broken.
Regarding the American ad
ministration relief, the ambassa
dor said that be considered it not
only a humanitarian organization
but also an "Instrument" through
which America coud be informed
of Russian condltons. He added:
"I am tranquil regarding the re
suits of their investigations."
Trotzky's Jaw hardened when
the Associated Press correspond
ent asked if the government had
any Intention of restoring the lib
erty of politltcal organizations to
Russian parties other than tht
soviet.
"When capitalism Is dead," was

now and It was decided to make a
five-game series to settle the dis
pute as to which Is the stronger
team. Next Sunday and Monday
were selected to tie the dates of
the continuation of the struggle.
Then If It is still a tie the fifth
game will be arranged.
The Clerks started off to a one
run lead In the third wjrfen they
scored off three well bunched bits,
bringing In Drake. Sage, Salem
twlrler, evened things up in bis
half of the same chapter by step

OF EARTH LIFE
New York, Aug. 28. (By Asso
ciated Press.) Proof of the pale
ontologist's pet theory that Asia
was the "mother of continents"
and the cradle of life on this globe
carrying with it great promise
of the discovery in the wastes ot
the Gobi desert of the long-sought
"missing-link" in the evolution
of mankind has been found by
the Third Asiatic Expedition led
by Roy Chapman Andrews for the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, Henry Fairfield Osborn, the
Museum's director, announced to
day. The "proof", to the uninitiate,
would appear to be just a heap of
fossilized bones, dug up by a band
ot curious men In the frozen
wastelands of Mongolia. But to
the mind trained in groping back
through hundreds of thousands of
years for history of the days when
man was not, these fossilized re
mains of dinosaurs and other pre
historic beasts and reptiles furnish
a conclusion simple and inevitable
as "two times two."

OF
T
Grenoble, France, Aug. 28.
(By Associated Press.) A new
plan for a "world association ot
states" to link together the league
of nations, the Pan-American
Union and those governments
which are members of neither, was
submitted today to the Institute of
International Law at Its meeting
here by Professor Alejandre Al
varez of Chile.
The plan was presented In the
form of a report drafted by Pro
fessor Alvarez for the 27th com
mission of the institute, which ap
proved it at an executive session
held In Paris from July 31 to Au
gust 3.
The new association would be
super-imposed upon the present
league and Pan-American Union
and would seek to encourage re
gional and continental groups
rather than attempt to replace
them entirely. It is designed to
meet the American objections to
the league of nations with the pri
mary purpose of co-ordinating the
states of the world not establish
ing a super-state.
