Strange Monseer Cast
Up From the Sea

Lima, Peru Dec. 21.-The tidal
waves which recently devastated
parts of the coast of Chile cast upon
the beach ct the sama time q strange
denisen Of the deep whose like has
not been seen In these waters in
many years.
It would appear to he q cross be-
tween a whale and turtle.
Fishermen st Lsrin, as miles from
Lima, reported huge cetacean
Houndering in the ahallow waters of
the bay. Then they sent out word it
was an unknown monster of the sea,
and that they had killed it.
The director of the Natural History
Museum Of the University of San
Marcos and tho official taxidermist
made trip to Lurin for the purpose
of studying and classifying the
strange visitor. They found an ami.
NAL with the body Of q whale, but
with q head and extremities resem-
bling those Of a turtle. After exami-
nation they came to the conclusion
htat It belonged to the family OF
"Balaenidae" cetaceans, inhabitinG
the South Pacific waters. 1t Is sup
posed that it was carried along by the
Humboldt current and thrown up or
the beach by the tremendous surfs
following the tidal WAVES Of the
Chilean earthquake.
The specimen will be brought back
to Lima for mounting and will be pre-
served in the University Museum.

Austrias Unofficial
Armies Breed Trouble

Vienna, Dec. 21.-Besides its little
standing army Of about $4,000 men
and its state gendarmerie, Austria
has two other. armed and organized
forces, both irregular and both prob
ably without the pale Of the treaty.
In the opinion Of many observers here
the two last mentioned organizations
may lead to trouble. They are ad
.mittedly well armed labor battalions,
and the growing "heinwehr" or con-
.servative armed organizations Of the
proyimes. 49, -,
The iatter are composed largo Sof
peasants and lesser professional
classes and ex-ofiicers, and are par
ticularly strong In Styria and the
TyroL Just how and where they got
arms, ammunition and equipment is
not known. The Allied Military Con-
troll Commission was supposed to
have stripped the country of military
material, but the fact remains that
both these organisations are fully
equipped aud number, many thou
sands. Recently the police found In
one Of the ''heinswehr headquarters
not only guns snA loadea clubs but
hand grenades and poison seses.
Incidents in Styria recently showed
the danger Of these factions. IN one
case strikers captured and disarmed
gendarmes sent to subdue disturb
ances, whereupon the governor Of the
province ordered out the local detach.
ments Of the army The army is pre-.
ponderantely Socialist and sympa
thetic with the workers, but the sol.
diers obeyed orders, subdued the
trouble makers, and released the po.
licemen. The explanation is- found ir
the fact that the governor had, at the
same time, assembled 1000 Of his
"heimwehr" and put them behind the
soldiery to see they did what thes
were told to do.

EXTENSION WORKERS
Big help TO BLACK
IN south
Especial to The Tribune)

Washington D. c.. July 21-More
than $4,000 Negro farmers in North
Carolina, Texas and Virginia, who
raised 10000 acres of corn last year
under the advice of county agents,
employed comparatively by the De-
partment of Agriculture and state
agriculture colleges, obtained average
yields of S5 bushels an acre. The
average for all farms in these states
ranged from II to 25 bushels an acre,
the department said today.
In Virginia, nearly 5000 of the
Negro demonstrators planted pure
seed and about 5000 selected seed for
their 1922 crop. All these demonstra-
ton plats of corn were harvested ex-
cept 81 acres which were "hogged
down" It. is estimated that 70 per
cent of the Negro farmers in Virginia
are following methods of growing
corn taught by extension workers.

Strong resolutions calling on the
Senate to pass without delay the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, were passed
recently by the Harding Republican
Club of New York City, according to
announcement made today by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. Re-
ceiving the pledge of the Republican
Party to take some step to end lynch
ing, the resolutions declare that "the
machinery for. the enforcement of law
and order has broken down in the
States, and the Negro has become a
prey to irresponsible mobs while pet
ty state officials look on and condone
the inhuman proceedings" and ends
with the strong declaration that "the
Harding Republican Club demands in
stantaneous attention and passage of
the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill that the
shame that has descended upon Amer
lea may be erased by the strong arm
of our Federal government"
In the letter to the N. A. A. c. P.
which accompanied the resolution, it
was stated that "The N A. A. G. P.
has led the fight, and I know you will
be happy to learn that there are many
right reasoning men who deplore the
lamentable state of affairs in the
South, and who sympathize with you
in the great and courageous struggle
you are leading against the minions
of anarchy, disorder and ignorance. I"

CATHOLIC SCHOOL
CONFERS DEGREE
ON COLORED Man
Especial to The Tribunel


Washington, July 21 - Professor
George Morton Lightfoot, we'll known
scholar, educator and. editor, of the
Howard University Faculty, has sat
isfied the requirements of the Catholic
University of America for the Masters
Degree in Classical Philology. In
partial fulfillment of the requirements
for the degree, he presented forty
eight page thesis on ''The Question of
the Origin of Roman Satire" in which
discussion he makes a survey of the
lengthy and ingenious debate which
has continued almost without cessa-
tlon forever half century. After a
thorough investigation of the various
claims of priority in producing satire,
Professor Lightfoot establishes his
conclusion that "the Romans were the
first to produce and to develop the
satire as a separate and distinct type
of literary expression"
Professor Lightfoot is a product of
the Preparatory Department of How
ard University His College career
was spent at Williams College. His
successful scholarship at Williams
won him a leadership in the Prepara-
tory Department at Howard University
and later he was given a teaching
place in the college where he has been
employed ever since as Professor of
Latin Language and Literature
