INTERESTING BIT OF
WAR HISTORY RELATED

London, Aug. 2.-Lord Northcliffe
recently revealed an interesting bit Of
war history concerning the evacuation
of Gallipoli. The hero Of the story
vas Keith Murdoch, Australian journ-
alist, who is returning home to be-
come editor of the Melbourne Herald,
and the occasion of the telling of It
was a luncheon given to Mr.. Murdoch
by the Times.
1T is an open secret" said Lord
Northcliffe in proposing Mr.. Muir.
doch's health. that 1t was due to his
initiative that the Australians and
the rest We're removed from Gallipoli.
Coming to Europe for the first time
he went 10 Gallipoli peninsula and foi
the first time the truth was revealed.
He brought a dispatch, a very ter
rible dispatch which l believe was
intended to be sent TO Australia. He
showed that dispatch to me and I
suggested that the time which would
be spent in carrying that ghastly
record 10 the Antpodes could be bet
ter used for the purpose OF imme-
date action.
II asked him TO take It to Lloyd
George and one Of the finest pieces on
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 result,
OF Keith Murdoch's dispatch immediate
action was \aken and that horrible
story was concluded"

VACANT CHAIR TEMPTING

Edith Johnson, special writer on
the Oklahoman, is going to get food
for an editorial growing out of the
race for husbands in Germany. The
race is said to be between girls and
widows. with all the winnings being
made by the widows. In that coun-
try there are a few million women
left widows by the war, their homes
are intact, they have vacant chair
waiting for husband, and besides a
widow can always handle man just
little better than u woman without
experience. A home already built, a
fire already burning, is a mighty
temptation TO a fellow when times are
hard and wages low.

Footprints l3O
 Years Old Found
Believed To Have Been Those of Hawuiians Fleeing From Active Volcano.

Hlo. Island of Hawaii, T. H., April I9.-Footprints. 13O years old, Of an Hawaiian army that fled from the wrath of Pele, goddess of the active volcano of Kelauea, near here are believed to have been dis covered in the Kua desert, south of the great crater, by Professor T. ] A. dagger. Jr., in charge of the volcano observatory.
 Dr. Jagger and his party was ex- ploriug a region far removed from any of the known, modern trails when they came upon an area thick ! ly covered with the imprint of naked feet, all pointing in the same direc- ton. all deep at the toes and light at the heels. indicating that the makers of rhe tracks had been run ming at top speed.
 The tracks originally had been in volcanic ash, which is strongly i'm .preguated with sulphurOus acid and gypsum and which when wet by rain, settles into a hard concrete, thus eX- plaiuing the preservation of the im- prints for a period believed to have stretched over more than a century and a quarter.
 Hawaiian legend and history pro. vide the other side of the story, the connection between the Kau desert tracks and the flight of the army of Keoua, King of Kau, from Pele's wrath.
 Keoua led an army of three diyi- sious against King Kamehameha, who later united all the Hawaiian islands under his sway, in the year .I7gO. This year also recorded the last explosive eruption of Kilauea volcano. Hawaiian legend records the fact that some of Keoua's war rtors rolled stones into Kilauea crater to mark their disrespeCt for the goddess of the molten lake. Whatever the reason for the out burst, Pelc rose in her wrath, and, a terrific explosive eruption, totally wiped out the second division of KeOua's army.
 The footprints found in the Kau desert are believed to be those of men of the first division, who, sec ing the destruction of their com rades in the rear, fled from the locality The third division coming up. saw the bodies of the annihilat- cd second and halted.
 The area where the footprints were discovered is part of the new Kilauea national park, which will be dedicated this year, and steps al- ready have been taken to enclose the tracks and preserve them. i'll

LOGO Arrested in
 Anti-Drug Drive
Backbone of Narcotic Traffic In New York City Declared to Have Been Broken.

New York. April l1.-Claiming virtually to have broken the back bone of illicit drug trade in New York City. in q four months drive, Special Deputy Poice Commissioner Carleton Simon has declared war on an international ring which he charges is responsible for illegal dis tribution of dope throughout the United States.
 In the anti-narcottc drive here more than 1000 arrests have been made and millions of dollars worth of drugs seized.
 Although the illegal drug trade has been broken Dr. simon asserted the work of his bureau is not only 10 continue here but is to be en- larged to meet the problems in other big cities in America and agrOad
 By means of an international bureau of criminal records now be- ing established, all data concerning drug crooks is to be ready for cities where leads" pointing to New York might be uncovered, the commission CT said. Recently he added, Ant werp police had requested iutorma- ton concerninng an illegal leader of the international ring. IL was shown by means of information furnished by New York that the man had police records in London Paris. Brussels and New Orleans and had served prison sentences at var ious places aggregaJing 20 years.
 We made more arrests these past four months in any 24 months here tOfore," said Dr. Simon, who was selected to direct the drive becausee of his medical training. Every wing of the metropolitan police depart ment was coordinated, working in conjunction with the Federal agents, In consequence. the fear" has been spread through the army of vendors. Before he assumed his job. Dr, Simon said traffic in drugs in New York had reached all amazing stage His first move was to seek to clear up New York then aid in solving the drug vending problem in other citties-a resultant evil of the situa- tion here.
 Squads of special men were spread to parts of the greater city. expert men being picked to patrol the lower East Side where vendors were even using school children as "go-betweeus" to supply addicts.
 Constant watch was kept on in coming ships where alleged snug glers were resorting to all manners of tricks to sneak" the narcotic into this country. Arrests of per sons on the docks revealed drug hidden in artificial arms and limbs, in sausages and clothing. Once the anti-narcotic forces were working systematically and arrests became frequent, the situation soon gave evidence of being cleared up.
 The almost daily raids in the city reached a climax recently in Brook lyn when agents entered an apart ment. arrested several persons and seized drugs worth thousands of dol lars. The great majority arrested were "curbstone" vendors.

EDITORIAL
INELNE-HOUR DAY

Judge Cary. chairman Of the Unit cd States steel corporation. states that rac corporation committees re- port ou ,hc proposal for an eight hour day in The industry may be ex- prc-cd soon. perhaps within month. M-arwhue. he says. the 'seven-day Week and the long turn in chang ing shifts have been entirely elimi- hated by all ot our companies.
 !. Was as long ago as April. 1912. tuu, ,ae stockholders of the corpor- atlou accepted a report of a special committee which included these passages.
 Whether viewed from q physi
 cal. social or moral point of view. We believe the Seyen-day week is
 detrimental to those engaged in
 U....We are strongly of the opin-
 ion tha, no matter what alleged
 difficulties in operation may seem
 10 hinder the abandonment of the
 srgcu-day. they must be met.
 That steps should be taken now
 that shall have for their purpose
 and end a reasonable and just ar
 ruuyeuleut tO all concerned. Of the
 problems involved in this ques-
 t.Ou-that ot reducing the long
 hours of labor-we would respect
 Ju.ly recommend to the intelligent
 and thoughtful consideration of
 tHe proper officers of the corpora
 t5ou.
 In respect to the proposed elimi- nation of the I2-hour day Mir. Gary notes that the members of the com mit,re which is now at work on the problem " have not reached con- clusion which is entirely satisfac- tory 10 all of them with respect to some of the features involved" He does not say what these features are but it is said that one difficulty has aecH in the reported opposition by workers who would have to submit to a reduction in wages if the change to an eight-hour day should be made. It has also been estimated that the cost to the corporation for housing for the additional employees would be between $7o,0oO.QOO and SlOO.OOO,- o0o.
 IJ is significant. however, that the bali-century-old 12-hour day is not upheld on the ground that it it es- sent!al to the industry. The read iustment would cos: something and would cause some dissatisfaction. If that is all, there is evidently good reason to hope that the reform will come before long. The 12-hour day Was recently done away with in the steel industry of Great Britain and it is said that the new order is ap- proved by all concerned, with sub sJantially no dissenting voice. And Great Britain as a large exporter of steel products is under the economic necessity of adjusting it's conditions of production to the facts of vigor- ous competition.
 It is interesting to know that the change was brought about in Great Britain by the vigorous campaigning of the labor unions; that they offer
