skull OF an erect man-ape, known as the
pithccanthropus erectus, itself 5000

This discovery, which seems almost
too marvellous to be true, will throw
light upon this hitherto unknown pc

lists have merely speculated upon the
possible existence Of man in the ter
tiary period. although traces pointing
to the existence of man-like animals
have heen found on various rocks.
1T had been believed that the pithe-
cantropus erectus was the first de-
scendant Of the ape to walk upright,
and the earliest mantle missing link,
in fact. But the tertiary period ante
dates this SO far it means that we have
been wrong in our surmises."

Boas continued. that the earth ASSUME
cd its present general geographic form,
when the great mountain ranges exist

part, continents were as they are now.
The huge reptiles that previously had
been the highest development Of life
were being replaced by mammals which
developed almost to their present state.
The close of that period ushered in the

in London and Paris during Decem-
Der and January on reparations and

subject of Blue, Book issued today.
The breaking point apparently
was reached on January 3, says the
book, when Prime Minister Bonar

said that the difference between them
it was best to get the most money
they could from Germany and not at
tempt to get as much as they would
like.
Mr.. Bonar Law pointed out that
information in his possession showed
Germany to be on the point of in
dustrial collapse.
After adjournments and resumption
of the negotiations, the final break
came on January 4. when NJ. Poin-
care made it clear that he was UNI
able to modify his opinion, stating
that the British proposals were tan
tamount to the complete upsetting or
the treaty OF Versailles and that the
respective viewpoints of the two gov
ernments were absolutely irrecOn-
cilable.
Mr.. Bonar Law thereupon handed
in a note, asserting that II the
French proposals were carried into
effect, "they will not only fail of at
tanning the desired results. but are
likely to have a grave and even dis
astrous effect upon the economic sit
uation of Europe"
NJ. Poincare submitted note ex-
pressing regret that France was UNI
able to accept the British proposals.

ance of the continuance of the

u. S. Pays Norway
Twelve Million for
Ships Seized in War

Washington, Feb. 26.-Payment
Of s12,239.S52.47, the amount of the
award rendered last October by the
tribunal Of arbitration which passed
on the claims growing out of the
seizure during the war of Norwegian
ships, was made to Norway late to-
day by the United States.
Co-incident with the payment,
Secretary Hughes. in a note deliver
ed to Minister Bryn for the Nor
wegian government. declared that
while the United states supported
the principal of arbitration, it felt
obliged to make certain reservations
to the tribunals action, as the
award could not be regarded by the
American government to possess an
authoritative character as a prece-
dent.
Congress recently passed a resolution
which authorized the administration to
make the settlement in full satisfac-
ton Of the claims Of Norwegian sub
jects arising out of acquisitions by
the Emergency Fleet Corporation. A
draft upon the treasury of the United
States accompanied Mr. Hughes note.
Declaring that in making the pay
Tcnt the American government gives
tangible proof Of its desire to respect
arbitral awards and it again acknowl-
edges devotion to the principle Of ar
bitral settlements even in the face of
decision proclaiming certain theories of
law which it cannot accept" Mr..
Hughes asserted.
The award. the Norwegian govern
ment was informed, recognizes the
requisitioning power of a belligerent.
but would seem to imply a limitation
on it's exercise where the property
concerned is that of neutral aliens by
defining the extent to the emergency
and it's termination. and by enhancing
damages accordingly, thus subjecting
the government to a different test and
owned by neutral nationals than in the
case where it is owned by nationals Of
the requisitioning state.
The secretary of state. contending
that the award failed ito give a salts
which the tribunal arrived at it's con-
illusions. declaring the United states
government felt obliged ito direct at
tention to the requirements of appro-
pirate arbitral procedure. and to- state
that it cannot accept as proper or sat-
isfactory in international arbitrationa
the mode by which the tribunal has as
sessed damages or the absence of
reasoned statement indicative of. the
methods of their computation"
'1n making these observations" tho
note concluded. this government has
no desire to be controversial or in
innate acQuiescence in the expressions
of the tribunal upon other points not
above mentioned, the purpose being
simply to point out. not in opposition
to. but in support of. the principle of
arbitration that the award cannot be
deemed by this government to possess
an authoritative character as a prece.
dent"

Urges Fire Marshals'
Law Under Supervision
Insurance Department

In a statement issued MONDAY
Acting Insurance Commissioners
Leon W. HeIson urges the news
papers as we'll as tho public to as
sist in procuring a fire matshal's law
in this state.
This new department would he
under the supervision OF tee state
insurance department., with IN
spectOrs in the. field to assist and
instruct all municipalities in IN
spections and prevention OF tires,
said Commissioner Hclson.
IF this act is passed. 1t VIII
mean no additional expense to the
state, as the cost of the new depart
ment will be taken care OF by taxes
paid by fire insurance companies.
The people will be the ones who
will derive the benefit by the Gre
alton of such a department, and it
is the public whom this department
would be striving to save nom loss
of life and property from the dread
fire enemy. This department would
keep in close touch with other
fire prevention organizations
! throughout this country and Canada,
and with this in mind could secure
valuable results.
Every fire and police department
and board OF selcctmen in the state
would give corporation and the
various civic bodies. manufacturing
establishments, warehouse owners
hotel keepers. theatre propri"tJra
and garage owners Wou!! assist. IT
, would mean the inspection Of fire
escapes and exits on all schools,
theatres. garages and public build
incs. thus saving the state an snor-
NOUS amount of money i'll fire losses
which occur annually.
"N' hen tho fire losses in Maine in
creased from $2.9i2.1G2. in the year
| 1918 to s3,605.iS in the year 1921.
| with fan amount of s1.3SG,16G of
| losses reported in 1921 as Tn
! known" it is zine something is done.
1t has been said that the insurance
I companies pay these losses. but this
| saying Is untrue. as property own
| crS pay every dollar. The property
owners may not pay the losses dir
| ectly. but they do when they pay
| their fire insurance premium. In a
| state where there is no fire marshal's
! law or where fire prevention is not
practiced. the rates on fire insurance
| are higher than in states having
, such law and prevention methods.
and in the latter states the result
has been less losses and lower in
| surance rates.
with the cooperation of the
| people. this act creating the office
| of fire marshal can be passed. and
! such a law will assist to make Maine
! practically fire-proof."
