Editor The washington Times:

Editor The Washington Times:
TN connection with the dis
covery that the grave of the
- Rolfe family in Gravesend,
England, has not contained the
bones of Matoaka Pocahontas,
many leading papers in the
United States have repeated the
legend that Matoaka Pocahontas
saved the life of Captain John
Smith.
l have invited the leading uni
versities of America and England
to express their opinions as to
the value of the books of John
Smith. Prof. T. j. Wertenbaker,
of Princeton University, writes as
to the statement Of Captain John
Smith that Pocahontas saved his
life:
''I can only say that do not
believe it. The incident rests en-
tirely upon the captains testi-
mony made after Pocahontas
visited England and had become
famous. His insinuation that
Rolfe in order to persuade the
girl to marry him has told her
Smith was dead l think not only
contemplate. but almost certainly
untrue. believe Captain Smith
accomplished much OF real value
both as an explorer and
colonizer, but his books are so
full of conceit and exaggerations
and deliberate Misrepresentation
that they must be judged with a
most critical eye"

merrily in the trees! All
nature wears an aspect Of peace
and harmony. On the porch
of a little hotel in a neighbor-

on a bench waiting for the
train, quietly smoking his pipe
Presently a tall man wearing
boots and a SLOUGH hat, steps
to the door of the hotel from
the inside with a six shooter in
his hand and fires. The man
on the bench rolls over with a
loud yell as the bullet grazes
his ear. He springs to his feet
in amazement and wrath and
shouts:
"What are you shooting at
me for?"
The tall man advances with
his SLOUGH hat in his hand, bows
and says: "Beg your pardon,

, LONDON. Jan. 25.-By the Asso-
ciaed Press.rA calmer view of Great
Britain's position in the occupied zone
was taken here otday. A friendly
conversation between Lord Crewe. the
Ambassador 10 France. and Premier
Poincare at Paris has resulted in an
understanding. It was said, that the
British will not again be placed in tho
position OF seeming to endorse the
French policy. as was tho case in the
Lazenaur incident at Cologne.
The morning newspapers regard the
situation as n delicate one and believe
the avoidance Of difficulties depends
almost entirely upon the tact and dis
cretion OF the men on the spot.
The British government has made
no statement to allay public anxiety,
but it is understood that it will not
consent to British cooperation in the
application with the Cologne urea n
any Sanctions" TO which French and
BelEians agree unless the London gov.
eminent gives its assent.

henceforth will avoid awakening Brit.
