WOMAN is MISSING.

Columbus, Miss, Feb. 10.-Police in
Columbus and other cities along the
line of the Southern Railway have
been asked to look for Mrs. NJ. B.
Tanner. of Tuscaloosa, who mysteri-
ously disappeared from a Southern
Railway passenger train somewhere
between Maben, Miss, and Columbus,
last Saturday.
Mrs. Tanner had been visiting the
family of her brother-in-law, Mr.. John
Quinn in Maben, and left that place
Saturday for Columbus, her intention
being to spend the night in Columbus,
and go to Tuscaloosa the following
day. When she failed to arrive in the
Druid City Sunday her husband tele-
graphed Mr.. Quinn to ascertain tha
cause of her non-appearance, and
when that gentleman received the tel
egram he became uneasy and left on
the first train for Columbus for the
purpose Of making efforts to locate his
sister. Efforts in this direction, how.
ever have proven futile, as he could
find no one who can remember having
seen her leave the train.
Mrs Tanner is said to be an unusl,-
ally handsome brunette, about 80
years old, and in addition to wearing
several handsome diamonds had a
large sum of money in her purse when
she left Maben.

Italy Strikes at Turkey

1taly's declaration OF war against
Turkey cannot fail to aid the cause
of the allies. 1t will add to both
the land and the naval forces operat-
ing against the Dardanelles, and may
furnish the determining factor in
that long continued struggle. More
over, the entrance of Italy upon this
field of action is calculated to in
crease the chances of further Balkan
intervention against the Teutonic al
lies. Unless there is a secret under
standing between Germany and Bull
garia which precludes the participa-
ton of the latter on the side of the
quadruple entente powers, there is
apparently reason to expect that both
Bulgaria and Rumania will soon enter
the field. on the basis of an agree
ment whereby Bulgaria receives from
Serbia certain lands that were grant
ed to Bulgaria after the first Balkan
war and wrested from her after the
second. Bulgaria and Rumania are
both concentrating troops, the for
mer massing large numbers on the
Turkish border, ostensibly for the
purpose of driving home an attack
upon Turkey from the rear, so to
speak. The intimation is conveyed
that this may not be the purpose of
Evening star., 1915-08-23

this mobilization, however, but that
under a secret agreement with Ger
many Bulgaria will send her troops
into Turkey for defensive warfare
against Italy should that power
strike. This is hardly probable. in
view of the negotiations between Bull
garia, Serbia, Italy, Rumania and the
entente powers recently, which have
had for an object the arrangement
of territorial division satisfactory
to the smaller states, for the purpose
of effecting a joint Intervention
against Germany, Austria and Tur-
key. The position of Greece at this
time is apparently satisfactory to the
allies, Nenizelos having returned to
power with no indication of less
ening of his determination to bring
Greece into line as an ally OF the
anti-Teutonic powers. If all these
factors cooperate with England,
France and Russia the effect is like
ly to be the early fall OF Turkey, with
forces then available for a southern
attack upon Austria, calculated to
cause an immediate lessening of the
heavy pressure now being put upon

thousand votes. One OF the infu-
ences assisting in securing this result
| was a letter written by President
Wilson reaffirming his views on the
drink evil He does not consider the
| question political. and regrets its ap-
pearance in politics. But the inter-
probation put upon the letter in the
campaign was that it voiced SEN
timent against prohibition, state wide
Or nationwide.
Notwithstanding the Presidents
letter, and the reaffirmation by Mr..
Watterson that mo democrat can be
a prohibitionist," sixty thousand
democrats voted at the primary for
statewide prohibition, and would as
willingly have voted for nationwide
prohibition. And the problem now
is to have those democrats accept
the primary result and support the
ticket then nominated. If even a
third of them should bolt or sulk
the democratic ticket would be in
danger. The republicans are united
and well led: and while they have de-
clared in their platform in favor of
the county unit policy, no man OF in
fluence among them ha. declared that
no republican can be a prohibitionist.
So that there is no bitterness between
the republicans and the prohibition
democrats on the drink question
such as exists between the two fac
tions Of the democracy.
In few weeks the campaign will
open Will Mr. Bryan assist? Will
he be invited to assist? Heretofore
he has been a trump card in Ken
tucky campaigns. The democratic
managers have put special trains at
his service, surrounded him with
agreeable company, and presented
him to large crowds in every part of
the state. 1t would be very interest
ing to see this eminent democrat who
is prohibitionist touring the reser-
vation Of the big chief who holds
that watered democracy is not a
genuine brand.

Cotton as Contraband.

England's announcement that cot
war is not surprising, for it has been
foreshadowed for some time. In
deed, it would not have been surpris-
ing had the allied powers, at the out
set of the war, placed cotton on the
contraband list, notwithstanding the
fact that during the Russo-Japanese
war Great Britain protested vigor-
ously against Russia's declaration OF
cotton as contraband. Cotton is a
large factor in the modern manu-
facture of certain explosives, through
chemical process. Although sub
stitutes for raw cotton have been
found in Germany to replace the
fiber, it is nevertheless greatly need
ed now in that country for the sup
ply of the powder for great guns.
During the American civil war cot
ton was regarded as contraband in
the sense that it was considered as
the equivalent to money. Extraordi-
nary efforts were made by the. fed
eral government to prevent its ship
ment abroad, where it served as the
basis of an exchange for the Con-
federacy. 1t was thus in a different
category from that in which it falls
today, as raw factor in the making
of ammunition.
The question of the right OF bel
llgerent power to declare as contra
band an article not recognized gen.
orally as contraband in time of war
involves some far-reaching considera-
tions. Great Britain and France, the
latter power acting jointly with the
former, now hold that since the out
break of the war cotton has become
OF greater Importance than at the be-
ginning as munitions material.
They will doubtless argue, when
challenged, as they probably will be
by this government, that cotton un-
der modern conditions fails natural
ly into the classification of condi-
tional contraband, and that the con-
dltlons which constitute its character
as absolute contraband have devel-
oped. On this point the United
States will perhaps cite in opposition
to the present action the British pro-
test to Russia in zoos.
Evening star., 1915-08-23
Sunday Entertainments.

The police regulation as it has
stood for some years regarding Sum
day entertainments has plainly been
allowed to lapse into disregard, and
shows have been given on that day
which have transgressed its terms,
without check or hindrance from the
authorities. Whether it is good pub
lie policy to restrict Sunday enter
tainments to the comparatively mar
row limits prescribed by the regula-
ton, the fact stands that the rule
has been violated in the giving OF
shows in costume that have differed
slightly if at all from those given on
other days in the same places. If it
is to be the policy of the District
government to permit such entertain
ments on Sunday the regulation
should be revised. If not, it should
be enforced strictly. A rule that is
allowed to become innocuous is
constant source of danger. 1t per-
mits impositions and determinations
1t encourages dishonesty on the part
OF those. who are supposed to enforce
the laws. 1t proclaims a standard
that is not maintained. The question
in its broadest aspect should be con-
sidered by the Commissioners, fol-
lowing the present police inquiry into
the character of the entertainments
that are given on Sunday at certain
places of public amusement.
