarre: :
they possessed much smaller frills
and mere stumps of brow horns,
though they had well-developed nasal
horns. For long time the fossil re.
mains of these dinosaurs were not un
derstood, but collectors eventually
found enough parts of skeletons to
give an idea of the appearance and
character of the animals. In the last
few wears enough fine skeletons have
been found to extend knowledge OF
them notably, and . number have

Another German Arrested.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March g.
Alleged to be connected with plots to
destroy the WelIand canal and other
unneutral acts in America, Captain
Alfred Fritzen, German officer, was
arrested early today by agents OF the
department of justice in Alhambra,
near here.
According TO Special Agent Blan-
ford, OF the department OF Justice,
one OF the arresting officers, the
specific charge against Fritzen Is i'm
pIication in the Welland canal plot.
His recent activity in Mexico and
actions elsewhere in the country are
also under investigation in suspicion
that he may have knowledge Of plots
to destroy property in New York and
elsewhere.
The arrest follows search of six
months conducted by the department
of Justice. Revelations in southern
California and northern Mexico are
said to have caused the issuance OF
orders by A. B. Bielaski. chief OF the
bureau Of Investigation for the arrest.
A connection between Fritzen and
German Consul Bopp, recently con-
victed in San Francisco and Captains
Boy Ed and Won Papen, deported a
year ago, is also said to have been
established.
At the city jail. where he was
lodged after his arrest, Fritzen re-
fused to make any statement except
to say that the federal officers have
made a grave mistake. He stated
that he has been in the U. S. three
years and admitted visiting Cuba re-
Gently. although he insisted the visit
was merely a tourist trip.
Fritzen, who is said to be q naval
officer, was arrested at the home OF
Frank S. Hart, music dealer. for
whom he worked as farmer some
time ago. Fritzen had arrived yes
terday afternoon from San Francisco
for a visit with Hart and he was
arrested while asleep. He submitted
calmly and 10 held on charge OF sus-
! picion OF q felony pending further
| advices from Washingtn.
As Mr.. Piper, Fritzen is said to
have resided in San Francisco, Los
| Angeles, Sandiego and northern
Mexico during the past six months.
He admits being in those cities. A
search for Fritzen's trunks is being
made today and arrest Of persons be-
lieved to be associated with him Is
expected soon.

tions and were the terms OF victor. one
is now endeavoring again TO achieve
victorious peace which will leave her in
possession of a portion Of her conquests
and the greater part of her thefts and
plumber.
While the German army continues to de-
stroy and ravage France; while the Kaiser
continues to enslave Belgians; while the
German professors and the German junk
ers continue to preach permanent reten-
ton of Belgium and the permanent occu-
ration of the iron districts Of France;
while the German Mitteleuropa plan re-
mains mainly successful. there is no mis-
taking the fact that all German peace talk
and all peace talk made on behalf of Ger
many are a blind and delusion.
Every sign that any man can now see
points toward a campaign Of 1918. The
only possible escape from it will be pro-
posal for peace by Germany which in
cludes a promise to meet the just and rea-
sonable demands of Germany's enemies in
the matter of the evacuation of conquered
territories and the indemnifcation Of those
provinces and countries which have been
ravaged by Germany in defiance of all the
laws of war and of humanity. We in
America shall not be taken in again by the
snares and the devices which have tempo
rarily availed with the Russians. The de-
feat of Germany, the overwhelming and
permanent defeat of Germany, is assured
if the United States will prepare to put
half million troops on the firing line in
Europe next spring and to do a reasonable
part in fighting the campaign Of 1918. 1t
is not for us now to talk of peace, we who
have Just begun to get ready to fight, and
we, who have made the least sacrifice, can
best face the prospect of prolongation
Of the war.
The air is at the present moment full OF
German peace kites. They are of many
coors and of many shapes. But they all
originate in one quarter, and are all float
ing on one breeze. If one choose to trace
the strings 10 the holding point, it will be
found that this holding point is in Berlin.

Reduced Shipping Losses

Ii is only by comparison with the two
most disastrous weeks of the intensified
submarine campaign that the latest return
of British shipping losses can properly be
represented as encouraging. Nothing
could be more rash than to presume on the
evidence of the official table that the men
ace is now in hand, unless it be the foolish
assumption that it has been instantly con-
trolled by the mere presence of our de-
stroyers. For, assuming that we sent over
every effective vessel at our disposal; sup
posing even that two or three score are
already actively assisting the two or three
hundred British destroyers and torpedo
boats and the multitude of patrols of va
rious types employed in anti-submarine
work, it would be manfestly unreasonable
to believe that in two weeks our flotilla had
proved the decisive factor in this great
contest.
But setting aside the nonsense about
what has happened "since our fleet took a
hand" we can find some comfort in the
assurance that during the last fortnight
the losses have not increased. The num-
Der of ships of 500 tons and over lost was
eighteen last week, which is the same as
the number of the week before; of ships
under 1000 tons nine were lost, as COM
pared with five the week before. For the
week of April 1929 the losses announced
were thirty-eght and thirteen in the two
classes, and for the week Of April 1922
forty and fifteen.
1t is evident then that in the last two
weeks there has been marked improve
ment so far as British shipping is con-
cerned, but we have no way of telling to
what extent neutral shipping has suffered,
nor in the absence of tonnage figures is it
possible to estimate accurately the gravity
even of British losses.
Another point to be noted is that the
number of merchant vessels unsuccessfully
attacked is comparatively small. Only nine
escaped, whereas in the four weeks pre-
ceding the numbers were nineteen, thirty
four, twenty-four and twenty-seven, re-
spectivey. 1t might be concluded from
these figures and the figures generally that
the Germans during the last week or two
have been unable to maintain as many
submarines at sea as hitherto, but it would
be unwise to count on any permanent
change in the conditions.

Exhibit A for the Press

There is very little promise of intelligent
or proper administration Of any press CEN
sorship law in the initial performance Of
Mr.. George Creel, Censor, by title if not
by law.
In all the arguments advanced by the
champions of press censorship, who are
spokesmen of the Administration, there
has been a unanimous insistence tnat the
purpose was not to suppress the expression
Of opinion editorially, but of news that
might give aid and comfort TO the enemy.
Now. in the face Of all this protestation,
the first effort of Mr.. Creel is directed not
at an editor whose news offended. but at an
editor whose views gave pain. The editor
of THE Washington Herald the first
