Bib collars, 1 collars or capelet collars are ting over big buttons which act anchors.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1931.

Scientists tielieve that some where in this foresaken jungle, the I, ■ Maya race spent those gaping ceil- | turloe, after the time they first , entered America, until they appear-' i ed several hundred years later to found their capital near the north- ' ern end of the peninsula. Archeologists are uncovering proof of a high civilization existing i lln this country as early us the 1 third and fourth centuries of the] [Christian era. What. Is now a!' I dense tropical forest, was once 1 | cleared and under extensive culti-l 1 [vation. J The pyramids, temples aud pal-; 1 ' aces of cut stone, carvings in jade,' l j frescoes, weavings, and mosaics ! , are unequaled by any people of the ' old world or the new with the possible exception of the Inca of South 1 I America. I' What caused the Mayas to I abandon this place has not been [ decided but undoubtedly the scarcity of water was one of the causes. 1 Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lind- 1 Itergh with a co-pilot and a Mien-'* tist spent three days flying over ] the country making photographs 1 [and mapping trails. The Carnegie I Institute has been granted the 1 , I privilege of carrying out archealogical investigation for a period i of ten years.

AMERICA MAKES APOLOGY FOR BUTLER’S TALK (CONTINUED FROM PAT’S ONE) that Mussolini was among those awaiting an opportunity to start another war. Butler’s explanation to tlie navy department was received late yes I terday. Early today a conference was held among high officers of the department and the courtmar- ' tial decided upon; orders were dispatched to Butler at Quantico, Va., Marine base, to place himself under arrest. , He did so within 15 minutes, turning over command of liis post to Brig. Gen. Randolph C. Berkeley. While under arrest lie is confined to the limits of the Quantico reservation and is not permitted to discuss the case witli anyone. Arrangements for convening the court w re begun immediately ill Washington, but it may be several days before tlie court can be appointed, owing to the fact that tht records of procedure in such important cases are buried deep in the army and navy files. The army lias not courtmartialed a major general since 1863 while the trial of Brig. Gen. William Mitchell for his criticism of superiors and of the air service in January. 1926, following tlie destruction of the dirigible Shenandoah, is the last time an officer of general rank in either tlie army or navy has been courtmartialed. Tlie navy was unable immediately to find in its record an account of the last trial of an officer of Butler's rank. Secretary of State Stimson re ceived Ambassador de Martino about an hour after tlie order for the courtmartial was issued. Th y were closeted together for a con [ siderable time. Wlien De Martino left Stimson issut d the following statement: "Having learned from the navydepartment tliat Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, U. S. M. C.. has admitted that the quotation of his remarks in the press was substantially correct, I have this morning handed a note to the Italian ambassador expressing to Signor Mussolini and the Italian people the deep regret of this government at this unauthorized action on the part of an officer on active duty." Stimson also gave out the text lof the written apology which he | had handed to the ambassador, it was as follows: "Excellency: I have tlie honor to express the deep regret which this government feels at the refit ctions against the prime minister of Italy in the unauthorized speech of Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, United States Marine corps, at Philadelphia, on Jan. 19. “The sincere regrets of this governin'nt are extended to Mr. Mil. [ solini and to the Italian people for this discourteous and unwarranted utterance by a commissioned officer of this government on active duty. “Accept, excellency, the rent wed assurance of my highest consideration. (Signed) “H nry L. Stimson." Butler will be the first high Mirine corps officer to be courtmartialed since 1820 wli r n Lieut. Col. Commandant Anthony Gale was tried and dismissed from the service. Since then no marine above that rank has been tried. 0 Topeka State Bank Is Re-opened Today Elkhart, Ind., Jan. 29. UR)— The I State Bank of Topeka.
