ers and 100000 unskill6d workers, af-
ter which these plants will be manned
to capacity, according to a statement
made in the common yesterday by Min.
lister Of Munitions Lloyd George. The
whole success of this campaign of re-
cruiting depends upon the members Of
the various trades unions, said the min
lister. If they will allow the govern
ment to go ahead, without interpOsing
their union rules and endeavoring to
block the employment of non union la
Dor, complete success is in sight.
The minister made an earnest plea
to the union members of the nation to
of patriotism. He said that all the
successes of the. Germans have been
due to their mechanical preponderance
at the beginning of the war. This
superiority will be ended as soon as
possible, he declared, and added that
last May the Germans were making a
hundred times the number of high ex,
plosives that the Allies were able to
manufacture.
The output of the munition factories
has been vastly increased. There have
been no reports from the fronts OF
shortages of munitions since the Sep
tem1er drive, and there will be no more
such reports if the government be al
lowed free hand in carrying out it'
! plans. Since the first of June the out
put of machine guns and ammunition
for them has been increased fve.fold
while the output of grenades is today
forty times greater than it was 81,
months ago.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 21.--
Details of the seizure by the port au-
'thorities on Saturday of a shipment Of
opium on the T. X. X. steamer seiyo
Maru show that It was the largest sin.
gle seizure Of the forbidden, drug ever
made in the, United States. The cases
taken from the ship contained 1000
five.tael tins, the value of which
amounts in all to $45O,00O. 49,.
/ The opium was regularly shipped
from Hongkong TO eonsignee in Sa-
lima Cruz, Mexico, and was openly
manifested. The officials Of the Togo
Kisen Kaisha declare that the seizure
was Illegal and they intend to enter a
protest over IL with the treasury de-
.partment at Washington. ~
Shipments Of opium billed to Mexico
have been taken regularly through
American ports by the T. X. X. ships
and never heretofore interfered with,
say the officials, who show that the
customs authorities at Honolulu, Hilo
and San Pedro have always looked up
on manifested opium in transit to a
foreign port as outside American juris-
diction. ~

October 10. This was not seized by
Ncustoms officials ct San Francisco O.
Why it was not, II Il h the policy of

subject Of conjecture. The Anyo Maru

cisco, the others having called only at
Honolulu, Hilo and San Pedro. They
have carried opium each voyage.
Sections Of the law under which the
opium of the Seiyo might be seized are
given below. Apparently, great deal
would hinge upon the definition of
transportation, y used in Section s.
The Standard dictionary gives the
meaning Of transport as "to carry or
convey from one place to another. 4"
Does having opium In steamer that
calls at an American. port constitute
transportation under the law9
These sections are Of the revision OF
January IL, 1914, to the act of Febru
ary 0, 1909:
Section 5-That no smoking
opium or opium prepared for smok-
ing shall be, admitted into the
United States, or into any terri
tory under the control or jurisdic
tion thereof, for transportation to
another country, nor shall such
opium be transferred or transship-
ped from one vessel to another YES
sci within any waters of the
United States for immediate expor-
tation or any other purpose.
Before the passage Of this act direct
transshipping for Immediate expOrta

tions or derivatives thereof shall
be found upon any vessel arriv-
ing at any port Of the United
States which is not shown upon
the vessel : manifest. such yes
sci shall be liable for the penalty
and forfeiture =, 50.
II is believed here that the law
certainly will receive judicial in
| depreciation.
| Five-taal tins (six and two thirC
ounces) are the regular size They ar
considered to be worth $l20 here an
$40 in San Francisco, where NOR
opium is smuggied, and, accordingly
prices are less there.

 There is a tremendous difference be- tween the fees which lawyers receive today and those which the legal lights of a generation ago were paid.
 Daniel Webster is as good an Illus tration of this as any one, and Samuel J. Elder is authority for the statement that Webster's best year netted him only SIS,OOO.
 "I have seen Webster's books" Mir. Elder said, "and there was not year that he earned more than S1S,OOO, usu- ally much less"
 It has often been said that the great senator from Massachusetts did not average S1O,OOO Q year. and yet today a man with his attainments and emi- hence who did not earn half million dollars a year would have only himself to blame.
 Rufus ChOatc, a very great lawyer in his day, practiced more than Webster.
 His average receipts from lS40 to 1859. inclusive, were nearly $lSOOO yearly.
 The largest receipts in a single year during that period were O little more than S22OOO in 1856 and the smallest S11OOO. Ills largest single fee was S2.OOO, and he had four more of the same amount Once he had a retain ing fee of S1,5OO. Choate was proba, bly, the equal in eloquence and learn ing of any lawyer living today.
 Lincoln, a member of the Illinois bar, was another whose low charges have cnused comment. Prior to lS40 he re- celved two or three fees of $50 each. Trial fees were usually entered as S5' He sometimes took payment in trade.
 The largest fee he ever received was S5OOO from the Illinois Central rail. road. the richest corporation In his state. and he had to sue to collect that Today he would get S5OOOO or $lOO'OOo for the same work.
 Coming down to our present day, Il Is said that the late James B. Dill re ceived S1,OOO,OCO for his services in connection with the forming of the United States steel trust.
 William D. Guthrie received SSOOOOO for his work in breaking the will of Henry B. Plant
 John E. Parsons work In connection with the formation of the sugar trust Is said to have enriched him $35O,OOO
 Joseph IT. ChOnte received many enormous fees. He Is said to have been paid S2OO,OOO for his argument before the United States supreme court successfully attacking the con stitutionallty of the income tax. His work for the United Shoe Machinery company also netted him large fees.
 EouuoI ITntermyer has received ut least one fee of three-qunrtors of a million dollars with the consent of both parties and with the approval of the court. Another fee of Q quarter of a million dollars Is also credited to him.
 George W. Wickersham, Taft's attOr- ney general, received a fee of S2OO,OOO in 1909 as one of the attorneys who negotiated the Chicago Traction com pany settlement between the city and the companies
