SKULL OF "MISSING LINK"
 IS REPORTED AS FOUND
Complete Head Bones of Pre- Histor- ic Ape-Like Creature Is Uncoy-
 cred in Central Java.

Batavia, Java, Sept. 2S LPl-Prof. Hoberlein of the Netherlands govern ment medical service has discovered at Trinn, in Central Java, a com plctc skull of the prehistoric ape like creature termed by some tn" missing link" and by science Pithe. conthropus Erectus.
 The skull was found at the same place where Prof. Eugene Dubois of Amsterdam University discovered in 1892 the upper part of a skull, two teeth and thigh bone. from which was reconstructed the previously unknown ape-lile human designated as Pithecanthropus Erectus. Prof. TIcberleins specimen, which is complete and sound. will be kept in Dutch East India, as the exporta- tion Of such relics is prohibited.
 Much discussion followed Dr. Du- ! hois' discovery, with many authori . ties opposing his theory. The crea- ture was not held to bridge the en- tire gulf between man and the ape, but some scientists argued that it constituted a further piece of evi- dcnce in that direction.
 London Sept 2S Pt-British an- thropologists were thrilled today by the report from Java of the finding of q complete skull of Pithecanthro- pus Erectus. Sir Arthur Keith, one of the best known authorities on the subject, is cutting short holiday to return to London in hope of get ting more complete information re- | garding the find.
 Miss Mildred Tidesley. who has catalogued more tban 5000 skulls al the Royal College of Surgeons, be- lieves that If the reported discovery is true, it is the most important o many years, as complete skulls or prehistoric humans are exceedingly rare.
 New York, Sept, 2S.-PAThe discovery of the prehistoric skull oi an ape-llke creature at Trinil, Cen. tral Java, was hailed today by Dr George A. Dorsey, scientist and author, as an important link in the chain of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.
 There is no reason why more ot these fossils should not be found, he said, 'so that in time the cumu- lative evidence will be such as tc convince anybody.
 "The story of mans evolution is fool-proof. There is no doubt about it and this new find if it is what the cablegram says it is. will aid the scientist, who had no doubt, to con, vince the layman, who persists 1T his doubting."

IMPROVED OUTLOOK FOR COTTON

The Journal of Commerce of New York has made an important and interesting survey of the cotton prospects for the pres ent year It's estimate of June l, which covers the twelve principal cotton-produc ing States, indicates decrease of 2,45O, ,OOO bales. The governing facts which appear to lead the journal to this estimate are a decrease in acreage of 2.3 per cent and condition of 65.9 per cent of normal com pared with 73 per cent at this time last year, combined with the fact that, on the average, the crop is eighteen days later than last year. when 1t was unusually early Should the reduction approach anything like the estimate then the surplus from the present crop probably will be needed, in addition to the new crop, to meet the worlds requirements of American cotton for the coming season.
 The total exports of American cotton to date this year are slightly below those of last year, but recently the exports have been running somewhat above those for the corresponding weeks of last year, so that by the end of the season the aggregate exports may easily be equal to the total of last year
 One factor that is not mentioned by the Journal of Commerce is the decrease in the quantities of fertilizer purchased this year as compared with last year. It is re- hably stated that, up to the present time, the fertilizer purchases are about 10 per cent less than for the corresponding per iod last year, and the purchases for the entire season are likely to be even less than 90 per cent of last years purchases. In spite of the fact that the 1925 crop was g. 5OO,OOO bales larger than the 1924 crop, and that the 1924 crop was almost 3,50O,OOO bales larger than the 1928 and 1922 crops. statistics indicate that the worlds visible supply of cotton at the present time is only 100000 bales greater than a year ago. This surplus apparently will be cas- fly absorbed with a continuation of for eign and domestic demand no greater than at present. The outlook for the pro- ducing interests during the coming season, therefor, seems to be encouraging. A fair crop and fair prices are better than very small crop and low prices.
 In the consideration of the agricultural problem there is no more important crop than cotton, affecting as it does, a large area and large population in funda- mental way.

Labor Sports Union
Faces New Tasks

The field for sport activities in Illi-
nois is a very good one. The young
workers who are Influenced by the cap
italist clubs could be taken away if the
Labor Sports Union will take initiative
in organizing the sport activities for
the coming summer.
The conference that was held in Chi
cago laid the basis for future work.
In the future special attention must be
paid to southern Illinois, where diff
ferent kinds of teams are organized in
the mining towns. The Labor Sports
Union will have to put its energy to
organizing those young miners under
the slogan, workers sports as against
capitalist sports" Similar conferences
as the one in Chicago will be and must
be arranged in cities and towns where
the sports movement is controlled by
the capitalists.

WILL CELEBRATE
FOURTH YEAR OF
DAILY FREIHEIT
Chicago Workers to Fill
Temple Hall Saturday

Saturday evening workers of Chi
cago will celebrate the fourth ami
versary of the Jewish Daily Freiheit
at the Temple Hall, corner of Van
Buren, and Marshfield streets.
The anniversary of the Jewish Daily
Freiheit is really the holiday of the
workers that know and understand
what this Jewish Communist Daily
has accomplished in it's four years of
existence. The Jewish labor move,
.ment was generally very reactionary
four years ago. The Jewish labor
movement then had for its undisputed
leaders the pillars of Samuel Com
pers, such as Schlesinger and Morris
Hillquit. The most popular daily
newspaper in the Jewish language
was the Forward, which defends all
counter-revolutionary activities of the
Second international and enemies of
Soviet Russia. But tremendous
changes have taken place. A power
full left wing has grown and has won
brilliant victories in freeing the Jew
ish labor movement Of the control of
the enemies of the working class.
The treacherous Forward" has lost
most Of its power to deceive the Jew
ish masses. And there can be no
one to dispute the Jewish Daily Fret
heit has been powerful instrument
of this great change.
The workers of Chicago know the
value of the Jewish Daily Freiheit.
The anniversary this Saturday at the
Temple Hall, Chicago, will therefore
be the expression of their recognition
and appreciation of the role of their
fighting organ. The sacrifices that
the Jewish workers of New York and
other cities have endured, for the
Freiheit will surely be shown in Chi
cago at the anniversary.
The workers of Chicago have in the
past made each anniversary of the
Freiheit a great revolutionary holk
day. 1t is the event when all differ
emit parts of our movement come to-
gether and made it a holiday.
Comrade Moissaye ]. Olgin, who is
the most popular writer and orator of
the Jewish labor movement, will come
to participate. Comrade c. E. Ruth
enberg, the national secretary Of the
Workers (Communist) Party will
speak at this celebration. A very
elaborate and fine musical program
will be rendered.
It is hoped that the class conscious
and revolutionary workers of other
nationalities will come to the anni-
versary of the Freiheit in order to ex-
press their international solidarity
with the Jewish workers.
Don't waste your breath, put Il on
naneP.
