A short talk between the Red Cross
chairman and the superintendent OF

mystery. What the warehouse man
thought was olive oil turned out to be
full-flavored Norwegian cod liver oil,
which had been shipped for the use Of

.CEMTURY-OLD CASE
UP FOR DECISION

Boston, Aug. 1.-The full bench of
the Massachusetts supreme court has
been called upon to determine the
ownership Of a fund nearly century
old which is claimed by the common
wealth of Massachusetts, on one hand
and the Chilean government on the
other.
In 1921 an American ship returning
from China to this port was seized by
Chilean revolutionists and Its careo
confiscated. When normal conditions
prevailed in Chile, the United States
demanded indemnity, and Chile paid
$70400.
William H. Gardiner, of Brookline,
was selected to distribute the money
among those entitled to 1t. He execut-
ed the trust except as to two Chinese
known only as Paqua and Moqua,
merchants-and Thomas Furber Of
this city. Mr.. Gardiner faned to To-
cate these persons or their represen-
tatives. When he died the trust was
transmitted to his SON ana Upon the
latter's death to the grandson and
great-grandson, Robert H. Gardiner
and Robert H. Gardiner, Jr, who are
now it's custodians.
The present holders of the fund
have searched through the records of
the state department, through the
American consular service at Canton,
China, and through various other
sources. for the heirs OF Paqua, Moqua
and Thomas Furber, without sue
cess.

In Rumania).-The allied diplomatic
colony In Rumania viii long remember
the arrival in Jassy last winter of a
large shipment OF hospital and medi-
cal supplies from the United States.
The shipment was long delayed on the
way, and when 1t arrived one of the
allied ministers insisted on celebrat-
ing It's arrival by a dinner. as elabor-
ate as dinners could be under existing
conditions.
After the arrangements for the din
ner had all been carefully worked out
by the minister who was acting as
host. it was found that there was not
an ounce of olive oil to be obtained in
Jassy. At the urgent solicitation OF
the minister, the chairman OF the
American Red Cross mission agreed
to remedy this deficiency. According
ly written order was given authoriz-
ing the minister to withdraw one quart
bottle OF olive oil from the supplies
which had just arrived from New
York
The minister sent his orderly to the
Red Cross warehouse with the requisi-
ton. and the courteous superintendent
of the warehouse handed the orderly
a quart bottle and took a receipt in
the customary form.

EVER RECURl|N c
.sALUTING PROBLEM
IN BRITISH NAVY

London. Aug. 1.-The ever-recurring
salutins problem has been brought to
the British navy in rather perpIexing
form by the growing activity OF the
Woman's Royal Naval Service. Senior
officers in the service desired to be
saiuted by those Of lower rank, male
or female; the majority of the girl
"privates" want to salute someone.
but who. when and how have not been
definitely find even in official orders.
In fact most OF the confusion is at
tributed to recent official orders. It
reads that "Officers and women Of the
w. r. n. s., commonly called wrens),
will not salute their superior officers
(male or fema1e). When addressed by
their superior officers they are, how
ever, to stand at attention and suit
able respect Is always to be paid such
superior officers on all occasions"
"A very great deal depends on that
word suitable" said a Wren private
when she first read the order. Before
the war she had been accustomed to
every luxury but she takes her work
very seriously and considers her COM
mand q unit rather than several in
dividuals. "The question naturally
arises as to what might be considered
suitable respect toward an officer
who might have been unanimously
voted catty by the girls she continu-
ed. There Is too much opportunity
for display Of individualism."
But the paragraph affecting the men
is causing more confusion. It reads:
Officers and men Of other Royal
Naval Service will salute officers of
the w. r. N. S. who, by their badges
of rank, are their seniors. when they
meet or pass them, In Similar man
ner to officers of the Royal Navy. Of
ficers of the w. r. N. S. WIN acknowI-
edge such salutes by bowling"
Sailors have been heard TO ask why
they should salute a Wren officer
when the Wren privates are not re-
duired to do the same. Then long
standing order in the British navy re-
quires sailor to salute anyone "hav-
ing the general appearance OF an Of
ficer," promulgated that an officer
might command respect even though
he happened to be in civilian dress.
A commentator on the situation re-
marks that taking into consideration
the old and the new orders and grant
ing generous allowances for honest
mistakes, a Wren and a sailor may
salute each other in about any man
ner that the occasion might appeal to
them TO require.
"The waacs,s as the members of the
women's Army Auxiliary corps are
called, are said to salute their officers
in camps and offices. and in France
the practice Is carried out among them
in public as well. The girls do not
use the full arm sweep as IN the army.

They never salute officers OF the army
or navy, 1t appears, nor do the women
officers receive salutes from service

Third Voluntary Defensive
Withdrawal Is on Half
Mile Front

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The Germans to-
day made a third defensive withdrawal
from a sector where there was no i'm
mediate Allied pressure. Following
their voluntary retirements northeast
and southeast of Amiens, they fell
back from their front lines on half
mile front north of La Bassee Canal,
on the south wing of the Lys Valley
salient
The British pushed forward, occupy
ing the enemys old positions and con-

After their excavations of the west
bank of the Ancre, south of Albert, the
Germans destroyed the bridges over
the river, holding only their crossing
at Albert, which they have succeeded
in defending.
The enemy also destroyed his bridges
on the Avre, northwest of Montdidier,
after his retirement there. Reuters
spondent at French headquarters
telegraphed his afternoon:
"On the Avre River, in the Mont
didier section, the French have occu-
pied the whole of the line of wooded
hills overlooking the steep river valley
from Breaches to MesnilSt. Georges. 1t
is reported that there is fighting in
Hargicourt, on the LETT bank of the
river, where the Germans hold the rail
road station. The enemy is still in
Morisel."
Observers believe that the enemy's
voluntary retirements in the West in
dicate a decision to fall back on the
defensive and to give up all intention
of launching another drive at this time
in these sectors.
