Theft of Giant Skeleton From Pataqo-

-, crat

BuenoS AireS.-WhO stole the great
PatagOnian dinosaurs?
This is a question the newspapers
are asking, and it is also a question
with which DR.. Carlos AmeghinO, di-
rector of the BuenOS Aires Museum of
Natural History, would like to have
answered.
The dinosaurs, Or rather its Skele-
ton, was not stolen from the museum,
it should be explained, but from the
soil of Patagonia, near Neuquen,
where, in a remarkable state of pres
ervatiOn, 1t was discovered by some
English engineers year ago during
the excavation of an irrigation ditch.
They notified Arthur Smith Wood
ward, naturalist Of the British mu-
scum, of the find, who, in turn, COM
municated with DR.. AmeghinO.
From the description of the engi-
neerS it appeared the dinosaurs was
monster, even for dinOSauri, and of
a new species.

Versailles on the twenty-eighth of
June last, which did seek to accom-
plish the objects which we had de-
clared to be in our minds, because all
the great governments and peoples
which united against Germany had
adopted our declarations of purpose
as their own and had in solemn form
embodied them in communications to
the German government preliminary
to the armistice Of November IL, 1918.
Action of Senate.
"But the treaty as signed at YER
sailles has been rejected by the SEN
ate of the United States, though it has
been ratified by Germany
"By that rejection and by it's meth
DDS we had in effect declared that we
wish to draw apart and pursue objects
and interests Of our own, unhampered
by any connections of interest or Of
purpose with other governments and
peoples.
Notwithstanding the fact that upon
our entrance into the war we professed
nance of common interests nothing is
said in this resolution about the free
dom of navigation upon the seas, or
the reduction of ornaments, or the vim
dicat1on of the rights of Belgium, or
the rectification of wrongs done to
France, or the release of the Chris
tan population of the Ottoman en-
pire from the intOlerable subjugatiOn
which they have had for so many gen.
eratiOnS to endure, or the establish
ment of an Independent Polish state,
kind Of understanding among the great
powers Of the world which would be
calculated to prevent in the future
such outrages as Germany attempted,
and in part cOnsummated.
"Such a peace with Germany-a
peace in which none Of the essential
interests which we had at heart when
we entered the war is safeguarded-is,
or ought to be, inconceivable is incon-
sistent with the dignity of the United
States, with the rights and liberties Of
her citizens and with the very funda-
mental conditions of civilization.
81 hope that in these statements I
have sufficiently set forth the reasons
why I have felt it incumbent upon me
to withhold my signature.

PEACE RESOLUTION
VETOED BY WILSON
President Calls 1t Stain on u. S.
Honor.
DRAWS TREATY PARALLEL
Executive, in Returning Knox Measure
to Senate, Says 1t Surrenders
American Rights So Far AS
Germany Is Concerned.

Washington, May 28.-The Repub-
Thursday by President Wilson.
Such a method of making peace
with Germany, the president said,
would place an ineffaceable stain
upon the gallantry and honor Of the
United States"
Text of Message.
The presidents message follows:
ITO the House Of Representatives:
81 return herewith, without my sig
nature, house joint resolution 327, in
tended to repeal the joint resolution
of April 6, 1917, declaring a state of
war to exist between the United States
and Germany, and the joint resolution
of December Z, 1917, declaring state
Of war to exist between the United
States and the Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent, and to declare a state of
peace.
II have not felt at liberty to sign
this joint resolution because l cannot
bring myself to become party to an
able stain upon the gallantry and hon
or Of the United States.
"The resolution seeks to establish
peace with the German empire with
out exacting from the German gov
eminent any action by way Of setting
right the infinite wrongs which it did
to the peoples whom it attacked and
whom we professed to assist when we
entered the war.
"Have we sacrificed the lives Of
more than 100000 Americans and
ruined the lives of thousands of others
and brought upon thousands of Ameri-
can families an unhappiness that can
never end for purposes which we do
not now care to state or take further
steps to attain?
Refers to Treaty.
''The attainment of these purposes
is provided for in the treaty Of Yer
sailles by terms deemed adequate by
the leading statesmen and experts of
all the great peoples who were associ-
ated in the war against Germany! DO
we now not care to join in the effort
to secure them?
"This joint resolution, which I re-
turn, does not seek to accomplish any
of these objects, but in effect makes
a complete surrender of the rights of
the United States.

Egyptian Authorities Interfere When
Two Villages Engage in Bloody
Battle.

CairO.-An assize case has ended
held in Egypt for years. 1t originated
in vendetta, not between families
but between two whole villags, Hami-
dat and Ashraf, near Keneh, Upper
Egypt northeast Of the ruins Of
Thebes
One hundred and fifty years ago
a dog from the village Of Hamidat
bit an Ashraf man, who died. A
quarrel followed between his relatives
and the owner Of the Hamidat dog,
which developed till all the inhabi-
tants Of Ashraf considered that all
persons Of Hamidat blood were guilty
Of the death. The hatred Of one vii
lage for the other became hereditary,
and assassination was common be-
tween them whenever the conditions
,bf the country favored disorder.
Last spring Ashraf attacked Ham
idat in force. A score of Hamida-
tians were killed, 120 houses were
burned and harvests were carried
off.
Hamidat remembered the dog and
bit back, killing 16 of the assailants
These slayers have just been tried
II accused being brought up and one
lawyer briefed for every five persons

1t is noteworthy that the vendetta
did not include women, who during
$50 years had INDUCED only in YER
bal warfare.

Bitter Contests
Expected When
Socialists Meet

New York, May 11.-A bitter con-
test over the adoption of the party
platform was promised today when the
national convention of the socialist
party was reconvened. The Illinois
delegation which yesterday character
lied the tentative platform presented
by Morris Hillquit as too moderate,
announced its intention of submitting
a substitute platform. which would be
similar to the radical program of the
socialists in Germany, Russia, Italy
and France.
William F. Kruse of Chicago declar-
ed that the substitute platform would
do away with useless words and
phrases" He said the Hillquit docu-
ment would put the socialist party in
the light of trying ito become too re.
spectacle and that it might just as
well be the platform of the democratic
or republican party.
The convention has set Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock as the time for
nominating candidate for president
and vice-president of the United
States.

Salem Cleans Up
Preparatory To
Greeting Corners

With all of the vivacity and eager
ness of youth Salem this week is
cleaning up.
All trace of uncleanliness and un-
sightliness and filth is being banish-
ed so that when the 3housands of Elks
and Shriners, and other delegates to
numerous conventions-not counting
the hundreds of tourists who shall
drive through this city during the
coming months-shall come to the
Capital city their eyes shall behold
the prettiest and cleanest city they
have yet been through.
At the end of almost every alley
downtown today small piles of refuse,
tin cans, old papers, delapidated boxes
and broken bottles and jugs appeared.
Unsightly, to be sure, but the piles
mean more than their dirty appear
ance might convey-they are evidence
of most commendable civic pride on
the part Of citizens that bids fair to
win the commentator of any one
who visits the city.
The city street department was
busy during the day, and Monday,
hauling off the piles of trash and
refuse. Hundreds of citizens are avail
ing themselves of the opportunity of
having the trash hauled away. and
impelled with keen desire to clean
up their premises were laboring beav-
er like cleaning every bit of refuse
and junk in sight.
Due to the fact that street i'm
proyements have started in the city,
Street Commissioner Low this morn
ing said that his department would
be unable to assist in the clean III
program longer than the days ~stipu-
lated, which end Wednesday.
"But don't like to see anybod,
stop on that account" he declared
'The people of Salem ought to Gu

sidewalks, NOV their lawns, and d
everything they can to beautify TIL
