MuzxIe Rule Applies to Wilson.

Paris, Jan. 15.-No one outside the
delegates to the peace congress KNOWS
anything about the discussions which
preceded today's decision to keep pro-
ceeding of the congress secret and 10
limit information divulged to officia!
statements.
This decision will preclude the Amer
ican delegates, even Mr.. Wilson him.
self, from discussing the formal an
nouncements that are issued. 1t will
likewise stop the practice OF Premier
Lloyd-George of Great Britain. dis
cussing affairs with British corre-
spondents for the purpose of guiding
them in forming public opinion in
London.
1t has been believed here by persons
close TO President, Wilson that he
would contend for open sessions so FAR
as possible. That he still feels the
same way is the opinion expressed here
tonight.
Curiously enough the question OF
whether deliberations were to be opeh
or secret had reached stage before
today's decision where some author
itative statement on the subject was
I.
Secretary Of state Robert Lansing
authorized the following as his view:
american policy Is that fullest
publicity consistent with the rapid and
satisfactory discharge of important
business which must come before the
peace congress should be accorded. 1T
is possible that sessions should be
open when business is advanced to
point where It can be regarded as
ready for final action. 1t may be, how
ever. that in the earlier stage. when
subjects are being discussed between
groups or In committees or In meet
ings of all the delegates, with a pur-
pose of reached agreements on con-
troversial phases, 1t would be inadv!s-
able to conduct these discussions open
ly. There might never be an agree
ment otherwise.
That would not be secret diplomacy
In any sense, however, for no agree
ments 20 arranged could be effective
until approved by all the delegates il:
open session."

SKELETON OF EIGHTEEN-FOOT
GIANT UNEARTHED IN TEXAS

Austin, Tex.-If the report that
the fossilized skeleton of giant IS
feet tall has been found near Sey-
mour, Tex, is true, it is the most i'm
portant chronological discovery ever
made in the world" remarked DR.. ].
E. Pearce, professor of, anthropology
of the University of Texas. at would
break all previous records of giants
by nearly ten feet, as the tallest man
known to anthropological research
was only feet five inches in height.
The skeleton is in possession Of
W. j. Mckinney, Houston, oil pros
pector, who found it, and has been
seen by number of people who
vouch for the truth of the size of the
relic of heretofore unknown race.
Mr.. Mckinney, while making an
excavation on the narrow watershed
between the Brazos and Wichita Riv-
er came upon the fossilized skele- !
ton near the surface. Mr.. Mckinney
writes:
81 estimate that this man weighed
from 1000 to $500 pounds. Accord
ing to my deduction, he lived about
$500 years ago. The skull is six
times the size of that of an ordinary
man."
Mr.. Mckinney does not explain
how he arrived at the figures as to
the probable period of the existence
of this remarkable man. It is prob
able that the bones of the giant will
be donated to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, which, under the direction Of
DR.. J. Walker Fewkes, is now con-
ding anthropOlogical reasearch work
