Regulars and marines fresh from
service on the Mexican border, in
Haiti or Santo Domingo, were landed
Yesterday after a voyage in which
the German submarines were eluded
and all records were broken for
transporting overseas a large mill
tary unit. News of the arrival of the
troops sent a thrill through America,
as it was generally unknown that
any large detachment had yet LETT
these shores.
The forces will be a net gain TO
the allies as the men Will be fed,
clothed, armed and equipped by this
government. Already there are being
stored at the encampment supplies
sufficient for many months.
The American forces Will be an IN
dependent unit cooperating with the
allies. 1t has been suggested that the
Americans might be placed as con-
Meeting link between the French and
British armies, but the eNigencles OF
the coming campaigns Will decide
that question.

Skeleton Horned as Devil
Is Found by Boys in Cave

Wheeling. w. Va, June 2S. The
skeleton of man or animal that close
ly resembles the Satan usually pictur-
ed was unearthed here yesterday on
Repmans Hill by several boys.
The skull OF the skeleton is much
like that of the present human race,
project from just above the temples
on each side. In life the creature was
about four feet high, with a long tail.
There are four powerful legs or
arms, each of which has four fingers.
The chest is broad, and undoubtedly
was heavily muscled in the flesh
The skeleton was located by boys
who were digging a cave. Scared by
the resemblance of their gruesome
find, the boys ran down the hill, Yell
ing, I'VE found the devil"

war and in January Of 1913, it may hap
pen that we shall be called upon for a
considerable amount OF gold several
months before any important foreign
loans mature. Such condition may
result in the withdrawal Of greater
quantities Of gold than would be necss-
sary if we had some forms Of interns-
tional investment maturing eontlnu-
ously.
A very desirable form Of such In
yestment would be the issue Of treas
ury bills in this country by some Of
the leading foreign governments.
Let US consider how an issue OF
treasury bills would operate in this
market. Let Us suppose that the Brit
ish government arranges for the issue
and sale cover the counter IN this
country, through some medium, Of
treasury bills maturing IN three, four,
i've and six months. These treasury
bills would be purchased by our banks
and bankers at such times as they had
iunnb dFhllaDlt lOi Nt"PN. ~ HN'Nsp-
ment. As the bills matured they would
be paid, and if the American bank
desired to again make such investment
it would purchase new treasury bills
with the proceeds Of the maturing ones.
II the American banks condition
changed in the meanwhile il would
simply pass the maturing treasury bills
through the Clearing House in the
same manner as an ordinary check As
the treasury bills held By one bank
matured it is quite likely that other
banks would desire 10 make similar
investment, and thus the foreign GOV
eminent would be enabled 10 Keep a
considerable volume Of such bills afoat
and gold shipments would only DC nee
essary to meet a net decrease in the
volume Of outstanding bills.
