MEX PYRAMIDS
ARE MYSTERY
GOVERNMENT TRYING TO SOLVE
PROBLEM OF WHO BUILT
TOWN

MEXICO CITY, Aug. S.-Arch-
geological Investigations by a gov
ernmental commission to solve the
mystery of who built the great pyra
mids at San Juan Teotihuacan, 81
miles from Mexico City, have
brought to light two great granite
heads of the ancient Mexican god
of the air, Quetzalcoatl. These
heads r almost perfect specimens,
bearing all the symbolic markings.
The long disputed point as to who
erected the pyramids is, as yet, I'M
solved. These huge mounds, one
to the sun and the other to the
moon. the former being 761 by 721
feet at the base and ZIG feet high,
are generally attributed to a tribe
that preceded the Toltecs probably
dating from about the sixth cen
fury.

vOODOO W0RSH|PERS
ARE LYNCHED IN CUBA
WHITE PERSONS SAID TO TAKE
PART IN NEGRO
MEETINGS

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. With
the recent sudden outbreak of can
nibalistic practices by Voodoo wOr-
shippers, which have resulted in the
deaths of at least three innocent
children and a half dozen of the
Voodoos, the latter by the applica-
ton of the Lynch" law for the first
time in this country's history, faith
ers and mothers are living in con-
slant fear that their little ones
may be spirited away by the super
stitious negroes to be offered up in
sacrifice to Change" the god of
the "Brujos," as they r called in
the Castillian language.
The Voodoos are divided in vari-
Gus sects, each with a separate god.
The latter include "Babsgueye." god
of sickness; t"Elecua" god of in
jury; "Olorrun," god of misery, and
Change" the terrible god, to whom
human sacrifices are made.
Change" according to the Woo
doc belief, was the son of Quorum
and Anaragua. He was slain by
Elecua, the god of injury, and as
cended into heaven from Ceibo, or
god-tree, in the month of May. 1t
is in the month of May therefore,
that the "Brujos'' observe their
Holy week when Change is expected
to make weekly visit to the earth,
descending by the Ceiba. his sacred
tree, always on Monday.
The followers of Elecua do not
directly offer human. sacrifices, al
though their healers sacrifice the
lives of some patients. by giving
them poisonous connections. sup
posedly a mysterious cure for some
ailment, in order to restore to
health some other patient. Elecua,
being the god of injury, his fol-
lowers believe that good cal come
to one person only through injury
to another.
Voodooism is not practiced by
the negroes alone. Many white per-
sons also are said to secretly take
part in their religious meetings and
accusations have been heard in var
ious quarters of the difficulties en-
countered by officers seeking to
break up their temples because of
the obstacles placed in their way
by persons of influence.
An active campaign by the au-
thorities in Havana and other parts
of the island have resulted i n the
capture of numerous 'Brujos" and
the seizure of many curious and
weird objects used by them.

here, SO l have given up hope for the
sun to shine again before spring.
Fourteen of us started from the
field yesterday morning at $50 o'clock
In truck for the north. You know
Toul is only little way south of
where the Americans did such heavy
fighting in pushing in the st. Mihiel
salient.
"On the first part Of the trip we
saw the American reserve lines with
miles of barbed wire stretching in front
Of them. In Bernecourt we saw evil
dences of bombardment, a few houses
having been hit by Shells Going north

abrupt gully and on the side of this
dip in the earth, the Germans had con-

different levels. One-evidently that

north, the Americans occupied these

the Germans when they retreated.
In the woods on both sides of the
road the Germans had extensive camps
and we explored a number of them, but
did not find anything worth picking
up as the places had already been
ransacked by the American troops. We
went through st. Benoit to Wool and
then started back over the same road.
We passed close to Thiancourt, on the
way.
