Washington, Sept G.-Facing the

to get Japan into the war was 'erro-

Senator Norris, and he knew what
was presented there and what the facts
are. 1t is a matter of history that
Great Britain and the other allies did
not make that secret agreement with
Japan until 1917. At the same time
that the agreement was made, all of

AMERICAN MISSION REACHES
CONSTANTIN0PLE: INTEREST
IN MANDATE PLAN AR0U SED

Constantinople, Monday, Sept. l.
delayed THE American mission un-
der Major General Harbord to study the
situation in the near East has arrived
here and interest has increased respect
ing the possible acceptance by the Unit
ed States of mandate i'm Armenia or
of the Ottoman empire, including Con
stantinople, or as to whether Great
Britain will share the burden.
Americans here do not favor an Ar
menian mandate alone, but a blanket
mandate giving control politically
against future wars, introducing "a suit
able civil government and developing
commerce on Il big scale.
1t is pointed out that the difficulties
between the Turks and Armenials are
but a part of the whole problem. The
il-treatment of the Armenians has been
due partially to their commercial supe
riority to the Turks and partly to their
national aspirations, which have arous
ed jealousies resulting in oppression
This oppression has not been character
istic of the Turks. but has been common
in every country by the central empires
in the near East.

sibility that bOlshevism may spread
in threatening proportions to the
United States unless the peace treaty
is ratified promptly was suggested by
President Wilson in an address here
tonight.
The whole world was waiting un-
easily, he said, while the poison
which had wrecked Russia was
spreading among peoples who did not
yet know what guarantees they were
TO be for liberty in the new
world order. Labor and capital
in the United States, he asserted
could not proceed intelligcntly with
their settlement, nor could great prob
lens like the railroad situation be
solved while the suspense continued.
Mr.. Wilson defended the Shantung
provision of the treaty and said the
league covenant section referring TO
the Monroe doctrine had been insert
ed TO give the Monroe doctrine right
Of way in the western hemisphere. D."
lie declared his conviction that ii
would do so.

BODY OF PREHISTORIC
MAN, IL FEET LONG,
Is FOUND IN MICHIGAN

Lansing. Mich, Sept. G.-What is
thought to be the body of a prehistoric
man, II feet in length, was found bur
led in the yard Of a Jackson policeman
while eXcavating work was being done
there Friday.
The body, it is said by physicians
who examined it, is in a perfect state
Of preservation, even to the hair on
the head and the teeth, which show
no signs of decay. The physicians gave
it as their opinion that the body was
genuine.
The spot where the body was found
was occupied till a few years ago by
large mound of earth, il was said, and
specimens of petrified animal and veg
etable matter have been found there,
supporting the prehistoric-man theory.
The legs of the body are six feet long;
the arms, four. The head is round with
a face nearly flat, while tn, skin is
tightly drawn and resembles brown
leather. A stake, rotted, protruded
from the chest of the body, which ap-
peared mumified.

bones Of st. George, England's patron
saint, which were unearthed by some
Australian engineers beneath the floor
of a church in Palestine, should be
sent to London. so that they might
rest i'm some corner of Westminster Alb
hey. The suggestion is not being re-
ceived with delight by the abbey author
tiles.

bones" said Canon r. II. Charles of
Westminster, who spoke as II member
of the chapter. "There is only room
for six more famous people in the abbey,

before they are inferred; so what is the
good of bringing his bones here to he

appreciation.
One of the movie" men accompany
ing the presidential party got an un,
expected chance for a CLOSE up of
the president, when Secretary Tumulty
helped boost him over the rail to the
platform to take the surging crowd.
After training his camera on the crowd,
the operator turned and got a good pic
ture of the president as he stood chat
ting.
Here, stop that" Mr.. Wilson said
goodnaturedly, you must not do that
behind a mans back" He then came
over and patted the ''movie" operator
on the back.
All along the route patriotic decora-

THE FIRST WELL WAS GOOD;
THE SECOND BETTER; THE
THIRD STILL BETTER AND

Three hundred barrels in forty min
utes, is the record Of the third well
at Hewitt. The second well was better
than the first, the third is better than
the second and there is a mighty good
chance that the Westheimer x Daube
we'll, a northeast offset to the discov-
cry well, will make ! ,OOO barrels
The discovery well began early in
June to put oil in the pipe line and
it is flowing at this time An ordi-
nary well would have been placed ON
the pump weeks ago. The second well
is making more gas and the oil is com
ing with greater force and freedom
and still the third well is better than
either one Of the other two.
The entire Hewitt tieid is a busy
scene. Two new rigs, both Of which
are owned by Wesheimer Il Daube,
have been completed a short distance
east of the discovery well, ana the
Texas Company has timbers on the
ground in that direction.
1t is usual for one producer to wait
on another in a new field, but there
has never been any wait and watch
period with Hewitt. Every producer
has played his own game ana is will
ing to take chances on getting a pay
sand.
When Writ Franklin moved in a rig
ON the Thompson farm, in n, the Car
ter Oil Company did not wait. 1t went
to drilling an offset and the Wolverine
became busy in the same part of the
field.
There is an unusual confidence pre-
vailing among producers. Hewitt is
regarded as a big field.
Local oil investors should be able
to profit out of their experience in
other fields When a new oil area is
discovered opinion as to the trend of
the field is formed and all the invest
ors want to so in that direction This
makes prices high in one or two dl-
rections, while lands in other directions
are not 50 high.
Healdton was played in the wrong
direction. Fox was played in the wrong
direction and will history now repeat
itself and will Hewitt be played in
the wrong direction?
