WHITE STRIKE
 INNOVATION IN
 LABOR DISPUTES

Rome, July 1.-The recent white
 strike" of the state employees of Italy
 produced another series of innova-
 tions in labor disputes. The workers
 kept their positions and nominafly did not cease to work but all ''Sol-
 diered on the job'' to such an extent
 that in many cases total abstentlon
 from work would not have wrought greater damage.
 The strike besides involving the or dinary employees in the state admin istration included the post office forces, which in Italy comprises both the telephone and telegraph. The employees would present themselves
 for work in the morning and "sol- dier' along with their work, getting practically nothing done until II o'clock, when all would leave the va rious ministries and offices for a labor meeting.
 The whole of the states administra- ton would then be at a standstsa ees several hours, while in some cases it extended for the whole day Be- sides the mass meetings, there would be local meetings held in the various departments, all at the expense of the time of the government
 l The -gre~.test public inconvenience
 was caused by the attitude of the postal employees. including the tele- graph and telephone staffs: Dismissal was threatened those who attended | the daily labor meeting but that
 threat only partially succeeded in re- storing discipline. Telephone service | was practically at a Standstl1. Per sons would attempt to get the centrals for hours and would finally give it up in despair. Occasionally, central operator would answer but there never was a guarantee that the con nection wanted would be given.
 The letter-carriers. also participant ed in the white strike" The street | Ietter-boxes became filled too full for another letter. They were only emp
 tied when it satisfied the whims of the | man assigned for the work. The ser
 vice was completely disorganized.
 Premier Giolitti gave orders that all adhering to the white strike must be punished. Accordingly over
 100 were discharged in Rome, 4oo Tn
 Milan. 40 in Naples and large num- | bers elsewhere

FREE RUM IN
 SOUTH SEAS

San Francisco, July 11-Some new wrinkles in government have been introduced in the Gilbert Islands, one of the far south groups in the Pacific.
 And-according to members of the crew of the trading schooner Lottie Bonnet, which has just arrived at this port from Tarawa, principal port of the Gilbert IsIands-the new laws, rigidly enforced by native police, seem to be working well, even the Blue laws and temperance measures.
 Here are. some of the laws, accord ing to tie Lottie Bennet'S crew:
 Each native shall have five acres for producing cocoanuts as his per sonal right. Should he have a wife he shall own seven acres and, for each child an additional acre.
 On each day except Sunday each male shall receive one goblet of rum paid for out of the public treasury.
 Four shillings is the daily wage on the plantations
 There shall be no work or fishing on the Sabbath, neither are the women permitted to do the family washing.
 Crews of visiting craft are not per mitted to purchase liquor and, instead of receiving free cocoanuts, shall pay the natives one shilling apiece.
 Those who reach the age of sixty years must retire. All the other in habitantS are taxed in cocoanuts for their upkeep.

IDENTIFY JUNGLE JOE'
 CANYONS DOUBLE BY
 MISSING STOGIE-

Kansas eCity, Mo, July Il - The spotlight was turned" upon John T. Heard, Congressman, recently in one of Kansas City's leading hotel lob bies. MT. Heard is a human dupli- cation of Uncle Joe'' Cannon, former Speaker of the House. MT. Heard has been gazed upon, pointed out, talked about, trailed and interviewed hundreds of times, simply because someone had been nistalzing him for sUncle Joe.'' His facial features have the same contour as MT. Cam non's. He also wears the stubby rounded beard.
 The girl at the cigar counter was not as easily fooled as several of the guests were.
 That can't be Uncle Joe Cannon, for he ain't bought a cigar all morn ing" she declared positively.
 Commenting further upon the re- senbIance between himself and Mr. Cannon, MT. Heard said: 1T fre-i quentIy have met MT. Cannon in Wa shington and we are very good friends. I am sure that neither of us is offended at the similarity of our makeup. Any argument over Who S Who can be settled at the cigar coun- ter: for I never smoke"
 Travelling out of Washington a few weeks ago MT Heard said that the train conductor greeted him as teMr. Cannon and repeated the salutation as he was leaving the train at Chica- 20.

LAPS UNABLE TO MASTER THE
 AIRPLANE

Washington, July 11.-Japan is re- ported to be building a navy that can give equal battle to the American fleets, if the time ever comes when these two nations enter into hostiE- ties.
 There is respect among the naval men of America. for the ships of the Japanese navy.
 Reports of development of aircraft in Japan is meagre, however, and there is a surprising lack of respect for the aerial defenses of Japan.
 Recent tests conducted by the Am erican navy, ia which aerial forces convinced naval experts that aircraft furnish valuable weapon for the naval warfare of the future.
 No official comment is forthcoming the War department as to the success of aviation in Japan, but it is known that the intelligence divisions of both departments have reports which in an offers no serious opposition to the United States as a. possible aerial en- emy. These reports show that Ja- pan, rapidly developing her air forces is building aircraft, but is failing to build a strong force of air fighters.
 The Japanese thus far have failed to indicate that they are a flying race, reports of casualties in the Jap dHSSe ttIIdu lOTceS SnO"1IS q Te1nar- kably high death rate. There have been but few Japanese aviators who have shown the interpid skill which makes for good air-fighting. The Japanese air forces are now largely manned by British and German fiji CTS and mechanics.
 l. Whether the Japanese will finally conquer the air is still a matter of conjecture. There are some aviation experts who believe that the people of the Orient are psycoIogically inca pablo of development as aviators | These experts say that only good horsemen make good aviators, and they declare that the Japanese are not horse-loving race. Again, it is pointed out that the Japanese are not mechanical, and in support ot this it is that said they have not yet | mastered the submarine and other l complicated weapons of war Still | there are those who have confidence l that the people of the Eastern coun- | try will conquer the air by their per. | severance. Others point to the fact | that they will always be able to se-
 cure foreigners who will man theil
 air fleets But, all in all, there is Q
 very evident lack of respect for Japar | as a potential aerial enemy.

OF
 STUDENTS IS
 NOW F0STERED

Los Angeles, Cal, July II - Ex- change of students between universi- ties in Mexico and the United States, a plan fostered by business and edu- cationa1 workers in both countries, is being encouraged and recommended by President Obregon as a means or bringing about a better understand- ing between the two nations, accord- ing to advices received here.
 In a communica from the Mex ican president to Nelson O. RhoadeS cf Los Angles, member of the com mittee having the plan in charge, it is said 150 offers from American uni versailles to Mexican scholars have been received. that many of the op- portunities already have been ac- cepted, and that the young Mexicans have been sent to this country to study.
 Recognizing the value of. complete reciprocity. however. and the ad- vantage of familiarizing the United States representatives with Mexico, the Mexican President has asked that 12 professors from American universities visit Mexico to study archaeology, Spanish. geology, Mexi- can history and other subjects. The visitors are to have their fare paid by the Mexican government and to receive the sum of 2,000 pesos annu- ally.
 .'The Mexican government" the letter adds, twill authorize these privileges in exchange for the schol- arships which the United States will give to our students. We will work in complete harmony with the com mittee that has been formed in surtherance of the exchange plan"
 The movement was set on foot by the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico. and has been placed be- fore the National Foreign trade con- vention and other commercial organ izations in the United States, besides the universities. The executive sec retary of the movement in Mexico is O. R. W Cook, formerly of Los An ge1es, a graduate of the University of Southern California

TO SAIL FOR SOUTH
 SEA IN 34 FOOT YAWL

Los Angeles, July Hilary Pid- geon, who, single<handed, sailed his little thirty-four foot yawl Islander from Los Angeles harbor to Honolulu and back last summer, is again con sIITned with the Pacific ocean wander lust and is reported to be outfrting for a. longer cruise. He will leave shortly for the South Sea lslands n IS heading for the MarquesaS some 2,ooO miles southwest of the 1ocal~port
 The mariner, who is fifty-six years old had his first taste of cruising on the Mississippi river in 1902, when he drifted down that stream in a flat-bottomed craft from Minneapolis to below New Orleans. On this boat he had no sails, just a. pair of big sweeps with which he. prevented the craft from being swept ashore by the current on the way downstream Later he went to Alaska, where he prospected for number of years, having his first taste of the ocean on board vessels running between Port land and Alaska
 He has read up'' on the Marquesa Islands and believes he will find them most interesting. If all goes we'll he may continue his voyage to other islands in the South Pacific.

SPREAD RIGHT
 INFORMATION ON
 UNITED STATES

Kyoto, Japan, July 11-So that exact information concerning the United States may be spread in Japan and professors of Japan may carry Japanese ideas to American Univer- sities a movement is now under way by which exchange of professors may be made between Doshisha UniVer- sity of Kyoto and some school in the United States.
 A group of Americans have as sociated themselves with several Japanese to secure an endowment fund of $100.00O for this purpose.
 Doshisha was founded by the help of the American Board of Foreign Missions through th4 efforts of Joseph Niijima, a Japanese who in 1884 fled from his country, taking his life in his hands, for at that time to be caught leaving the shores of Japan meant decapitation- When he return ed he was prepared to tell his people something of American Christian civilization.

HARD TO GET
 PROHIBITION

San Juan, P. R., July 11.-As long as there is an unlimited supply Of molasses in Porto Rico and as long as so many people know what to do with it to make alcohol, there will be a rum problem in Porto Rico, according to the Rev. D. Y. Donald son, retiring Prohibition Director who is returning to the states via, Pana- ma to take up his new work as state secretary of the Oklahoma Christian Missionary Society.
 stYou cannot have a vote for prohi- bition one day and expect to have everything bone dry the next,' said MT. Donaldson
 ~One of the factors in enforcing the prohibition laws in Porto Rico is the islands long coast line and the outlying wet islands. This, together in the island, make rum-making easy.
 There will continue to be viola uons of the law until the penalties approach the maximum. Small fines are looked upon as a cheap form of license.
 There are men who are going to continue drinking until their hides are completely pickIed. All of the police of New York City added to those of Porto Rico could not stop this.''
 In addition to a great deal of illi- cit distilling, MT. Donaldson said that he was convinced there was consid- Arable importation of contraband liquor and that this smuggling was to an extent an organized business. His office, he said, was familiar with some of the details of this organized traffic, and in his opinion, it was only a question, of time when this traffic would be made more difficult. He estimated that possibly 200 cases of brandy or other similar liquor were brought into the island each month.

FOUR GERMANS IN
 ITALIAN CABINET

Rome, July 1.-The new Italian Parliament will have some striking g characteristics. The provinces an neXed to Italy in consequence of the great war are sending four Germans and five Slavs to their new capital to sit in the Chamber of Deputies and among the Slavs there is a priest, the Rev. Virgiho Schelz, who has been elected for the Gorizia constituency.
 No priest has sat in the chamber since 1870, when the temporal power was lost to the Pope. It. was said that the Vatican has forbidden this Slav clerical member to press his candidature but the official announce is now published.

NORTHERN OIL
 FIELDS SWAMPED
 BY PR0SPECT0RS

Edmonton, Alta, July 1.-The rush to stake all claims in the Fort Norman, Northwest Territories, fields has begun in earnest and each day now sees the tide of fortune seekers sweeping northward from Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Peace River Cross ing and other points, The marchers also include scores of experienced mineral prospectors bound for the Sub-Arctic in quest of gold
 Every town, hamlet, trading post and river is squirming with activity of men striving desperately to be the first into the Arctic with the break ing of the ice in the Great Slave Lake. Not since the gold rush of 1897 to the Klondike and Alaskan gold fields has there been such an immense Emigration
 But the odyssey of the Yukon is be- ling rewritten in the present rush in stermS of modern transportation. The FoiI seekers making their way north travel in modern sleeping cars to the end of the northern railways and thence in comfortable river steamers and motor launches. One Canadian toil company is sending it's scouting parties into the territories in all metal Eairplanes.
 The moment the traveller leaves the Erfver highway however, he is face to face with the still unconquered north iPortages must be negotiated with
 
 transporting heavy oil machinery. They get a taste of the once fright fful "Edmonton trail' to Dawson city '-the grimnest joke of the gold-seek- ing northland, where men died by the scores or went raVing. mad, and where the survivors who finally struggled through arrived at the Alaskan gold fields one to two years late.
 But men have1 earned the perils tof the north since then and have taken advantage of the experience. Royal Canadian Mounted Police will not per init persons to leave the jumping ,off' places in the north this time un- less they are physically fit, properly tequipped for a years stay in the north country, and well supplied with funds.
 The two chief ports of entry into the north are Peace River about 300 miles northwest of Edmonton and Fort McMurray, almost an equal dis tance due north.
