Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oliver, photographed on arrival. Mrs. Charles Oliver, known to the world as Ruth Law, famous aviatrix, recently returned to New York from across the Atlantic with her husband. Oliver has acted as agent for the daring flier for many seasons. She has been flying in Europe.

Ethuologists Tell R. A. S. MacAlister, professor of Celtic Archaeology, University college, Dublin, in the London Times. In a paper by Dr. A. C.'Haddon (now of Cambridge),, published some thirty years ago in the Proceedings Of the Royal Irish academy, a .statement is made that there is no savage island in the South Seas concerning whose ethnology we know less than we know about the ethnology of Ireland. Startling though it be, this statement was true when it was made, and it Is equally true today. The scientific study of Irish ethnology can hardly be said to have begun. All genuine loVers of Ireland must deplore the-curse of political strife by which the country is blighted, and by which every undertaking for her benefit is hampered. None deplore it so much as those to whom she presents a fascinating and inexhaustible field of scientific study. To take but one example the numerous prehistoric monuments in the fields of Ireland are among the last vurviving relics of the ancient Bronze Age culture of Europe; the culture which is more favorably situated lands developed into the civilizations of Crete, of Greece, and of Etruria.v Nowhere bettor than in Ireland can the roots and origins of these civilizations be studied; yet the monuments on which this study depends are daily perishing, neglected and unrecorded. Legends of Immigration. There is nowhere in the world a land of a community racially homogeneous; and Ireland conforms to this universal rule. That more than one race is represented among her people is obvious to anyone, who with open eyes travels through her towns and countrysides; and the fact is freely recognized and acknowledged by the ancient native traditions. These tra ditions preserve for us legends of immigrations of tribes, each in turn setting out from some vague eastern land zigzagging over the map of Europe, and finally establishing itself 1n Ireland and remaining till disposed by succeeding invaders. Such legends no doubt, belong to the dreamland or folklore; they have been worked into their present quasi-historical form by ihe literary students of the early Christian period, upon a framework of artificial chronology based on Biblical Indications. Nevertheless,- they preserve the germ of arreal fact, and they are meant to explain an actual phenomenon the stratification of racial type, which was so evident as to attract attention even before the days of scientific ethnology. In the Iron Age. We may further indicate some conclusions to which the archaeological evidence seems to point, as to the time at which these Scandinavian immigrants entered the country. The cultural development proceeds in an unbroken evolution throughout the Stone and Bronze ages. In. England there appears an immigrant round headed tribe at the beginning of the Bronze age; it was probably this people who introduced the bronze culture into England. But they do not penetrate to Ireland, which country appears to have acquired its bronze hand there is in Ireland a breach of continuity of evolution at the beginning of the Iron age. Especially noteworthy is the introduction at this time of the practice of constructing lake dwellings on artificial islands. This presents a real analosv with the phenomena con sequent upon the Norman Conquest.' When the Norman barons parceled among themselves the ancient , tribe lands and reduced their former occupants to vassalage, they were obliged to protect themselves with strong dwellings built in the middle of lakes' Teutonic Blood an Celtic Tongue. The probability, therefore, is that it was the Scandinavian immigrants who introduced the Iron age culture into the country, somewhere about the third century B. C. Most likely it was the same people who, Teutonic though they may have been in blood, introduced the Celtic language. There is reason to believe that the pre-Celtic language (whatever it may have been) survived in the country till well after the introduction of Christianity; also, that before the conversion of the country the aboriginal tribes differed in religion as well as in racial character from their overlords. These distinctions would, of course, help to keep the separate races from intermingling. Anglo-Norman Invasion. But this carefully constructed society, with its two well-defined stratas so strongly reminding us of-the ancient Spartan castes, the Perioeci or the Helots on the one hand and the Laconianfi on the other was destroy ed by : the Anglo-Norman ' Invasion.' Fair-haired Mediterranean plebeian

RETURNS TO U. S. ) . .....

Irish Early History were soon lumped together as "mere Irish," and their common misfortunes broke down the barriers between them. There are some Interesting phenom ena in the mediaeval and early modern native literature which are to be explained as the result of this unification. As the fair-haired folk were doubtless numerically in the minority, it is the aboriginal stock which predominated in the consequent mixture, and which is the predominant element in the modern population. . The Mediterranean analogies of this predominant element give rise to all the familiar unscientific talk about Spanish colonists on the west coast of Ireland. The analogies are not confined to the external racial characteristics, there are temperamntal links as well." Till further and more systematic scientific work has been done, both in ethnographic surveys and in archaeological research, we cannot hope to translate these probabilities into certainties. A thorough archaeloglcal survey is the first desideratum. In 1908 theree royal commissions were appointed to conduct archaelogical surveys In England, Scotland and Wales, and the thirteen magnificent volumes that' appeared, down ta the "time when their work was interrupted by the war, are an earnest of the admirable thoroughness with which these surveys will be carried out... The prayer of the two chief archaeological s6 eties of Ireland, that a similar commission should be appointed to carry out the same work in the sister country was met with a curt refusal. "Book of the Dun Cow" Th,ese native legends form a complicated study into which enter many elements other than ethnological. The essential point for oui present pur pose is that just noted: their testimony to the existence of a variety of racial type. Further and yet more important evidence bearing on the 'fame matter is to be found elsewhere in ancient Irish literature. The present writer, Bome time ago. went through two of the largest and oldest of the ancient manuscript miscellanies that have come down to us in the country: the so-called "Book of the Dun Cow," and the "Book of Leinstcr fboth of the twelfth century), but containing much older material, and he collected all the personal descriptions there contained. The result of this study established a rule that every pereon who was kingly, noble, heroic, or otherwise endowed with desirable qualities, was described as tall and of fair complexion; every person who was despicable, socially or morally, was described as hort and dark. Further, the fair-haired persons wore their hair long and flowing, the dark-haired were close cropped. Mediterranean and Nordic Races. There is only one possible explanation of this fact. The literature was an aristocratic product, and was for the benefit of the fair-haired aristocracy. There was a servile dark papulation despised by their over lords. Clearly the distinction could not be maintained without barriers against Intermarriage. We see quite plainly an aboriginal dark population reduced to subjection by a light-haired population of later immigrants. A sufficient number of excavations has not yet been carried ouut under scientific auspices to enable us to say much about the evidence of ancient craniology. But so far as our present knowledge permits us to say anything. tne ancient Irish were prohaDiy long and narrow headed to an even more marked .degree than are the modern inhabitants of the country. Shortheadness seems to have , increased since the Anglo-Norman conquest, and pnjjpably is - a direct result of that event. .Both the tall fair r.nd thex short dark population of ancient times were long beaded. . This being so, we may assign the ancient people to the Mediterranean raco of ethnologists, and their fair haired conquerors to the Scandinavian or- Nordic race. This result is, naturally, nothing more than a tentative working hypothesis, which seems to fit the facts so far as they have been collected up to the present.

Just at the time when Italians seemed likely to agree to the acceptance of a solution to the Fiume question which had been ' approved by Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau, a division has been created among the Jugo-Slavs regarding the problems involved. According to the best inforamtion obtainable the Slevenese element of the new Slav kingdom is stoutly opposed to a compromise by which Italy would give up some of the territory apportioned her on the Dalmatian coast in exchange for full soverignty over Fiume, with a strip of land connecting that city with the province of Istria to the west. It is impossible to ascertain here whether President Wilson has been consulted regarding the proposed Fiume settlement which appears to be in absolute contradiction to tho president's firm stand. Neither has absolutely satisfactory assurance been given that Italy as a whole will approve the compromise. Mahan and Detzer Put Blame on Each Other (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Jan. 16.
