course. Those who had qualified as
experts and sharpshooters then shot
the regular army qualification course,
producing one expert. one sharp
shooter. twelve msrksmen and three
first class.
When the results were in, Col. King.

year in the District, and possibly the
highest made by any Guard organiza-
tion.

qualified as expert in the regular army
course. with a score Of 275 out Of a
possible 300. First Sergt. Simon AL
len made the next highest score and

the Adamson law now before the su-
preme Court

Wilson and the people. 1t was not our
idea to settle this dispute by legislation
We could have settled the railroad trou-
BILE in forty-eight hours last summer, If
we had been left alone

their right to deal directly with the rail-
roads in disputes as to wages and hours
Of labor He insisted that the power to
strike should be left with the railroad
employees He warned the committee to
keep politics out of the railroad legisla-
ton.
Legislation that would make an inter

the course of debate in the Senate yester-
day by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia.
He discussed proposed increases in pay de-
manded for government employees, and de-
clared that government activities should
not be menaced by strikes.

time-honored foreign policy of the United
States. They declared that the pro-
nouncement swept the United States
from its traditional diplomatic isolation.
and into the midst OF the turmoil of world
politics. They declared that by demand
ing that the war be ended on terms ac-
ceptable to the United States, the Presi-
dent had demanded for this country a
place at the council table of the world
powers in the consideration of the af-
fairs of the whole world. The traditional
policy OF confining the international ef-
forts of the United States to the Western
Hemisphere. founded on the Monroe doc
trine and the doctrine Of mo entangling
alliances" they said, was gone and in
its place had come a policy which made
the United Seates a party to every in
ternatIonal dispute the world might fur
nish
To meet this contention. fully expedited
by the President, and discussed in the
speech itself the administration yester-
day made an informal interpretation
OF the speech. II was recognized that
this view of the Presidents pronounce
ment would form the basis OF the oppo-
sition to the League to Enforce Peace
plan, in this country, which has already
made its appearance.
Extension of Principle.
Through the State Department yester-
day It was stated that the speech pro-
poses, not an abandonment of the prin-
ciple OF the Monroe doctrine, but an ex-
tension of that principle: not the con-
tracing of "entangling alliances" but
action that will make such alliances un-
necessary.
1t was stated that the President pro-
poses simply the extension over the
whole world OF the principle of the pro-
lection of weaker nations upon which the
Monroe doctrine was founded
The demand for a Senate debate to
clarity the peace sentiment was pre-
cipitated by Senator Cumnins, of Iowa
Soon after the Senate met he asked i'm
mediate consideration for a resolution
which would authorize discussion
beginning next Monday. each Senator to
be limited to one hour. Senator Stone,
chairman of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, objected vigorously, declaring
that the pressure of business in the
Senate precluded a week of debate on the
peace situation.
He sought to have the resolution re-
ferred to his committee. but 1t was put
over for consideration today.

ChicagO.-Human beings Inhabited
the North American continent more
than 125.OOO years ago, according to
the findings of E. III. Sellards. state
geologist of Florida. and Prof. Oliver
p. Hay, who made public results OF
study of fossil remains discovered In
Florida some months ago. Their opin-
ion, however. Is not fully concurred
in by other scientists.
Human bones intermingled with
those OF the mastodon. saber1toOth
tiger and other extinct animals, were
found in the deposit at Vero. Fla, and
thither six biologists and anthrOpOlO-
gists made their way Immediately to
study the find. Their report will be
made in the January-February (191O
issue of the Journal Of Geology. Ad-
vance sheets quote Mr.. Sellard as say
ing:
1.-The study of the fossils Of this stra-
tum, although not yet completed. has
brought to light considerable number
of extinct species which suggest the
reference of the deposit to the Pleisto-
Gene period. This Is the Oldest deposit
from which human remains have ever
been taken"
Doctor Hay. who is research asSOci.
ate of the Carnegie institution of
Washington. expresses similar views :
but four other scientists, whose ar-
ticies will appear in the Journal OF
Geology. are skeptical. They are Prof.
Il. T. Chamberlain Of the University of
Chicago. Thomas Wayland Vaughan OF
the United States geological surrey,
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka of the United States

Grant McCurdy of Yale. They are not
convinced that the human race existed
on this continent at SO early period.
