SOME LONG, VANISHED PLANTS
Flora Which FIourished Millions Of
Years Ago in America Described
in Government Report.

The area known as the Mississippi
embayment is low-lying region which
has alternately been submerged and
emerged since the Cretaceous time
known as the Age Of Reptiles, over
100000 years ago. 1t embraces
roughly 1900 square miles.
In past geologic ages this region
doubtless furnished congenial habitats
for several thousand specific types Of
plants Of which we can never hope to
know more than small number. Near
ly all these types have irrevocably
vanished and this vast area is tenanted
today by an entirely new set Of plants.
The United States geological survey,
department of the interior, has recent
ly published q scientific report by E.
w. Berry, describing some Of these
Iong-vanished plants the fossil remains
of which are found today in many Of
the rock formations. The report gives
systematic description Of more than
300 species, in what is known as the
Wilcox and Midway formations.
The Wilcox flora is made up almost
entirely Of plants that lived along the
ancient coast, on the strand am ong Ia
goons and sand dunes. The physical
conditions under which the plants lived
are discussed, and conclusions are
drawn regarding the climate Of the
Eocene period compared with that of

the Union Pacific railroad, Ray, as

HUSSEIN. KING OF THE HEJAZ

Out of the maelstrom Of the great

The new navy censor will be able
to take care Of himself in any scrap
with the press his censorship may
bring forth. He was on the navy
football team for three years and was
captain of the team in 1912, his last
year. Then he rowed in the navy crew.
Ten Of the fourteen years since he
left Annapolis, Lieutenant Belknap has
spent at sea. He served successfully
on the Kearsarge, Hopkins, MacDon-

Hampshire, and then in 1909 he had

torpedo station at Newport. He was

She took the rose from her gown
and handed it with the card to Ruth.
The girl took them wonderingly, but
Margie kissed her, and went away.
Then Ruth read upon the card some
thing that brought to her face color
that matched the rose in her hand.
"Oh! But I'm robbing her." she
cried.
"No, you're not. We're just good
pals, Margie and but want you

It didn't seem necessary for him to
say anything more. Both understood.

the country's call for more food by

Congress Faced
With Collecting
$5,OOO,O 1000

WASHINGTON. Dec. Con
gress will have TO authorize in the
session converting next Monday
means of collecting from the Amer
lean people between now and July 1
about five billion dollars. in addi-
ton TO the S3.6OO.OOO 200 from Lib
erty bonds already authorized but
yet to be issued, the billion dollars
or less expected from war savings
campaign and about three billion
dollars from war taxes.
Most congressional leaders be-
lieve the FIVE billion dollar balance
must be provided principally by is
sue Of bonds, and Sec'y McAdOO has
told members of congress that he
heartily favoTs this method. Chair
man Kitchen of the house ways and
means committee on his return to
Washington Saturday, will take up
the question Immediately and the
committee within a week or two is
expected 10 frame a new bond meas
ure. If this plan is finally adopted,
the country probably will be called
on to absorb two more big Liberty
bond issues between Feb. l and July
1. aggregating more than $500
100000.
Loans to Allies Exhausting.
Another big finance question
which will require the early atten-
ton of congress is the continuance
of loans to the allies. If the pres
ent rate of extending credits TO the
allies is continued, the seven bill
be exhausted by July 1, and con-
gress will have to decide whether to
continue the loans after that time
Six billion dollars will be required
for the fiscal year beginning next
July 1, if the rate Of a half billion
dollars a month is kept up.
Wide difference of opinion ex-
lists in congress over the question OF
whether bulk OF the five billion dol
lars should be raised by taxation or
bond issues. but those advocating
the issue of securities expect strong
support from the administration.
Taxation advocates are expected
20 make a fight for establishment Of
new taxes on certain business lines
and for increase Of income and ex-
cess profits rates.
Treasury officials and con-
gressional leaders in charge Of the
finance program have TO means Of
knowing at this time what success
the war savings plan will meet. but
most OF them figure on receiving be-
tween $500, 100000 and $1,000. 000.-

be a considerable body of liberal
opinion which welcomes his letter,
and much interest is being exhibit
ed in what the press of the United
States has to say on the subject.
There also is a great deal OF curios-
ity as to what support the marquis
Of Lansdowne may have had among
the political leaders, it being believ-
ed that he was not likely to publish
such an appeal without some such
a cqUiescence. According TO some ru-
mors. Earl Loreburn, former lord
high chancellor and the earl OF
Roseberry were consulted before the
letter was given TO the press.
The Weekly Nation expresses the
opinion that the war policy Of Wis
count Grey, former foreign secre-
tary. is identical with the marquis

An interesting point Of view OF
some of the political discussions
bearing on the letter is that il points

ment and policy to that Of the ex-
