is OLDEST LIVING LANGUAGE
Speech of Lithuanian Peasants Rec
ounlzed as the Most Ancient
Still on Human Lips.

"VlrI trahite jugum"-"Men, drag
the yoke"-slghed the Roman poll
tlcian when Nero turned down the re-
quest Of the Amalgamated Togamak-
ers' union for an eight-hour day and
raised taxes to pay for the autumn
series of orgies and new fiddle.
"Vyrai, trauklte jungan," echoes the
Lithuanian of the present day, as he
and his fellow refugees shoulder their
packs and set out for the return trip
to the farms whence they were driven
before Lithuania had set up It's pres
ent republican form of self-goVernment.
This striking similarity between the
modern Lithuanian and the ancient
Latin language is no mere coincidence
applying to those few words only.
Lithuanian is the Oldest living Ian
guage In the world today. 1t resem-
bles most the primitive Sanskrlt and Is
probably older than Greek or Latin,
with which phllologists find II has
much In common. 1t is entirely differ
ent from German and the Slavic
tongues.
Prof. A. Millet Of the College Of
France says: 'If you wish to hear
from the human lips some echo of
what the language originally common
to the Indo- European may have been,
go and listen to Lithuanian peasants
talking"

SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK
French Business Men Realize That
Their System Of Freight Transport
tation 10 Obsolete.

That the war brought to France an
object lesson in the utility of the
motortruck as means of freight
transportation appears in plans now
under way to develop long haul
system. II Is hoped thereby to quicken
the movement of goods and lessen
the impotence of various business
interests with the slowness Of rail-
way and waterway traffic. The prnc-
tlcabllity OF the motortruck as
freight carrier was a revelation to
Frenchmen of business who had de-
pended In normal times on what would
be held an abnormally slow service.
From Havre to Paris by boat means
often journey OF at least three
months, and Mt the quickest, which
requires special arrangement with the
government, takes about four weeks.
Commenting on railroad transporta-
ton between Paris and the seaports,
a Paris business man Is reported as
saying that from Havre one must ex-
pect a delay of one or two months,
from Bordeaux delay of two or
three months, and that "when goods
for Paris reach Marsellles they stny
there" The humorous exaggeratIon
illustrates the condition which Is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project Of long hauls by motortrucks,
solution which will probably de-
velop because the nation is already
provided with excellent roads.

EvADEO LAW THIRTEEN YEARS
Noted indian Outlaw Forced by Aztec
tIon to Surrender to Police Of
British Columbia.

Simon Gun-a-noot, notorious Indian
outlaw and bad man." has expert
enced change of heart. He has
given himself up after evading the
police and the white mans law for IS
years. says Vancouver (B. c. dis
patch to the Toronto Globe.
Among his trlbesmen In northern
British Columbia the elusive Gun-a-
moot was regarded as great hero, not
because of his success In evadlng the
law, but because of his great feats Of
strength. his prowess as hunter his
mastery with the rifle, and his intense
religious fervor. Undoubtedly the af.
fection of his trlbesmen assisted
greatly In his remaining at large so
long. OF the vast resources of north
ern British Columbia he probably
knows more than any white man. This
Is said to be especially true Of mineral
wealth.
During the IL years Simon has been
a fugitive from justice he is said to
have never been out of british Co
IumbIa. The government has spent
$4,000 to get him, wlthaut success.
His reasons for surrendering, he says,
were to obtain civilized comforts for
his sick wife and education for his
children.
Simon will face trial on a charge
Of numbering Alex Mcintosh and Max
lie Clair, two white traders whose bod
les were found on the trail outside
Hazelton, b. G. 1t is alleged that 81
mon fought with them, claiming that
he did SO because they gave his young
wife liquor.

War on Yellow Fever.

The international health board
UOckefPllcr FoundatlOn) continues
10 wage relentless war against yellow
fever In the parts Of the world that
are regarded MS the seedbeds Of this
dIsense. II Is hoped that by this radi-
ral plan yellow fever may eventually
be altogether eliminated from the
world. An epidemic was reported In
Guatemala In June, 1918. The board
dispatched DR.. Joseph II. White to the
scene, and an energetic campaign was
organized, resulting In freeing Guate-
mala from the disease In few
months. Late In the year corps OF
1876 men was put to work destroying
stegOmyia mosquitoes in the city OF
Guayaquil Ecuador, for the purpose
Of Kidding that city Of yellow fever.
Since Inst November the yellow fever
work Of the international health board
has been directed by General GOrgas,
late surgeon general Of the army.
