Saloniki, April 30th-The revolt in
Albania against the Italian troops o.
occupation is spreading wider and
wider, according to advices to the
Greek newspaper Pellas. The Com
mander of the rebels is said to have
a force Of four thousand men.
Washington, April 30th-Oficial adj
vices reaching Washington through a
neutral source say that the Bolshevik
leaders Lenine and Trotsky were seek
ing a refuge outside of Russia fearing
q possible overthrow OF the Soviet Govt.
The significance OF these advices is that
the two Bolsheyik leaders realize that
the days OF BolsheVism are numbered
and are prepari the way for flight
when the time comes. 1t is known
that on other occasions they have tried
to make similar preparations but each
time some incident gave the Bolshe-
vik Government new impetus. SW6-
den, Denmark and Norway, according
to advices have refused to entertain
the suggestion that Lenine and IrOtSky
be given refuge there, and the latest re-
port said that the German Govt. had
advised them that their presence in that
country would be unWeIcome at the pres
ent time. Switzerland and Spain, it is
said, have sent equally definite r~efusals
to permit Lenine and Trotsky 10 find a
haven within their borders.

London, April 30th-In the course of
the budget speech delivered in the
House OF Commons today. the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer said he propos-
ed to carry out the decisions of the
Imperial War Cabinet and the Confer
ence on Imperial preference. The re-
auctions from this would be substan-
tial in amount with the rates few and
simple. Preference on commodities to
be consumed, except alchohol, would
be a sixth OF the duty, and on articles
like clocks, watches and musical instru-
ments, it would be one-third. This pre-
ference agreement he continued, will
particularly include tea, cocoa and rum.
A committee will be appointed to consi-
der the rates on food commodities, mo-
tionspicture films and a number of other
articles. Preference, Mr.. Chamberlain
continued, started from April 1st except
on tea which will come under the
operations of the rule on June End.
Preference affects only Imperial commo-
dities. The luxury tax, the Chancellor
declared, would be dropped. An in

London, April 30th-The exigencies
of business limited tonight's debate on
the budget in the House of Commons.
The Chief critic was Mr.. William Adam
son, the opposition leader, who char
acteriZed the budget as extremely dis
appointing and strongly criticized fresh
borrowing, reduction OF the excess profit
tax and the introduction OF Colonial . e.
ference which he regarded as the thin
edge of the protection wedge. it was exc
pected that the opposition liberals might
challenge division on the question of
colonial preference and when MIR. Cham
berlain appealed to the House to adopt
the resolutions necessary to put the new
proposals iii force, Sir Donald Maclean,
the liberal leader, declared that the liber-
ais were opposed root and branch to the
principles Of preference and did not de-
sire to prejudice their position in the
debate. Thereupon, Mr.. Chamberlain
gave assurance that there would be am
pie opportunity later on to challenge the
preference policy and the House adopted
the resolution without division.
London, April Both. The Coalition

sold to the Government and the quack
remedies he imposed upon credulous
and ignorant people he thinks they
ought to do something about it. The
evolution of the Rudd business from
Rudd's Specific to the Rudd Chemical
Company is amusingly described:
"The foundations of the Rudd for
tune, by this present date solid and
stalwart edifce, were laid as far back
as the decade of 1S4O-5O, by that fine
old family remedy Rudd's Specific.
-bellum shelves were crowded
with the tall, rectangular bottles it
came in, with label gummed up and
down each Of the wider surfaces, set
ting forth its virtues as a cure or pre-
ventive for so many human ills that
the list might almost have served for
a medical dictionary, beginning as it
did with Anthrax and Asthma,
Biliousness, Bleeding of the Nose,
Cancer, Consumption, Catarrh, Dys-
EMERY, Diabetes, and so on through
such occult troubles as Ricketts, and
Shingles to all Zymotic diseases,
with which it VIGOROUSLY wound up.
"Other times, other manners. The
Specific became the Pancurata in a
round bottle inside a cylinder Of cor
rugated pasteboard, lined with leaf
let of printed directions for its use,
wherein, it may be noted, not nearly
so many or such diverse and magical
qualities were ascribed to it. .
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-07-13

About the year 1878 the Specific or
Pancurata had ceased to be the main
output of the Rudd concern; drugs,
toilet water, soaps, salts, perfumes,
facial creams or the ingredients Of all
these things were what the firm now
purveyed to a vast and constantly in
creaSing clientele, both wholesale and
retail. And not long thereafter the
Specific followed its creator into what
may be called respected oblivion"
Young Steven Rudd might be called
the hero of the story, but if there
must be a heroine it is the admirable
Edith, his sister, who "can take care
of herself she proved in Ger
many. In the beginning we find Edith
efficiently conducting the rehearsal
for her own wedding, and the coolest
in the crowd.
To some of the older people there
was sort of effrontery in Edith's
composure. One matron whispered to
another: Nobody would ever guess
that she was the bride; the most mat
ter of course! But then girls know all
about everything nowadays-simply
everything! They don't think any
more Of getting married than of hav-
ing a shampoo and. manicure, actu-
ally!" But toward the end of the
story we find Edith forbidding her
sister to follow in her footsteps:
t'OD divorce is enough for us, said

L tiers field largely preempted by
some of our more romantic and popu-
lar story tellers. This gives her an
excellent opportunity to show her SUI
pcriority. If it is society weddings
and great country houses and big
business and orchids and breakfast
trays that are to be described. she can
do this with the best of them, but in
spirit Of sincere realism instead of
artificial and thrifty r6mancing.
Ohio is still "back home" in Mrs.
Watts's new story, but she has
brought her wealthy Rudd family on
to Maine to their luxurious summer
home, called Journeys End" with
its unrivalled collection Of orchids
and its wonderful gardens, open on
certain days to the public. "Jour-
ney's End" seems long way from
middle West Ohio, and Mrs. Watts
herself seems different in this story
not less serious in mood, but livelier
and more direct in her manner. From
Father to Son will increase the num-
Der of her readers and will strengthen
her candidacy for our most truly rep
resentative American story teller.
As a war story Mrs. Watts's novel
is long time in going off, and even
after a good deal of suffering there
is no great dramatic display. And yet
we were all ready for it, and expect
ing the war long before it arrived.
The opening chapters describe Edith
Rudd's marriage to the German
the blond, good looking, spick and
span young German officer, with his
close clipped head, his impervious
blue eyes, his chain mail of manners. "
He is in the diplomatic service in
Washington, another Won Papen or
Boyd, We are quick to assume. But
throughout the story he remains the
traditional bridegroom, in the back
gOund and unimportant.
II.
But here we are insisting upon
From Father to Son being a war
story, which primarily it is not. 1t is
not until page POS that the year 1914
is casually mentioned, and not until
page 240 that we read: "Into the
midst of this bright, careless summer
life dropped the news of the war. :"
So the story that begins with Edith S
big society wedding and the orchids
and reporters ends after all with a
war wedding Cher brother's) in strik-
ing contrast: Nothing to it at all !;
easiest thing in the world; you put on
your hat and go around the corner
and get married!' And as for the
orchids, the people who formerly came
TO Journey s End" to see them how
come to get coal-and the orchids
freeze.
Mrs. Watts's primary theme is that
of big business and business ideals,
which she represents as improving
from father to son; going up con
low perhaps, but still steadily chug-
cling up. Thus Lawson Rudd, head Of
the Rudd Chemical Company, is a
man Of fine business integrity COM
pared with his father, old David
Rudd, who laid the foundations of the
family fortune in fraud while young
Steven Rudd goes step further than
his father, and when he learns about
the bocus 0uinine his grandfather

Edith. And every one felt that the
fiat had gone FORTH"
Mrs. Watts gives Edith a "wash-
board neck" if you know what that
is, but she is an excellent American
type of clever, self-reliant, athletic,
modern young woman. Her mother
and her sister are the other kind: "It
was cardinal principle with both of
them never to be anything but softly
appealing, asquieseent and opinionless
in the company Of man, even a hus-
band, even father; agree to every
word he uttered-and go your own
way afterward, was their golden
rule"
As matter of fact, nobody in the
story is permitted to have the spot
light for long. There are many char
acters, all interesting, so that you can
hardly speak of any of them as
"minOr." We meet most of them at
the wedding, and it is in handling
such crowded scene as Edith s we'd
ding that Mrs. Watts is at her best.
Although not invited to the wedding,
even the black sheep of the Rudds,
Eugene, comes into the story Fat this
time; he could be described as an en-
gaging dipsomaniae, except that we
have it on as good authority as that Of
Mr.. Adam ]. Sackett, retired Million
aire whiskey dealer, that there are no
dipsomaniacs in the world, only damn
fools. w.
As pair Of elderly lovers, Sackett,
the whiskey dealer, and Mrs. Ballard
are more amusing than some of the
younger people. Have we said Of
Sackett, by the way, that he seems to
have had a bunch Of coming events
when he retired2 "He might be mis-
taken, but it looked to him like there
was rocks ahead for the liquor dealers.
Prohibition or these here Suffragists
would come along and knock the
props from under EN-" He buys a
palatial home on Madison avenue,
which Mrs. Ballard, interior decora-
tor, "does" for him, and does it thor
oughly, even to the silk bed covers
with little punches of roses on them,
Just as on hat. Mrs. Sackett has not
had her long experience in society
without knowing people. She knows,
b for example, that the chief joys of
collecting are "picking things up"
and making other people wall, as
Eugene Field said, to think you got
them cheap.
1t is agreeable to find Mrs. Watts,
unlike most Of the Americans who
have written war stories, not adopting
the pacifst convention which seems in
the way of becoming history, that
Americans generally had to be "edu-
Gated up" to the idea of our entrance
into the war, and patiently to be
shown the way. We read: eve elected
a President the fall of that year,
moved thereto, SO many people
thought, by the argument that He
Kept Us Out of War. Lawson Rudd
Of the Rudd Chemical Company voted
for the opposing candidate, maybe
from habit-being an Ohio man, a La
tive Republican-and maybe out Of
some unformulated conviction that to
have kept us out of war was not so
cIcditable proceeding after ALL"

| fol soIuc lliHe past tedfuS nave been busy hauling supplies for stocking the supply depots estab- lished by the Alaskan Engineering commission along the Nenana-Fair- banks right of way.
 The principal stores established so far are camp 432, formerly known as Goldstream cache; camp 440, formerly known as Standard creek, and camp 449, formerly i known as Lundborg's. This latter camp is situated about three miles ahead of steel from the Happy end of the line.
 The hauling is being done by twelve four-horse teams. All the available privately owned teams are being used, as well as a few of the A. E. c. teams in this serv- ice, and the freighting of supplies will be rushed to completion be- fore the breakup occurs.
 Buildings are also being erected at the camps mentioned for the housing of the engineering parties who will look after the work of building the railroad toward Fair banks from this end and toward Nenana from the Happy enL
 Nearly all of the budding ra- terial needed for the purpose has already been freighted over and contracts have been iet for the erection of the buildings, some of which are now nearly finished.
 One of the engineering parties has already taken up it's quarters at camp 44O. This party is under Resident Engineer Howard G. Has lem. They are now engaged in a little revision work, on the com pletion of which they will lay out the work to be done by the grad ing contractors and others just as soon as the weather allows of such work being undertaken.
 Seven carloads of railroad grad ing equipment and camping sup plies, r1ch as wagons, scrapers, dump cars, light rails, wheelbarows, switches, tools, tents, stoves, etc, arrived in town last night, and steps will be taken almost imme- diately to distribute these along the line where they will be most needed.
 All the necessary details in the arrangements for the commence ment of aggressive construction work on the Fairbanks line, are being worked out now, so that as early start as possible can be ihouS III lHc SpIlIS, dlIoT Wnlcn the work will be pushed vigorously to completion.
 Much, of course, depends upon the appropriation and the amount of it which will be allotted for work on this division of the government road.
 If the appropriation asked for by Secretary Lane goes through, it is confidently expected that a large portion of it will be allotted for the work in this district. As large a force as it is possible to work will then be put on, and it is quite possible that the road between Ne mana and Fairbanks will be com pleted this year. Nenanaites will then be able to eat their Thanks giving dinners with their Fairbanks friends and the two towns will be drawn closer together.
