TRUTH REVEALED Lord Northdliffe Tells of Keith Mur- doch’s Dispatch Which Concluded Horrible Gallipoli Story. London, Aug. 6.—Lord Northcliffe recently revealed an interesting bit of war history concerning the evacua- tion of Gallipolt. ‘The hero of the story was Keith Murdoch, an Aus- tralian journalist, who is returning home to become editor of the Mel- bourne Herald, and the occasion of the telling of it was a luncheon given to Mr. Murdoch by the Times. “It is an open secret” said Lord Northcliffe in proposing Mr. Mur- doch’s health, “that it was due to his initiative that the Australians and the rest were removed from Gallipoli. Coming to Europe for the first time he went to Gallipol! peninsula and for the first time the truth was re- .340. @ brought a dispatch, a very ter- 1ible dispatch which 1 believe was in- tended to be sent to Australia. Ha thowed that dispatch to me and I cuggested that the time which would Le spent in carrying that ghastly rec- ord to the Antipodes could be better used for the purpose of immediate action. “1 asked him to take it to Lloyd George and one of the finest pieces ct work the prime minister did in the war was to circulate the document to the whole cabinet, which then con- tisted of 20 persons. As a result of Keith Murdoch’s dispatch immediate action was taken and that horrible story was concluded.” SAYS WOMEN SHOULD WORK Judge Insists That the Old Belief “Doesn’t Go Any More.” ' Portland, Ore., Aug. 6.—Mrs. Violet M. Kuhn, who obtained a default di- vorce decree yesterday, was told by Circuit Judge John McCourt that it does not harm any woman to do work that she is physically able to perform. Mrs. Kuhn asserted her husband did not earn enough to support them both and she had to go to work in a beauty parlor. “‘It didn’t hurt you, did it?"’ asked the judge. ““Well, a woman isn't supposed work,"* plied the plaintiff. ‘‘Bosh,”” was the judicial comment. ““There is nothing in the theory that a woman should not work, if she isn't raising a family, and is physically able. That old belief doesn’'t go any more."" to EFFECT OF CIGARETTE TAX. Higher Cost to Comsumer Forecast By Distributor.

Rome, Aug. 6.—Francesco Saverio Nitti, former premier, minister of the interior, minister of agriculture and now 2 member of the chamber of deputies from Potenza, is a “periodic- al smoker. He smokes like a chim- ney for a year and then, upon a pre- cise date, jumps aboard the anti- nicotine band wagon where, for a twelve-month, he abstains from using the weed. Signor Nitti in keeping with ' the practice, recently saturated himself in tobacco fumes on the eve of be- ginning his year's fast. Acording to his paper the Tempo, he ordinarily consumes ten cigars and many cig- arettes each day. It is in recent yvears that he has adopted the plan of smoking for one year and abstain- ing the next, in order that his health may suffer no ill effects. This year's fast began on July 1 and, acording to the!former premier's own admis- sion, he would give up the day with “am orgy of puffs.” NEARLY WRECK A TRAIN. Two Youths Held for Obstructing Tracks Near New Hartford, Conn. ‘Winsted, Aug. 6.—Archie McCarthy, 18 years old, of Hartford, and Nicholas Borgea, 17, of Providence, who were arrested here last night by the Winsted police, admitted having placed railroad ties across the Central New England tracks on an embankment near New Hartford and having stolen two horses valued at $600 in West Hartford on Wednesday. Each carried a .32-cali- bre revolver. They obstructed the rallroad tracks, they said, in order to stop a train and get a lift. McCarthy says his compan- ion balked when M. O'Connor of Springfield, Mass., driving a west- bound freight train, stopped it just in time to save it from being wrecked. The boys were in ambush near the scene when the freight stopped. They were walking the track when taken to- night. They are held charged with attempt- ing to wreck a train, with horse steal- ing and with carrying concealed wea- pons.

ONE TRAIN A WEEK Railroad Service Between Moscow and Kiev Reduced to Shadow; Traf- fic Particularly Serious. Warsaw, Aug. 6.—Railroad service between Moscow and Kiev, Russia, has been reduced to an average of one train a weef for freight and pas- sengers. Russia's transportation difficulties, because of the general deterioration of the railroads under.the Bolsheviki regime, according to Moscow reports, have brought about other odd situa- tions. While southern Russia has a surplus of corn and has been en- deavoring to export it to Italy, north- ern Russia has been buying the same kind of grain from foreign countries. The traffic situation all over central Russla is said to be particularly ser- ious. The metal production of Russia is reported to have reached only two per cent. of the pre-war figures, the coal production about 20 per cent. and the oil production 40 percent. AUSTRALIA WITHDRAWS Does Not Care to Remain in System of Empire Communications Adopted by Wireless Committees at Conference. London, Aug. 8. (Canadian Press)— Australia has withdrawn from the scheme of empire communications adopted by the wireless committee of the imperial conference but has promis- ed to cooperate with the other British dominions in carrying out the plan which has been adopted by the commit- tee, it was reported here last night. The plan was evolved following a discussion of communications between the domin- jons and the mother country. Under the present scheme there would be four or five relays of dis- patches before Australia would receive them and Pramier Hughes declared that direct communication between England and Australia, or at least a system with only one relay would be possible. He intends to leave the Australian par- liament free to adopt any scheme, con- trolled either privately or by the state, Australia unadertaking the financial re- sponsibility, NEW BRUNSWICK HAS DEVASTATING FIRES ‘Valuable Mill and Lumber Properties Wiped Out in Succession of Disasters. St. Johns, N. B., Aug. 6.—After successfully combatting the forest fire peril during the drought of June and the early part of July, keeping the property loss during this period to a minimum, New Brunswick has been visited during the last two weeks by a series of disastrous fires, largely in mill and lumber properties, doing damage estimated at $3,000,000. The lumber, plant and machinery destroyed was insured almost up to its full value an‘d local agents esti- mate that the losses borne by in- surance companies in this province during the last fortnight alone is 50 per cent greater than the total loss of 192 Bix fires were responsible for the greater part of the loss, including the tollowing: Lumber belonging to the Gooday company, Quebec, and Stetson, Cutler & Co,, Boston concern. destroyed at Milford last night, about $45,000; forty buildings in Richibucto yester- day, $500,000; losses by the Frazer company, Ltd., at Nelson and Victoria Mills, more than $750,000; and disas- trous fii on the properties of W. B. Snowball company, Chatham, and O. and J. Buckley, Bathurst. Many American visitors were in Richibucto and some of their auto- mobiles were burned in the garage. It is Changing Buying Habits The Paige 6-66 model isa truly represents a-great economic a. mum motoring qualities at minimum cost. It means sane, sensible investment value instead of extrave agance. Therefore it has ch: t motor car because it evement. It means maxi- and will continue to change, buying habits in the fine car field of America. You have but to look about you for the evidence. The boulevards tell the story. For more than 25% of our total sales have replaced cars costing from one to three thousand dollars more than the Paige. In short, the fine car buyer has grown weary of ‘‘excess fare.”” He now cuts his investment in drives the undisputed champion of road and track. it over.
