London Changed, but English
Haze Liquor and Always viii,
Says Noted american Writer

And Things did seem, al first, to have
changed quite a bit. Six years be-
fore the porters at the grim termI

thing to earn a bob Now for two
shillings (normally nifty cents) l got
slack service, gruffness and-no
thanks.

bright and cheerful room, which cost
me less for a whole week than for
one night at any good New York
hotel. And l had civility and kind
illness thrown in.

that night. and in the morning they
were brought me-polished. For
thirty cents or so got some break

gracious way, but served with de-
cency in my own room by a trim
Belgian maid.

bus which. for the modest sum OF
"twopence" - Ccnts), conveyed me
swiftly from my headquarters, near
Baker street. to CharinE Cross, 4
distance of two miles or so.
The bars may still be found here.
Put they are open only now and
then. From l. to , one can get all
the drink on, wants. From to 10,
again good liquor flows. And. after
that, there comes very weary
pause, when London is almost com
pletely dry. This change has killed
tie night life of the town and made
those after-theatcr suppers sorry
srams.
And over here there seems no
need OF secret spies to enforce the
liquor laws. Not all the strikes and
appeals of half-baked BOlshcvists,
have really shaken the deep rooted
love of order in the British soul.
The liquor laws have vexed and
angercd millions. So have the rises
in the railroad fares. the rationing
OF sugar. the high cost of rent and
clothing. But. as whole. the
British public has not fought in
violent ways against the law.
There is a point, however. at
which every British heart will draw
the line. Try as they will. the Pro-
hibitionists will fail here. The
profteers have not yet been man
handled But If Lloyd George
should dare TO stop the beer and
! wine and other drinks the RritOns
lovc-well. he might have rather
nasty time. There are some things
which Britons will not stand.

SLAVE TRAFFIC
HITS GERMANY

UNITED Press Statf CorrespondentD

Berlin. Aug. 2S.-The white
Slave" traffic in Germany is assum-
ing startling proportions.
Organized bands are procuring
girls, many of them under age, to
sell them into bordels of Serbia and
Macedonia. of France and South
America. Only recently the Berlin
police unearthed the fact that one
group Of white slavers was pursu-
ing systematic course of leading
astray school girls who should then
be sent to foreign countries.
Police records of the larger Ger
man cities show that between Oc-
tober /, 1919. and May l. 1920. there
disappeared completely 800 young
girls and women. most of whom, it
is suspected. were sold by slavers.
The white slave" traffic has in
creased with the Improvement Of
transportation facilities. 1t is now
easier than some months ago to
procure passports. Hence. the
slavers find that they can get their
victims out Of the country with less
difficulty than heretofore.

So he did. and then he went upstairs

want to take his best one this time.
Nurse Jane came in from the back

lollypops, and the muskrat lady
said: :

Wiggily two pieces of pie as well
as one. 1t looks as if he'd been in
here, helping himself to a slice"
she went on, but no matter" So
she slipped her second piece of pie
into the lunch basket, making three
in all. Then Mrs. Bushytail, the
squirrel lady, called Nurse Jane to
the telephone to ask about putting
hooks and eyes in a bed spread to
stop it from falling out of the crib.
And while Nurse Jane was talking
on the telephone Uncle Wiggily
came in the kitchen again.

Trieste, Aug. 2S.-One OF the most
difficult problems facing the Rome
today is not Bolshevism
nor even Fiume-it is the task of
"Italianizing" the Austrian penin-
sula with its splendid port Trieste
on the West and Fiume on the East.
And If the status of Fiume should
be settled as the government no
doubt wants it, Rome would have
even more trouble with the penin-
sula.
1t remains to be seen IL the Ital-
ians possess the old Roman heritage
which enabled them quickly TO as
simulate hostile peoples into the en-
pire.
Trieste and Fiume are Italian.
This is noticeably true, even to an
utter stranger But back in the
country beyond both cities are
hordes of Hungarians, Slavs. Slo-
venes and Croats who make little
or no attempt TO conceal hatred OF
Italy, first, because Trieste and the
peninsula have been Ceded to Rome;
second. because the Italians are oc-
Cupying Fiume, which had been
given to the Jugo Slavs.
The Italians have already lost
Avalona to the Albanians because
the Labor party will not permit the
army to cross the AdriatiC. and it
will have to strive hard against Un-
friendly forces in Dalmatia.
