 IN WAR ON BOOZE
New Effort to Stamp Out Phila-
 delphia Alcohol Ring ,,

Philadelphia, July Il P,-Another drive,-this time with the federal authorities Tn the van.-to dry up" Philadelphia, stop the flow Of al- cohol through forbidden channels. bring an end to the activities of an alleged alcohol ring and prevent hair tonic and perfume manufac- turers from supplying to hootleggers. has resulted in the indictment by a federal grand jury of forty eight in- diViduals and six corporations.
 But Opening Guns
 The indictments returned yester- day to use the words of Assistant United States District Attorney Hem " B, Friedman. are but the "open- ing guns" of the warfare that is to come against illegal alcohol dealers. Friedman has promised 75 more in- dictments which he said would be returned when evidence uncovered by special force Of 100 under cover" investigators of the Intelh- gence Unit of the Internal Revenue Bureau is presented.
 Policemen Implicated
 The grand jury report mentioned more than half a dozen Philadelphia policemen who were said to be in- plicated in the work of diverting al- cohol and accepting bribes for Keeping quiet" Theirs names were submitted to Director of Public Safety Butler for action.
 The campaign against illegal deal- CTS in alcohol has become so pro- nounced, Attorney Friedman said. that the guilty ones have set gum men on the trail of the federal in- vestigators. One agent, K. Woodside, Friedman said was set upon by gang of gunmen after he had been summoned 10 certain location. Woodside's arranging for a police guard to follow him. however, pre- vented the success of the attack.
 To Claim Bonds
 Tn addition to prosecuting those under indictment Friedman hopes to force them to forfeit the in- demnity bonds posted as guarantees that the law would not be violated. These bonds range from $5,o00 to st00,000. If successful in this at- tempt, the district attorney said, the federal treasury would be en- riched by nearly 6 million dollars.

ANIkCHRISTIANS SOUGHT
 TO PREVENT RESURRECTION
So Buried Heads of Their Victims Far From Their
 Bodies.

New York, July Il Pl--Dr. Earl K, Bull, missionary of the Mctho- dist Episcopal church in charge of the work in the Loo Choo Islands district ot Japan. reports that in his travels about the island of Amakusa, he recently came across q huge grave marked by large stone boulder on which it is stated that the heads of Hill Christians lie buried there.
 The grave dates back to the year lGS7, when the Japanese practically wiped out all the Christians who had been converted to that faith by Ro- man Catholic missionaries. The in- scrirtion over this grave tells that
 3$,333 Christians were, slain, be- headed and buried. Their heads were buried in graves many miles distaut from the rest of their bodies. Only onc-third of the Christian
 heads were buried in this particular island.
 When Dr, Hul made inquiries as 10 why the heads were buried in graves miles distant from the other parts of the bodies. he was told, "Whon tho Catholic priests preached about inc resurrection, they said that Christians would rise again, Fear
 ing that it might he true, the off, cials of the prosecuting Shogun de- termined that they would make it impossible for them 10 rise again
 by separating different parts of the bodies of the dead Christians. If their heads were buried in. one town
 ship and other rnrts of their bodies 1 in another township. they concluded that the resurrection was then i'm possible"

One Of the youngest ot American Verse writers ever to achieve fame and certainly one or the three or four real poets alive today is Edna St. Vincent Millay, but q few short years ago a Nassar undergraduate. Miss AIillay attracted attention from her first day at college. and she had scarce graduated therefrom when the callbre of her verse won her country wide recognition. And to- day her fame IS international, her place in literature secure, her su- periors none.

Miss Mtllay has written a consid- orable amount of beautiful poetry. She has been often praised, and 1t was not so long ago that he heard a well-known critic declare that he had at last become convinced that Miss NIillay was the only poet in America. Rather an emphatic trih- Ute, thts, we might say. In 1922 she was awarded the Pulitzer prize for poetry, her offering winning in this great competition being The Harp Weaver" the title poem of her lat est book of verse.
