SECRET EXILE IS
 SOVIET SYSTEM NOW
Russian Political Police Make Quick Raids and Give No Trials to
 Accused.

Riga, Aug. 30. - (By Associated Press) by the Russian soviet government of the old Czarist "ad- ministrative exile' has restored to the political police, the Cheka's success sors, the power of dealing secretly with the soviet's enemies
 The series of sudden arrests and exile without trial of scores of per sons unfriendy to the soviet regime or of those suspected of having coun- ter-revolutionary tendencies has cre- ated a new mild reign of terror throughout the country, according to advices reaching here.
 Punishment is understood to be lim- ited to three years under the new de- cree. Scores of mensheviks and a number of intellectuals have been thus dealt with in the last fortnight. In some instances. prominent doctors were summarily haled before the po- lice and handed enough money to pay their fares to Riga or Berlin, being told to abandon their families, prac- tices and property and leave Russia immediately
 Many of the exiles are being sent to the same places in Siberia where the bolshevik leaders themselves were eX- ing to information received here.
 The arrests are being carried out with such secrecy and there is such

MISS C0LLE7T WINS
Providence Woman Captures Medal in Invitation Golf Tournament on SheneCOSsett Links.

New London, Conn.,. Aug. 30.-Miss Glenna Colett of Providence won the medal in the annual Shenecossett in- vitation tournament here yesterday with a round of S4. She got away with a fine start and covered the first nine holes in 40, due principally to the fact that she took only one putt on seven greens. Her drive owing to the rains of the day previous was not as long as usual, as there was no roll. Coming home, Miss Collects putting was just as bad as it had been good on the first nine. At the rome hole she took three putts from the middle of the green.
 Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, a former champion, required SS to go around. She was better by three strokes than Miss Edith Cummings of Onwentsia who is thought to have the best chance here to defeat Miss Collett.
 The draw will find the three favor ties in the first half. The Misses Cummings and Collett should meet in the second round, with the winner facing Mrs, Hurd.

SOCIETIES AID IN
 CHILDREN'S CARE
Fraternal Organizations Help to
 Prepare for Futures

Montreal, P. O., Aug. 30-Fraternal and secret societies of North Amer lea constitute the "one potential force that can solve the problem of con serving child life" H. c. Evans Of Des Moines, Iowa, editor of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, said today in addressing the National Fraternal Congress.
 These organizations. numbering approximately one-fourth of the peo- pie of North America in their mem berships can. by deciding on a defin- ite, national program, eradicate many of the neglects of orphaned and homeless children" he declared, 'and thus greatly decrease the number of persons in jails. prisons and other public institutions whose presence there can be directly traced to neg lect in childhood"
 Establish Bureau
 The chidren's bureau of the la bor department was esta blished by the act of April 9, 1912. with powers to in vestigate and report" Mir. Evans pointed out. yet in May. 1884 congress created the bureau of animal industry and later gave it powers to suppress contagious diseases in live stock
 My contention Is that as the bu- reau Of animal industry was given authority to save the lives of hogs and cattle. and money was appropri- ated outright for that purpose. the children's bureau should be given au- thority to save the lives of children" he continued.
 T believe with Herbert Hoover that the proper care of children for one generation would solve most of our perplexing problems
 State and national institutions, re- formatories and poor farms will not solve the problem, Mir. Evans de- clared He added that institutional made children are apt to be like the products of a factory; no individu- ality. Every child is bent to fit the mould.
 There should be cottages, not built along streets like a country village, but nestled among trees on hillsides, with paths and roads connecting them, Mir. Evans said. Each cottage should contain from eight to ten children of all ages and foster mother Between groups of cottage there should be school houses, play grounds and shops. The children should have their own pigs, chickens and gardens.

WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY
Japan Prepares To Erect School As Demand For Institutions Of That Sort Grows Daily

HIoNS buhS
 Toklo, Aug 30.-Another university for women is to be founded in Japan. It is proposed for this purpose to ex- pand the Jissen Girls school. the principal of which is Madame Shim- oda, a famous educatonalist. Wis count Shibusawa who is devoting his time and labor to the advancement of his country. has been asked to be- come chairman of the establishment committee.
 There has been felt a great need for such a university" said the direc- tor Of the Jissen Girls school "The fall of Russia as an empire was due in large part to the lack of educa- tional institutions for women. Before the Russian revolution girls of we'll to-do families were compelled to com pete their education by studying abroad. The result was the growth of alien thought in the upper class families.
 Japan resembles Imperial Russia in the lack of higher schools for girls. If unchecked the present tend ency of Japanese women to seek ad- Nanced education in foreign countries will result in the creation of a seri- ous situation
 Japan already has one university for women, the Joshi Daigaku.

Luck was with him when they came to Caribou Crossing, for a shift of wind at the right time sent them humming down the connecting link between Lakes Taggis and Marsh. Nothing could stop them, and Jack, his expert enced mittened hand nearly frozen to the tiller he had rigged held on in high fertile across the menacing Win dy Arm, where in a stormy twilight he saw two other boatloads of men turn over and miserably perish.

Charmian London, lis wife, describes him in her extra{ordinary new biography, "The Book tof Jack London" published by the Century Company.
 The young adyenturer dug little gold out of the grass roots, but there he found the great dog Buck" together with the characters and surrotundings that appeared in "The Cal4 of the Wild" the solid foundations tof his later fame and fortune. Jackt made good his fathers prophecy that "Jack is going to make a success out Spf the Klondike he digs it out of the grass roots or not.'
 Arrivals Were Like Lunatics.
 Mrs London thus tells her story of the latter part of Jacks journey& to the land of gold:
 Forty=two miles northwest of tu- neau they reached the end of the(ir crowded voyage and stretched thenh selves on the beach of the Indian viA- lage of Dyea, a mere cluster of hutS above the reach of high tide on the Chilkoot Inlet of Lynn Canal.

Many of the arrivals were like lunatics fully as responsible as newly headless fowl in this scramble into an unpitying frozen land.

 But that night they slept on the Flats five miles above Dyea, at the head of canoe navigation where the Dyea river narrows to torrent burst ing from a snowy canyon, fed by far glaciers. For once Jack was willing to own that he was dead tired. Captain Shepard, of course, was of negligible worth as draft partner, and Jack, soft from the inactivity of long days on shipboard, ached in every muscle and in his scarided shoulders, from towing their thousands of pounds of belongings upstream.
