include this more comprehensive analysis
by a Brton of tendencies in a review or
Washington opinion and events because 1t
seems an indication. however light, of a
new wind blowing out of the battle across
the sea.
The theory, as it is advanced, views with
some concern the fact that Great Britain
has at the present time an Anglo Saxon
population of only 55,000.000 outside of
the British Isles. 1t is. accepted that this
is striking testimony to the governing
abilities Of the Anglo-SaXon. But there
are two other factors which the analyst
foresees must change the situation SO COM
pletey as to force the development of a
new policy on the part of Anglo-Saxon
peoples One of these is the fact tkat so
much Of the rich land Of the world, out
side OF South America. Russia and parts
of China, is in the hands Of Anglo-Saxons.
The other influence on his policy is the
war. which will deplete the English-speak-
ing peoples and at the same time stimuli
late the land-hungry peoples Of the earth
to push past thei, boundaries, TO spread
out and seek more comfortable quarters.
Once past this prelude, this fixing of
conditions on which his theory is based,

Anglo-Saxon civilization Of to-day to hold
these lands. wherein the race ideal has

The Man Who Says Man
Relationship to the Ape
Is "Collateral"

\ GAlN-or perhaps still-the anthro-
biologists are discussing tee theory of
creation. The opinion has been advanced
that apes are our grandchildren instead of
our grandfathers, but this has been re-
Jected by Professor Franz Boas, of Co.
lumbia University, who while inclining
toward Darwin's view as expressed in
"The Origin of Speces,' asserts that
mans relationship to an ape is collateral
rather than lineal. Man and the apes both
sprang from the same wild animal, he
contends, and while the ape has deterio-
rated, man has-no, he does not say i'm
proved-man has been domesticated.
Dr.. Boas, who is head of the anthro-
biological department at Columbia Univer-
sity, was born in Westphal.a, Germany
was educated at the universities OF Heidel-
berg, Bonn and Kiel, and soon after his
graduation from Kiel came to New York
In 1888 and 1884 he explored Baffin Land
and soon after his return to civilization
became assistant in the Royal Ethnograph-
ical Museum and decent of geography in
the University of Berlin In 1886 he came
to America and began conducting investi-
cations on the Pacific Coast of the entire
continent-investigat which he con-
tinucd off and on from then until 1915.

Washington, March, :

CPRING returns shy glimpses of the
old Washington. the quaint and
somewhat musty capital, the shrine
of the politician. Washington is south
when it comes to a matter of temperature,
and the soft atmosphere of early March,
the mild air and mellow sunlight, drive off
momentarily much of the garish activity
and the confusion that war has brought
to the city. The spring light touches the
old roofs with new magic, and Washing
ton becomes once more the home>of Web
ster, Of Madison and Monroe, the Wash
ington that survived 1912 and the Wash
ington Of Lincoln's day.
Strangely, the stern business of war has
influenced visitors to the city only to slim
ulate their interest. The widespread word
that sleeping accommodations are 80
scarce as to put barber chairs and hospital
beds at a premium for purposes of noe
turnal rest has had little effect in de-
creasing the influx. The sightseeing cars
are full every day, and it is possible that
a good many cold weather vacationsts
have been attracted even by the possibility
chine working at top speed.
The casual points of interest, the Monu-
ment, the Capitol, with Congress sweating
at the job of lawmaking, are stimulating
only with the degree Of imagination owned
by the observer Back Of these obvious
attractions arc many clements Of interest
that put into shadowy perspective the

Missouri is examining il.
Mr.. President, I called attention a few
days ago to the situation in the country
with reference to farm labor, and par
ticularly as to the effect which the next
draft would have upon the farm labor con-
ditions After those remarks were made
in The Senate I received a letter from
General Crowdcr discussing the matter,
this morning in regard TO It. | think it is
not perhaps receiving sufficient attention
by reason Of the absence of knowledge Of
the facts as they actually exist.
When | formerly discussed this subject,
| stated that if the next draft had the
same effect upon the depletion Of farm
leave the farm situation in Il very serious
condition. The statement which General
Crowder made was that there had been Il
comparatively small per cent Of farm
labor taken in the draft as compared with
other industries, and so forth. SO far as
the per cent Is concerned, that may be
true; but we must bear in mind Mr.. Pres
ident, that other industries have been
drawing from the farms for the past ten
years, and particularly FOR the last three
or four years until the supply Of farm
labor has been reduced to a minimum, and
the taking Of any portion Of that, unless
there was some other means to supply the
