IN HE Smithsonian institution, II
sending DIR. Ales Hrdlicka I,
the Bering Strait region o
Il Alaska on an ethnologica
expedition, is making what /.
regarded as the first definitely ap
pointed attempt to answer the intrigu
ing question:
Whence came the first American:
Anthropologists have differed widely
in their opinions regarding the orig
fnal habitat of the red man. Fol
many years it was generally thought
he was descended from II group OF
Asiatic Vikings" who set out, many
in Siberia and crossed the compare
lively narrow Bering Straits t.
Alaska.
Certain racial characteristics of the
Eskimo had strengthened this belief
with reference to that people particu
larly.
OF late years. however. the trend OF
opinion among recognized ethnolo-
gists has been to regard the Eskimo
as an offshoot of the Indian family
who took root in the land of ice
and snow after a daring pioneering
journey from his former home farther
south. This theory did not settle the
prior all-absorbing question regarding
the origin of the Indian, however.
Sages of some of the Indian tribes
have told their children of a legendary
conflict which took place long, long
ago between their forefathers and
strange invaders from the western
seas. The great battle is supposed
TO have occurred in Alaska. These
stories, Of course. are purely tradi-
tonary, but they have a peculiar at
S'action for those inclined to look for
} Mongolian, or Asiatic. origin of the
indian.
The effect of nearly every research
into this problem has been to con-
firm the Aslatic theory. There is
scarcely an alternative suggestion
available. The first Indian certainly
came from somewhere. He could not
readily have ''just grown up" like
TopSy. Traditions of the Indians
themselves. furthermore. serve to give
credepce to the belief that all of the
tribes emigrated to their modern loca-
tions over the North and South Amer
lean continents from some common
point in the Far Northwest.
America is not the only nation
whose anthropologists have strived to
solve the Indian problem. Denmark
several years ago sent it's noted
Arctic explorer and Eskimo expert.

quest of the original habitat OF the
Eskimo. Rasmussen expedition is
said to have merely fortified the CON
rention that the Raw Fish Eater" is
descended from the Indian of warmer
climeS.
Rasmussen. during his three-year
'nush" across the frozen wastes near
the Arctic Circle. discovered tribes of
Eskimos who had never before seen a
white man. Having himself been
reared among the Eskimos and ca
pable of conversing in their languages
with proficiency born of long asso-
citation with the snow dwelers. the
Danish explorer was able to gain much
valuable information as to the tradi-
tions of these peoples. Apparently.
Rasmussen found nothing of startling
Importance or Of radical character in
his researches, else the world before
this would have heard of it.

How to Secure World Peace

"H HERE Is but one certain way
to secure world peace. That
is the will to peace. That will
Il existed In the whole American
Expedit!onary Force at II
o'clock on the 11th day Of November.
1918. When 100000 men on che
firing line found themselves free from
the dangerr Of enemy bullets. the feel
ing was that 1.-THE war against war"
had ended and permanent peace would
be garnsred. To he sure. in later
days. when divisions arose and ma
tionalism endangered peace. there
were many soldiers who said. 1--WE
ought not to have signed an armistice.
We should have gone OH to Berlin
and eXacted terms after a military
victory" But nobody uttered such
sentiments at that time. Not even
Gen. Foch, who was deemed SO mill
.taristic at Paris that he and Presi-
dent Wilson Cid not see eye to eye.
At that time Gen. Foch said:
1.-THE only aim Of war is to obtain
results. II the Germans sign an
armistice on the general lines we have
just determined we shall have obtain
ed the result we seek. Our aims be-
right to shed another drop Of blood"
When the Versailles treaty was
signel at that palace, the scene Of SO
much happiness and so many trag-
edies, there were no seed of disrup.
ton, no tares to grow and strangle
the wheat in that compact, II the ma
ton which had pressed for the per-
manent peace pact should support the
signatures of It's representatives. Ger
many did not trust France and France
feared England's greed for colonies.
France. with the memory OF past suf-
ferings, could not believe Germany
would carry out its pledges unless
John Bull and Uncle Sam would guar.
antee to defend France In case of at
tack. Italy. enamoured of it's poet
soldier, looked to making the Adriatic
Sea an Italian lake. and Greece hoped
to live again In the GLORY that was
Greece" The new nations. created
or reborn, felt the need of the as
surance which only the United States,
far removed geographically from Eu-
rope. and having no territorial aspira-
tions, alone could give. So In 1919
the cement for the pact was the dis.
interestedness of the United States
and the spirit of helpful leadership
and friendly brotherhood. That SOL
vent at hand. peace could he realized.
With it withdrawn there was no
ameliorating cementing influence.
This does not mean that Uncle Sam
was expected to send legions to Eu-
rope to enforce peace terms. Every
sensible man in this country and
abroad knew no company could cross
the seas without the direction Of Con-
rress. It meant that the will to peace
nv the United States and other coun-
tries would soften asperities and lead
nations to compose their differences.

LAW FOR HOLDING
FUG|T|VES SOUGHT
Hesse Favors Legislation to
Benefit Other CitieS-PiS-
toll Curb Stressed.

Legislation to enable the local au-
thorities to deal more effectively with
fugitives from justice in other juris-
dictions and law providing a penal
ty for making false reports to the
police are urgently needed in Wash
ington, in addition to an act to curb
the sale and possession of pistols ana
other dangerous weapons, according
to Mai. Edwin B. HeSse, Superintend-
ent of Police.
A few days ago Maj. Hesse an
nounced his intention of pressing Tor
action at the next session of Congress
on the dangerous weapon BILL Whlle
he regards that as the paramount leg
islative need of his department, ne
mentioned the other two proposals to-
day as worthy of consideration by the
District committees of the Senate ana
House.
on the question of fugitives, the
department wants law to permit the
police to hold for a reasonable period
of time a person whose uetentlon
has been requested by the authorities
of another CITY. While such a pro-
vision would be of most direct benefit
to the outside jurisdictions, the Dis
trict police have occasion daily to
seek assistance of other cities IN
looking for persons wanted mere, II
was pointed out, and it is felt by
police officials that the local depart
ment would benefit indirectly by be-
Ing able to render better cooperation
10 other American cities.
Whether a bill providing a spe-
cific method of dealing with the
fugitive problem will be drafted by
the Commissioners for the Decem-
Der session of Congress has, not been
definitely determined.
The other proposal of penalizing
individuals who put the Detective
Bureau and the precincts to useless
work in running down false reports
of crimes made some Roadway at
the last session of Congress and may
become a law during the next Ses-
sion. This bill passed the Senate in
April and was referred to the sub
committee on judiciary of the House
District committee, which will take
it up for consideration in December
The bill for strict regulation OF
weapons is also pending at the Capt.
toll and will be stressed by police
officials when Congress reconvenes.
Maj. Hesse believes that local laws
dealing with deadly weapons should
be reinforced by passage of the pend
ing bill to prohibit the shipment of
firearms through the mail, except
to dealers or others entitled by law
TO receive them.
