(By Associated Press LONDON, Jan. 6.-For the first time since its creation as a little Eng- lish city on the Yangtse river in 1861,1 Hankow appears to be slipping from British control into the grip of Chin- ese nationalists. After a night of un- relaxed tension, the outgrowth of the anti-British activities in the Yahgtse region, all the British women and children in Hankow were taken aboard vessels for Shanghai, whilel the men of the British concession were concentrated in two buildings. Late dispatches from the Hankow district indicate that the situation con- tinues most grave with the local Brit- ish naval and civil authorities strain- ing every effort to avert clashes and yielding to the Chinese to an extent which a few years ago would not have been dreamed of-all because it is realized that the smallest provocative spark might start blazes of uncon- trollable nationalist disorder. Police Disarm. Following upon the action of the' British in withdrawing their marines on Tuesday, all the volunteer policeI forces have been disarmed and the Chinese population left free to cir-] culate at will in the British quarter. The British are relying on the pledge of Eugene Chen, the Cantonese for- eign minister, of full esponsibility -for law and order withiff the conces- sion. Chen has insisted that the Can- tonese military forces will be able to maintain order in the district which the British police guarded until a few days ago, provided the Chinese are not' antagonized. All business in Hankow is at a standstill.' The voluntary military Or- ganization of the British community' lhas been taken aboard British war-1 ships in the river and British subjects have been warned not to venture on the street. Meanwhile the 'nationalists are tightening their control.

Governor J. J. Blaine and United States Senator-elect, recently attacked as a "hodge-podge of lies, half-truths and misrepresentations," the tax cate- cism issued by Professor Ford H. MacGregor of the university. Presi- dent Frank said the governor's remark carried the implication that Professor MacGregor had two courses open- either retraction or resignation fromj the university. "In the absence of Professor Mac- Gregor taking either of these courses, the governor implied that the duty of the president of the university was positive. "As long as I am president of the university," President Frank said, "complete academic freedom will notf only be accorded to members of fac- ulties, but will be vigorously defend- ed regardless of the pressure, the pow- er, or the prestige that may accomp-1 any any challenge of this inalienable right of fellowship."

The vast country, more than half as large as the entire United States, was first explored by the expedition, which was sent by the American Mu- seum of Natural History, under Mr. Andrew's direction, in 1921. Seeking to establish the theory, held by Os- Smun 23 years ago, that central Asia is the cradle of the human race, the party of 14 Anericans, with its Chin- ese assistants, went from Pekin to Kalgan, a distance of 140 miles, by rail, and then proceeded 700 miles further into the trackless wastes of Mongolia by motor and caravan. Mongolia Oldest Land. The Gobi, a bed rock desert that covers a large part of Mongolia, was the location of most of the excavations, I although the grasslands which sur-- round it were also explored The principal reason for supposing this to be the location of the origin of man is because it has been a dry land con- tinent for the longest period of time, the speaker explained. Years before America and Europe rose above the level of the sea the region of Mongo- lia was high and habitable. This fact, added to the knowledge that Mongolia is approximately the cen- ter of the land area of the world, Is the chief reason for befieving that man first existed there. Mr. Andrews be- lieves that the findings of his expedi- tion establish this point more firmly than ever before. The principal findings of the party were at the base of the Flaming Cliff, so named because of its brilliant red color, and it was here that the dino- saur eggs, the first ever uncovered, were found. There was no design on thq part of the excavators to find these eggs, in fact they "were not even sure that dinosaurs laid eggs," Mr An- drews said, but, by accident, while digging for other remains, one was uncovered and later two nests, one of fourteen and another of twelve, were discovered. "There is no doubt as to the fact that these remains are actually dino- saur eggs," the speaker explained, I "because tiny dinosaurs are actually I in two of them." Near one of the de- posits was found the skeleton of a small animal of this species that was I evidently feeding upo, the eggs when I overtaken by a sandstorm and buried. A picture, showing a restoration of the scene twenty-five million years ago, was shown by Mr. Andrews. Many of the specimens were dug out in large blocks of rock, and the ex- plorers were not aware of the nature of their discoveries -until they were removed here. ' Among the most important of the other remains discovered were those I of the largest mammals ever to ex- ist, the mammoth. Parts of one of these beasts were found standing up- right where the animal had evidently been caught in quicksands ages before. Remains also of large carniverous beasts were found, and pictures were F shown of the remains themselves and also of imaginary. restorations. In the area explored, were also found innumerable evidences of-a pre- vious civilization, both In the Nean- derthal and Paleolithic ages. The similarity of these remains to thoe found in Europe from about the same , periods establishes beyond doubt, in n the opinion of Mr. Andrews, that the n civilizations of both continents had a common source, or that the inhabitants I of on ware mere1 invadersfm nithe I flags on the municipal buildings have Dr. Sturgis who was born in Pend- been replaced with the Cantonese em- leton, Oregon, 1891, received the de- blem and all other Union Jacks have gree.of bachelor of arts at Washing- been hauled down. ton university and of doctor of medi- Try To Force Fighting cline of Johns Hopkins Medical school Behind the scenes, however, extrem- in 1917.
