LIVES IN EASE
AND LUXURY ON
SPOILS OF WAR
GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 2 (by
Associated Press).—In one of the
most luxurious hotels in Lausanne is
new living the Turkish multi-million
aire named General Ahmed Djemal
Pasha, former Turkish minister un
der the Young Turk regime at Con
stantinople and former commander of
the fourth Turkish army in Syria.
He is the first upon the black list
of the Arabian government for extra
dition and punishment, being accused
of the deaths of 7,000 Arabian, Syr
ian and Armenian famlies, says the
Tribune, de Geneve, of whom it is al
leged he has ordered to be massacred
or deported into the desert where they
died of hunger and thirst during the
war. He has been sentenced to death
after a hearing in Turkey.
Djmeal Pasha, who called himself
the “Hero of Hislam” admits accord
ing to the newspaper, that he was
“only directly responsible for about
200 deaths of heretics.” By tyranny,
it is charged, he obtained his vast
wealth in Turkish gold always refus
ing bank notes. Once a week his wife
or one of the members of his family
travelled to Constantinople from his
headquarter’s in Syria under military
escort with small boxes of gold which
were forwarded subsequently to Hal
land and Switzerland.
It was Djemal and Djavid Pasha
who were at Paris in July, 1914, and,
foreseeing the war, bought the Ger
man warships. Goeben and Breslau,
for their government by orders from
Constantinople.
Djemal, who has only a temporary
permission to sojourn in Switzerland,
was requested by the Swiss govern
ment to leave this country, but he
managed to procure a medical certi
ficate that travelling would be pre
judicial to his health and remains at
Lausanne.
The Tribune demands his expul
sion from Switzerland with several of
his satellites. Djmeal, however, can
not return to Turkey, as the death
sentence awaits him there.
This Djemal Pasha should not be
mistaken for another Turkish leader
of the same name and title who re
cently was appointed a minister of the
new Turkish cabinet.
DE MULE’S GREAT PLAY
‘FOR BETTER FOR WORSE’
ON THE SCREEN TONIGHT
Those who have seen the DeMille
production “For Better for Worse,”
say it is the strongest piece of work
to date contributed by this master of
the screen. As a man who has the
keenest perception of life’s greatest
problems, he knows how to transfer
a story to the screen in such a way
as to make it tug at the hearts and
emotions of all who see it.
“For Better for Worse” is not only
a powerful drama in theme and story,
but also a production of extreme artis
tic beauty.
In presenting this play, Mr. DeMille
chose practically the same cast that
appeared in one of his former pictures,
“Old Wives for New” Gloria Swanson
and Elliott Dexter head the list, with
such excellent support as Sylvia Ash
ton, Wanda Hawley, Theodore Rob
erts, Tom Forman and Jack Holt—all
household names among picture fans.
The play discusses the most vital mod
ern problems now engaging public at
tention, and these are handled with
the delicacy, finesse and art which
have made DeMille one of the few
truly great directors of today.
This is more than a light comedy,
a melodrama, or a tragedy—it’s a story
of human life—the life of today.
“For Better for Worse” will be
shown tonight and tomorrow night at
the Empress.

IMMIGRATION
NOW ONE-THIRD
PRE-WAR TIME
NEW YORK, August 2 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Though the tide of im
migration has begun to flow again
into the United States from Europe so
that incoming ships have their lower
decks crowded with homeseekers from
other lands, there is little prospect
that relief is in sight for the Ameri
can housewife who has been promis
ing herself a cook or maid-of-all
service to be recruited from the new
comers. At least that is the opinion
of Superintendent P. A. Baker of the
United States Immigration Station on
Ellis Island.
“Immigration has been increasing
by leaps and bounds,” Mr; Baker said,
“and it is a hopeful sign that the
aliens arriving in this port during the
last few weeks have exceeded the
number going back to their native
lands by many thousands. Last week
six times as rnamy came in as qual
ified to leave the country.
“People who think the servant gril
problem is going to be solved are go
ing to be disappointed if they are de
pending on the women immigrants
from Ireland and the Scandinavian
countries. Plenty of these are arriv
ing on every boat, but they turn up
their noses at the though of menial
labor. They have their minds set on
getting work in the better factories,
principally those manufacturing lux
uries such as candy and women’s
finery. They want to get into places
where employes are well treated and
into localities where housing facilities
are best so that they can live on the
scale justified by the high wages paid
them. If the employers want to at
tract these classes of women immi
grants they had better look to the rep
utations of their factories for pleasant
-working conditions.”
ivxr. waiter scouted tne idea tnat pro
hibition was the one reason why im
migration was not gainly more rapid
ly. He said the foreigners were com
ing in at about one-third the rate of
the year immediately preceeding the
European war. The principal reason
why more were not coming was that
the men are urgently needed in their
own countries, some of which, notably
Poland, are supporting huge armies
which use of a large part of their man
power, with the result that those who
are free to do civilian work command
wages comparable to those paid in
this country.
The present wave of immigration
originates in about the same countries
as before the war, with the exception
of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Italy furnishes by far the greatest
number. These are largely unskilled
laborers who find their way into the
big cities all over the country where
they can go into the big industries
and the mines.
Only in the case of one country is
the outgoing population greater than
that coming in. This is Poland whose
nationals besiege the Polish consulate
daily in great numbers seeking pass
ports. About 8,000 of these passports
were issued last month and nearly as
many in each of the months proceed
ing since the first of the year. They
are going back, it is generally be
lieved, because of homesickness and
an anxiety over the welfare of rela
tives in the war zones.
CHINESE BANISHING
DISREPUTABLE HOUSES
SHANGHAI, Aug. 2 (by Associated
Press).—Under a systematized plan
of licensing by which the number of
permits issued will be decreased year
ly, it is intended within five years to
banish disreputable houses from the
international settlement of Shanghai.
This recommendation was suggested
by a vice commission which conducted
an investigation through last year and
has been adopted by the taxpayers.
