WESTERN SAVANT
TALKS AT COSMOS
Explains How Evolution Was
Traced Through AS
phalt Pools.

Trapped in sticky asphalt, birds
and ancient beasts have left their
bones behind in the asphalt beds of
Rancho La Brea, Cal, and, compar-
ing their skeletons with modern
types, we may trace out the pro-
CeSses of evolution, DR.. l.. H. Miller,
of the University of California, told
the Biological Society last night at
the Cosmos Club.
Saber-toothed tigers. giant eagles,
immense mammals and tiny beetles
during the Pleistocene era and later
were attracted to the pools Of as
phalt by water, grass or meat of
other victims, and scientists of to-
day are uncovering and reconstruc-
ting their bony frames. Teratornis
merriami, by far the largest flying
eagle that the world has ever
known, was discovered in the par
TALLY solidified oil residue. with
him was Morpheus doggetti. an
eagle on stilts, very similar to the
African lons-legged eagle. but OF
different origin.
Birds of Yosemite National Park
were shown. and described by DR.
H. C. Bryant, of the same univer-
sity. This California valley is a
place where the nature lover can
see and study all kinds of birds and
plants.
What We need is more of the
old-fashioned naturalists who can
explain and show the people the
secrets of the valleys and the noun
tains," said DR.. Bryant. The ma
tional parks are full of opportuni-
ties for just such service" he said

Wilson Stops Armenian
Arbitration for Pledge
From League Members.
SENDS WHOLE PLAN
BACK TO ASSEMBLY
Tells Allies He Is Hands
Off" Until They Make
Public Promises.

President Wilson yesterday den-
niteIy referred back 10 the league Of
nations the whole question Of arbi-
traung the Turkish difI-
cUlties with the demand that the
allied powers give assurance not
to support any movement directed
against Russia by any Of the border
states before he will feel justified
in disPatching Henry Morgsnthau.
who he had selected to attempt the
task, or make any further move in
the matter.
The Presidents decision vas
transmitted to Paul Hymsns. presI-
dent Of the assembly OF the league
Of nations, In a lengthy cOmmuni-
cation from Acting Secretary of
State Norman II. Davis The docu-
ment described Armenia TO be under
the control Of Soviet Russia, and
asserted that any mediation pro-
ceednEE must therefore be based
on the future policy Of the great
powers toward Russia
Detail Of Big Problem.
President Wilson's view is that
the Armenian situation is only one
detail OF the vast Russian problem.
and he contends that il would be
futile to attempt the paCifcatIon
and Independence OF Armenia with
out establishing definitely an allied
policy toward future anti-Russian
military moves that might be made
by any Of the states bordering on
that nation.
The American answer TO the va
rioUs suggestions Of the league Of
nations members as TO how 70 pro-
Ceed in srbitratinE the controversies
between the Armenisns and the
kemalists takes a positive position
against any further military action
directed against the BoIsheviki and
holds that peace can only be re-
stored by the allied governments
adopting a policy Of hands of and
thus enable the Russian peoples
within the states TO accomplish
complete paciication.
Opposes Invasion.
The American note emph1ticaIIy
reiterates the view Of the present
administration that the BOlshevili
is "a violent and tyrannical mt
nority, by no means representing
the real desires and purposes OF the
Russian people" but with equal
emphasis Mr.. Wilson contends that
armed invasion is not the way 70
bring peoCe TO the people OF Rus
sia."
President Wilson sums up his
answer to the leagues invitation
TO mediate in Armenia by suggest
ing that the whole Russian-Armen-
ian Turkish tsnElc can be solved
only by the great powers agreeing
to withhold support to any OF the
border states attempting military
operations against the BolshevikL.
: and serve notice on Russia that
( peace is possible. The President

PieZ Asserts Schwab Never
Got Pay For His Services

Vigorous defense of Charles NJ.
Schwab and denial that he ever had
been paid a cent for compensation
or expenses by the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, was made yesterday
by Charles Piez, former director
general of the corporation, in testi-
mony before the walsh Congress
sional Committee investigating the
Shipping Board.
The services of Schwab," said
Piez, were invaluable because of
his faculty for organizing and for
putting enthusiasm into men with
whom he is associated:
'Schwab became head of the
Fleet Corporation with the greatest
reluctance, as his own companies
then had contracts involving many
millions. He accepted after days
of persuasion by Edward N. Hur-
ley, former chairman of the Ship
ping Board and myself and a strong
personal plea by President Wilson!
Declined Advantages.
In every case where the Fleet
Corporation had occasion to do busi-
ness with any of Schwab's compan-
les: he declined to act himself. De-
NloAOho wei Z llldlt anu contracts
formed by the board of directors.
Every cent of the great expense
to which Mr.. Schwab was subjected
was paid out of his own pocket. His
services were invaluable 1t is most
unfortunate that any suggestions
of improper actions on his part
should have been made at the pres
ent time"
PfnZ Hhp1araH
sion had been given in the testf-
mony of Martin J. GiIlen, former
assistant to the chairman of the
Shipping Board.
Had Proper Authority.
'T was head of the construction
division of the Fleet Corporation,
and can testify that no money was
paid out in my section except upon
proper authority" he said.
"Gillen describes the wasteful-
ness of the cost-plus sytem of max
ing contracts. A cost-plus sytcm,
under reasonable restrictions, is not
new. 1t is the method under which
many large companies make con-
tracts.
"Gillen claims we carried no
checks against our authorizations
and appropriations. In this he Is
again wrong, as the detailed charts
and statements which I am submit
ting show that tabulated accounts
were kept of every phase of our
work.
Another gross misstatement of
facts by Gillen is that there was no
record of $240, 1000, 900 of mortgages
and other securities belonging to
the Fleet Corporation. The seGuri-
ties in question were in the posses
sion of the Treasurer at Washing
ton until April II. 1919, when their
transfer to the custody of Comp
troller Bender, in Philadelphia, was
authorized"
