Bugs In CamOufiage Think War Game

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 18 P).
Bugs today came to the aid of the
Red" forces in the joint infantry
air corps maneuverS being held here.
While the Blue" second infantry
division was entirely successful in its
efforts to conceal itself from a hypo-
thetical RED" Army Corps, it failed
entirely to conceal itself from an
army of red bugs. There was nothing
hypothetical about the red army
corps of bugs, and the second division
suffered heavily.
The division was concealed and
camoufiaged under a heavy screen Of
green boughs and grass. The CHG
ger, known in Texas as the red bug,
abounds on such vegetation. Once on
the human body it buries itself in the
flesh and causes much more trouble
than mosquito bite. The red army

Should the heavy squadron sighted
last night off Westport, Mass, prove

THE ABORICINES OF AMERICA

MliEN the first European explorers disembarked
W on the American continent they found it already
populated by a which they thought inferior
because the Scriptures did not mention this ndgen-
Gus people. From then on, this curious conception
justified in the eyes of the Europeans the slavery
and even the destruction of the American race. A
papal bull was necessary to prove that the Red Skins
were men,
Before long biblical origin was found for this
newly discovered race. Certain people thought them
to be the descendants of Magog or of the tribes
driven from Canaan by Joshua.
Only at the beginning of the 10Th century were
scientific theories formulated as to the origin Of
this indigenous people of America. lie Francois
Quatrefages were the first to maintain that the race
OF Red Skins came, at least in part from the islands
OF the Pacific Today many scholars share this cpin-
ion, but they believe that the Melanesians and the
Polynesians inhabited only part OF America--whle
the northeast of Asia contributed much more
important part of the emigration which was to in
habit the New World
All scholars in agreement on the idea that
the Red Skins came to America comparatively re-
Gently. There have never been found sure 1r5ofs
of his presence in this country at relatively dis
tart period not even traces similar to those which
the r,thistoric men have left in the alluvions of
rivers and the of Franco. His culture his
industry and even his physical characteristics have
changed slightly since his arrival in America.
To which race does the Red Skin belong? The
brown color Of his skin, his black hair; his high
cheek bones, are characteristics which show close
proximity to the brownsh yellow branch of human
ity which comprises the Mongolans, the Malays the
Eskimos, majority of the Chinese, the Japanese,
the Thibctans and the indigenous tribes of Siberia
Even today spread all of Oriental Asia
there can be found types of identical to the most
CHARACTERISTIC types of Red Skins in America
We therefore conclude that in all probability,
the original Americans were not born on the Amer
lean continent, but they represent branch of the
Yellow race of Oriental Asia who came to America
probably in large numbers by way Of Derng Strait
and into an epoch in which the physical evolution
of the human being had already reached the stage
of modern man.-From "L'Humanitc," March g. 1927
