EXPLORERS WILL UNLOCK
OLD NEW WORLD SECRETS
Central America Is Expected to
Yield Medical and Other
Scientific Discoveries.

BALTIMORE, Md. December 30
Important medical and economical dis
coyeries that will be Of great value to
| the modern life of the peoples of the
| world are on the verge at the present
time Of being made in several districts
of Central America by American arch
| biologists. This prophesy was made
last night by Prof. William Gates. pres
ident OF the Maya Society. in an adj
dress delivered at the meeting at Johns
Hopkins University of the Archeo-
logical Institute of America, the Philo-
logical Association and the Maya So
ciety.
Prof. Gates brought forth in his talk
the fact that in Central America there
has recently been discovered evidence
of an ancient race of people with a
civilization as old and as cultured as
that OF the ancient Egyptians. They
were Of a lofty mental attitude, the pro-
fessor contended. and Of high metaphy-
steal qualities.
American Psychologists for further ex-
ploration OF the remains Of this ancient
race were dwelt on by the speaker
These workers, he declared, hold forth
the promise to the American people of
new region. rich with archaeological
material, the surface OF which has as
yet only been scratched.
Among the most important discover
les expected to be made there are the
unearthing of further native medical
works. some Of which are already in
the hands Of the Maya Society, that will
add valuable specific pharmacopeia
and medical knowledge to that science
in this country. The whole program, if
worked out according to the present
plans Of the Maya Society, will be
great forward step for the medical
world.

Granite Manufacturers Banquet Plans.

The banquet committee Of the Gran
lite Manufacturers association met
yesterday to make preparations for
the annual business meeting and han
quet which will be held on the aft
ernoon and evening Of Dec. 10. The
women of the Congregational church
served such an excellent banquet to
the association last year that the com
mittee concluded that these women
should prepare another, hence il win
be under their direction that the ban
quet viands will be prepared. The
banquet, as last year, will be served
in Rowland hall. and as last year an
entertainment along similar lines viii
follow the banquet. In the afternoon
the annual business meeting viii be
held-in the association rooms, with the
election of officers and committee re-
ports among the principal features Of
the meeting. Possibly the refresh
ments which will follow will be of
unusual interest, since il is understood
that the committeeman are planning
a few surprises for this event.
Only by the kind cooperation OF the
Odd Ladies could this annual affair
take place on the 18th, the ladies hav-
ing consented to postpone their fair
from the 18th and 10th to the 18th
and 18th of December. This last date
conficted with the dance and iollifca-
ton of the Barre Athletic association.

are limited Is q matter Of interest to
all citizens. Experience has shown that
he asserts his opinions with energy,
ability and with intolerance Of oppos-
ing opinion.
The taste Of almost dictatorial power
over nation Of moro than hundred
million citizens might easily fire the
imagination Of one who can see great
visions or dream great dreams. To re-
nounce all personal ambition and with
the expiration of his term of Office to
look forward only to the calm dignity
Of retirement would call for qualities
not given to all. To now lay down the
vast powers with which the President
has been invested and to take up the
peace-time administrative duties Of his
Office might appear an anti-climax to q
man less consecrated to his country
than a Washington or Lincoln.

New-York tribune., 1920-02-22
Clarifying the Issue

The House Committee on Military
Affairs has voted in favor or COM
pulsory military training. 1t will
insert in the army reorganization
bill provision for the inauguration
OF training system on July 1, 1922.
This postponement of the opera
tion Of the principle of universal
service is advisable because of the
peremptory need of retrenchment at
Washington. The first duty of this
Congress is to dehate the swollen
estimates of the departments and
cut down the government pay rolls.
The regular army is being reduced to
a minimum, and all military and
semi-military activities are being
temporarily suspended in order to
allow the government to balance its
budget.
1t would be illogical and harmful
to insist on an immediate experiment
with compulsory military training.
Many genuine friends of that system
feel that all other considerations
must yield at this moment to the
absolutely necessary effort to restore
Federal expenditure to peace basis.
Another thing. Many former paci-
fists and supporters of the sham Hay
army reorganization act Of 1916 are
now hiding their opposition to the
principle Of universal military train
ing behind the praiseworthy propa-
ganda for retrenchment. By elimi-
mating any demands on the Treasury
before 1929 the friends of genu
inc defense system leave the pacifsts
without any argument save opposi- /
tion to general training on its merits.
1t is desirable that the issue
should be clearly made this year in
the House and Senate. The spirit |
Of pacifism still fingers in the dark
corners. There are many pacifists
who haven't yet forgiven the United
States for helping to defeat Ger
many and who want to put it be-
yond this country's power to defeat
any other enemy.
If, only fifteen months after the
armistice, they insist or forcing the
issue of unpreparedness again to
the front, they ought to be met
squarely and openly. It is wise to
make them come out into the light
and oppose universal training be-
cause it is anti-pacifist, not because
it will interfere with this years
program Of economy.
