ous of Germany still--Communi-
 cation Has. Not Been Received.
 Montfaucon, in the Argonne, France, Sept. S.-Former Premier Poincare, who since he relinquished office has been chary of political references in his public speeches is moved to break his silence by the German attempt to disavow the blame for starting the great war. Speaking yesterday at the opening of a new schoolhouse here to re- place one wrecked during the war, M. Poincare said:
 Before the traces Of war are effaced, here Is Germany trying to evads her responsibility. Only yes- terday she replied to the Advances made her by repudiating the for nal admissions of her leaders. She ardently hopes that the treaty of Versailles will collapse if but one of its pillars Is shaken, but 1t shall not be touched by pleading inno- cence.
 Today Germany adds, in 1924, to the cynicism of which she gave proof in 1914. Everybody will un- derstand that we have the right to be suspicious and to be upon our guard"
 Paris Sept. s.--The note which 1t vas reported Germany intended issuing to disavow her responsibil- ity for the war has not yet been re- ceived by the French foreign office, and there Is well-defined opinion in foreign office quarters that such & document will not be forthcom- ing Official information given out today, however, was to the effect that should such a note reach the Quai D'Orsay reply quoting the treaty of Versailles as to respons- bility for the war would be immedi- ately sent to Berlin.

SCIENCE SEEKS BIRTH
PLACE OF MAN IN
MAGNOLIA DESERT
Andrews Again Heads Party Hoping
to Find Traces of Man a Million
and a Half Years Ago.

Having established to their owr
satisfaction the fact that man exist
ed 100000 years ago, scientists viii
now attempt to trace his origin back
another million years.
Led by Ray Chapman Andrews,
who returned from Asia a year ago
with a nest Of 20 dinosaur eggs ten
million years old, another expedition
sailed from the United States May
25th for China. Thence the party
will proceed into the heart of the
Cobb desert in Mongolia, where it is
hoped a five-year search will reveal
further amazing secrets concerning
the early life of man, beast and rep
tile.
As in the previous expedition, the
scientists will rely on American
built motor cars and trucks, for trans
portation, although roads are un-
known in most of the vast territory
to be explored. Mr.. Andrews re-
Gently visited Dodge Brothers factory
in Detroit, where five cars were be-
ing equipped for the expedition. Mr..
Andrews expressed great satisfaction
with the new equipment and repeated
that he attributed a great share of
the success of his last memorable ex-
petition to the remarkable endurance
of Dodge Brothers cars. These made
it possible to accomplish a 30-year
task in three years. In view Of this
experience it was only natural that
he should again insist upon Dodge
Brothers cars for his next expedition.
Fifteen scientists representing IL
branches of learning, chosen from
1000 applicants constitute the party.
While scientists differ on the sub
ject, especially since the discovery Of
the SOC, OOO-year-old Foxhill man in
England, Mr.. Andrews is of the be-
lief that man evolved in Asia and
that it will be in the younger rocks
of Mongolia, if anywhere, that traces
of his first activities will be found.
He is strongly supported in this the
DRY by such an eminent scientist as
Henry Fairfield Osborn, who was re-
ferred to by William jennings Bryan
in their famous debate on evolution,
as "a tall professor who comes down
out of the trees to push good people
who believe in God off the sidewalk"
"When we found the ten-million-
year-old dinosaur eggs, we were ex-
aiming rocks older than humanity, y
said Mr.. Andrews. "But now we are
going to the rocks where human re-
mains are more likely to exist. 1t is
a gamble, but we think the prospects
justify gambling"
In their quest the scientists will
push farther west than they have
ever gone before, working both to the
north and the south, of the Altai
mountains. AS the beginning of ex-
ploration will be made about 1000
miles from the nearest base, Kalgan,
it will be necessary to organize with
special care. Arrangements have
been made for 200 camels to carry
provisions ahead of the motor trucks.

launch the arrow Of sarcasm at
labor, we never forget it; if there
is a division in congress, and yau
throw your vote in the wrong scale,
we never forget. You may go down

were caused by wet or slippery pave

The tendency of too many automo-

EVERY MEMBER OF UNION

Every member of organized labor
should consider himself a salesman
a salesman of union labor. He should
be trained to argue all the good
points and be able to answer all in
quiries. He should be familiar with
the mistakes of the unions or the out
standing mistakes of members that
have entered so largely into the prop
uganda of the enemy. He should be

able to present the facts from the
point of economy-and in every way
be able to meet the arguments of
the enemy. He should know that the
natural enemies of organized labor
are comparatively few; that the nat

sell, and from this standpoint bring
confusion to the enemy.-Union
