partment has given out the following
information, which seems to clear it
of blame:
The invitation, which came in Feb
ruary, was merely printed circular
and was filed away by clerk who did
not recognize its Importance. When
a cablegram was received in June from
Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary-G General
of the League, asking for a reply,
search was made and the missing docu-
ment brought to light However, it
was found to be addressed to members
Of the League of Nations and also to
those other nations which had signed
the international agreement in 1910
for the control of traffic. in women and
children. The United States is not
q member Of the League of Nations
and did not sign the agreement in ques
ton. Hence the invitation did not APP
ply to it, and there was nothing to do
in the eyes of the state department
but to stay out of the conference.

WINNIPEG. July 20.--Indlan trappers
arriving here brought story of a thrill

wolves, In which the squaws were VIC
torious. During the absence of prac-
tically all men on a weeks trip over the
trapline. the camp, situated on lake
forty miles north Of Fort william, On
tario. was surrounded by a pack Of sew
enty or eighty timber wolves.
A great circle of bonfires was lighted
and for a time leaping flames kept the
animals at bay. Soon they appeared to
overcome their awe Of the fires, and the
ring Of animals narrowed. Then the
battle commenced.
Some of the squaws, armed with n
few rifles remaining in camp, opened
fire on the leaders of the back AS each
wolf fell, Its companions tore 1t to pieces
and devourcd IL. The squaws shifted
their fire from point to point. picking
Off an animal here and there and thus
the advance OF the wolves, who stopped
to devour their mates, was checked.
When the ammunition gave out and
the wolves began to draw In, an aged
squaw offered TO sacrifice herself and
was restrained only by force. But just
as 1t appeared that the camp was about
to be rushed. an Indian boy thought of
some dynamite sticks kept for use in
the lake when fishing was bad. A bum
and fuse, and this was hurled into the
midst of the wolves. who were rallying
for a rush.
When the smoke of the explosion had
cleared. seventy-two wolves ears were
gathered up, representing thirty-six ami
mails. In addition to those shot and de-
voured by their ravenous companions.

NOW TAKE STEPS
TO REVIVE PETROCRAD
Conditions So Bad That City

REvAL Esthonia, July 20.-The Rus
sian Soviet Council Of Labor and Defence
has taken urgent steps to revive Petro-
grad. which even the Bolshevikf them
selves have recently termed dying

Thousands of workmen, confronted by
starvation and realizing that Moscow
was favored over Petrograd in the mat
ter of food distribution, left the city.
with the result that scarcely enough man
power was left to operate what few fac
tories could be provided with fuel
AT session Of the All-Russian Gen.
trail Executive Committee, held in Mos
COW. it was decided to give Petrograd
preferential privileges in regard to fuel
and transport, to place Petrograd in the
same situation as Moscow with refer
ence to food supplies, to establish spe-
cial district from which food supplies
should be drawn solely for the use of
Petrograd aid to enjoin all Of Russia to
come to the aid of Petrograd in the
matter Of food and fuel supply. A spe-
cial commission. headed by Premier
Lenine and including Zinovieff, Governor
Of Petrograd, was named to carry out
the work.
1t was declared that only one sixth of
the pre-war number OF industrial enter
prises were in operation I'm Petrograd.
The population is said to number less
than 100000. little more than third
of the pre-war figures. The committee
also decided to include Petrograd to

CoNsTANrINoPLE, July 20.-The Greek
plans in the offensive against the Turk
ish Nationalist are judged by military
experts here to comprise in the main a
turning movement designed to force the
Nationalists to abandon the important
railway junction of Eski-Shehr, and thus
cut the route to Angora. the Kemalist
capital. The railways. however, have
already been destroyed. The Turkish
plan. on the other hand. appears to be
to draw on the Greeks until what is
considered the proper time to strike them
by series of constant irregular attacks
Should the Turks abandon Eski-Shehr
further advance by the Greeks would
subject them to harassing attacks by
the Nationalists from advantageous po-
sitions. 1t is presumed by the experts
here. however. that IL Eski-Shehr falls
the Greeks are likely, to remain there.
In that event the Nationalists are ex-
pected to threaten Constantinople in an
attempt to force the main body Of the
Greek army over to the Brussa 'front.'
where the Nationalist resistance in this
offensive so far has proved effective.

The natives only had implements and

Deck first visited the island. They

iron.
The men are great fighters and
wrestlers. Their throwing spears have
points made of human leg and arm

says DR.. Deck.
They seemed to feel keenly the mo-
notony Of their isolation and showed a
settled melancholy both in their faces
and the cadence of their voices. Their

consists in the tuneless beating of a
