Much Wasted Money.

The economic Importance Of pa!eon'
tology has been repeatedly shown in
this country. In the earlier expioita-
ton OF anthracite coal thousands OF
dollars were fruitlcSs.y expended in
New York in search Of coal beds until
the New York geologists showed that
the beds in that state could contain
no coal. The fossils in the New York
rocks exploited are of Devonian age'
whereast tho fossils OF tho Pennsyl-
vanian anthracite coal beds belong to
the Carboniferous, much later pc,
riod. This discovery at once stopped
a useless expenditure of money.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August led
ward T. Leech. editor Of the Memphis
Press, a local afternoon newspaper,

Tell Of League Sympathy.

In most of the editorials Viscount
Grey's sympathy with the league OF
nations is dwelt upon. though the
telegraph remarks he has not re-
vealed whether he champions the par
ticular form of the league incorporat-
ed in the peace treaty.
The Chronicle regards it as particu-
larly fortunate he is going to America
now, saying for, with his rare tact
and knowledge. he will be especially
qualified to take council both with
President Wilson and those who are
not satisfied with all the terms OF the
league of nations covenant"
AS regards the league, the Daily
News materially tempers its other
wise adverse criticism by saying that
Great Britain could have no better
representative than Viscount Grey.
1.-The league needs not so much com
mendation as explanation to America,
the newspaper says. land II Viscount
Grey is able to take an active part In
that work he will render a notable
service to mankind"

FRENCH AND ITALIANS
OPTIMISTIC OVER FIUME
Foreign Minister Tittoni Turning
His Attention to Vexa-

Daily News. Copyright, 1919
PARIS, France. August 11.-Now
that he has reached an agreement
with Venizelos regarding Albania,
Thrace and Asia Minor, Foreign Min
lister Tittoni of Italy is turning his
attention again to the vexatious ques-
ton Of Fiume. He has held numerous
conversations Of late on this subject
with Premier Clemenceau and NJ. Tar
d1eu Of the French peace mission. His
aim evidently is first to reach an
agreement with France and then with
Great Britain, feeling that if these
two can be made to conciliate their
points of view with that Of Italy then
the American opposition will collapse
Of itself.
Despite various reports printed in the
newspapers announcing solutions that
are irreconcilable am able to say
that no agreement has been arrived at
even with France up to the present
time. although both the French and
the Italians are optimistic. AS soon as
the announcement is made that M
Tittoni is about to take a trip to Lon
don 1t may be assumed that an agree
ment with the French has been COM
pleted and that negotiations with the
British are about to begin.

TENDER RUSSIAN THRONE
TO PRINCE ROMANOWSKY
Monarchists Name Member Of
Family Of Which Gear Mich
olas Was Head.

LONDON. August IS (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-A bolshevik wireless
message received here asserts that
after a meeting of Russian mon
archists in Siberia the Russian throne
was offered to the Duke of Romanow-
sky. a member Of the cadet, or young
err, branch of the Romanoff family
headed by former Emperor Nicholas.
The dispatch adds that the duke &C
cepted the offer.
The Duke of Romanowsky referred
to probably is Prince Alexander Ro-
manowsky. head of the house of
Beauharnais and son of the late Duke
Georges Maximilianovitch and The
reese, Duchess of Oldenburg. He also
bears the title Duke of Leuchtenberg.
The Romanowsky family is connected
with the nobility of Italy. Bavaria
and France. Prince Alexander is
thirty mine years old.

Sees Mandates as Handicap.

The newspaper. however, says that
the new ambassador will be handi-
capped in this work by the proposal
of the British government that re-
gions over which Great Britain holds
mandates shall be brought within the
British imperial tariff union, and it
says "his path will not be smoothed
by the governments sustained refusal
to make any approach to solution Of
the Irish problem"
Apart from such criticism the ap-
pointment of Viscount Grey is ap-
proved and 1t Is believed he will be
wholly acceptable to the United States.
The viscount. it is learned. has not
yet decided when he will go to Wash
ington, although announcement Of his
plans is expected soon. His poor eye
sight. which has given him much trou-
BILE, caused him to consent to only q
short term as ambassador. A year ago
it was heard he might become blind.
but since then his eyes have improved.
although he still does little reading
or writing.

Questions arising out of the peace
settlement, which. Bonar Law an

ton Of viscount Grey. the new Brit
ish am bassador to the United States.
are understood here to include q
reimbursement of the complicated f1nan-
cial relations between Great Britain
and he United States growing out
of loans and credits advanced by this
government.
There also must be a recastfng OF
many existing treaties between the
two countries, necessitated by the
radical changes following the war.
Many Of these conventions date back
for more than a century and were said
by officials to have been applied to
modern conditions only by the ex-
ercise Of the greatest liberality Of
construction.

Scores Emergency Appointment.

The Daily News severely scores the
government for making an "emer-
gency appointment" adding: TO
choose a statesman who for more
than two years has been out of touch
with active political life is, to say the
least, a singular proceeding"
The newspaper, which is an admirer
of Viscount Grey. says his task will
be singularly delicate. his power be-
ing at best limited.
The Post. which is an opponent of
Viscount Grey politically, neverthe-
less assumes that America will regard
his appointment as a compliment, as
he is notable Englishman, but it
hopes that Viscount Grey will not for
get Americans respect a man who
stands firmly upon the rights and in
terests of his own nation. In the past
there has been a weak tradition of
surrender at Washington. due mainly
to the pusillanimous and unmanly
policy of the government at home.

LONDON, August 14.-Viscount
Grey's acceptance Of the appointment
of temporary British ambassador to
proval by the press here, which
eulogizes his public services and for
the most part regards his appoint
ment as excellent. There is, however,
dissatisfied criticism in some quar-

Grey's fitness or his acceptability, but
of the extraordinary responsibilities
attaching to the post at this moment.
Doubt is expressed whether the nam
ing of a temporary ambassador Is
suitable for this reason.
