BLACK SEASCENE
Of BITTER STRIFE
Area of Disputation Between
Turks and Greeks, Fol-
lowing Sevres Treaty.

Because the Turkish nationalists,
rebelling at the treaty of Sevres,
| which stripped the old Ottoman EN-.
pire to the bone. and the Greeks wha
! profited heavily by the document, are
fighting it out in the near east, the
Black sea and it's gates are again
field Of world events" says a bulletin
issued by the National Geographic,
Society.
''The treaty, which practically end
ed Turkish power in Europe, made an
entirely new entity. known as the
Zone of the Straits, out Of the narrow
waters that separate Europe and Asia
Minor-the Dardanelles, the Sea of
Marmora and the Bosporus and
their shores. Over this was placed
an International commission. The door
which had so long been kept closed
by the Turks when they desired. to
the detriment of commerce. was to be
flung wide open to permit the passage
any nation. That this has already
been accomplished in a measure is
shown forcibly by recent dispatches
stating that Greek warships-barred
porous days of Byzantium-are again
sailing its waters and have shelled
towns held by the rebellious Turks.
ThOusands of Years in History.
For thousands Of years history and
tradition have been busy about this
chain of waters. from the mouth of
the Dardanelles at the tip of the
Gallipoli peninsula to the point. nearly
200 miles to the northeastward where
the narrower BoSporus sucks its
mighty stream from the Black sea
Tradition has it that Jason and his
fellow searchers for the golden fleece
passed through the straits, and later
hardy Greek seafarers and colonists.
and after them Romans and Genoese
built great cities on their shores and
established over their waters the
world-important trade routes of their
days.
The Dardanelles, or the Helles-
pont. as the Greeks called it. is the
longer of the two great salt water
rivers that separate Europe from Asia
Minor. 1t winds it's way from the
Aegean sea with two sharp turns and
numerous gentler curves for forty
miles before it expands into the Sea
of Marmora. the Grecian propontis.
The strait varies in width from a
little over three -fourths of mile to
five miles. On the European side
rises the steep ridge of Gallipoli,

and New Zealanders perished while
seeking to seize the Dardanelles. On

at least on paper. The whole OF the
rocky southern shore was allotted by
the peace conference to Turkey. But
it is not only the countries which
have a Black sea frontage that are
interested in that sea and its outlets
to the south. The broad. navigable
Danube. carrying the commerce of
inland Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hun

 TONY'S ABUSES
Mexican Idyl Disturbed by Vio- lence, According to Divorce Suit; Two Sewing Machines and Music Box Possessions

One musical instrument and two sewing machines constitute the com munity property of Jane and. Tony Gomez, whose marital troubles reach ed the superior court in the form of a divorce complaint yesterday. The musical instrument apparently was for the willing away of Antonio's spare hours, while the two sewing machines supplied the field for the labors of Mrs. Gomez.
 But the ideal and Mexican state of affairs did not and could not last. Mrs. Gomez grew tired of those sew ing machines, and when Tony offer ed her a bit of physical violence in addition to his previous outrages and aggravating remarks, she up and left.
 The couple married at Williams July 6, 1917; they have no children. Mrs. Gomez is the plaintiff in the action.

They have been the guests of the state at the Pioneers Home for the past two years, Mrs. Whitney coming there after stroke of paralysis two years ago, which brought about her death yesterday.

 You can all understand that, can't you?" asked one of the Rotarians.
 Mccarthy and Commissioner John Wagner of Jerome were guests al the luncheon, which was devoted chiefly to a program of non and Rotary-sense by Russ Jones, the days chairman.
 Tom Bate discussed the proposed county and city advertising folders with a good deal of emotion, having been convinced that if little dab oi publicity is good, a smear of it must be better. He argued for multiplied ton of the order for booklets and Harry Heap said why.
 Fred May contributed a common sense essay on Rotary principles and Nose Hazeltine led the members in a couple of rousing songs.

SEDONA ROAD WILL BE 4 SCENIC ROUTE

The Cottonwood -Sedona road, when completed, will be among the attract i've scenic highways of the county, in the belief of the highway commission, which spent several days last week in an inspection of work on the new road. The last six miles of the high way especially, from Dry Creek to Sedona, is particularly attractice, pass ing through mountainous country abounding in cliffs and mesas. Large cedars add to the scenic beauty of the district, which includes Coffeepot and Flatiron mountains. Over the line in Coconino county the road climbs a large mesa, from which magnificent view of the surrounding country is ottainable.
 The commission and Engineer Mo Carthy are putting forth every effort to counteract first mistakes m con struction of the road. Mccarthy will put in most of his time with the con tractors, eliminating railroad grades, checking up survey lines, and making ether necessary corrections. The road will have to be widened in places, made to conform to natural contours of the country Work of installing drains and concrete dips will begin soon.

With coyotes more numerous this year than for several years past in the Copper Basin and Kirkland dis tricts, and with stockmen losing sheep and goats, a drive being con ducted by John Fredericks of the state biological survey, is rapidly killing these predatory animals, ac- cording to reports brought to Pres colt yesterday by H. B. Wales, Pres colt forest supervisor. Fredericks, who is an assistant to R. E. Mus grave of the predatory animal ex- termination department of the sur vey, reports that over 100 baits were taken by coyotes in one night.
 The traps set for the animals are baited with hog-fat treated with a special tasteless poison compounded by government chemists in Washing ton, in which strychnine and cyanide are used.
 Sheepmen starting to drive their bands south from the Coconino ranges to the desert will be relieved to learn of the survey work, since the main sheep trail across the forest passes through the district infested with coyotes.

.BOb HECKLE IS

(From saturday,s pailyl

Bob Heckle, of Canon, Ariz., goes the French one better" says the last issue of "Menthology," house organ of the Metholatum company, in a sketch of the Canon pioneer scout whose interesting "reminiscences of Arizona life will be recalled by Journal Miner readers. The sketch, accompanying a poem by Bob Heckle on the virtues of menthola- tuIn, continues: He advocates wild burro meat in place of horse meat and has lived on it for years. Says it is much better favored than beef.
 "'Texas Bob,' as he is known all over Arizona, is one of the last of the old Indian scouts. He served under General Crook during the Apache troubles, when Geronimo was making things interesting for Arizona settlers. Heck1e is now "A years old, but wonderfully active. On July 4th last, at Prescott Frontier days, i'll open contest, Heckle roped and tied calf ill 28 seconds. The winner of the contest tied in 20 seconds flat, but it is safe to say that not one of a hundred cowboys at Prescott will duplicate Texas Bob's performance at the age of "A.
 "Heckle was born at Houston, Texas, in 1874, and since childhood has followed the cattle business. He was an early day broncho buster, and has scratched broncs from Texas to Dodge City, Kans., in the days of Bat Masterson. Heckle knew Mas terson personally. From Dodge City Heckle drifted back into New Mex ico and then Arizona, where he now lives"
 Bob Heckle's verses, accompanied by a portrait-sketch of the author, are as follows:
 The Cowboys Friend I've been cowboy all my life,
 And suffered all the ills That come to one in outdoor life
 On deserts or on hills.
 Sometimes my rope would burn my hands,
 The sun would peel my nose; My eyes would ache from glaring sands
 And multiply my woes. 1 Sometimes a cold would lay me out
 At times my lips would crack; Sometimes catarrh would choke my Snout
 And pains my head would rack. But now those ills have gone ana
 passed,
 'Tis joy to ride and rope; I've found cure for them at last:
 Mentholatum is the dope!

 In connection with the medal pres entation, campaign will be begun later to raise funds in each state of from $60OO to $10,000 to provide for the construction in the devastated departments of France, the equivalent of two of Americas finest high schools, to be known as the Wash ington-Lafayette and the Foch-Persh- ing schools.
 A drive completed recently in the New York city public schools, for re- building some of the 6O00 public schools destroyed in the devastated areas during the war, resulted in the raising of $71,000 The pupils were not allowed to solicit in this drive.
 The gold-medal to be provided by the school childrcn's fund will be presented to Foch upon his arrival in this country. at which time repli- cas will be presented to President
