Three Unpublished
Works of Tolstoi to
Be Published

Moscow, Feb. 10.-Three unpub-
lished works of Count Leo Tolstoi are
to be included in the Memorial edi-
tion of his works which his daughters
are planning to issue.
The most important of these is his
diary, which will run to eight volumes
Of 500 pages each. The diary was be-
gun in 1850 and continued to 1870,
without a break, then abandoned until
1889, when the great writer renewed
It and kept it until two days before
his death in 1910.
The first 20 year period of the diary
describes his life as a soldier in the
Caucasus, during the siege OF Sebasto-
pol and his marriage. The second
period of the dairy is less personal
and devoted to questions of religion,
philosophy and politics.
A second Of the unpublished works
is an unfinished romance called "The
Story Of Peter the Great" and deals
with revolutionary plots Of that time
The third work is comedy in five
acts. ""The Nihilist," written in

Remains of Mammoth
Of Prehistoric DAYS

Lexington, KY, Feb. 11.-Discovery
of the remains of a mammoth of pre-
historic days at Big Bone Lick has
furnished a fresh trail for scientific
research, according to Prof. A. M.
Miller, head of the department of geol-
ogy of the University of Kentucky.
The states licks and caves contain a
larger variety of MAMMALIAN remains,
including those of prehistoric man,
than are to be found in other states,
lie says.
The jawbone of an Indian, skele-
tons of bears and wolves, all of which
lived many hundreds of years ago,
are among the recent discoveries in
the state, Mr.. Miller says. These relics
were unearthed on the Breck Smith
farm, on the old Frankfort pike.

Train Crushes Off
Arm of Switchmau

Greenwood, Feb. 10.-Falling be-
tween two cars Forester Marsh, 20
year old white switchman, employed
as member of the G. & w. c. shift
ing crew here, had his left arm
crushed from his body early yaster-
day morning. He was taken to 10.
cal hospital where his arm was am
putated and physicians believe he will
recover.
Young Marsh was standing at the
end of a coal car, holding to the
brake wheel or brake rod, according
to railroad men, when something
broke, letting him fall under the
wheels. Only the slowness with
which the train was moving prevent
ed him from being fatally injured,

MUSCLE SHOALS
NOT ACTIVE SOON

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Delays esti-
mated from six months to year OF
more probably will be encountered BY
government officials before they are
IN position to turn over the nitrate
plant power stations and water dams
at Muscle Shoals, Ala, to Henry Ford,
should his proposed contract for their
purchase and lease for period of 100
years be accepted. Despite the most
expeditions action by congress, in the
event it authorizes the war secretary
to accept the contract, it was estimat-
ed today by members of the house
military committee attending hearings
on the Ford offer that such delay
was apparently inescapable.
Questions were raised at the hear
ing today by members, which in the
opinion of some with long experience
in such matters, would be necessary
to be solved by the court, irrespective
of congressional action unless the
Ford Cffer was rejected. These in
volved the delivery Of clear titles 10

Shoals project but which are located

the pruchase of the buildings which
they intend to exercise.
1t was the general opinion of some
committee members after hearing the
testimony of Col. John Hull, acting
Judge advocate general of the army,
that the government may be compell-
ed to institute proceedings before il
obtains the necessary titles to the
lands for Mr.. Ford and in doing this
meet opposition from the owners, who
would perhaps test their rights in the
courts.
Colonel Hull said it was his opin-
ion that the contractual obligations
were "non-enforceable" and null and
void" and could not be successfully
presented either by the Alabama Pow
er company representatives or officials
cf the Air Nitrates corporation, both
CT whom claim optional privileges and
have Informed Secretary Weeks that
Trey intend to exercise them before
the Muscle Shoals properties are dis
posed of to private concerns.

ASKS SENATE TO
APPROVE TREATIES

Washington, Feb. 10. - President
Harding today asked the senate to
give approval to the arms conference
treaties In order that Americas pro-
fessed desire to rid the world of war
may not become "a hollow mockery."
"If we can not join in making ef-
fective these covenants for peace" he
said, "and stamp this conference with
Americas approval, We shall discredit
the influence of the republic, render
future efforts futile and unlikely, and
write Encouragement where today the
world is ready to acclaim new hope"
Delivering his message in person,
IN voice and manner that betokened
Geep emotion the president was an
swered repeatedly by applause from
floor and galleries. He asked that rat
ification be given without delay and
before he left the capitol senate ma
chnery was set in motion to hasten
a vote.
Five principal treaties and two sup
Elemental agreements, the fruition of
IL weeks of negotiation just concluded
here, were in the bundle of interna-
ton covenants taken to the senate
chamber by Mr.. Harding. They pro-
pose, in short, limitation on naval
armament, new bill of rights for
China and a four power concord to
preserve peace in the Pacific.
All of these agreements, said the
president, are related portions of the
effort "to put an end to contradictions,
to remove antiquities, and establish
clear understandings"
None of them, he asserted, "com-
mits the American government to any
kind of alliance, ENHANCEMENT or in
volvment."
After the address was completed
both Republican and Democratic lead
ers predicted that the treaties would
be ratified without long debate and by
substantial majorities. Only one, the
four power Pacific pact, is threatened
now with organized opposition and it's
opponents have not yet demonstrated
how large a vote they can command
against the strength of party leaders
on both sides of the chamber.

GOVERNMENT MOVES
In ARMS LIMITATION

Washington, Feb. 10. - Additional
steps had been taken by the Wash.

supplementary treaties to the senate

Immediately effective, so far as the
United States is concerned, some pro-
visions of those agreements, includ-
ing the status quo understanding as
to Pacific Notifications.
War department orders have direct
ed the diversion of an assignment of
IA threc-inch anti-aircraft guns built
for the Manila Notifications. They
are en- route from San Francisco on
the transport Wheaton and will be
unloaded at Honolulu. At the same
time, orders assigning an air service

assembled at Mathcr field, California

These orders followed earlier ac-
ton by the navy department stop

ment of mines to Manila and also the
