PEKING. Sept. 4—In and around
the coast provinces of China, the sup
pression of opium traffic by the Chin
ese government offlcals has been ef
fected so throughly that the opium
dealers are flocking in increasing
numbers under the protection of the
I'oreign settlement in Shanghai, but
even there the dealers are finding
their activities restricted. The mis
sionary element and other reformers
have hit upon rather novel campaign
for suppression by lottery. The tax
payers in Shanghai voted in favor of
the scheme, and a lottery or drawing
was recently held for the purpose of
selecting out of the 58rt opium dealers
in the territory 145 who should give
up the opium business.

LONDON, Sept. 4—The Dean of
Durham does not believe that the war
will result In general disarmament and
universal peace "when the war drums
throb no longer and the battle flags
are furled.” In an address at West
Martlepool he predicted that In Eng
land the certain consequence of the
war would be "the universal obliga
tion to military service” on the Swiss
model.
"Never again,” he said, "can we
run the risk of having the whole for
tunes of our land and empire left to
voluntary effort, however widely dis
tributed and magnificently rendered.”
