from the blast for a few.
The bodies of the dead,
most of them charred be-

Washington by airplane; by
Lieut.. Col. Arthur G. Fisher,

flight, and by Major f. l..
Kennedy, summary court Of

"coroner.'
To Hold Inquest Immediately.
Major Kennedy announced today
he would swear in a jury and
hold an inquest over the bodies
either later today or tomorrow.
He will determine responsibility
for the accident for the local mil
itary authorities.
The crash, which occurred with

here, terminated what was to have
been a test flight of the Roma
under power of new Liberty mo-
tors.
The airship, after rising above
the hangar at Langley Field,

were unable to effect any rescues for
an hour, as the flames prevented ap-
proach. When the blaze was finally

twisted metal remained.
1t was in this blazing inferno

William f. Riley, of New York He
leaped from the bag with a para

parachute failed to open and Riley

lifted the wreckage, while volunteers
dug out the bodies from the char
red bag. Gruesome sights met
these rescuers. Some victims had
their hands burned off though the
chief force Of the explosions seems

No features were recognizable,
but with it all, the victims seemed
to have died without pain. Mill
tary men on the scene were of the
opinion that the airmen had been
literally roasted alive in the first
great explosion that followed the
crash.
Only two of the eight injured
now at the army hospital here
are in in danger of dying from their
burns. These are Charles DworaCk,
Of Dayton, Ohio, and Sergt. Harry
A. Chapman, of st. Joseph, Mo.
The others, physicians said. will
recover while both Dworack and
Chapman have a fighting chance"
There is some conflict among OBJ
servers as to whether there was a
fire aboard the airship before the
crash. All army men deny it and
they are borne out by most Of the
survivors.
Capt. Walter J. Reed, of Scars

however, declared there was a cry

was any fire prior to the crash. He
declared he was trapped inside the
aft cabin and waited until the flames

"One of the contributing causes for
so many deaths was the lack of
knives" Reardon said. I'VE couldn't

several survivors that one Of the

SCIENTISTS CAN BUT GUESS
to How Long Man Has Existed
on the Earth.

It Is proved that man-true man
existed on this earth many, many
thousand years ago. How many no
n a certainly say, but certainly
longer than the period accepted as a
strict dogma by Bible Christians with
in living memory (and still affirmed
by some Of them). 1t is not proved,
but 1t Is highly probable that there is
genetic connection between man as
We know him and the earlier inferior
types Of which evidence remains. II a
critic were to maintain that man as
we know him rose suddenly from
some other type not yet found (for
the evidence Is very f~ragmentary and
slightly, he would not be contradicting
ascertained fact on the contrary, he
has IN his side the anomaly Of fine
skulls found in apparently very early
strata; all that department is quite
unfixed. That man as we know him
was a vile thing for countless gen.
erations and gradually rose to prac-
tice the human virtues and intelli-
gence is not proved at all. There is
not an atom Of proof. Even the vague
analogy from existing savages fails.
Some savages are of n character,
some Of another; all as old in descent
as ourselves. The excessive evil af-
flrmed Of true man when first he could
be so called is sheer unsupported at
firmation proceeding not from EVIL
dence-for We have none-but from a
mood, q desire that things should be
so.-Hillaire Belloc, In the Yale Re-
