Ukraine was more TO the adNantaen
Of Germany than to that Of Austria
for it erected along almost the entire
eastern border of Austria and Hun
gary a German vassal state that
would be little else than a tnancia
and commercial adjunct to the Ger"
man Empire.
By her present advance into Russia.
Germany is endeavoring further to
strengthen her position in the east
Her permanent possession of Cour-
land and the Baltic provinces would
give her access to ports that she hai
long desired on the Baltic Sea-. II
would make the establishment of
free and Independent Polish kingdom
impossible; it would make even tho
Poland which Austria and Germany
had so ostensibly planned a mere Ger
man province. Germany's dominio1t
in the east would be unquestionah1,'
established, while her ultimate success
in the war would make all the Bal
kans and Turkey mere subservient
states. Austria Hungary would thus
he left isolated in the center of d
German dominion, her position moro
dependent and helpless than it is now
or was before the war.
This is a condition that appeals
not only to the Slavic elements Of
the Austro- Hungarian population, the
Czechs, Slovalls and Serbs, but to tho
controlling German population. The
Slavs NAV resent the heartless at
tack upon their racial brethren in
Russia. but the Germans resent a
Prussjan dominance Of which they
cannot but feel they must eventually
become the victims. When in the
past Austria has helped Germany
7nht her battles Austria has suffered
she helped Prussia defeat Napoleon,
but no sooner was France broken
than Prussia resumed the traditional
anti Austrian policy which had been

been recognized even by the Austrians
themselves as the treatment OF n

That the Austrian people are weary
of the war there is no doubt, 1t is
equity true that the powers at Vienna
and Budapest are tired of Waging
war that promises oven in case of vic

Of Prussia and the continued ST D.

Miss Emily Galloway, VINO has q

I've been mixed up in dram tics

home town in Auburn my sister and

the bottom of it was a pile of paper

up most anything from gumshoes TO

line against the errors OF shpshod
workers. More often, however, it fet-

Once in the fleet there was a cap
tain who desired an especially con-
venient form Of waste-basket. he
had it made on requisitlon by the
Navy Yard. Unfortunately, just as it
arrived aboard, he was ordered 20
another ship In the confusion of de-
parture the waste basket remained
behind.
At the end OF the quarter the cap
tain's yeoman (clerk) made an in
voice as per "regs" Everything
checked up Q. K. but the basket. It
was missing, and it could not be Eek
pended because it was an item OF
some value and rather new.
A letter of inquiry was sent to the
old ship stating the case and request
ing that the article be forwarded.
After some weeks the letter was re-
turned with several sheets of endorse
ments attached. 1t turned out that
the navigator had taken the basket
with him when he went to command
q Pacific Coast cruiser.
The navigator respectfully stated
that his baggage had gone adritt, the
basket with it. Whereupon a survey
or investigation was ordered by the
original owner. The ycoman pre-
pared all papers in due form explain
ing the loss of the article and for
warded them to Washington.
These papers, including six ndorse-
ments of explanation, were sent out
to the navigator. He smeared on a
few more and mailed the packet ba elk
to his old ship. On arrival the batch
was not fully understood. It was en-
dorsed a few times more and boosted
on to headquarters, who sent it back
to the captain.
Briefly, that wad made the circuit
four and half times. Each time it
collected a few dozen more endorse

Apes Descended From Man.
(New York Times>


That man is not descended from
anthropoid apes, that these would be
in fact more accurately described as
having been descended from man,
that man is far more ancient than the
whole anthropoid branch, and that
compared with him the chinpanzee
and orangoutang are newcomers on
this planet, were assertions made by
Professor Wood Jones, Professor Of
Anatomy in the University of Lon
don. in q lecture on the origin Of
man.
The professor claimed these asser-
tons were proved not only by recent
anatomical research, but to be de-
ducible from the whole trend of geo
logical and meteorological discovery.
one of the most interesting refer
ences in the lecture was to recent re-
ports by DR.. Stewart Arthur Smith Of
Sydney on the Talgai skull discov-
cred in 1889 in Darling Downs, n. S.
w, but never seriously investigated
till 1914.
This undoubtedly human skull,
very highly mineralized," he said,
was found in q stratum with extinct
pouched mammals, and probably is
as ancient as the famous PiltsdoWn
skull, whose human nature was so
hotly disputed just before the war.
In deposits Of the same age as those
i'll which the Talgai skull WAS UNI
earthed were found bones OF dineo
dogs and also bones OF extinct pouch
ed mammals gnawcd by these dogs
Until the arrival of Captain Cock
mails were ever introduced upon the
Australian sand continent. It Is geo
logically certain that Australia has
always been surrounded by the sea
since the time of the evolution of
the pouched mammals. Had it not
been so, it is almost certain that
many non-pouched mammals in the
netghboring continents would have
migrated thither.
How, then can the presence OF the
Talgai man and his dingo dogs alone
among these be accounted for? The
conclusion deduaible is that he must
have arrived there In boats with his
family and his dom este dogs, and the
astounding fact energies that a period
in the worlds history, when only
Year or two ago the most advanced

brute ancestors, man already so
highly developed as to have domesti-
Gated animals and to be a boat build
err and navigator was actually in
Australia, and, to an astonishing de-
gree, the reasoning master of his own
fate"
In view not only of this bur Of even
more convincing evidence gathered
from mans own anatomical Struc-
ture, Professor Wood Jones made
moving appeal for the whole recon
sideration of the post-DalWinian con-
ception of mans comparatively re-
cent emergence from the brute king
dom. The missing link of Huxley, ne
