The historian narrated that 5000
strong men tore great rock from
the mountain, and dragged it to the
bridge of Xolac, which broke under
the weight and the rock was buried
in the depths of the lake. The king
ordered new rock to be torn from

dripping from the sacriflcal stone.

1790, the monolith was rediscovered
in lowering the grade of the pave

cathedral. It was then built into
the base of the southwestern wall
of the cathedral, where it remained
until August, 1885. 1t had. however,
been considered the property of the
National Museum, which finally
took charge of it to preserve it
from the elements. 1t took several
weeks to move it. 1t now stands

The recent addition Of group of
recorded symphonic masterpieces to

ing with enthusiastic approval
among lovers of the musical classics
in Washington and elsewhere, &C
cording to letters received by The

Among the many interesting let

to offer for the second time the

year was one from former District

"As there are no means for hear

other election is to roll round in two
years, when the control of the House
will be at stake, one-third of the

large number of governorships.
To lose control of the House two
years hence, would in the opinion
of the Democratic leadership, pre-
sage a possible defeat in the pres
idential election in 1914.
Furthermore, the leadership is
anxious to bring about more harmo-
nious feeling and action among
Democratic members of Congress.
They would like to see the division
between the New Dealers and the So
called anti-New Dealers In the House

Flynn Seeks to Bind Up Wounds.
Mr.. Flynn is back from three
week vacation in Santo Domingo
ready to get down TO work on the
many problems that necessarily con-
front a national chairman, even
though his party has just won a
victory. Today he appeared before
the Federal grand jury, which is
looking into the matter of cam
paign expenditures ard possible vio-
lations of the Hatch Act. He came
here Saturday to attend the dinner
of the Gridiron Club
Already he has had the oppor-
tunity to confer with number Of
Democratic leaders.
One of his main objectives now
is to bind up all party wounds. The
invitations, more or less impera-
tive, which will go out to national
committeeman and State ChaiImen
are in line with this purpose.
There is room for greater harmony
among the New York Democrats
themselves. Former Postmaster
General and National Chairman
Farley is still New York State chair
man. Mr.. Farley was opposed to a
third-term nomination and said so.
He came to the aid of the national
ticket toward the close OF the cam
paign. when it looked as if New
York might be lost to the President
Now that the third-term tradition
has been smashed. it is argued that
Mr.. Farley may we'll take a different
attitude and work in harmony with
the national organization again.
Flynn Won't Move Here.
Mr.. Flynn. it is understood, will
keep his hand on the affairs of the
national committee, although he will
not live in Washington. He will
come here once or twice week from
New York, where he is Democratic
leader of the Bronx. One of his jobs
necessarily will be to make recon-
mendations to the President regard

Red Cross Food Ships
Await Permission
To Go 10 Europe
Prospects Believed Good
For Getting Z Coreoes
To Spain and France
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Red Cross has
made tentative arrangements to
send food ships to hungry Europe
one to Spain and the other to un-
occupied France-it was learned
authoritatively today.
Actual departure of the ships de-
pends on successful outcome Of
negotiations in progress between the
United States and British govern
ments, and the prospects there were
considered good.
While unwilling to exert pressure
on the beleaguered British govern
ment for a general lifting of the
blockade, the State Department, 1t
was learned, Is seeking permission
for an American ship to proceed to
Marseilles with a cargo of con-
densed milk and concentrated vita
min products for undernourished
children in unoccupied France.
The British government has ruled
out any relaxation of the blockade
for food shipments to countries oc-
cupied or dominated by Germany,
blocking proposals for a large-scale
American relief program in conti-
mental Europe.
Cargo for Spain.
Seeking a continuance OF Spain's
neutrality, however, Britain has
granted permits for some food ship
ments from South America to Spain,
where need already is acute, and
Is understood to be willing to sane
tion the projected 100000 ship
load of foodstuffs from the United
States.
Since the American Red Cross is a
neutral, humanitarian organization
Norman H. Davis, its chairman, is
reported in informed quarters to be
insisting that any Red Cross help
must 60 ito all who are suffering
in Europe"
The Red Cross, therefore, has
taken the position, it is reported
that if and when 1t sends a shipload
OF food to Spain,- it must also be
allowed to send similar help to
infants and children in unoccupied
France. the other victims of the
war who most urgently need food
now.
An authoritative American survey
OF food conditions in Europe, now
before the State Department, re-
ported that none of the German-in-
vaded countries would face actual
starvation for another five to six
months. The State Department, il
was said, would therefore defer any
action on the relief plans for those
countries two or three months.
Situation Bad in Spain.
The same survey emphasized, how
ever. that Spaniards already were
going hungry, with the situation
daily growing worse, and that there
was an urgent need for milk and
vitamin products for children in
unoccupied France.
The Red Cross has given assist
ance in this war to Great Britain
Norway, Belgium, France, the Meth
erlands, Poland, Finland, Greece
Switzerland and Canada, it was
pointed out, and offered assistance
to Germany, which replied it needed
no help.
The British have permitted
medicines and medical supplies to
pass through the blockade to un-
occupied France, but have refused
to grant permits for foodstuffs to
enter the same area. A COM
premise of the American and British
positions could be reached, it was
said, if the British would liberalize
their definition of medical supplies
to include condensed milk and
vitamin products, which are de-
signed to ward of malnutrition.
