DISORDER IN CRETE.

Murders and Other Acts of Lawlcss-
ness Are Frequent.
ATHENS, October 5.-Dispatches received
from the Island of Crete say the situation
of affairs there is very unsettled. Many
murders have recently been committed, and
robbery and other acts of lawlessncss are
of frequent occurrence. AS a result, the
governor of Crete has offered to resign his
position, and the matter is now understood
to be under consideration.
The Cretans have been deeply impressed
with the Armenian troubles at CONSTANT
nople. The latter, naturally, have been
greatly magnified, and the Inhabitants Of
the island have presented a long memoran-
dunn to the representatives of the powers
against the Turkish administration of
Crete.

MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS
The Star Will Give, ons Of Its Fair Readers
IPurse.
The Cleverest " oman In WaahiRgtOn
is to Be- Presented With
$50 ~
$500 In Gold.

Folks are beginning to plan about Christ
mas already. Each year there must be
about so much thehey laid by for fund
for buying presents, and this means
good deal of scheming and manenvering in
advance. Some way to earn a few extra
dollars is welcomed heartily by the women,
who have SO few opportunities to swell
their pin-money account. The Star pro-
poses to help them out by making one OF
the most generous offers ever made by an
American newspaper. 1t will give 500 in
gold to the cleverest woman in Washing
ton.
How? That Is an easy question to an
swer. The cleverest woman in Washington
ought to be able to. guess the conclusion Of
a romance without any difficulty. She will
be given a good chance. Beginning next
Monday. the tale will be published. and for
about a month it will run through the
columns of The Star, but 1t will break on
abruptly just as the concluding chapter Is
reached. The story. entitled When the
War Was Over" written by Frederick R.
Burton. is so ingeniously planned that the
cntire climax is contained in rh.s conclud-
ing chapter. OF course, the ending IS pro-
portionate and logical with the preceding
portions, and all that is necessary is to

fore. Do not fail to read every issue of
The Star containing the installinents OF
this enhancing romance, which Will be
well worth perusaL even If the reader
does not desire to enter the contest. OF Is
barred from it by reason of some ungoV-
ernable circumstance.
1. The Evening Star will Fay $500 In gold
to the reader from whom it receives by mail,

nue. and 18th street, the complete and abso-
lutely correct solution of when the war

final chapter of the story to be published
Friday. November Is. in The Evening Star.
If two or more complete and absolutely cor
rect solutions are received the $500 in gold

allotted to the twerty-niEe readers whose
explanation shall come nearest to the true
solution of the mystery according to their
percentage of merit, and the money will be
divided follows:

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona fide one.
1t Is easily possible for a news =
paper with an elastic Conscience to
swell Its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adver-
Users. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstalds, which are re-
turnable. and which are in. fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however,
Judge by results. and bogus circula-
lions don't give them.
The circulation of The Star Is
many thousands In excess of any

feature unusual in connection with
this service was the fact that it was

church, the memorial sermons hav-

ministers. Archbishop Ryan is one
Of the most gifted men in this coun.

this country. He was formerly
Mayor Of New York city and upon
different occasions his name has

"Do you regard the political stu
