just how many warships they re- quire and what size armies and air fleets they deem requisite for their national defense.
 Everybody knows that when it comes to putting down cold figures there will be trouble and complica- tions enough. That is why the nations do not want to call con- ference until the preliminaries have been carefully agreed dpon and success of the conference as- sured as far as 1t is humanly pos sible to do so.
 The present deadlock is due to the fact that the nations are not in agreement as to just what types of cruisers and submarines should be subjected to limitation or re- duct.on agreement. France and Great Britain reached a tentative accord that, for the present, efforts should be restricted to an agree ment on cruisers carrying guns of mere than six-ineh calibre and submarines of over 600 tons dis placement. This practically means that the eight-inch gun cruiser would be limited; also ocean-go- ing submarines. However, the United States has found this idea unacceptable on the ground that it would not curb an armament race, since it would render pos sible an unrestricted building of small cruisers and submarines,

which, in the American view, po- sesses offensive power.
 AS the Anglo plan has been rejected by the United States, even as a basis of discussion, the naval experts must begin all over again and strive to find some form ula which will be acceptable to all the great naval powers, for every body knows it would be folly to conyoke an international confer ence when nations are still with out agreement as to just what war ships are to be treated at the con- terence.

suggests, DR.. Marshall declared, that
fluctuations in sunlight, with vol
canic dust interruptions influenced
mammalian evolution by favoring
virile species with the more plastic
calcium mechanisms and this condi-
ton helped mold the new foot and
tooth structures of the period.
Favored by centuries of warmth
and sunshine the great sluggish
reptiles were faced with the glacial
cold of the ice age and ultraviolet
deficiency at the same time.
Ricketts,, now universally known as
malady of babies, may also have
been responsible for the death of the

SMITH REFUTES

Charges of Religious Preiu-
dice Are Proved False by
Survey of Records.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, April 10.-In a
desperate effort to check AL Smiths
drive toward the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination, his political
enemies have resorted to charges
that he has Disseminated against
Protestants in his appointment of
men and women to office in New
York.
With material furnished by Jay
w. Forrest of Albany, a longtime
enemy of the New York Governor
and organizer Of body known as
the Sons and Daughters of Wash
ington, newspapers in the South and
West have published articles to the
effect that AL Smiths judicial ap-
pointments were Catholics.
It is alleged that he named men
of hiA own faith to most judicial
posts falling vacant during his four
terms.
Though the Smith spokesman de-
plorU introduction of the religious
issue into the political situation, this
Gpe43 and whispering campaign has
reached such proportions that notice
had to be taken of it. And a sum-
mary of the Governors appoint
ments has been distributed as an
answer to Forests propaganda.
This reveals that of thirty-two
judicial appointments made by Gov
ernor Smith fifteen have been Cath
olics, fourteen have been Protestants
and three have been Jews. Most Of
the men named by Smith, it is said,
have subsequently been elected by
the people of New York.

ligious factor in politics and public

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, April
10.-VaSt clouds of dust thrown up
by volcanoes during certain dis
turbed eras of the earth's existence
cut out the ultraviolet rays in sun
light and so deprived dinosaurs and
other grotesque monsters of the past
of one of their necessary sources of
vitality.
This is one of the newest theories
to explain how dinosaurs became ex-
tinct, proposed by DR.. Harry T.
Marshall, pathologist of the Uni
versity of Virginia, as reported to
the scientific journal, the American
Naturalist.
Lack of ultra violet light and the
antirachitic vitanin D bring about

new enemies and the cold climatic
changes brought about by glaciers Of
the ice age may have caused the
disappearance of many animals that

known to biologists as the Phiocene
and the Pleistocene, the lack Of
ultraviolet light is felt by DR.. Mar
shall to be the main cause.
1t was during this period that the
greatest evolutionary changes in the
teeth and certain bones, notably the
feet, occurred. This argument ia

life is best reflected in his selection
of his cabinet, according to his
friends.
Upon adoption of his program for
constitutional reorganization of 165
State departments into eighteen,
Smith had the naming of thirteen
department heads. He named nine
Protestants, three Catholics and one
Jew.
In appointment of men and wom-
en- to important department posts
and commissions Smith has clearly
demonstrated his freedom from any
religious discrimination, his asso-
ciates say. Of sixty appointments
of this kind forty-three have been
ProtestantS, twelve Catholics and
five Jews.
