GIANT LIZARD MET
IN B0RNE0 JUNGLE

New York, Nov 15,--Distingushed
ichthyologists and herpetologists met
here today to hear about the largest
lizard ever discovered. The enormous
reptile was found in the wilds of Bor-
neo by II, C. Raven of the American
Museum of Natural History.
Mr.. Raven was amazed, he told the
scen' lists, when he met the gigantic
lizard in the Jungle. He didn't believe
it was possible at first. but definitely
established that he had not been de-
ceived by mirage.
This lizard, officially described as a
flesh -eating monster, was larger than
any reptile of its species ever before
encountered, measuring sixteen rect
from nose to tail and built In proper
ton Herpetolcgists have found frag-
ments of what they took to be prehls-
toric lizards of enormous size, but the
largest one ever seen alive. until Mr.
Raven found his in Borneo, was only
ten feet eight inches long.

London, Nov. 15.--The threatening
attitude of the extremists in Holland
who have demanded the abdication Of
Queen Wihelmina is causing anxiety
at The Hague, according to the Daily
Express.
Information reaching here from
official sources indicates that the sit
uation in Holland is causing grave
apprehension, and that the presence
there of the former German emper-
or with members of his family and
some of his strongest supporters may
so inflame the people as to endanger
the monarchy.
Bolshevism apparently has taken
root in Holland. Before the war the
relations between the Dutch and the
German courts were very close and II
is suggested that the Bolshevists may
see in the presence of the former rul-
er of Germany an excuse to precipi-

General Pershing, it is understood,

Mr. Baker has previously indicated
that the fundamental desire of the

DAVIS RETURNS
FROM PRISONER
EXCHANGE FARLEY
American Delegate Says
Agreement Superseded by
Armistice, but Still Has
Some Valuable Features,

10y MORNING JOURNAL srgdiAL tsAsfp w'eGl
Paris, Nov. 15.-John w. Davis, the
newly appointed American ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, who has been
for some time in Berne attending the
conference of American and German
delegates on the exchange of war
prisoners, arrived here today. The
sitting of the commission at Berne
has ended
Mr. Davis will sail for the United
States next Saturday. He expects to
return to London in December and
take up his new post. John tarret
and the staff of the American COM
mission are with Mr.. DAVIS.
MIR. Davis said today that con-
vention concerning the exchange of
prisoners was signed at IL o'clock
Monday night, but that the armistice.
which had been signed the same
morning, largely superseded the con-
vention as the armistice provided for
the immediate release Of American
prisoners.
The ambassador said that never
theless the conveption contains a
number of provisions of a humani-
tartan character which still may be
useful if they are made effective by
raI1IlcdtlOn py tne Two governments.
He is taking copy of the document
to Washington with him. The terms
of it will not be made public until il
is approved by the American govern
ment-
The question of the condition OF
prisoners was not before the commits
sion, its duty being, merely to provide
for exchange. There were no ap-
nroa ches from either side acroes fhe
conference table. 1t developed dur
ing the discussions, however. that
food conditions in Germany were SC
ed prisoners suffering with the rest
and probably in a greater degree. or
the whole conditions were reasonable
except in some instances where Sc
we're shortage Of food prevailed.

GERMANS ONLY
FORCED To GIVE
BACK WAR LOOT


New York. Nov 15.--In answer to
German claims that surrender of 5000
locomotives and 10000 railroad cars,
as demanded by the allies, would
bring famine upon the country, Ste
'phane I.auzanne, head of the official
bureau of French information, de-
clared here today that Marshal Foch
has imposed upon the enemy merely
restitution of rolling stock which its
armies of invasion seized in Belgium,
and northern France early in the war.
THE German authorities pretend" ="
said Mr.. Lauzanne, that this equip
ment is needed 10 transport food from
the farms to the cities. When the
American press is filled with these
claims it is perhaps well to remind the
public that the invaders seized in
France $4,000 cars and in Belgium,
the en'ire railway rolling stock, COM
prising 5000 engines and $4,000 cars"
The French publicist asserted that
equipment specified in the armistice
terms is necessary to the rationing of
the civilian populations of Belgium
and northern France, who have been
starved and robbed of all they pos
sessed by the German armies of occu-
patton"

One reason suggested for the

restoring the channels of trade and

as to afford employment to labor and

the allied governments to relieve the
civilian populations of the central
powers from the danger of famine, 1t
being recognized that this relief work
can best be carried on after formal
peace treaties have been negotiated.
