The geologists and geographers con-
sidered the birth and growth of COLI

to the men who came later to dwell
upon them, while the web of life itself
was unfolded before the Geological
Society of America.
There is no independent influence
of any factor" Dr. K. Friedrichs of the
University of RoStock. visiting profess
Sor at the University of Minnesota, told
the biologists. They all influence one
another directly and are connected by
a mutual interrelation. 1t appears
strange that the fact that nature is a
great unity seemed to be forgotten for
a certain time. You al know the web of
life. Connect together the inorganic
and the organic web and you have the
unity of nature"

finished flight from London to Cape
town and return.
He has purchased new Fokker
plane, of the same make as the one in

Summer of 1927. He will take the same
pilot who guided his several European
and African trips in the last years.
Mr. Black will be accompanied on the
Capetown trip of Renne Naccoll of Lon
don, formerly reporter on the Balti-
more Sun.
On May IA last Mr.. Black started
on flight from London to Capetown,
but abandoned the trip at Khartum, in
he Sudan, because of engine diff
culties.-
When he returns to London from
Capetown, Mr.. Black expects to fly to
Toxic and return, and then bring his
plane to America. From Baltimore he
plans flight to San Francisco, to be
followed by tour of all South Ameri-
can countries. His flying schedule will
embrace most of the year of 1929. The
Baltimore publisher has already flown
over more than 20 different nations.

BOLIVIA CAPTURES
PARAGUAYAN FORT
Advances IL Miles Into Dis
puted Territory, Note
to u. S. Says.

BY the Associated Press.
A note advising the State Department
that Bolivian troops had recaptured
Fort Vanguardia, where the clash oc-
Cured on December 6, which precipi-
tated the present Bolivian-Paraguayan
controversy, and that Bolivian forces
had advanced IL miles into Paraguayan
territory, was transmitted to the State
Department today by the Paraguayan
charge d'affaires, Juan Ramirez.
Development Ominous.
Coming at time when it seemed that
the danger of war had been averted. the
latest development in the long drawn
out dispute was regarded as ominous,
since the two armed clashes that have
taken place on the border this month
threw both countries into high state
of excitement. Diplomatic relations
were severed and Paraguay ordered
mobilization of troops after fight near
Fort Boqueron.
The pressure for peace has been
steady, however, and both countries
have signifled their willingness for
mediation by the Pam American Con-
ference on Cancellation and Arbitration.
This had proceeded to the point where
both had set forth their views on the
matters in dispute and appointment Of
tribunal for mediation was contem-
plated when replies to the protocol were
received.
The Paraguayan Dispatch.
The Paraguayan dispatch to its le-
cation said:
Bolivian troops have occupied anew
Fort Vanguardia, abandoned after the
last happening. The troops (Bolivian)
still retain Boqueron "a Paraguayan
fort) and have advanced four leagues
(2 miles) farther into the interior,
threatening the zone occupied by the
Mennonite colony. All this took place
without fighting, taking advantage OF
the order given our troops to cease hos
tilities.
LAS soon as it accepted the good
Offices of the Government at Washing
ton, this government paraguay re-
voked the order which had been given
to reoccupy Boqueron as proof OF Its
good faith.
"All the foregoing shows that Bolivia
has not complied with its promises and
a very grave situation again Is created.
because Paraguay alone canot avoid
new fighting"
