ADRIANOPLE: A WEATHER
VANE OF EMPIRES

Entry Of Greek troops into Adriano-
pie Is an event in secular history fairly
comparable to the investture of
Jerusalem by Allenby's army, for this
Turkish city has for nearly 1000 years
been a weathervane of world poll
tics.
The rebuilding Of the ancient 1hra-
clan town of Eadrian, who gave 1t
his name, signalized high point in
the power of the Roman empire. The
decline Of Rome was foreshadowed
some two centuries later when the
Goths defeated Valens there and made
their first break through the Roman
frontier.
Next Adrianope was the setting for
the Turks advent into Europe. There
Murad l. established himself, planned
the capture of C0nstantinople, and
sent out expeditions to subdue various
Christian peoples. For a time the
European capital Of the sultans, Adri-
hhNplt was itlNIultu W nt lllt Nllitl
bulwark of COnstantinople. There
Turk first met Sav, and there the
Russians finally forced their way to
the Black sea by n treaty which also
loosened the Turkish hold on the
Caucasus and compelled recognition of
the independence of Greece.
Adrianople Is on the Maritza-
Hebrus of Grecian legend, where Or
pheus was dismembered by the Thra-
later name, in Bulgarian song and
story. II is 1877 miles by rail north
west of C0nstantinople.
To-day the city wears its past glory
with sort of shabby gentiity, with
no pretenson Of prosperity but less
squalor than the usual Turkish city.
1t possesses the grave of the first
Murad. or Amurath, who was assassi
mated in his tent after he had van
pushed an army Of Christian allies on
the field of K0ssOyo.
A mosque bearing the name of Sui
tan Baiezd recalls that monarch, |
whose first official act was to order the
execution Of his brother, who was first
Ottoman ruler, to call himself sultan
and whose cOnquests finally were
checked when he was taken prisoner
by Tamerlane.
But the architectural masterpiece of
Adrian0ple is the Selimleh. product
of Greek trlbute-boy's genius, and
relic of the reign of Selim IL, the Louis
XIV of Turkey.
Yearly the Turks would seize a GER
tain number of sons of their Christian
subjects. and in Sinan they found
they had acquired skilled bridge
builder. They allowed him to follow
his bent, and the Shahzadeh ut Con-
the Suleiman at STEAMBOAT
and the third famed mosque at Adri-
lnople were given to posterity. The
Selimleh stands upon the highest hill
in Adrianople and four lofty minarets
tower far above massive dome.

Violations Of Law i.icrc sse.


National prohibition has caused al
enormous increase in the number 0
criminal cases tried In the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, according
to statistics compiled by S. A. Ashe
Jr., deputy clerk Of the court.
There were 493 convictions in the
court during the fiscal year beginning
July / 1919, the effective date of the
wartime prohibition act, as compared
with a total of 726 for five preceding
years, The lightest number of con
victions in any one year previous to
last year was 1870, in the year ending
June 30, 1918.
An even larger difference is noted
in the amount Of fines imposed. Last
year Judge Henry G. Conner. who pre-.
sided over the court, levied fines ag.
gregating $9940 while for all of the
five years preceding last year he ex
acted on $7S,637 in fines from the
defendants in his court.
The influx of liquor cases has also
increased the percentage Of convlc.
tions.

SIX MONTHS MORE
MAY Be GIVEN TO
ASSESSMENT Jobs

kilograms have been received ~
Phoebe this week indicating that IL
may not be necessary to complete
the assessment work on mining
claims until July. 1921. According
to the Salt Lake papers the Utah
Chapter Of the American Mining
Congress has received advice from
representative James H. Mays, which
states that the House committe on
Mines and Mining by unanimous
vote had reported favorably on the
bill for the suspension Of assessment
work on mining claims for the year
1920.
A similar measure has been in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah, who has advis-
cd the Utah chapter taht he viii
make every effort to secure the
passage Of the bill thru the Senate
In time to protect the many claim
owners who will be unable to have
their assessment work done this
year @@s
For several years past. such q law
has been passed. because of the ex-
treme shortage of mining labor,
which made 1t almost impossible to
secure miners to do assessment work.
All the available labor was needed in

Extreme labor shortage in the
mining industry during the first
three quarters of this year has made
II impossible for many claim owners
In this state to secure miners to dc
assessment work, particularly dur.
ing the summer. spring and early
fall Az q result, many valuable
claims would be subject to reloca
tion by other people because tho
present owners were unable to hir,
the required work done to hold theil
property.
From the reports made by CLAIM
owners 1t is felt that the emergenc.
this year is as great as it was dur
ing the years that the law was effec

Petitions have been recently circu
lated in Phoebe combining the re
quest for such action but with al
additional proviso that the time b
extended to July 81, 1921, and fur
ther, that this date be the date G
