INTERESTING
 BIT OF HISTORY

London, Aug. 2-Lord Northc1iffe recently revealed an interesting bit of war history concerning the evacuation of GalIipoH. The hero of the story was Keith Murdoch, an Australian journalist, who is returning home to become editor of the Melbourne Her aid, and the occasion of the telling Of it was a luncheon given to MT. Mur- doch by the Times.
 "It is an open secret" said Lord Northc1iffe in proposing MT. Mur- doch's health, "that it was due to his initiative that the Australians and the rest were removed from GalhpoH. Coming to Europe for the first time he went to GaIlipoH peninsula and for the first time the truth was re- vea1ed.
 "He brought a dispatch, a very ter ribIe dispatch which I believe was in tended to be sent to Australia He showed that dispatch to me and l suggested that the time to be spent in carrying that ghastly record to the Antipodes could be better used for the purpose of immediate action
 sI asked him to take it to Lloyd George and one of the finest pieces Of work the Prime Minister did in the war was to circulate the document to the whole cabinet, which then con sisted of 20 persons. As a, result of Keith Murdoch's dipsatch immediate action was taken and that horrible story was concluded"

ROTARY CLUBS
 TO GETFLAGS

York, Eng, Aug. 2-Presentations of si1ken American flags to British Rotary Clubs, a token of Anglo Saxon friendship are of growing fre- quency throughout England and the custom is spreading into Scotland and Wales, according to newspaper accounts.
 One of the most recent gifts of this kind, t'an earnest of the friendship and fellowship America bears to Great Britain,'' was presented to the York Rotary Club by Luther Stark of Orange, Tex, Vice President of the International Association of Rotary Clubs. The Lord Mayor of York, Al derman E. Walker, in accepting the Stars and Stripes On behalf of the York Club, expressed "the apprecia- tion and pleasure" of the recipients and said it was such a tie as should help to bind still closer the English speaking peoples of the world.
 Another American flag was recently unfurled at Rotherham, at the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club, by In- ternational Vice President William Coppoch, of Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Bishop of Sheffield, who is an honorary Rotary member said he was certain the movement would have a beneficial effect on a large number of men and women. He said he ap- proved the effort to secure the whole hearted alliance and friendship of all branches of the Anglo Saxon race. "A real lasting friendship with Amer ica" he declared, 'Eis desired in this country.'

WHITE PLAGUE SERUM BROUGHT
 FOR USE HERE

London, Aug. 1-An offer of s2,- 00O,000 for the right to dispense in the United States the famous Spah- finger serum for tuberculosis has tion, it is learned by Universal Ser vice.
 Dr. Spahlinger, the brilliant young Swiss bacterrio1ogist who was in London last week to attend the In ternationa1 Tuberculosis Conference, told friends about the offer.
 It is understood the offer was made by the Rockefeller Institute, and that Dr. Spahlinger will accept.
 Other Nations Use It.
 The offer follows the adoption of the Spahlinger serum by the govern ments of Portugal, Brazil, Spain and Belgium, each of whom paid Spah- finger such large sum that he is already a wealthy man.
 It is understood the Rockefeller Institute will dispatch specialists to Spahhnger's laboratory at Geneva to acquire the secret of the compost tion of the serum and vaccine, only a, small supply of which is available
 The Swiss bacteriologist first eXper1- mented with his cure in England in treated. One of Dr. Spah1inger's s friends informs Universal Service that with the exception of two cases in which the patients failed to follow the regimen laid down, and two oth- CTS which ended fatally due to other ma1adies, all the patients survived the scourge. They were all in all advanced sage of consumption.
 Accepted for War Duty.
 Several of those first patients were even accepted for military service in the war and lost their lives fighting in the trenches.
 The British Ministry of Health is still Investigating the merits of the serum. The British consul at Ge- neva has made report highly favor- able to the remedy to Lord Curzon, mentioning tributes by Professor Maurice Lemulle, the greatest tuber- culosis expert in France and lead ing specialists of Switzerland.

The trip from Point Barrow to North Cape, distance of 2,400 nautical miles, will be regarded as the trans Arctic flight
 Total Flight, 5000 Miles.
 As the distance from Ketchikan, Alaska, to Point Barrow is about 2,000 nautical miles, and from North Cape to London approximately 1,50O miIes-with at least 100 miles spent in observation flying around the Pole, provided the plans succeed-the total distance covered by the flight from Ketchikan to London would be 5000 miles. g
 MT. Naulty said he had been con- vinced by years of study of data of ocean, ice and wind currents that land exists, in the form of an archi- pelago, isolated mountain peaks or a low range of "tailing out'' hills, in the region lying between 120 west and l35 east and 75 north and the pole, and that the plans for the projected polar flight are practicable. It has been his plan to undertake the flight next Spring, he explained, but it has been moved up to late September on account of reports indicating un- usually favorable arctic conditions this year.

To Attempt Flight
 Across North Pole

airpIane flight over the North Pole from Alaska to Norway, to be at tempted in September, were an nounced last night by Edwin Fairfax Naulty of New York, a physicis who has long been interested in polar ex- ploration and aviation.
 MT. NauIty stated that the plans call for the use of only one airp1ane and and expeditionary party of four, which would include himself and three experienced pilots, all eX-service iiers. They expect to cross the Arctic zone in twenty-four hours actual fly ing tine-
 His son, Leslie Fairfax Naulty who will be associated with him in the en- terprise, is going to Europe to take care of plans for continuation of the flight from North Cape, via the Scandinavian capitals, to London.
 The start of the important part of the flight from a scientific standpoint the trans-Polar and transatlantic dight-is to be made from Point Bar row, Alaska, MT. Nau1ty announced, and the route to the Pole will be, as far as flight conditions permit, along the Meridian of 155-weSt to the North Pole. The distance from Point Bar row to the Pole is 1,200 nautical miles, and it is the plan that the first stop shall be made half way between these two points.
 SSNohu sup tuc 1oIc
 The second stop is planned to be made at the North Pole, or as near to that point as there is a landing, for full observations to determine posi- ton. Then, after overhaul and re- stowage, the route will run to Spitz- bergen, where the third landing is planned to be made west of Andree Point, from which the ill-fated Andree some years ago started on his pro- jected balloon voyage to the North Pole.
 From Spitzbergen the fourth pro- jected leg calls for a flight across Spitzbergen, with a possible landing at Bear Island if conditions warrant, and thence to North Cape,-Norway. MT. Nau1ty said that only one plane would be used for the flight. At first it was his plan to head a squadron of | three ships, but difficulties of carrying on if one or more of the planes came to grief and the consequent necessity weight to the carried weight of the crew, stores, gas and oil of the sur | viving plane, determined the decision | to make it a one-plane flight. 1 The complete route of the Polar | flight will be, according to MT. Naul- tvs announcement, from Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska; Ketchikan to | Anchorage; Anchorage to Nome; Nome to Point Barrow, and thence across the Polar regions to North Cape, Norway, and thence by taxi l flights via Christiania and Stockholm to London. The Arctic flight proper, be explained, would start from Point l Barrow. The journey from that point over the Pole to Spitzbergen, a dis tance of 1,S00 nautical miles, will be
 regarded as the trans-Polar f1igh

The wen-fed American sailors took compassion on them and threw bread sugar and other food to them This led to fierce scrarnb1es, the poor starving wretches falling over one another in the struggle for a piece of bread or sugar.
 The BolSheviki heard about the film and sent agents aboard to claim it; but the American Captain de- clared that his ship was under the protection of the Stars and Stripes and threatened to shoot any Bolshev- ist who tried to issue orders on board.
 So the film was saved. The Bof- siheviki even offered in the end to buy 1t, but the offer was not ac- cepted.

Sofia, Aug. "A new police regu- lation just issued makes policemen arbiters of women's fashions. The punishment for indecent appearance is a fine in proportion with the ''crime''-ie, the dimension of the un- covering of the neck and the short ness of the skirt.
 But it is chiefly the moral penalty that frightenS the smart beauties to be escorted to the police station.
 Since this regulation was put in force the police of Sofia has thus punished about 20 women.
