DRUG SMUGGLING IN
BURMA HAS BECOME ART
Rangoon, Burma, Aug. 29. The
drug smugglers of India and Burma,
through long years of experience,
have developed a finished system of
operations which has little resemblance
to the more or less crude and hit or
methods fit rum runners in the Unit
ed States.
The men who finance the smuggling
of drugs, says R. K. Anderson, sup
erintendent of the Burmese Excise
deuartment, are to all appearances
respectable, well-to-do merchants, with
flourishing businesses m piece goods,
rice or timber which hide their real
occupations as traffickers in opium,
cocaine, morphine and hemp drugs.
These men do not handle the drugs,
but leave the details to hosts of under
lings. If an underling is arrested, fined
and sent to jail, his principal pays hi3
fine, gives him his salary, and sup
ports hisfamily while he is in prison.
"That a certain man is a smuggler
is' Well known to the authorities," re
ports Mr. Anderson, "In fact the sus
pect will cheerfully' admit it. He knows
that he cannot be touched unless the
contraband is found in his possession."
The chief source of protection to
smugglers is the accessibility to brib
ery of those who are charged with the
duty of preventing smuggling. They
can make more money by failing to
suppress smuggling than by suppress

Constantinople, Sept. 20. Informed
tion that Mustapha Kemal Pasha is
preparing to w launch an attack for
the possession cf- the Dardanelles in
spite of the extrations of General
Pell, French high commissioner, a
causing undisguised anxiety in allied,
circles.
It is not improbable that such an
attack will be made before the end
of the present week, it is stated, the
Turks taking advantage of the fact
that the British have not yet concen
trated all their forces. The British
are declared to be. ready to hoH the
straits, regardless of the strength of
the Turks.
One of the best evidences of "thy
British determination - to resi.se thv
Turks is the fact that many British
citizens, including the families or of
ficers, are leaving Constantinople.
It is understood here that I lu
French cabinet warned the Angorn
government of the inadvisabipfy of
an assault on the netral zone, but the
nationalists replied that the proposed
attack is in the nature of a defensive
and rotective movement in view
Great Britain's preparations to de
fend the straits.
The . Kemalists are in dangerous
proximity to the. neutral zone and
a forward movement on their part

iCKORY SHOPMEN
ARE YET OUTSIDE
At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon none
of the Carolina and Northwestern
shopmen who were called out on
strike July 1 by the Spencer union,
had returned to their jobs, despite the
fact that majority of the bpencer
men themselves are at wcrk again.
A conference was held this morning
between - the superintendent of the
shops and the old men, but nothing
was accomplished. The men were toid
that the shops could use about seven.
of the strikers, but that the other
places had been filled and unless a
new situation arouse tnere wouia ce
no other vacancies. , Mr. Plank said
the new men who are making good
have no desire, to quit and the rail
road officials have promised to treat
them fairly.
The Hickory Kiwanis ' club 'last
night endorsed the' proposed plan to
replace the old trees in Union square
plant new grass and set. out shrub
bery in the grounds. City council is in
terested in the project, whieh is to be
one of the first steps in a concerted
effort to make Hickory more beauti
