Napoleon III Came Along. Coming down to recent history, a tablet tells of the coming of the army of Louis Napoleon in 1860, when the sacres in the Lebanons called for opean interference and France first set her foot in Syria. Nearly sixty years passed by, and then the English army, led by Gen. Allenby and assisted by the French, swept up like a whirlwind from the South four years ago and ended the rule of the Turk in the southern part of the Levant. A panel has been cut in_the clift near those of the ancient Egyptians teiling of this great victory and bringing this wonderful cliff record of history up to date.

Page Gained World Recogn Power as Diplomat During Critical Relations. Author of 34 Books and Many Other Writings. Thomas Nelson Page was one of the last of the great figures of the old south. As one of the best known of latter-day Virginial he had a varied career as lawyer, author and diplo- mat. He was born at Oakland on April 23, 1863. He was born and reared by aristocratic pareats, the son of Maj. John and Elizabeth Burwell Nelson Page. Both his father and mother were grandchildren of Thomas Nelson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, one of the ¢ Gov- ernors of Virginia and commander of the Virginia forces at Yorktown. With his brothers, he learned the re- sponsibilities of life within sound of the guns of the bloodiest campaigns of the war between the states. These experiences he later described in “Two Little Confederates Happy Chil Until the breaking out of the war, however, the boys spent their time after the manner of happy southern children of that perlod, playing about the flelds, with the young negroes of the plantation as their companions, or listening to the tales of their elders around the cabin fire. When Sunday came, marbles, tops and strings were ut away, and, “raln or shine.” the; amily carriage, with four horses or as many mules attached, was brought out to take them to “Tire Forks church. After attending school in Hanover county, Dr. Page went to Hanover Academy, later to Washington C lege, now Washington and Lee Uni- raity, for three sessions. He grad- uated from the University of Virginia | THOMAS Century and University clubs of New York city. He was ‘a brother-in-law of William Cabell Bruce, the democratic candidate for the Unjted States Senate from Maryland, ‘his first wife having been Mr. ‘Bruce's sister. The two men were warmly attached to each other, the relationship being as affectionate as that between most blood brothers. Mr, Page was taking an interest in Mr. Bruce's campaign, Only last week he had been in Wash- Ington and Maryland, where he par- ticipated in~ the political campaign, speaking In advocacy of the candidacy of his brother-in-law. He was to have spoken at a rally in Baltimore today. He had gone to the ancestral home, now occupied by his brother, to spend the winter, except for occasional visits to Washington and had_announced that he would soon begin the preparation of a book dealing with his experiences as ambassador to Italy. NELSON' PAGE. Twice Married. He married Anne Seldon Bruce in 1856. who died December 22, 1888. He remarricd in 1893, his second wife being Florence Lathrop Field, widow of Henry in 1874. Just before taking the 1awW | kicid" of Chicago and grandaaughied course Mr. Page taught school iniof Gov. Barbour of Virginia, His seco Kentucky. 'uml wife died June 6. 1921.

He practiced law in Richmond _(rnm 1875 to 1893, when he moved to Wash- ington. He resided for a number of years at 1759 R street. Mr. Page was appointed ambassa- dor to Italy in June, 1913. and con- tinued In that capacity until August, 1919, his service covering a critical period in American-European rela- tions. More than one of the diplo fc notes passing between the United States and the allled govern- ments went through his hands. Services 1 World Peace. In the summer of 1919 he returned | to Washington to confer with officials concerning detalls of peace and re- construction in Europe and indicated that because of advancing years he would be glad to lay down the official burden he had carried throughout the war. He placed before President Wil- son at a long White House confer- ence a final report on conditions in Europe, and soon thereafter left the service of the government. Much of his time thereafter was spent in study and occasional writing. He made his home in Washington. ‘but recently sold his house with the intention of spending most of his time in Virginia. Although the services he performed as ambassador at Rome in the try- ing war years were of great value to the govenment, Mr. Page was perhaps best known_for his literary produc- tions, which*had won for him a name both at home and abroad long betore he accepted the diplomatic appoint- ment from President Wilson. It was, in fact, this literary talent which es- pecially endeared him to the Italian people. First Attempt at Authorship. His first attempt at authorship was an acrostic, written when he was a child and published in the Southern Churchman, the appearance of which, in its printed form, was at once a source of pride and disappointment to him. While at college he again es- sayed to write, contributing to the Collegian, a paper gotten out by the of which he finally became the editor. He did little literary work after graduating at law, but in 1386, with his marriage to Miss Anne Sed- don Bruce of Charlotte county, Va. came a_renewal of the literary im- pulse. She cared for his storles and cherished for him lofty ambitions and he wrote for her. At this period he added tp his profession as a writer that of public lecturer. Wrote Thirty-Four Books. Versatile and prolific, his contribu- tions_to literature comprise thirty- four books and numerous articles. From “Tommy Trot's Visit to Santa Claus” to the “Life of Thomas Jeffer- son,” which Page wrote in Italian during his service at Rome, is a great p, yet is spanned with a succes- on of literary works ranging from the whimsical to the matter-of-fact stories of history. 5 There was nothing in all his writ- ings that reflected the sordid side of life. Rather his novels were of pleas- ant adventures, with more attention paid to elegant phrasing than to vig- orous action, and with homely senti- ment outlined strongly in books that contalned no trace of sex interest. He wrote of a certain land almost con- | tinuously, and did much to weave the thread of romance in and through the | south. Title of Writings. A brief list of his works shows how strongly his homeland exerted itself in his writings: Virginia,” “Two Little Con- ‘War,” “Pastime Sto! of the Guns,” “Unc’ Lady,” “Marse Chan,’ Life in Old Virginia, tleman of the Black Stock,” “Two’ Prisoners,” “Red Rock,” “Santa Claus Partner,” “A Captured Santa Claus,” “Gordon Keith,”™ *“The Negro—the Southerner’s Problem,” “Bred in the Bon “The Coast’ of Bohemia” (poems), “Under the Crust,” “The Old n—Her Making and Her Man- ‘Robert E.

Lee, the Man and Soldler, “The Land of the Spirit,” “Life of ‘Thomas Jefterson” (in Italian), and “Italy and the World War.” His writ- ings were published at short intervals from 1887 to 1930. His literary career was the big part of his life, to which the appointment as aml or to Italy came as the climax. However, he studied the problems of Italy with the same thoroughness that he had given to the problems of the south, and the result is shown in his book, “Italy and the World War.” This was write ten two years after his “Life of Jef- ferson” and was highly praised. In the thirty-three years betwees 1887, when he published “In Ole Vi inia,” and 1920, when “Italy and the orld War” wi issued, he wrote thirty-four books, besides numerous short sketches for the higher grade magazines. -Yet in them there is no trace of hurried work. He was a writer who had been taught that carefulness is & virtue and that ac- curacy is not onae of the deadly sins, Member of Preminent Clubs.

League Working to Save Greeks and Armenians. BY WILLIAM E. NASH. Chies 3 By Cable to n-‘_:;;a;:g {hicago Daily News. GENEVA, Novembver 2.—Protection of the minorities within the Ottoman em- pire remains today one of the key prob- lems to peace in the Balkans, for it is admitted generally that neither the Greeks nor the Armenians cun be left ! quite at the mercy of the victorious Turk. They must be protected by some ort of an international convention and it is understood that the powers have decided to pass this question over to |the league of nations at the Lausanne conference. The league secret ‘worked out proposals in Idvl.:lne:“ e Plan Exchange for Greeks. According to information gathered in Geneva, the main proposals are two. One I8 for a systematic ex- change for the Teeks in Turkey and for the Turks in Greece and the other is for blanket guaranties for the other Christian races. For some time negotiations have been going on between Gree. Bulgaria, under the aegis. of .l'}:‘: league. for a raclprocal exchinge of minorities. Both nations have passed 1aws to help It into execution. Refu- gees who fled before the beginning £ the world war have been included. 260,000 Want Change. Estimates piaced the numb.

Nutt Declares. ing of the tawdry, low-caste, oaked dance hall, where paint- ed women, wine and song added their more viclous kjck of narcotics to vic- tims, and operation of the stringent new drugs act of May 26 have chiefly contributed to the decrease in drug addicts In the United States, in the view of Col. L. G. Nutt, chief of the United States narcotic section. “The old-fashioned low-down dance hall,” said Col. Nutt, “used to be one of the most dangerous places for young men and women of tender years in contracting the drug habits. I have talked personally with thou- Bands of addlcts, particularly in New York city, and 3 great part of them have confessed that they first recelv- ed the ‘kick’ of drugs in one of those |places. Offers Help, With a Wink. “They would go 10 these halls where rum usually flowed freely, dance ‘till midnight, and in spite of the stimu- lation of liquor begin to feel a bit idrowsy. Then one of the ‘initiated companions, with a wink, would of- fer help. The help was usually in the form of a narcotic tablet, at firat, these addicts told me. After the tab- let they would feel added stimulation, usually powerful at first, and dance perhaps the rest of the night. After ten or twelve doses they became ad- dicts.” Many soldiers, sad to relate, Col. utt said, h; contracted the drug abit in the service. It was entirely unintentional on the part of the gov- ernment, but resulted from . the wounds ‘of battle. Suffering the ter- ribly excruclating pains of fresh wounds, and walting for treatment at the hands of Army surgeons (so the soldiers), they had been glv- en morphine to quiet their shattered nerves, and soothe the pain. Col. Nutt said he had found from that begin- Ining. quite a number had contracted the habit of drugs. This source of adding terrible toll to the ranks of the drug addicts, of course, had been eliminated, sald the colonel, along with the end of the war. Estimates Number of Addicts. There are now probably less than a million drug addicts in the United States, Col. Nutt estimated. Any es- timate, however, he said, could be only more or less of a guess. New York city and the Paclfic coast have been reported as danger spots on ac- count of imports and drug peddlers, but the operation of the new nar- cotic drugs import and export act of May has, according to the colonel, sharply cut down the amount of habit-forming drugs entering _the country and closed about those which do_enter a more stringent check. Customs officials, working under advisers from the Treasury, State and Commerce departments, as provided In the act, have been finding the teeth of tbe new law effective. Particular- ly does the ten-year penitentiary penalty for violation prove efficacious, they report. Some strange complexes in the drug addict's tendency to spread his viclous habits have been revealed, Col. Nutt has found in his personal investigations. Not Often mmunicated. “The terrors of the life seldom are communicated to children from addict parents, nor to brothers or sisters,” he said. “Although they get a powerful stimulant, which they enjoy and from which they cannot free themselves,” continued the colonel, “they would never suggest to their sisters, for in- stance, the habit. ‘Tell my sister to become an addict? one of the poor | fellows said to me: ‘that’s the last thing I would do. I would rather see her dead.”"” But, on the contrary, several hus- bands and wives have been discover- ediiibothiaddicts, evidently’ contract- ing the habit one from the other. And in the dow-caste dance halls, of which the colonel spoke with concern, there seemed to be pride in passing on the | stimulation. | SPEECHES TURN WOMAN | TODEMOCRATIG PARTY senatorial Listening to speeches dally during the past session *con-| verted” Mrs. A.
