Undoubted Truth.

anxious for Information. Coming to
a massive archway adorned with sculp-
lures. spanning the street, one of the
party went up to man who was
working at the side of the arch and
asked: "Can you please tell us what

the man replied: "This? This is a

came out to the middle of the street
where the visitors were standing and
looked perhaps more attentively at
the arch than he had ever done in his
life before. Though willing. he could
give no Information; he didn't seem
to know its name even. "Weel," he

CLEMENCEAU PRAISES SCOUTS

On the day of march-past of the
French boy scouts before President
Polncare, the minister of war, NJ.
Clemenceau (nicknamed 1.-THE Tiger')
received an ovation from the scouts.
1t was evident that the boy scouts
particularly took his fancy, and when
they had marched past he poured out
his congratulations ON their smart an
pearance.
In a speech of his a few days later
on the armistice he pointed out that
just as the soldiers had up to that
moment been the most important
people In the country, all must now
look forward to forming an equally
strong force of men for insuring peace
and prosperity that should follow the
war. The 'poilus de La guerre" must
be succeeded by the "poilus de la
paix."
AS he was the inspiring leader of
the former 1t Is only natural that he
should have now been asked to be the
leader of the French scouts, a posi-
ton he has just accepted with the title
of chief scout.

that Gen. Sir Robert S. S. Baden
Powell Will visit the Boy Scouts of
America either in May or June-at
such time as convenient to the organ
ization here.
Since the Boy Scouts of America
have been asked by the French gov
eminent to take leadership in formu-
lating an educational program along
scouting lines, much attention is being
drawn to the possibilities of closer in
ternational relations among the great
scout brotherhood.
One of the matters that the lead
ers In this country will discuss with
General Baden-Powell, the founder Of
the boy scouts, Is the furthering of a
closer international bond.

SKETCH OF PREHISTORIC MAY
Early Painting Proves That Thousands
Of Centuries Ago Humanity
Walked on Four Feet.

The Paris Figaro gives an account
Of recent remarkable discovery Of
paintings In prehistoric cave Of
South France. In particular, sketch
has been found of man who went
on all fours and possessed a tail. The
account runs, in part:
Count Begouen and his sons dis
covered on the walls of the subterra-
mean galleries some engravings esti-
mated to be 10000 years old, and In
such quantity and variety that the ex-
traordlnary ensemble Of prehistoric
art work constitutes q veritable mu-
scum.
1.-THE animals figured in the cave are
considerable In number, and include
RENDERS bisons, horses both isolated
and In groups bears. elephants and
rhinosceroses. The representation Of
fellnes are very rare in prehistoric
art, but NM. Begouen have photo
graphed In their cave a genuine lion,
executed in bas-relief. They have made
out, also, several birds, including
swans aud ducks, as well as three
predatory night flyers.
"The human. figure Is likewise repre-
scented In the cave. which, In recogni-
ton of the sons of Count Begouen. has
been baptized the Cave of the Three

Changes German Troops.

Berlin.-Under the new republic the
departments of the army and navy
are no more, in name at least. The
republics name for them is defense,
and they are placed under charge Of
Gustav N0ske, much trusted by the
government for his prompt action in
emergencies, and much hated by the
Spartacars for his relentless opposi-
ton when disorders break out.
Noske's appointment as head of the
navy, as well as the army, was regard
ed nope too seriously, by Noske him
self, st least. When asked by news
paper man what he expected to do
about the naval affairs of Germany in
the future, Noske laughed and replied:
why worry about naval affairs, when
we haven't any navy?'
There are still sailors In big num-
bers in Germany, however, and they
have been problem. During the revo-
luton the sailors played an important
part and most of them developed such
liking to land duty in Berlin and the
other big cities that they have refused
TO leave for Kiel or any of the har-
bors. Now the sailors are used in the
guard regiments all over Germany,
along with soldiers.
Big Army Disappears.
The German army is In process of
reorganization. Immediately after the
armistice the army almost disappeared
as an organized unit, and though there
were millions of men in uniform scat
tered all over the land none was re-
sponsible to anyone, and officers were
not safe in uniform. In localities the
soldiers Joined "Red guard groups,
and some served and others misused
their privileges. Thus the army as 1t
was known in the old days practically
vanished, except for few divisions
under Hindenburg, camped behind the
Rhine, and the troops along the Polish
border.
Now the only army of the field that
Germany has Is In the east to guard
against the Poles. 1t Is commanded
by Hindenburg and Is supposed to be
not more than 10000 or 10000 men,
If II numbers that many. However.
government troops are scattered over
the country in every big city and in
industrial centers to guard against
disorders. The big problem is keep

servants of the church. which latter
it was the announced Intention of tne
bolsheviki to exterminate.
The evidence disclosas almost I'M
thinkable atrocities. A blacksmith, by
economies, had attained shop. He
was required to pay 5000 rubles; be-
cause he could not, he was shot. A
man was shot because he lived In a
brick house. All attorneys and jurists
were killed, and doctors, whose serv.
were disposed of in similar manner.
A woman whose husband and two
sons had been seized applied to the
commissar for information as to their
fate. She was told they had been
taken to Perm. After repeating her
visit several times she was informed
that If she bothered the commissar
again she would be shot, as they had
been.
The body of a woman was eXhumed
and identified in the presence of the
Americans as the wife of a general
through jewels sewed in the lining Of
her clothing, of which relatives were
aware. Another woman was compelled
to fetch lamp and gaze upon her
murdered sons for the amusement Of
the slayers.
A wife required to pay 1000 rubles

returned with the remainder, and then
was informed that her husband had
been shot. There were scores of SINH
lar cases. All were killed without any
form of trial.
The soviet called meeting and pre-
pared lists of those to die. The houses
prescribed were visited by squads, the
doors were smashed in, and the VIC
tins dragged to the edge of the town
and forced to dig their own graves.
Those who resisted were shot In the
streets.
A survivor testified that he had seen
men thrown into pit and buried
alive. This testimony has been con-
firmed by bodies exhumed, the clenched
hands of which were clinging to the
mud at the bottom of the pit.
The only spark of humanity discov.
able was that in confiscating the be-
longings of the residents. In some in
stances where there was family of
small children, the family was permit
ted to retain one COW out of several.
Occasionally peasant was allowed to
keep his worst horse.
The bolshevik attitude toward the
church was uncompromising. Priests
were hunted numerically. The evi.
dence showed that men were slain
whose only offense was that they
worked as sections or caretakers OF
churches.

Depends on Peace Terms.
Germany's army is in transitory
state. What 1t will become depends
upon the peace terms, the Germans
recognize. But there has evidently
been a change in idea ID. the govern
ment. Early in the revolution Ebert
declared himself against a conscripted
army, and Noske and Reinhard were
appointed to organize volunteer forces,
serving for short periods, to defend
the new government. AS Il matter of
fact the troops used for interior de-
tense are all volunteers, mostly young
men, serving for three or six months
at good pay.
The policy of the new republic will
be against CONSUMPTION in theory, de-
clares President Ebert, but there Is not
