PREHISTORIC LIFE
 IS FOUND IN TEXAS.
Another Race Existed There
 Before Indians

Austin, Texas, July 21.-Evidence that Texas was inhabited by a pre- historic people different from the In- dian who roamed the plains when the first white men came has been un- earthed by James E. Pearce, profes- sor of anthropology of the Univer- sity Of Texas. The early inhabitants, he said, lived a nomad-like existence, roa ming from one part of the wilder ness to another and killing, with rude stone weapons, animals and even humans for food.
 In cooperation with the Smith sonian Institute Bureau of Ethnolo- BY, Professor Pearce has been in- vestisating the mounds for more than a year, he reported.
 ''The life history of these people has been read from the records they left in their burned-rock mounds or kitchen middens,' the professor said. These mounds are piles of broken and charred bits of limestone three or four feet high and sometimes as long as 100 feet. They are made up of the kitchen refuse of these pre- historic peoples who had regular camp sites at frequent intervals along the Edwards Plateau, extend ing from Austin westward to New Mexico.
 These people evidently were ad- vanced to the stage of paleolithic cul- ture. an earlier age than the period of neolithic culture to which most of the American Indians belonged. These early Texas inhabitants had arrows and. spears tipped with flint points, clipped but not polished. They did not polish their stone weaons, nor did they engage in any form of agriculture. They werea however, skillful skin dressers for we have found skin scraping tools made of flint.
 The kitchen middens which we discovered are the only thing of their kind in America, so far as I know, although they have been found in other parts of the world. At these sites. camps were located with great fireplace in the center over which huge slabs of limestone were placed as a sort. of primitive stove upon which to cook the meat the in Ina bitants killed.
 We know these people were canni- bals for among the refuse heaps have been found human bones split apart in order to get at the marrow.
 The soft limestone slabs, being exposed to the weather, broke from time to time and were cast asida nearby. to be replaced by new ones."
 When the present investigation on the Edwards Plateau has been con- cluded work will be started upon the funeral mounds in East Texas, which are the work of an entirely different race of people, according to Professor Pearce. These people, he said lived in later period. Their pottery and polished weapons have been found in the mounds.

MUST STOP BOLSHEVIKI OR SACRIFICE VICTORY
Allies Will Have Fought in Vain if Soviet March Continues Toward
Germany.

London, July 21.-Premier Lloyd George, addressing the house of com mons today, said the soviet answer to the Allies regarding peace with Poland was incoherent, ambiguous and propaganda largely intended for home consumpton. So far as he could understand however. the soviet indi- cated its willingness to negotiate di- rect with Poland.
 The premier said the soviet govern ment appeared to want to better Poland's boundaries, but he added the soviet had no right to say as to what form of government Poland should have.
 The premier said the further de- struction of Poland and the westward sweep of the Bolsheviki to the borders of Germany should be arrested if the victory so dearly won by the Allies was not to be sacrificed.
 Lloyd George said the soviet gov ernment had not been chosen by the Russian people and that it was as great an autocracy as it's predecessor.
 He announced that the British am- bassador at Berlin had gone to Po- land and Marshal Foch might go later.
 In order to test the good faith of the soviet government, he explained, it was decided at Spa to advise Po- land to apply to Russia for an arm- istice with a view to peace.

Alfred Nye, member of the Federal Signal corps during the Civil war, who died recently at Lexington, Neb., is credited with having sent General Sherman's famous message, Hold the tort" to General Corse at Allatoona Pass, Ga, in 1864.

Tourtellotte. When the Confederate army began its attack Colonel Tour teilotte asked for help. General Corse, with the nearest troops available, at Rome, Ga., was ordered to reinforce the pass. He was able to move only a few hundred men.
 The battle ragged through the night and the following day, the Union men refusing to surrender the fort. Meanwhile Sherman was exchanging signals with the men whenever the smoke of battle drifted aside. until he was able to have Alfred Nye wigwag to them: Hold the fort" The Con- tederates retreated and continued their march to Tennessee.

KfgG al-F0NS0'S FIRST SMOKE
ExreriSnce ot Spanish Monarch Very il.ch Like That of Some Amcri-

King Alfonso has been telling the story of his first cigarette.
 The incident, 1t appears. occurred immediately after he had been formal iy enthroned as king of Spain when attaining his majority on his sixteenth birthday.
 Up 10 that time he had not been al- lowed tO smoke, nor even then was the prohibition withdrawn. Nevertheless, he came to the conclusion that, as ruling monarch, he might at least do as he liked is this respect.
 Accordingly he asked his brother-in- law, the prince of Asturias. for cigarette.
 T haven't got one," said the prince, faithful to family orders.
 Then the king applied to the officer of the guard, who said solennly:
 T regret that do not smoke them, your majesty"
 At last the young king made his way to the sentry at the palace door, who amiably produced plug of black to- bacco from his trousers pocket and rolled cigarette for his majesty, who smoked it proudly through the palace.
 Tt made me violently sick later on," ne said in telling the story; but enjoyed 1t at the time I felt. as I puHed and puffed really and truly gro
