More Than 10000 Human Skulls
Kept for Study at Museum, Here
Collection Includes SkeIetal Remains of All Amer
can Peoples, With Some From Four
Corners Of World.

There are more than 10000 human
skulls and skeletons in the New Ma
tional Museum here. available for
qualified students. Besides there
are large quantities of individual
bones and casts of many other
squlls. the originals of which can
not be obtained.
This was revealed yesterday by
the publication of the first of a
series of scientific measurements of
these relics of the dead. Eventually
it is planned to measure each skull,
so that scientists will not be obliged
to come to Washington to carry on
their Investigations. The work is
in cHarge of DR.. Ales Hrdlicka. head
of the department of anthropology.
Meme on Exhibition.
None CT the skulls is on exhibit
tion to the general public and most
Of them are carefully packed away
on the toIs floor where they will not
be seen by the morbidly curious. The
hulk of the collection is from North
and South America and consists
mostly of Indian skulls. in the preser-
walton of which the museum is espe-
Cially interested. There also are
fine collections from Hawaii, Egypt
and a number of other countries.
The skulls and skeletons mostly
are brought in by collectors. The
basic collection of $500 was turned
over to the museum twenty-five
years ago by the Army medical
museum and this has been added to
from all corners of the world ever
since. The material is well identi-
fled as to people and locality, all
imperfect specimens having been
weeded out by DR.. HrdlCka.

is concerned with the Eskimo and
Indian tribes of Alaska and north
eastern Siberia. Analysis of 412
Eskimo crania is given. A feature
of this study, DR.. Hrdlicka points out,
Is that the Eskimo are a pure race.
There has been practically no mix
lures of other peoples which would
modify the typical headform.
The measurements, the curator
points out in his summary. further
strengthen the belief that the North
American aboriginals and the people
of eastern Asia are of the same
racial strain. An almost identical
average of head dimensions are
found. He finds that the face Of the
Alaskan Indians is broader than that
of the Mongolians, but attributes this
to the greater exercise of chewing
muscles among the men. Among the
women he finds no difference. He
proposes to show that some impor-'
tant characteristics are common to
the Alaskan Indians. the Mongolians.

Whole Mohamnnedan World
Is Threatened, as Desert
Ruler Rides on Capital of
All Islam
BY MILTON BRONNER

LONDON, Oct, --Ibn Saud, sui
tan Of Nejd, in interior Arabia, by
advancing on Mecca, capital Of King
Hussein, of Hedjaz, has just started
a blaze which may set the whole
Mohammedan world aflame.
Every one of the world powers,
including the United States, is no
ticing with uneasiness this tribal
brawl which upon it's face would APP
pear only a personal rivalry for pos
session of various deserts, palm trees,
harems and shrines.
Hussein, then sheriff of Mecca, aid
ed the Allies during the war and was
rewarded by being made king. His
territory includes the holy cities of
Mecca and Medina. To Hussein' s
sons were given the kingdoms Of
Trad, formerly Mesopotamia, and Oh
Trans-J ordania east of Palestine.
Sultan Starts War
Sultan Ibn, type of the ancient
zealot who carried the crescent
throughout the world at the point of
the scimitar, has no patience with
Hussein, his policies and his religion.
Recently he declared open warfare.
He captured Taft, Hussein's summer
capital, so miles east of Mecca. 1t is
his reported intention to seize Mecca
and drive the king to the protecting
guns of the British fleet at Jeddah.
There begins trouble for the dom
inant Christian powers.
No nation wishes to take sides in
the quarrel for fear Of offending its
own Mohammedan subjects who al.
ready are restless enough. There are

Only 100000
War Veterans Have
Applied for Bonus

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Only l.
100000 applications out Of posi-
BILE 4,5O0 900 have been received for
the soldiers bonus; and veterans
who intend to apply for the adjusted
compensation were urged to do so
without delay by Major General Rob-
ert G. Davis, adjutant general of the
army, in a statement today.
OF the applications received, $780,
900 have been examined and about
100000 have been passed and certifl-
Gates for the amounts due forwarded
to the veterans bureau, which will
make payments or otherwise COM
pensate the veterans as the adjusted
compensation law provides.
1T is imperative from the stand
point Of economy in administration"
said General Davis, who Is in
charge of the machinery for ham
ding the applications, that those
veterans who intend to- avail them
selves eventually OF the benefits con-
ferred by the act should make their
applications now. To extend the
work over a period running up to
January /, 1928, the time limit in
which applications can be made, can
result only in a material increase
in the cost of administration which
the war department is endeavoring
to hold to a minimum"

Mecca Pilgrims Complain
King Hussein, owing his rise
largely to the Allies and looking to
them for protection, would continue
friendly to Europeans. Sultan Ibn,
owing nothing to any western power,
would be for strict non-intercourse
with them if he obtained possession
Of Mecca. He can lose nothing in the
attempt.
The powers in general have moth
ing but trouble to expect from the
controversy. Only the Soviets may
gain. They will use every endeav-
or in Persia, in Afghanistan and in
Turkey to stir up animosity. The
total result may be a shaking to the
very foundations of the western ma
tons power over their Moslem sub
jects.
The reign of King Hussein, it must
be admitted, has caused dissatiSfac-
ton among Mohammedanss of many
lands. His little capital of Mecca is
the most venerated of all cities. 1t
contains the great tombs of the
sheiks, the mosque of FL Haram and
the holy shrine of the Kaaba, inclos-
ing the black stone supposed to have
been placed there by Abraham him
self.
Every year some 10000 Moham-
medan pilgrims come to kiss this
stone. They complain now that Hus-
sein has been harsh to these visitors.
Furthermore, the Turkish and Egyp-
tian religionists deny his claim to
be caliph of the Moslem world.
