'LEFT WING OF
SOCIALISTS TO
HOLD CONFAB
LONDON, July 23 (by Associated
Press).—An attempt will be made to
#form a “left wing” Socialist and In
dustrial organization. Socialist bod
ies of the extreme left have been
r
holding “unity conferences” inter
mittently for several months with that
end in view.
The invitations to the convention
point out that three points are con
sidered cardinal by the promoters, the
dictatorship of the proletariat, the
soviet system, and adhesion to the
third internationale.
The direct promoters of the con
vention are the British Socialist party,
the anti-war majority section of which
jtwas once the Socialist Democratic
party; the Workers’ Socialist Federa
tion, composed of Miss Sylvia Pank
hurst’s followers; and the Communist
Unity group of the Socialist Labor
party. The Socialist Labor party has
not signified its intenion to partici
pate in the convention.
A great deal of discussion has
arisen over the attitude the powerful
IJibor party may take toward the con
vention. The British Socialist party
is affiliated with the Labor party,
but the Workers’ Socialist Federa
tion and the Communist party group
have refused to be connected with it,
and the Labor party itself so far has
made no official pronouncement con
cerning the proposed convention.
** There is a difference of opinion
among the political groups as to
whether the convention will suceed
in forming a Communist party with a
following sufficiently large to give it
any considerable influence, but it is
considered virtually certain that as a
result of the convention there will be
a big readjustment and re-grouping of |
Socialist bodies to correspond to ir- J
reconcilable differences of policy.
PRISONER FOR
' 17 YEARS SINCE
RUSS-JAP WAR
* _
TOKIO, July 23 by Associated
Press).—A letter has been received
from a man reported killed in the
Russo-Japanese war in North Man
churia by his supposed widow, who
has been married to a second hus
band for nearly ten years.
A sergeant named Jinqichi Onishi
has been missing since the battle of
Liaoyang. The authorities as well as
the family of the soldier concluded
that he had been killed in the field,
and funeral ceremonies were observed.
His “widow” subsequently married
again, two children were born by the
secofid husband. Now, nearly 17
years since the “death” of her first
husband was reported, he writes re
porting himself safe in a hospital in
Petrograd.
According to his letter, at the time
of the Russo-Japanese war, he was
taken prisoner and has ever since
been imprisoned in a dungeon, which
he was never allowed to leave until,
after 17 years confinement, he fell ill
and was removed to a hospital in Pet
rograd.

TURKS WARD
OFF ILL LUCK
WITH BEADS
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 23 by
Associated Press).—Beads are more
necessary than bread to the Levantine.
Men, women and children wear and
carry beads to ward off ill luck. Even
the horses and donkeys have strands
of beads about their necks “to baffle
the evil eyes,” and the long horns of
the work oxen are decorated with blue
and white beads to keep them from
falling prey to diseases.
In Athens, Constantinople, Tiflis,
Smyrna and other cities of the Levant
men of all classes carry short strands
of fidget beads which they play with
while walking in the street, riding in
street cars and trains, just as nervous
men in the west finger their watch
chains. Bead shops abound every
where in the larger cities and general
stores and market stalls sell them in
the smaller places. Peddlers hawk
them in the streets everywhere.
Light colored amber beads of large
size are the latest thing in beads for
women. Meerschaum beads are also
popular and for the moment plain
beads of all sorts have displaced high
ly ornate carved beads of the type
)which Syrians produce in great quan
tities for exportation.
MOST TALKED OF GIRL
IN ALL AUSTRALIA
MELBOURNE, Australia, July 23
(by Associated Press).—Miss Gertrude
Courtney Dix is the most talked of
young woman in Melbourne. She
danced eight times here with the

the first federal government house
ball, soon after the Prince reached
Melbourne, he selected her as a danc
ing partner, unaided and without intro
duction. Miss Dix is the daughter of
a public accountant. She “came out’’
two years ago.
