• WAR RAVAGED
LANDS MUST BE
RECONSTRUCTED
*
BUDAPEST, Aug. 13 (by Associated
Press).—John R. Mott, general secre
tary of the International Y. M. C. A.,
in outlining the organization’s plans
for helping to reconstruct war-ravaged
t lands says "there are too many holi
days in Europe.”
Poland, according to Mott, has 90
holidays a year, besides Sundays, and
Rumania has probably twice that num
ber. “This idleness is leading to politi
cal upheavals,” declared the Ameri
can.
In giving the first details of the Y.
M. C. A. and World’s Student .Chris
tian Federation’s proposed new efforts
to help brokendown Europe Dr. Mott
“It isn’t by giving bread but
work that reconstruction will be pos
sible. One of the tasks on which I am
mow engaged is to attempt to devise
the wisest way to help the schools
and universities of Europe from the
decadence into which they were
plunged by the war. Otherwise edu
cation will be lost through the pover
ty of professors, and also through the
^lack of students.
“The keynote ot my taiKs in roiana,
Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary has
been self-help. The students must
learn to work their way through col
leges as is the case in the United
^States. From the Y. M. C. A. point
of view we are establishing model
branches as we hope to show the new
nations their way back to work and
to self-help.
“It is not by saying ‘Thou shalt not’
that the world can be bettered; it is
by showing the way. The Y. M. C. A.
will help men to spend their idleness
profitably. It will adapt itself to these
nations and give them something per
manent. There will be model Y. M.
C. A.’s for universities, for railways,
for industrial centers, and also in the
♦-country for the peasants. It is easier
to .get mony than to spend wisely so
we will go slowly on that score. We
are getting ready to enter Russia, too.
Americans are profoundly anxious to
help there.
“I have been in Europe among
prisoners, otherwise than during the
war,1fnd for 30 years have been work
ing in foreign countries. I believe the
Russian question, owing to the desire
of the people there to end their
troubles, will be settled if foreign
countries can unite for six months on
the same policy.”

TRADE TO ORIENT
IS SLOWING DOWN
TOKIO, Aug. 13 (by Associated
Press).—The trade between this coun
try and the United States is gradually
becoming dull, due to the financial
panic which makes cargo movements
inactive. Japanese ships plying be
tween Japanese and American ports
are carrying very limited cargoes on
both inward and outward trips, es
pecially on the former.
On the outward trips the situation
has improved slightly, owing to the
increase in the exportation of miscel
laneous goods. The dull shipments on
the homeward voyage is mainly due
to the cancellation of orders previous
ly contracted for by Japanese import
ers who had^to resort to cancellation
because of the financial depression
and the money tight situation.
OIL PIPE LINES
ARE COMMON
CARRIERS Li
—
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Oil pipe lines in Louis
iana today became common carriers
under provisions of a law enacted by
the recent general assembly. The
lines now come under the supervision
and regulation of the state railroad
commission.
The bill as passed concluded a fight;
of long standing between the Standard
Oil Company of Louisiana and the In
dependent Oil Producers of North
Louisana. The independents claimed
that the nature of the business con
ducted by the Standard proved the
corporation lines to be common car
riers, while the Standard contended
its lines were private property.
The term “common carriers” as de
fined in the law includes persons,
firms or corporations engaged in the
transportation of crude petroleum for
hire or which may be legally held to
be such from the nature of their bus
iness. It is provided that there shall
be no discrimination against the own
ers or shippers of oil.

DESERTED CAMP
DUSTY PIANO
BRIDGESPORT, Cal., Aug. 13 (by
Associated Press).—Visitors to the
now deserted mining camp of Lundy,
once a populace community of Mono
county, were surprised to find a square
piano in one of the old buildings.
Buried in dust and its voice silent
for a score of years, the instrument
proved to be in good condition and
in fair tune and members of the party
produced upon it airs it had never be
fore known in the days when it af
forded entertainment for a lively min
ing camp.
Old timers here associate the for
gotten piano with a romance and a
tragedy.
As the story goes, a young girl,
talented in music, came from an east
ern state to visit Lundy, and the en
tire camp was attracted by the won
derful tones which she produced upon
the old dusty piano, the only instru
ment for 200 miles around in that
desolate country. Among others came
a gambler of the facinating type, a
dandy of early California days. Im
mediately he laid siege to the girl’s
affections and soon carried her away
to San Francisco as his bride.
Only a few months later the word
came back from Lundy that the girl of
the piano was dead—murdered; and
that her gambler husband was gone
and with him a small fortune belong
ing to his wife.
Thereafter the piano fell into disuse
and when the people of Lundy, one
after another departed to other places
it was left behind to accumulate dust.
ARREST PIRATE BAND
OPERATING NEAR KOBE
KOBE, Japan, Aug. 13 (by Associat

of raw cotton and chartered by Nick
el and Lyons, Ltd., of Kobe, caused
