Sis™ bilities, the law, I NE AND THE CRISIS. Premier Lenine, of Russla, is going back on the job. He returns from his place of semi-seclusion just time to insert himself into the Near East which are at a crisis It speculate what effect his entrance into the discus- sions, either by his presence through his personal influence from a distance, will have on the present situation, or whether it will have any influence . As a primary assumption it may be stated that Lenine will try to become a factor. A little ago he reported to have said that the Euro- the point of throats and meanwhile could afford But that he seems to be in better health, will not want to wait. While not always sympathize the warlike utterances of nevertheless in matters is interesting to or at all. while is pean nations were at flying that to wait at each other's Russia Lenine, now he does with Trotsky, he is not, characteristically, a “wait- er”, and the present crisis, with Tur- key supposed to be most considerate of the Soviet, is too good a time for him to get into the limelight to be missed. But in Kemal it is beliaved he will find a man who rather scornful of ideas professed, at least, Lenine. Mrs, Sheridan, of the Kipling interview quotes Kemal disavowing communist ideas. ['nless one judges Kemal erroneously, he goes farther than that. He looks down upon women—and “looking down upon” anyone not at all communistic. Probably Kemal has little patience with the Lenine creed of the equality of all self to be is the “democratic"” by fame, as is men. Kemal conceives him- far superior to most men. It is this conviction which has given him his ability to lead, augmented, as it hag been, by thought and study. In comparison with Kemal Lenine is a white-clad personification of law and order. It is therefore because of the pow- erful personality of Kemal that Lenine will play a small part in the discussions of that comes. It is not unlikely, if the imagination be allowed some play, that the treatment accorded Lenine by Kemal will separate ralher: than bring together Turkey and Russia’ unless the Turk 1s able to' any conference may conceal his personal contempt for the Soviet leader In recognition of the wisdom of keeping Russia's present friendship—somgthing that the Turks have long mlnnn‘ Whatever the re- sult the meeting of these two inter- natlonal outlaws, if it comes, will be deserving of close attenplon. FICTION AND CRIME, The number of mysterious murders that have remained long unsolved and which have been placed before the reading public recently, suggests an tdea which some might call fan- tastic. It is the reversing of a certain story of fiction published some years ago In one of the national mags The tale was that of an author traveling a short distance in a smok- ing compartment of a Pullman car. A well-dressed stranger got into con- versation with him and, frankly acknowledging that he recognized the author as a famous writer of detec- tive tales, aroused the writer's pro- fessional pride by describing the man- ner in which a supposedly fictitious pearl of great price was guarded The stranger was inventing the story, apparently, “putting it up to" the writer to discover, through his trained Ingenuity, some way in which a burg- lar would be able to steal the pear! without detection by getting through the guard which had placed about {t. The author was able to solve the problem and quickly he invented, for the benefit of the interesting stranger. a method by which the theft could be accomplished. Two days later a ‘priceless pear!” was stolen. zines. been No one on the police force could see how the thief got at it. But the author saw immediately that this had been guarded in the exact way described by the attractive stranger on the train. The author set to work on the case and found that the thief had worked according to the plan he himself had innocently suggested. He, the author, had made it possible for the thtef to steal the gem. Reversing the process it is quite possible that the famous writers of today, had they the ingenuity of Sir Conan Doyle, for instance, would be la to work hackwards and solve ome of the mysteries which are bat- fling the police. They, the authors, would not suggest the way of com- mitting the crime, but, having all the facts of the crime at their disposal, might be able to work back, step by step, to the person or persons who would follow the course which must have been followed by the criminals.

MIGHAEL IS FINE, COAL HONEY GOES Brady Pays $20 and Costs-Boy Sent Back to Reformatory the Vega for new “There goes the coal money,"” Michael Brady cried out to his wite who had appeared against him in drunkenness ond breach of theé peace charges in police court today, and he had been fined a total of $20 and costs. Brady was arrested last night by Patrolman John Nolan at his home at 70 Beaver street, after a series of complaints. The policeman testified that Brady was drunk and noisy, and his wife reported that he had been drinking and created a disturbance when he came home at night. Neighbors said the accused had been disturbing the neighborhood all eve- ning. i Brady said he had a few words with his wife in his own home and could see no reason why a policeman should come in and arrest him. Judge G. W. Klett was of the opinion that there was sufficient reason, and he imposed the penalty. Christian Neilsen, on parole from the Cheshire reférmatory, was or- dered returned to that institution for theft of cutlery from Landers factory. Acting upon a complaint, Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue arrested Neil- sen yesterday at the factory. A quan- tity of cutlery was found in his room on Main street, and more was recov- ered at a tailoring establishment where it had been tendered in pay- ment for a suit of clothes. The ac- cused pleaded guilty this morning. Patrolman William Souney arrested Edward Bowles for drunkenness and breach of the peace. His case was continued for one week to determine the possibility of ironing out domestic wrinkle: Bowles learned yesterday that his wife had been making ar- rangements for separation. He drank some liquor and then returned home to rémonstrate with her. When he became noisy the police were called. GRENFELL STEAMER SIN 20 Years' Scrvice in Arc- tic Regions Goes Under Waves. St. John's, N. F. Oct. 4.—The Greenfell mission steamer Strathcona, which has completed 20 years' service along the coasts of Labrador and northern New Foundland as an hos- pital ship, nk Monday a few miles off Cabot land. Heavy seas caused Strathcona on Tuesday of last week, but this was not regarded as ious at first. Monday morning she co tinued her voyage from St. Anthony to Bay Roberts, where she was to lay up for the winter. Ten miles out water began to pour in rapidly and the ship had to be abandoned. She sank within half an hour, the crew of six being landed at St. John's by the schooner Grace, which stood by her 1 the last.

If only I can aid in mak- ing men and women live cleaner, sweeter and more wholesome lives I shall be well satisfied.” Mrs. Felton reminds one of the old- fashioned mother portrayed on the American stage of today. Her hair is as white as snow and her face wrinkled, but despite her age she is very active. She possesses a magnetic personality. Although retiring in her manner, the "grand old woman of Georgia,” as she is known through- out the south, talks as fluently as she writes, and does not hesitate to ex- press her views on important issues of the day. “A strong nation is dependent up- on its women and the manner in which the women of this country grasp thelr opportunities will decide most of the great issues of the fu- ture,” Mrs. Felton said. “Women's entry into politicai af- fairs is the most romantic develop- ment in this country's history.
