Russian Refugee Problem In Turkey
 Nearing Solution

London, Sept Final solution of the Russian refugee problem in Con- stantinople which the Earl of Bal four once described as a running the London office of the American Re- lief Administration.
 Early this spring the American Re- lief Administration made an offer to care for the 15,000 exiles in that city. provided the countries represented in the League of Nations would sub scribe the f30,000 necessary to evacuate them to places where they could be made self-supporting. The American Relief Administration s own funds for this purpose consisted of S100,000 contributed by the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Memorial Foun- dation. With this amount it was esti- mated the refugees could be support ed for four months. The Y. M. c. A., also provided another $50,o00, with which the children could be educated after their evacuation,
 Seven countries have now come for ward with the necessary money for evacuation purposes. They are Great Britain, FLO, ,00O; Switzerland, 10000 Brazil, $500; Belgium, 50,00o francs: Czechoslovakia, 500,0O0 crowns and Japan, f3,000.
 The American Relief Administra- ton therefore has initiated its feeding program and, according to latest cabIed advices, nearly 10 900 people are at present being fed, although the relief work was begun only on July 9. These are divided between 83S chill dren under the age of four with their m mothers; 700 children over four; 5000 odd adults, and over 500 hospital patients.
 The countries to which these refu- gees will be evacuated within the next l four months, include Hungary, Jugo. slavia and Bulgaria which have signi- fled their willingness to absorb the

Machine Guns Asked
 by Ship Captains to
 Combat Drug Runners

Honolulu, Sept. 1.-Basing their plea on the increasing activities Of opium runners in Hawaiian waters, masters of several trans-Pac1rs pas serger steamers have taken preImi- nary steps to obtain official authority to equip their vessels with machine gums with which to keep all suspic- ious craft at safe distance while ap- preaching or departing from Homo lulu.
 During the last few months opium of an estimated value of over S100,O00 is said to have been landed at Homo lulu from trans-P Pacific vessels. Small power boats, manned as rule by Orientals, are thought to be the means of transportation used by the snug gIers in getting their contraband ashore. It Is understood that the re- Iuest will be incorporated in a formal petition and forwarded to Washington
