Gallant Turkish Pirates Loot
French Ship Wreathed
In Smiles.

MARSEILLES, July 16.-No pirate
OF the Spanish Main had any more
right to call himself a "jolly sea
rover" than the band OF carefree
Turkish raiders who went through
the passengers OF the French steamer
Sourah off Batum recently just like
an old-time train robber in the West.
The story OF the hold-up has just
been told here by Captain Mattel. OF
the Sourah. which has just reached
port on the return trip.
Gallantry was one of tho conspicu-
Gus traits of the band. They bent
low over the hands OF the women pas
sengers before proceeding to despoil
them OF their rings. They begged
pardon before breaking open trunk
which they imagined contained valu-
ables. They were polite to the com
mandcr and crew and said "Au revoir,
bon voyage" in the pleasantest tone
imaginable when they left with their
booty. II Captain Mattel had read a
certain volume OF sea stories by an
American author he would have said
that the chief OF the band was the
pleasantest pirate who ever cut a
throat or scuttled ship"
Here is part Of the captains story:
about 900 passengers. of whom large
part were French. The twenty-five
bandits who finally held us up came
aboard with tickets and passports in
order. They were quiet and affable,
although ! remember later that they
professed to be Bolsheviki. We were
on our way to Trebizond when about
8 O'Clock in the evening the bandits
who had taken up strategic positions
all over the ship covered me and my
officers with revolvers and announced
that they owned the vessel.
"They proceeded to demolish the
wireless installation, and while a
dozen of them kept watch over us the
cabins. They Inspected everything.
They broke into trunks. The pirates
were very gallant, especially toward
the French women passengers. ! saw

cmptied it. and handed it back with
thanks. Others kissed the women's 3
hands and then tactfully drew Jew
eled rings from the fingers they had
just embraced.
"The loot amounted to about
1000, 900 francs. One Frenchman lost
10000 francs and a Persian passen-
ger was relieved OF 100000. At I
o'clock in the morning the chief Of
the band ordered Captain Mattel to

mile off shore the band COM

If you're a lawyer, and must live
in Washington, don't specialize in di-
vorce.
Or, II you're a lawyer, and must
specialize in divorce, don't live in

Presented herewith are the views
OF Miss Pauline Floyd, twenty-five.
and acclaimed the youngest woman
attorney in the country. And Miss
Floyd, feeling as she does about
things and feeling that she comes
under the head of those ''whO must
specialize in divorce" is preparing
to pack her brief case and move onto
the climes where divorces grow more
freely.
RENO FOR HERS.
Its Reno for mine" said Miss
Floyd, who, despite the dignity of her
legal mantle. does not hesitate to
stoop to the use of good old American
slang il she finds she best can eX-
press her ideas in that way.
It's harder for a rich man, or
poor man. or any other kind of man

1t is for a camel to go through the

counsel refused to fight n woman"
FAvORs FREE DIVORCE.
Miss Floyd, young though she is.
has her own ideas about divorce. "Of
course IL may be-" she says, that the
wish is father to the thought. But ]
believe divorce should be as free as
marriage. GER il possible. | do not
believe with some that a divorce
coupon should be attached to every
marriage license; but l do believe
there would be many more happy
married people if divorce were much
easier to secure.
"Incompatibility should be grounds
for divorce in any city. ] believe it
is more of a crime for persons who
are married to live together when
they can't get along. than IT is for
persons who are not married to live
together in harmony. OF course, that
may sound radical, and it isn't a
theory that could be put into practice.
But, nevertheless, it's my own idea.

ny WILLIAM l.. mALLABAR-
International News Service.

LONDON, July ia call for peace
in the threatened international "oil
war" was sounded today by Francis
Il. Powell. chairman OF the Anglo
American OIL Company. Powelfs
views are considered especially sig
nincant In view OF the recent state
ment OF the Daily Express that Brit
ish oil interests are planning TO in
wade America and night the Standard
Oil Company on it's own doorstep.
Asked how the difficulties In Mexico
might affect the big supplies of
American oil which are being deliv.
cred here, Powell said:
America can draw from Mexico
large quantities OF low grade ola
product OF great need at the present
moment. We have no ofncial or
authentic information on which to go
at present. but we are sure that our
Interests, which, of course. are those
OF America-wiil be safeguarded,
whatever happens in Mexico.
URGES CONSERVATION.
NT have no fear whatever about
America being able to supply increas-
ing quantities OF high grade oils.
There must still be a certain amount
OF conservation, because only in that
direction will production be able to
overtake consumption. II those in
terested in the use OF fuel oil would
only give their attention to that mat.
ter. ! am sure they will see the oil
production OF the world quite equal TO
the commercial demands made upon II.
During the war America supplied
95 per cent of the gasoline used by
this country and her allies. In render
ing this great service to the allied
l4
finers, and shippers drew heavily upon
their reserves. This is the primary
cause of the shortage today. for II
was the custom of the renners and
producers to carry reserve stocks
amounting to millions OF barrels.
WARNS ENGLAND.
1--WE have heard that the British
govern nent has given control of oil
production in the mandated territory
to a single company. In view of the
fact that the British empire produces
less than per cent Of the oil pro-
duction Of the world and less than 20
per cent OF it's own consumption. no
matter what Is done in these man.
dated territories, it would take from
five to ten years to produce sufficient
to satisfy Britain's requirements.
"It would seem to be wisdom for
Great Britain not to antagonize too
greatly or to irritate too much those
sources which have served her so well
in the past.
"Those inundated territories did not
come to this country by its own
strength alone. but through the COM
bined efforts of our Allies. Let this
empire place such restrictions around
the production of oil as may seem ex-
pedient, yet they should treat those
who are entitled to fair treatment In
such a way as to show them that
what has been done in the past Is
appreciated.
PLEADS FOR PEACE.
81 hope, and believe that we Will
see some action taken which will en-
able the United States and Great
Britain to go forward commercially
hand in hand for the prosperity OF
the two nations. This will result III
the feeling that where the British
flag flies Americans will feel at home
and that where the Stars and stripes
futter the English will be just as
heartily welcomed"
