At Varennes they still show the place

For the greater part of week he had
been busy there at the humble tasks Of

an anxious French soldier who explained
that Varennes had been his home before
the war and that he had had to leave it
hastily when the Germans came four years
before.
After that much explanation he began
to prospect about as though he were look
ing for oil, finally took his bearings. paced

BOOZE TRAFFIC
 UNDER CONTROL
 0F C0YERNI NIMENT

LONDON By Mail) Britain must choose between strict govern ment control of the liquor traffic or absolute prohibition, in the opinion of Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the
 touor control board
 If the question is considered roadIy there are only two policies, control or prohibition" said Lord D'Abelnon "Reversion to the old prewlr conditions would mean drunk enness, inehi%ency, i'll health, disease and the misery which has notoriously resulted from drunken habits in the past
 "I believe that control is possible. The experience of the war shows that temperance and efficiency can be obtained by regulation. I be- Iieve the Iiuor trade is susceptible to reform Recent declarations by Ieadere in the trade, appear to me to warrant the belief that the new school in the brewing trade is gain ing a hearing, and that they have realized that the old methods of the anti-reform whole-hog indulgence aQ- yocates are uo longer suitable to modern conditions. l get many let ters from them urging that there be no return to the old hours, during which their work lasted r hours instead of six daily and when the conditions for public house servants were a scandal.
 There can be no doubt that the position of licensees is enormously better than before the war. They work shorter hours, they have not the same difficulty with drunkenness and they certainly do not make less money

FACTIONS MAKE
 DEFINITE MOVE
 TO END STRIFE

SHANGHAI, (By MaiD A def nite move 10 bring about peace be tween the northern and southern factions in China was made this month when the Picking government appointed Wang Yitang, a former minister of finance, to head a north ern peace delegation to take up again with the southern representa- tiyes the negotiations that were broken off last spring. At that time he north rejected eight de- mands made by the south ana so brot to an end the Shanghai peace conference.
 The eight demands of the Canton government comprised the following:
 Ab~ogate all secret treaties with Japan.
 Punish the officials who negotiated the secret Japanee treaties.
 Dismiss military and civil govern ors of provinces who had violated certain laws.
 Disband the northern defense army.
 Resctnd the mandate of 1917 by which the old parliament the body that removed to Canton and there set up the southern government was declared to be dismissed
 Recognize President IIsu Schih- chang only as provisional president
 What if any, notifications the Canton government has expressed a willingness to make in its demands have not been clearly defined
 Late in August it was learned that private negotiations to withdraw troops had been in progress between military leaders of the north and south who apparently sought to hold peace conference of their own at Ranking. Since the Picking govern ment has appointed a new peace delegate, the opinion has been ad- vanced that this military conference ma! not De ueIu.
 The great masses of people in China have scant concern with the strife which has been disrupting the country.
 Whatever division might have eX- isted between the masses of people in the north and the south, was swept away by the announcement from Paris that the city of Tsingtao and the rights formerly held by .ne Germans in the province of Shan tung had been awarded to the Jap anese The whole country, north and south, saw that no action to avert the consequence of the Shan tung decision could be taken with China divided against itself and this waye of popular sentiment grew into an huporant factor for the restora- ton of internal peace.
 A Picking dispatch of September 29 stated that the southern delegates aad refused to meet Wang Yitang and that attempts to resume the conference between northern and southern delegations were likely to prove abortive A resumption of of hostiIities was therefore feared.

HOLD AYIATORS FOR PASSPORTS

NEW YORK; Changed conditions in the commerce of Europe prot about by the development of commercial aviation is strikingly shown by the sudden need of new passport regula- tions for which the users of aerial transportation are now clamoring.
 If business man can leave London and reach Paris, Brussels or Amster- dam within few hours after the need for the journey arises and can get hacl. home on the same or next day, it is certain that many business people would habitually pay such sudden and short visits in prefernce to relying on correspondence. Such a course is, however, impossible at present, as it is necessary to have the passports vised-a matter which now takes about two days at each end.
 It is clear that with the develop mcnt of foreign trade from the United States to other countries by means of ailplanes and airships, some simpli- fled passport system will have to be instituted. One method which the national foreign trade council learns is favored abroad would be to issue some identification certificate to pas sengers, similar to an automobile drivers license, permitting unlimited trips for a given period to any country with whom the necessary arrange ments had been made.

Klein Team Is Winner in
Game With Yeagertown

Lewistown, Pa, Sept. 4.-The
Klein Chocolate team of Elizabeth
town shut out the strong Yeagertowr
team in a twilight game last evcn-
ing by n score of 100, the visitors
holding their opponents to no-nlt
game until the ninth inning when
they gave them two hits and
chance to score. 1t was plain case
of stage fright from the first in
ming, the players admitting as they
returned to the bench in regular
order that Ritter had nothing up
his sleeve but an "in" and even that
wasn't bad. Albright pitched a WIN
ming game, keeping the hits scatter
ed, two being the limit in any one
inning, but his support was bad
throughout the entire game. Mau-
ager Breckenridge pulled his usual
stunt of getting the opponents
pitcher to toss him the ball for en-
animation without the umpire call
ing time, which permitted one run
to score in the third inning. Score

4-More than 1000 persons were exc

evacuated Yetaterinoslav in Southern
Russia, according to a dispatch re-

cres as described by a physician who
was physicical expert at the open
ing of the pits into which the bodies
of these victims had been thrown after
their execution. This physician, Dr.
Robin, declares the victims heads had
been crushed with hammers and their
bodies badly mutilated. Many of
them, he says, were found with broken
legs and ribs caused by blows with
sledge hammers. specimens of which
were found in the vicinity.

The Bolshevik organ .zations in the
city had been headed by a workman
named Valiavka and various Chinese,

them were in the hands of young men
and women. Wholesale pillaging is
