WARSAW, August 18.--Marshal Pi-
sudski, Foreign Minister Zaleski and
officials of the Polish foreign ofice held
an urgent meeting at the Belvedere
palace last night regarding the con-
troversy with Lithuania. A note was
drawn up and dispatched to Kovno in
answer to the recent note of Premier
waldemaras refusing Polish proposal
that a conference between representa-
tives of the two countries be held at
Geneva on August 80.
Premier Waldemaras is understood to
have taken the position that affairs OF
the League of Nations viii be upper
most at that time and would prevent
a serious discussion of the Polish
Lithuanian dificulties.
The speed with which the Polish
government sent an answer to this COM
| naunication Is interpreted here as
clearly showing Poland's seriousness In
the Lithuanian negotiations.

the Cobb Desert, relics discovered by
the Central Asiatic expedition led by
DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews indicate.
Thousands of relics showed the num-

which these dune dwellerS had attained.
Traces of human beings dating back
10000 years have been found preVi-

These people were wonderiuliy
clever" DIR. Andrews said. They lived
anparently in a transition period be-
tween the old and new stone ages. The
countryside was saturated with people
and they hunted In the woods, hshed
in the lakes and streams and built
shelters on the dunes of skins, bark
and timbers.

At the time they lived in the area
