LoNuoN. Sept. l5.- It Is now stated that tho

party OF British naval officers Oh Saturday
last picnicked on a deser, iset OF Cape Sigri
and that thoy re-embarked the same evening
on board their vessel and saledaway Sunday.
The Times takes skepical view of the

Tho Turkish Minister OF the Interior tee-
graphed 10 tho British Ambassador ht Con-

Sir William IN reply said that h0 was en-
tirely ignorant Of the whole affair. but. he
added, II was probable that the crews ol some
British warships may have landed on the
island Of Mitylene in the course OF the regular
boat drills and landing exercises. The British
ambassador assured the Turkish minister that
no fOrtihcatiOns had been constructed on the
island by British troops.
This view Of the case was confirmed by dis
patches received here during the night, which
stated tlat the IOfCe WilCu lNl heeu lAAdt

and that the men-ol-war had left the island

oivility BY Post.

OF course every woman ought to
keep herself supplied with the proper
materials for correspondence as hber-
ally as with matches or soap. Equal
ly important is it that these be kept
at hand. If to write note woman
must get her paper out of a box in an
upstairs bureau drawer. hunt for her
bottle Of ink in the rear of cupboard
out Of reach Of the children. and has
but one pen, rusty with disuse, she IS
apt TO think about it some time before
she can contrive enough leisure to
get her implements together, and by
that time to write a note does not
seem necessary after all.
Thus begin those small acts of inciv-
illty that grow to be great acts Of i'm
morality aud lad manners. Such a
woman will return from visit to a
friend without assuring her of her safe
return, and acknowledging the court
esv and pleasure she has received.
She will omit to thank for books
loaned and patterns borrowed. She
will break engagements without warn
ing and without regret. The Joys and
sorrows Of her friends will pass BY
without her giving any sigh. She
Will neglect to answer pertinent and
important inquiries At length the
time will come when she will keep
the stamps sent for her reply remorse-
lessly and without conscience
English women make far greater
use of the post than we do i'll this
country. Anything is an excuse for
the timely missive in which every
thing is dainty but the penmanship.

Liquor and Crime.

The Massachusetts bureau of labor
statistics have carefully analysed the
crimes committed in the county in
which Boston is located for one year.
The total number covered by the in
vestigation were 1887. or these
1929. or y per cent, were fol dis
tinctively rum offences. OF the other
4,608, 2.097, or As per cent, were
committed while under the influence
of liquor; 1913, or AZ per cent,
formed the intent while under the in
fluence of liquor. In 1904 cases, or
80 per cent, the conditions of the
crime were induced by the drinking
habits of the criminal, and in 1921
cases, or II per cent, by the drinking
habits of others 1918, or Al per
cent, were moderate drinkers; 1917.
or % per cent, were excessive drink
ers; 1853, or 25 per cent, were to-
tai abstainers. This shows total of
"a per cent, due directly to the infu-
ence of drink. 1t will be found that
the percentage elsewhere will not vary
much from this.
