NEW YORK. August 20.-Simul-
taneously with the announcement
from Peking that 1t was believed by
Roy Chapman Andrews that there
had been found in Mongolia traces
of the earliest type of man in his
development from the ape" comes
the announcement that Mr.. Andrews
and his expedition, working under
the auspices of the American Museum
of Natural History. have been or.
dered by the Mongolian government
to cease their exploration work and
depart from Mongolia.
Whether Mr.. Andrews will obey
the edict is not yet known. Alleged
political propaganda in stirring UP
the Mongolians against the red
bolsheviks" and the making of topo-
graphical observations were given as
the reason for the government al
Urga desiring the Americans to
leave.
Mr.. Andrews is now in Peking. On
his arrival in the Chinese capital he
reported that his expedition among
the sand dunes of the Cobb Desert
where once a great lake existed. had
found weapons and other implements
of a race that wandered the region
many centuries ago-probably the
earliest type of mankind vet discov-
cred. He called the race the dune
dwellers of Shabarack Ussu," giving
1t the name of the region where the
traces of its prior existence were
unearthed.
Earliest Human Found.
Additional rare discoveries made nv
the expedition, Mr.. Andrews said. in.
Guided traces of other primitive hu.
mans; skeletons of two of the post.

some large and some small-and the
skulls of animal types which the ex.
plorer and scientist believed illustrat

the reptile to the mammal stage.
OF the dune dwellers," Mr.. An
drews said:
In these we believe we have found
the earliest type of man in his devel
opment from the ape"
There was evidence of the traces
uncovered by the American expedt
tion," Mr.. Andrews said, that the
dune dwellers' lived in a basin among
the sand dunes where once was the
shore line of a lake. An abundance
OF flint and Jasper implements and
weapons and the remains of fire.
places were discovered, together with
charred animal bones and layers OF
ashes"
No human bones were found. II
was the opinion of Mr.. Andrews that
the discoveries constituted an indi
cation of a primitive culture that
went from Europe to Asia
Clue to Americas Past.
Discoveries by the expedition NAV
prove important as a clue to deter.
mine the place of America in mans
development. DIR. Clark Wissler, an.
thropologist of the American Museum
OF Natural History, said today.
The significance of these discover.
les is great he said. "They show
for one thing, that the Stone Age
culture Of Asia paralleled that of
Western Europe. When the first try
for paleolithic man in central Asia
not only returns rich collections. but
reveals two widely separated horizons
1t is certain that the whole chapter of
Stone Age history Is to be read in
Asia as well as Europe.
This prospect holds out a promise
for America, where there has as vet
been no clue to the direct relations of
prehistoric man to the ancients of the
old world, and once we know the
story of the Stone Age in eastern Asia
there Is every reason to believe that
the place of prehistoric America can
be determined.
