OBITUARY

Eva Elizabeth Tucker, infan
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. M. Tuck
er, was born at Sheridan, Arkansas
February 10, 1916, and died January
l19, 1917, after a prolonged illness
with pneumonia. She was l 1 months
and six days old. The many friends
of the family extend sympathy in
their bereavement:
A face that we loved has vanished,
A voice that we loved is no more;
For a stranger, grim and silent,
Has entered our cottage door,
And stolen away our darling
That we treasured more than gold,
And our happiness all has vanished,
And the world is empty and cold.
Our lips always pause and tremble,
When we speak Of our loved one
gone,
A beautiful flower that has faded
Just In its early dawn.
We are left only precious memories,
That not even time can take
And the love that we have for our
darling
Will keep all these memories
awake.
Please help us dear Heavenly Father
With a truthful heart to say,
Not ours, but thy will, be ever done
At the close Of our saddest day.

SINKHOLE OF EAST
NOW MODEL CITY
Iron Hand Of the British Army Has
Cleaned Up Port Said-Was the
Wickedest City in World.

PORT SAID, Egypt, March H.
When the war broke out Port Said
held the reputation, as indeed il had
held from time immcmorial of being
the wiekcdest city from moral stand
point Of any place on the face of the
globe. Into this port the hotsam and
letsam Of the underworld driftcd from
all parts Of the universe. Here every
type of vice imaginable was represent
ed But today, after 30 months of mil
itary rule, the ''Sinkhole of the East =
~ well nigh a model city, the iron
hand Of the army having cleaned it mp
as no other power could have done.
Something of the transformation which
has been wrought was told to q cor.
respondent Of the Associated Press
who has been touring the East.
When the military first took hold Of
affairs in Port Said, gambling, drink
ing and vice of all kinds were ram
pant. Letters which were intercepted
10y the censor showed that traffic in
women was thriving.
Now most Of this has been stopped,
military law enabling the authorities
10 deal with situations over which the
'ANAi NhuilN NdQ no fOulThls nat
street Of international notoriety, Rue
Babel, so named because of the many
languages spoken by its inhabitants,
has ceased TO thrive as the 1eader in
the worlds iniquity. Many of its
vice leaders have been sent away from
the country, certain forms OF vice
which could not hc eliminated have
been restricted, and one can walk the
streets without being beset by the den.
liens Of the underworld. Even drink.
ing has been limited and il is impos-
siblc TO procure Intoxicating liquors
except between the hours of ! and >
in the afternoon and & and in the
evening.
The cleaning up has been largely in
the hands of Lieutenant Colonel p. &.
Elgood, acting under instructions from
the Commanderin.C Chief, General Sir
Archibald Murray.
Plugging is one of the most effective
puuishments used to meet the situation

in Port Said and it IS no nursery chas-
tisement that is meted out by the mil
itary authority What less vigorous
punishment would the average father,
mother brother or sister of the world
suggest, asks Colonel Elgood.
As a result Of the measures in
stituted crime has decreased 80 per
cent, and disease has dropped at least
40 per cent, according to the latest
figures available One of the most eff
feetive regulations put into force has
been that relating to drink. BY vir-
tually eliminating drunkenness great
stride was made toward the suppress
sion of crime and vice, much of which
was the direct result of intoxication.
There was time, early in the war
when the authorities hestitated to let
soldiers take their leave in Port Said,
as much trouble resulted. Now, how
ever, hundreds of Tommies are about
the city Oh holiday all the time and
are giving the officials no cause for
worry.
one of the striking changes is in the
lighting o. the city, which is now in
total darkness at night. The restric-
tions on lighting we've put into effect
because of the submarine menace, the
lights of the city having furnished q
beacon for the under water boats, but
the lack of lights has greatly assisted
in the suppression of vice as compare
lively Few people venture out into the
darkened streets.
Other cities in Egypt have been
cleaned up in the same manner as Port
Said-one of the good results of the
war so far as this country is con
cerned.
