Various archaeologocial authorities in London, in interviews with the United Press, have outlined the plans for the coming year These projects include more diggings among the buried ruins of ancient Greece, studies in the hot sands of the Sahara Desert, further penetration into the unknown regions of Mongolia, searchings among the remains of South African Bushmen, the unearthing of remnants of Roman culture in Britain and further expeditions to Abysinnia, Persia, Palestine, Egypt and Assyria. New Light on Greeks What looms as the most important undertaking during the next twelve months is the work to be accomplished in Greece by Dr. Edward Capps, professor of Greek at Princeton University; and his American collegues.

In England and Scotland, excavations of fossilized remains will be made while other scientists will concentrate -upon the same subject in France, Germany, and along the Mediterranean coast.

A mineralized skull of what is believed to have been a Neanderthal woman was recently found there, creating the belief that perhaps the human race came into existence in the same region whfre Christianity was given birth.

In all probability, private expeditions from both France and England will go there. CHAPLIN LOSES THRONE Ronald Colman Leads Contest of English Movie Fans. LONDON, Dec.
