Against Traffic BY Forming
ANTI" Societies.

PEKING, May 23.-The Chinese
government, although faced with
many other difficult internal prob
lens, is pressing with a strong hand
for the complete removal of the opium
curse from China. Large quantities
of opium seized by the Chinese Gus
toms and local authorities continue to
be burnt by order of the government.
on January % last more than 3.273
pounds of opium, with value OF
1892, 100, were destroyed at Shanghai
in the presence OF Chinese and for
eign officials.
President Hsu Shih-Chang has re-
Gently issued several mandates enc
joining the provincial authorities to
spare no efforts in preventing the
recrudescence of poppy cultivation
and the revival of the opium habit.
The cabinet has followed these man
dates with full instructions to the
provisional authorities relating to
their strict enforcement.
One general difficulty which China
has been facing in her task OF opium
SUPPRESSION has been the want of the
whole-hearted cooperation on the
part of the foreign authorities in her
neighboring territories. Al Macao

who was as a signatory to The
Hague convention in 1912, the Portu-

medical -sciencer
Physicians at the Cook, County
hospital here have hopes that it

a preparation they have used in
treating two cases of the disease
now in the hospital.
The two lepers now undergo
ing treatment are a negress and
a young Serbian. The former
has been under medical care for
two months, and to all appear
ances is rapidly recovering from
the disease. The latter was so
affected by the disease when he
was admitted to the hospital last
November that he was unable to
walk, but now. except for slight
stiffness in both feet, seems to be

Harry. The country has been more
or less upset bySrevolutions for the
past ten years. First, President
Diaz was overthrown after ruling
over Mexico for many years. ropu-
lar at one time. Diaz came to be re-
garded by many Of the Mexican peo-
pie as q dictator and oppressor. The
Diaz government was overthrowh
in a revolution and Madero became
President. Then Gen. Huerta over
threw the Madero government, and

for almost four years, President
Carranza has been at the head of
the Mexican government. Villa, as
you know, has for several years
past been an enemy of Carranza, but
Gen. Obregon has served in Presi-
dent Carranza's cabinet. and until
recently was regarded as one of
Carranza's staunchest supporters.
Trouble Started Over Election

But when the Mexicans began
getting ready for the presidential
election, which was scheduled to be
held very shortly. Gen. Obregon an
nounced himself as a candidate for
President to succeed Carranza. Gen,
