JUSTIFIED, IF TRUE

The World Peace Foundation attempts to prove that thc United States, in the l&l years of its existence has spent four fiIths or all it's disbursements either for war or things rrlat- ing to war. Assuming that to he true, how would thr Foundation have had it different. the Rrvoution should not have been fought, that we should not have resisted British en- croachmcnts in 1912, that we should have mctaphoricaIIy kissed the Southern states goodbye, that we should not have cleaned up Cuba, or that we should not have taken up arms against the Germans!
 Our people may rest assured that the war record of the United States can compare faV- orably with that of any other nation in the world Never have we undertaken cam paign of conquest, our wars always having been inspired by determination to resist en- croachmrnt on American rights or to uphold the solidarity of the Union. The United States will do no less in the future regardless of the state of world armmcnts. America is. however, always willing to submit all pro uor questions to arbitration, and the ultimate purpose of the armament conference is to ad vance the cause of arbitration as means ot settling international controversies, rather than resort to arms.

PACKERS ADOPT CONSTRUCTIVE ATTI
 TUDE

Practically all of the interests represented at the recent conference of salmon packers with Secretary Hoover were favorabI" to widening the scope of the Department ot Com mcrcc in handling the Alaska situation. In this conference the majority of the packers for the first time in years of effort, succeeded in getting together on really constructive measure for the preservation of tn" Alaska fisheries, and they have signitcd a d"Slr" to back up the Department in an effort to mann tain the industry. This is well, for the next year or two will present abundant opportunity for them to do so.
 The Department itself is showing gratIty- ing interest in the problems involved Both Secretary Hoover and Assistant Secretary Huston are giving the subject their personal attention, and the latter has made a Sprclal trin to the Pacific Coast to make closer study of conditions. He says that, 1T the necessary powers are granted as propoS'd in the bin now before Congress. th" need "I immediate action has prompted th" Depart mrnt to prepare to meet th" emergency by the annIication of intelligent rules and regulations based on facts as they exist.
 The hope is accordingly justified that of, fcctivc action will at least be taken to prevent the total destruction of the salmon fisheries; and it is none too soon. Success is certain to crown a constructive effort in which the pack CTS and the Department of Commerce work together; and the first practical result of such co operation, it is to be expected, will be an
 nswcrving maintenance of the conservation measures already adopted, and closer re- striction of fishing for the coming season wherever the need for it is apparent-Pocltic Fisherman.

Undoubtedly, early man sang and

is rhythm, and as in singing and
dancing a desire for some sound to

be universal, primitive vocalists and

Gigantic Beast and May Have
Lived 100000 Years Ago,
Says Biologist.
SKELETON IS DISCOVERED
Fact That Tusks Are More Than ~
Feet Long, Indicates the Great
Size of the Pachyderm-
Probably Killed by Tiger.

San Leon, Texas.-Positive proof
that elephants Of gigantic size, with
bodies probably covered with long
hair, once roamed the coastal plains
Vf Texas has been obtained by the
unearthing here Of the skeletons OF
one Of these prehistoric animals. The
period of its life dates back anywhere
from 100000 to 100000 years, ac-
cording to ii. G. Chandler, assistant
professor of biology in Rice Institute
OF Houston, who assisted in removing
the remains from tie hard bed OF
sand and gravel.
1t Will take some time to recon
struct the bones and form the skele-
ton as 1t originally existed, and until
this Is done measurements cannot be
accurately taken. The fact, however,
that the tusks are each more than IL
feet long indicates the great size OF
the pachyderm.
Scientists Speculation.
The skeleton was discovered by r..
T. Roy of Houston, who called Mr..
Chandler to his assistance In unearth-
ing 1t. In speaking of the discovery
MIR. Chandler said:
Before Noah collected his animals
in the ark and before Adam and Eve
ate the disastrous apple in the Garden
of Eden this beast, perhaps attacked
by a murderous saber toothed tiger,
huge beast which also roamed
through North America at that time.
laid h.s great carcass down on the
sands of the beach and died. The
seabirds of that ancient time, no
doubt, dined sumptuously for many
weeks on his great body, and what
was left by them was picked by the
microscopic animals Of the bay.
''The waves of the ancient bay rip
pied over the bones Of the fallen mon
arch, carrying sand and gravel, until
finally the entire skeleton was buried
deep under n mass of debris.
Centuries passed and the land

tinuously against the bank, eating II

"There are many who, while admit

an elephant did live and die on the

Such estimates are based on the time
required to deposit sedlmentary rock,
