The School and the Treasury.

The tremendous effective national serv.
ice that the schools and school children
of the country can render is being
awaited of as fully as possible by the
treasury department in its work. In a
great number of schools Liberty loan
clubs have been organized and many
bonds also have been purchased by indi-
vidual pupils. The war-savings cam
paign is endeavoring to have a warsav
ing club established in every school in
the country and organized and individ-
ual effort is to be stimulated in every
way.
Secretary McAdoo has said that he
would like TO see every schoolhouse in
the United States an open forum, where
patriotism and loyalty are taught, and
a center of national service in its com
munity and among its pupils and pat
rons The school as a medium to reach
the people OF the rural districts is of
especial value.

ANCIENT RELATIVES OF
CH4WBERED NAUTILUS
Group of Extinct Mollusks That Com
prised Over 1000
Species.

/ Everyone has seen CLANS and snails,
and many have seen the shells of the
pearly or chambered nautilus. These three
kinds of shellfish represent the three
main classes of the Molusca, one of the
great divisions of the animal kingdom,
which has existed since the advent Of
life upon the globe, many millions Of
years before the age of man. The cep-
halopods, the class which includes the
chambered nautilus, are the most highly
organized of the mollusks. They breathe
by gils and live in the sea. Very few
species of cephalopods are living to-day,
but the remains of more than 1000 spe-
cies have been found embedded in rocks.
One group of eephalopods, the ammo
noids, is now extinct, yet the fossil re-
mains of no less than 5000 species of
ammonoids have been found and de-
scribed. These interesting animals were
once very abundant and in an ancient
geological period may for a long time
have been the masters of the sea.
To the scientist these fossil cephalo-
pods, are OF special value as markers of
the geologic age of the beds in which
they are found; they are excellent stop
watches" of geologic time They were
so highly organized that they were very
sensitive to changes in the conditions OF
the seas so that they were continually
varying in form from one geologic epoch |
to another.
Each ammonoid lived in shell that 7
it made from its own secretions, and as |
it grew it moved forward from time to |
time in its growing shell and built
shelly partition behind itself. In this |
way the shell became chambered
An interesting feature of the ammo
noids Is the complete record of the race
which is preserved in the shell, A care
full study of this and other groups has
shown the animals in their individual
development 90 through the various
stages that represent the development of
their race, even back to their remote an.
eestors. In the more highly organized
animals with which we are familiar, such

LATITUDE AND LONCI.
TUDE DETERMINED
United States Geological Survey, Depart
ment of the Interior, Issues Reports
Showing Exact Geographic Position of
Thousands of Points-Cities Shown in
Some Maps Are Represented as Miles
Away from Their True Positions.

The geological survey has on hand sew
eral reports bulletins PIG, PAS, 3l0 44l
and 406) which give the exact latitude
and longitude of many thousand points
scattered over the United States from
Maine to Oregon and from Montana TO
Texas. Maps that accompany the bulle-
| tins show the areas included.
| On many of the best available maps of
some states important towns and other
features are shown as much as five miles
out of place with reference to their true
ATTITUDES and longitudes the work of the
geological survey corrects such errors.
The inaccuracies of all old maps are due
principally to the lack of such data as
are given in these bulletins.
The ATTITUDES and longitudes given in
the bulletins are fixed datum points to
which state, city, and other surveys may
be connected, thereby insuring an ALSO
lutte recovery and establishment OF
any landmarks that may have been de-
stroyed or obliterated.
The information contained in these
bulletins makes it possible TO harmonic
local surveys, however widely separated,
and eventually to place them with accu-
racy in their proper position on any map
of which they are integral parts.
Connections are made to numerous
land survey lines, so that the marks for
these lines also can be restored TO their
proper positions if they have been acct
dentalIy or willfully moved. Many cities,
approaching the Importance OF such
work, have at their own expense or in
cooperation with the government co-or-
dinated their surveys with the determi
nations made by the United States geo
logical survey.
The airline distance from Portland,
Maine, to Portland, Greg, for instance,
can be computed with comparatively in
significant error, and any other distances |
within the area covered by this work |
can be determined with equal accuracy.
Modern civilization requires accurate |
data. and the more use that is made of |
the results that the government gives out |
freely, the greater viii be the benefit to |
he country, The geological survey is en-
ieavoring to do its part in the work by
supplying the data it obtains free of

banking houses that Atty. Gen. Merton
Il. Lewis of New York state was able to
obtain information which was forwarded
to the French ambassador in Washing
ton, M. Jusserand, upon which Bolo was
arrested.
According to Mr.. Lewis, Count Won
Bernstorff, then German ambassador to
the United States, directed the transfer
of the 81 $3.50, 900 to Bolo in New York,
through the financial agent of the
Deutsche bank in New York. 1t was
stated that the money was placed at
Bernstorff's disposal by wireless mes
sages in secret code in which fictitious
names were used to represent the parties
participating in the transaction.
Bolo's first appearance as a factor in
international affairs was as financial ad
wiser to Abbas Hilmi, who, in 1914, the
beginning of the war, was khedive of
Egypt. 1t was from the khedive that
Bolo received his title of Pasha By
1915, however, the khedive had been
ousted and Bolo, it is said, was a pen
sioner of his brother, a French priest, in
1914.
In the following year, it is asserted,
the khedve and Bolo met in Switzer-
land and, with the approval of Gottlieb
Won Jagow, then German foreign minis
ter, it was arranged that 100000
marks should be placed to Bolo's ac-
count to influence the French press in
favor OF a premature peace.
The money, it is charged, was trans
'erred to Bolo through New York and a
arge part of it used to purchase an in

SUPPORT FOR ANTI

support by prominent physicians and
public spirited Iaymen for its new work

creased infection OF the civil population,
particularly children, by cases sent back

President Wilson has officially recog-
nized the important part played by the
association at the present time. In a re-
cent letter to its executive secretary he
said:

BOLO PASHA TRIAL
TO WIPE OUT INTRIGUE
Bol0's Case Is Said to Be One of Series
of Inter Related Incidents in the Ger
man Effort to Organize a Propa-
ganda of Depression and Dis
couragement in France

Paris, Feb. Sin bringing to trial
Paul Bolo, or Bolo Pasha, the French
government is endeavoring to disrupt the
whole system of German, intrigue and
propaganda i'll France which in the spring
of 1917 became so bold and effective as
to threaten to defeat Frances efforts to
carry on the war
Bolo's case has been defined as but one
of series of inter=related incidents in
the German effort to organize propa-
ganda of depression and encouragement
among the civilian leaders and soldiers of
France. These involved not only Bolo,
the so-ealed "Levantne fnancier." but
also Joseph Caillaux former premier
OF France, one or more members of the
French Chamber of Deputies, and several
French newspapers. These newspapers
are alleged to have been subsidized by
German money to spread abroad in
France spirit of "defeatism, belief
that there was no hope of beating Ger
many and that France should make haste
to accept the best terms possible
As Boio's connection with the scheme
was the first startling development in
uncovering the plot, his name has since
been applied to the whole system of Ger
man propaganda in France and the new
word "Boloism" was coined
In the attempt to bride French states
men and leaders. and to influence French
opinion by substituting her newspapers or
founding new publications to disseminate
the spirit of pacifism or defeat, it has
been charged that Germany devoted a .
sum of money ranging up to or even ex-
ceedng 100000 marks. Bolo himself
is said to have had the use OF a fund of
81 ,6S3,000 chiefly if not wholly to cor
rupt the French press In what way the
remainder of the corruption fund was
expended had not been made clear up to
the beginning of 1918.

and Bolo but in driving out of office
