sented on the league council %.

ernment, or be included in any Of
those clauses where the parties to
the dispute are excluded from rs

3-That upon two years notice the
United States could cease TO be
a member of the league without hav-
ing the league pass upon whether
she had fulfilled all her obligations
under the covenant.
4-That the functioning Of the
council under Article K shall be
advisory only and that each member
shall be left free to determine ques-
tions of war in its own way, tho
decision of the United States rest
ing with Congress.
S-That the Monroe Doctrine is to
be reserved for admin stration
by the United States
R-That differences between the
nations regarding immigration,
the tariff and other domestic ques-
tions shall not be left TO the league
for settlement.

The possibility Of the nation having

Prehistoric Eskimos
Found in Arctic Ice

Seattle, Wash.-Discovery of pre-
historic Eskimos, their dwellings and
implements, preserved under three
feet Of ice and earth near Barrow,
farthest north point of civilization in
Alaska, was announced Sunday night
by w. B. Van Valin, field expert of
the University OF Pennsylvania, on his
arrival in Seattle from Nome after
two years exploration.
Mr.. Van Valin brought with him
bodies Of Eskimos he found preserved
from decay in the ice, also hundreds
Of skulls and large quantity of i'm
plements and clothing gathered at Bar
row. He expressed the belief that the
village had been hidden thousands of
years. No legend of modern Eskimos
shed light on the antiquity of the
village, he says. The fact that he
found q glacier under the village leads
Mr.. Van Valin to believe the people
lived after the glacial period.
The bodies were in good condition
and most Of them had dark hair, dis.
proving the claim that the aborigines
Of the north were blonde people. The
clothing worn was chiefly bearskins
and not like that worn by the Eskimos
Of today.

Food Prices to Drop2
Per Cent in Month

Washington, d. Good prices are
on the decline, the department Of la
boris bureau Of labor statistics an
nounced Sunday night in statement
asserting that the retail price Of 20
staple foodstuffs showed a decline OF
p per cent at the end Of September,
as compared with the last OF August.
The decrease, based on statistics
from all parts of the country, is the
first to be recorded since the world
war began, with the exception Of a
decline in June, when the food was
five-tenths of / per cent cheaper than
in May. The price of the 20 staple
foodstuffs, however, is still 8S per cent
above the average price for the same
food in 1918.
Five cities of the country failed to
enjoy the slight decline, while in
Detroit prices were lowered per
cent.
Onions and potatoes showed the
greatest price decline, of II and IA
per cent, respectively. Cabbage, meat
cheese, flour and sugar also were low.
or. Raisins went up per cent dur
ing the month and were followed in a
climb of greater or less degree by rice
eggs, salmon, butter, beans, canned
vegetables, coffee and cornmeal.

Knowing this to be a narrative Of
unusual adventure, and one which may
never even be read until long after I
have departed from this world. when
it will be difficult to convince readers
that such times as are herein depicted

endeavor to narrate each incident in
the simplest manner possible. MY

as this all happened, it is more like
the recollections of dream, di1nly re-

chance, might remain so, but for the
scars upon my body, and the constant
memory Of woman's face These
alone combine to bring back in vivid

It was still early morning when we
were brought out under heavy guard
and marched somberly forth through
the opened gates Of the jail. Ahead
we could perceive forest of masts,
and what seemed like a vast crowd of
waiting people. That we had been
sentenced to exile, to prolonged servi-

I stared aft at the poop deck. There
were a number Of persons gathered
along the low rail. probably all passen-

strange group foregathered beside the
lee rail.
There were four In the little party,
one of them negress. Another was
clearly enough a colonial proprietor,
IA heavily built man Of middle age,
purple faced. I passed these by with
"a glance, my attention concentrating
upon the other two-a middle-aged
man and a young woman stand
ing side by side. The former was a
dashing looking blade, of not more
than forty. attired in blue slashed
coat, ornamented with gilt buttons,
and bedecked at collar and cuffs with
a profusion Of lace. A saffron colored
waistcoat failed to conceal his richly
berufied shirt, and the hilt of a rapier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such handles were frequently enough
seen, but it was this mans face which
made marked contrast with his gay
attire. He was dark and hook-nosed
apparently Of foreign birth, with black
mustache tightly clipped, SO as to re-
veal the thin firmness Of his lips, and
even at that distance could perceive
the lines of a scar across his chin. AL.
together there was an audacity to his
face, daring, convincing me he was
no mere lady's knight but one to whom
fighting was trade. He was pointing
us out to his companion, apparently
Joking over our appearance, in an en-
deavor to amuse. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although
her eyes followed where he. pointed
they never once lighted with smile
nor did see her answer his sallies
She was scarcely more than girl

draping her shoulders and q small

mass Of coiled nair. The face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with dark eyes

The greater portion Of that voyage
Of IS days I would blot entirely from
memory II possible. I cannot hope TO-
describe it in any detail-the foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror Of food, the close companion
ship Of men turned into mere animals
by suffering and distress, the weari-
some days, the black, sleepless nights,
the poisonous air, and the brutality Of
guards. can never forget these
things, for they have SCARED my soul
The hatch above remained open, but
carefully guarded night and day, while
we were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only in squads of ten, two
hours out of every twenty-four. This
alone served to break the dread mo-
notony Of the voyage. From our exer-
else on deck we generally returned be-
low drenched to the skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours Of
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
about at sea and sky. We were herd
ed well forward, q rope dividing ms
from the main deck, which space the
passengers aft used as a promenade.
There were only three women aboard,
fat dowager, the young lady had
noticed at embarkation, and her col
0red maid. I gained but one glimpse
Of the young lady In the first two
weeks at sea, and then only as we
were being ordered down to our quar-
f<v fnys "a picrhf Inc xx,or
preaching the hatch to descend our
eyes met fairly, and I instantly knew
she saw and recognized me. For q
single second our glances chung, as
though some mysterious influence held
us to each other-then the angry
guard struck me with the stock of his
piece.
'What er We standin' thar fer?" he
demanded savagely. "Go on down
lively now"
Iysaw her clasping fingers convul-
sively grip the rail, and, even at that
distance, marked sudden flame of
color in her cheeks. That was all her
message to me, yet quite enough. Al
though we had never spoken, although
our names were yet unknown, was
no criminal to her mind, no unrecog-
nized prisoner beneath contempt, but
a human being in whom she already
felt personal interest, and to
whom she extended thought and SYM
pathy. continued entirely ignorant
of the identity Of the young woman.
She remained In my memory, in my
thoughts nameless, a dream rather
than reality. I did learn that the
gay gallant was a wealthy Spaniard,
supposedly Of high birth, by name
Sanchez, and at one time in the naval
service, and likewise ascertained that
the rotund planter was certain Roger
Fairfax Of Saint Mary's in Maryland,
homeward bound after a successful
sale Of his tobacco crop In London. It
was during his visit to the great city
that he had met Sanchez, and his
praise Of the colonies had induced the
latter to essay a voyage in his COM
pany to America. But strange enough
no one SO much as mentioned the girl
in connection with either man.

PRESIDENT SAID TO
HAVE BRAIN LESION
Partial Paralysis Of Face IS
Reported.
BULLETINS MEA6ER
Senator Moses Describes Condition Of
President, but Draws Anger
Of Medical Men.
BULLETINS ]. MEAG.ER

Washington, d. C.-Rumors as to
President Wilson's condition supplant-
ed all other discussion Monday as IA
result Of the publication Of Senator
Moses letter to q constituent saying
that Mr.. Wilson suffered cerebral
lesion either at Pueblo. Colo, or just
afterward, which had caused q slight
facial paralysis.
The presidents physicians came in
for much criticism, the charge being
that they have been withholding facts
from the public. Further comment
was aroused when the afternoons
White house statement failed to deny
the specific reports that have been
the subject of gossip for more than
ten days in Washington.
II the statement given out Monday
Is correct, one report which was cur
rent in the earlier stage Of the presi-
dents illness would appear to be with
out foundation. This report was that
Mr.. Wilson was suffering from cere-
bral arterial schlerosis and that his
condition was almost identical with
that which caused the death Of Cover
nor Ernest Lister of Washington.
1t was partly in REPUTATION of this
rumor, doubtless, that the medical
statement said: pulse and respira-
ton rate, heart action and blood pres
sure are normal and have been from
the onset of his illness"
Several eastern newspapers, includ-
ing the New York World, leading ad-
ministration organ, have either in
their news or editorial accused the
presidents physicians and attendants
of not being candid with the public,
insisting that the country is entitled
to know all of the truth. !
| The noon edition Of the Washington
Times said that the White house ply
sicians would make a detailed state
ment as to the presidents condition
during the afternoon, taking the pub
lie fully into their confidence, and
when the usual brief and evasive bull
letin was issued dissatisfaction was
everywhere noted.
The criticism comes mainly from
the known friends of the president,
men who have been in close touch
with the White house ever since Mr..
Wilson has been the occupant.
One of these when asked what he
thought Of the Moses letter, said:
"You will notice that Senator Moses
is not taking back anything he said
and he doesn't have to deny it."
One significant fact in connection
with the presidents condition is that
Secretary Tumulty was not permitted
to see him from the time Of his return
from the west until last Friday, and
such wall has been built about him
that only one or two persons aside
from the physicians and Mrs. Wilson
know exactly the degree Of his illness

Seattle.--An increase Of more than
10000 people is shown by Seatle's 1919
directory, now completely compiled
and to be distributed after the trouble

number of names and addresses in
the new directory will exceed 5000.
To arrive at an approximate popula-
ton the Polk Directory company mul.
tiplies the number Of names in its
