Important Matter Settled.

The discovery of an alligator fossil
I'm the shale rock of Bay de Noe is
considered by biologists to prove that
this peninsula was not created until
fish and other forms of animal life had
begun to exist in the waters there
abouts. This must bring great deal
of satisfaction to the people living
there. Scientists had asserted recent
" that The peninsula was formed pre-
yions to the fish era, and was there
fore quite old. 1t seems probable now
that the place was created, say, only
490,Oo00o0 years ago, instead of 500
100000 years ago. SO the people need
no longer apologize for not having a
place just as new and up-to-date as
any Of us.-DetrOit News.

STRAW CAST

TOWARD GENOA
This Country May Yet Par
ticipate in Discussing So
Wet Question; MIR. George
Confident.

Washington, May 17.-There were
Iintimations yesterday that admins
tration officials expected early de-
velopment in Genoa or perhaps
later at The Hague which might
clarity the Russian situation suf-
cipation in some international prof.
ect designed to restore Russia to
productivity. On what information
that feeling might be based was not
indicated. 1t was evident, however.
that the exchange Of cabled notes
with the Genoa conference group
Monday was regarded as having
moved matters at least step for
ward so far as Russia is concerned.
The only authorized statement 60
ms beyond the terms Of Secretary
Hughes note declining the invita-
ton to The Hague was that obtain
ed during the day at the White
House that the note did not close
the door to future conversations on
the subject. IN the light of that
statement Mr.. Hughes assertion in
the note to Genoa of the Willingness
of the United States government
Ito give serious attention to any
proposals issuing from the Genoa
conference or any later conference"
took on added significance.
There was no amplification of the
statement in the note that the Rus
sian memorandum to the Genoa DOW
ers of May II disclosed an attitude
on the part OF the Russian gov
eminent which, in American Opin-
ion, destined The Hague commission
project to the same difficulties that
were faced in Genoa. With that
statement the American note coupled
the assertion that in American opin-
ION the reasons for Russia's eco
nomic plight seemed reasonably clear
without further examination by ex-
pertH and TINT the remedies must
in the nature Of things be, pro
yided within Russia herself"
