ONE TRAGEDY OF GREAT WAR Everjr Street In Constantinople ta Crowded With Refugees From Rus> •a sis--'Wives and Daughtera In Menial Occupations. Constantinople.--When Russia was a mighty nation under her raars It was the Slav dream to march into Constantinople. Well, the Russians in their thousands have reached this city, but their presence means not a triumph, but one of the great tragedies of the aftermath of the war. The allies, and especially France, backed and financed a number of attempts on the part of Russians to break down the Bolshevist government and substitute one that would do business with western Europe. •? The last of these mercenary armies was the one led-by General Wrangel, who at One time was master of the Crimea. But just as soon aa the Bolsheviks Secured pete# with tatadflt they' • Canadian Steamship Breaks ia Two The Canadian government steamship C&nadAftft Exporter, an 8,000-ton freighter carrying a $1,500,000 cargo, broke in half after running aground on a sand spit off Wlllapa harbor, Washington. The vessel went on the spit when her^ comphss* faBid to work. Her crew of 43 were taken off. smashed Wrangel to smithereens. The Crimea witnessed one of the greatest scrambles In history. Soldiers and their leaders, civilians and their wives and families, clamored for ships to take them away before the avenging Bolsheviks came in. The vessels which were finally supplied for the refugees were jammed beyond human endurance. Filled With Refugees. Thousands of the survivors of this page of recent history were brought to< Constantinople. Rvery street In Constantinople la crowded with them. Near this City you may see broad-faced Mongolians and Kalmuck Tartars, who were once In WrangeFs army, working on the railway tracks.. In the city Itself the Russians have largely turned to peddling. Their wives and sisters and daughters have taken to waiting in little restaurants or washing dishes or scrubbing floors or doing family washing. Many have been forced by sheer want into immorality. And there are thousands who have no visible means of support They sell nothing. They do not work. They simply walk die streets aimlessly. Many of them have shirts, but no coats. If you see them with coats buttoned up to the neck, you may know that they have neither shirt nor undershirt underneath. In this blazing hot oriental weather many of them go about with great, long, heavy cossack coats whose collars and sleeves are trimmed with thick astrachan. Shift for Themselves. Men who were once officers in the oar's army and later in Wrangel's forces still go about with their epaulets on shoulders. Often one has a wicked-looking Russian officer's dagger at his side. It would seem that with this great influx of one-time soldiers of adventure, made desperate by want, there would be a great Increase of petty crimes. But the 2,500 Turkish police have held crime In check. For a considerable period the French authorities undertook to feed the 100,- 000 Russian refugees, the only stipulation being that they should Seek work to make themselves self-supporting. Bat work was the very thing that the great majority of them did not want. They seemed to think the allies were under some sort of obligation to maintain them in Idleness. The result was that the French felt compelled to withdraw all assistance and allow them to shift for themselves.--Milton Bronner, in Chicago Post. •'}><, f XMftviBak Piefeefe TlntW Discovery Is an ezoeBaat family icine.

DONT TAKE JOB SERIOUSLY Postmasters Refuse to Answer Department Correspondence and Threaten to Quit When Called to Task by Officials. Washington.--Some of the trials of the Post Office department with many of the fourth class postmasters of the country, who refuse to answer official correspondence, and who otherwise conduct themselves in a perhaps too high-handed fashion, are revealed by W. Irving Glover, third assistant postmaster general. Those fourth dass postmasters, It appears, have been In part responsible for the delay In adjusting the 50,000 claims for lost and damaged parcels. But more than that, they continually act as if they didn't care a rap whether they held their jobs or not Care Little About Jobs. The trouble Is that they really do not. Glover intimated, and they often tell the department officials as much in just about that many words. They are under civil service, and often they are the only men In their towns who will and can act as postmasters. Most often they run smell stores, and If the department In Washington gets "all het up" over their failure to answer correspondence, the postmasters threaten to give op the post office work. That threat usually "works," for it is better to have some sort of post office than none at all. "Why, some of them pay no attention to us at all," said Glover, with a smile of despair. "One of them recently was asked to fill out a questionnaire showing reasons as to this and that in connection with a lost parcel. M4Hell, no; hell, yes; bell, no; hell, yea,' was the way be sent the questionnaire back to us," continued Glover, with some feeling. "Then, he continued, *tf you don't like it, take your ------ post office out of my store.' "This Is a sample of the thing we have to put up with," continued the --e--; . third assistant postmaster general. "One postmaster actually tore out the partitions used to mark off the post office from the rest of his store snd threw them out Into the street, together with all the postal apparatus. "When the mails arrived the men on the train saw that they could not deliver the letters and other matter to an office out In the street, so refused to let the mall off. Word was sent to headquarters afld inspectors sent down at once. "Do you- have to pat np wlth jfeat sort of thing?" Glover was asked. Many Requests Unanswered. "There Is not much else we can do, sometimes," he said. "Often it becomes a case of having a postmaster like that or none at all. Often they pay no attention whatever to letters asking for information, and some of them even refuse to send back to mercantile houses packages refused by customers In thetr villages. "For Instance, a man asks for sarx pies of suitings from some big meiS cantile hous$, that Is, perhaps, not as strict in its business ethics as some of the houses. "A sample of a blue doth, and h sample of a brown cloth are sent him, from which he selects the blue, an<l orders a suit of that color. But the clothing house sends him salts made from both colored cloths. "The customer accepts the blue suit, but refuses the brown one: And the postmaster does not take the trouble either to notify the mercantile house or send the suit back. Then when the bouse kicks, and begins to flood the customer with letters asking for a remittance for the brown suit, too, the customer tears up the letters and the postmaster pays no attention to letters to him." Glover said that the department had been able to clear up the 50,000 delayed cases partly because It had waived the old rule* requiring many affidavits as to the. cost of articles hiieged to be lost. ^" ' • : -- r . premise of fair weather as i sky oh a cloudy day. patch |Of blue ' f GIVES UGHT ON POISON « French Courts May Reverse Decision of 43 Years Ago! ; Chemist Convicted of Murdering Wife by Administering Arsenic Asks for Rehearing of Cass. Paris.--Modern scientific research with regard to arsenical poison may cause the French courts to reverse a life sentence passed 43 years ago on a chemist named Danval, who was found guilty of having murdered his wife. Danval, Vfho, owing to a press agitation, was released 19 years ago, has now filed a petition asking for permission to bring his case before the supreme court of appeal. The Danval case was one of the most famous poison trials In the annals of French criminal law. In 1877 M. Danval was a prosperous chemist with an establishment In the Rue Mauberg. Accused of having poisoned his wife, he was brought to trial before the Seine assize court, and on May 10, 1878, condemned to deportation for life. Famous experts appeared both for the prosecution and the defense, And the whole of medical jurisprudence concerning the qualities of arsenic, as they were then known, was argued before the court for many days. The government experts found traces of arsenic in Mme. Danval's body which would amount to one milligram (.01540 grain). This, it was argued, proved that arsenic had been admins Istered with criminal Intent. A toxU cologist for the defense, however, maintained that one milligram was a perfectly normal amount of arsenic to find in the human body. It was pointed out that the green curtains surrounding Mme. Danval's bed had been colored with an arsenical dye and contained an ounce of pure arsenic M. Danval was sent to the penal settlement of New Caledonia. He was living there, comparatively free, with his family, when, In 1902, the order came for his release. The French government toxlcologlst has just issued a new textbook for consultation at criminal trials In which it Is declared that the presence of so small a quantity as one milligram of arsenic In the human body Is negligible and ought not to be taken as incrlmluating evidence in a charge of murder. It Is on this new ruling that M. Danval appeals. ' ' "'i'.n. ' 1 ([ftjSK*'1#"' SLOW DEATH Aches, pfins, nervousness, colty in urinating, often mesa serious disorders.

Mere a Display of Good Horseanaiw ship and Skillful Feints Than Cruel Sport as in Spain, Lisbon.--Sailors of the American warships who were entertained in this city when the American- squadron visited Portugal the other day, saw a Portuguese bullfight and lustily cheered for one of the bulls. A Portuguese bullfight is more a display of splendid horsemanship and skillful feints than a cruel "port, such as the Spanish bullfight. There Is no bloodshed. The bulls are merely, teased by the bullfighters and others, who pierce their hides with their tormen ting darts. The horns of the bulls are covered with leather balls, so that they cad do no great damage and the proof of the skill of the horseman 1s never to *t his botes get touchei by them. After that a group' of peasants wearing green-and-red caps advance Into the ring and each tries to throw himself ou the bull, either between his horns or on his neck, and to cling there despite the frantic attempts of the animal. If one succeeds Ip clinging on, the other peasants rush up and hang onto the bull until he is reduced to Impotence. The American boys cheered all «*«ff with 4}*eat enthusiasm, but the real outbreak came when one bull leaped after one of his tormentors over a wooden partition and into a group of bullfighters, scattering them right ami left. Roars of laughter filled the enor mous circus and a thundering cheen and cries of "bull, bull, bull" burst from the throats of the Americans. The bullfighters fled In disorder while the amphitheater resounded with the laughter and cheers at the Americans.

Austin, Tex.--For the last, three years Dr. T. R. Garth, professor' of psychology of the University of Texas, has been making tests of the mental capacity of the Indian, the negro and the Caucasian. These investigations have brought to light the fact, he says, that the American Indian has as alert a mind as white people. He recently spent some time among the Indians of New Mexico and Oklahoma, carrying on bis testa. In Oklahoma, Doctor Garth visited the Chilocco Indian Training school, which is supported by the government, and which offers Instruction to Indian children through the tenth grade. He also visited an Indian school In Aibuquerque, N. M., which has Indian students from both New Mexico and ^Arizona. "In all I tested sbout 1,000 Indians, Something over half of whom w*e full-blood, the rest ranging from oneeighth ro fifteen-sixteenths Indian," he said. "Some of the Indians are very promising and have great possibilities. Heretofore the average of the Indian for intelligence rating has been below that of the white But the Indian excels both the white and negro in mental fatigue. Chat Is, ability to coutinue longer at any given mental process." In the color preference test which Doctor Garth conducted, out of a group of 100 Indian students, 38 preferred red first, 22 preferred blue first, while green, orange, yellow, purple and white occupied middle or end positions in the scale of preference. "I have tried this color test among college students, ' said Doctor Garth, "and blue Is the color preferred first. Psychologists consider the selection of •- . . ' J-v ft • • blue as a sign of Intelligence. When I tried the riddle test, I thought surely the Indians would find a stumbling block, but they answered readily, and after the test was over one of the Indian glris came up to a*k me a riddle." Out of the general mental tests which Doctor Garth has conducted has ffrnu'n the problem of studying the psychology of Indian personality, according to which certain traits of character found in the Indian are compared with the same traits found in the whites. In the mental tests which he conducted on the recent trip, Doctor Garth used the form issued by the National Research council which Is very much interested In this work. The American Association of Science also has assigned to Doctor Garth a research fund and«glven other aid a* evidence of Interest In the work.
