After much research, DR.. Blake said
he was confident the animal is an

size they range from the proportions
of squirrel to those Of an ordinary

it being native of the tropics.

In the first interview given to
American newspaper correspon-
dents since he began to exchange
views with French and American
statesmen, Henry L. Stimson, Am
erican Secretary of State, empha-
sized that the sole present mission
of Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary
of the Treasury, and himself is
to offer their utmost aid toward
the finding of a cure for Europe's
existing financial emergency. This
holds true, Mr.. Stimson said, as
regards both the meetings here
and the London conference. At
ter re-affirming Washington's in
depreciation that the American
delegates activities i'll the pres
ent circumstances must be con-
fined to the financial, and not the
political, aspects of the situation.
Mr.. Stimson commented upon the
helpful and hopeful spirit he found
dominating the International "con-
versatfons" here. He expressed
confidence that a solution of the
problems would be found.
America having set it's shoulder
to the wheel in the financial and
economic crisis, threatening sta
bility not only abroad but in this
country, is not drawing back. Pres

a motion to start taking adverse
testimony as much earlier than
that date as possible. The pre-

the railway executives and their
