At the same time there has been working to a culmination another evo lution in public affairs that holds almost as much signifi cance for the inhabitants of the Orient as does the up heaval of the machinery of government This late development is a crusade to free the Chinese, and. incident.tilly. other peoples of the world, from the b adage of the opium habit which lias for so many years been a drag upon their intellectual and materiaJ progress. v\'e. as Atr.eri'ans, must fofd_ rn especial rride and interest in this breaking of the ■trip of the de; dliest drug iiabit because it has been brous :t about largely through the : efforts of the United States.

T!.** fight ceaiust the opium evil, with Un ■ !e Sam as the chief aggressor. has been e-,p!e of years later that definite plans were made for an international concert of action n the matter. In that year Bishop Charles H Brent of the Philippines, who was. natur ■l-y. in a position to appreciate the havoc wrought by opium, wrote to President Roose velt appealing to him “to promote some raove mc ;t that would gather in its embrace repre f u’atives from all the countries where the ‘•jffic in and the use of opium is a matter of n iment.” Thereupon President Roosevelt i-: 1 hi* secretary of state.

In explanation of this reluctance It may be pointed out that a number of the countries, notably Great Britain, and her colonics. France. Holland and Siam, derive large revenues from the opium traffic, and in some Instances opium production is a government monopoly. Should the traffic in opium be virtually abolished, as it is likely to be In time, these various powers stand to lose revenue to the enormous aggre gate of one hundred million dollars a year. No wonder they hesitated. However, in' the end the common cause of humanity tri umphed and it was arranger! that an interna tional opium "Oinmission should be created. This commission, which took up its work at the city of Shanghai. China, early in the year 1909. discussed all phases of the moral eco lr===j:====1- ’ = J7& &ZW %»tj-!e.wvr sr X'-UJW FXVffrr 'vraSso •7T~«"bme*ib* tvatrS'’ 5e£= OS’ VSSJSSS VZZSO SA' S’.VS OS>SC*A£ 2X.j: evPz&e’’?

In other words, it was suggested that as a sequel to the earlier effort there should now be international eo-operation for the plac ing of the production and traffic in cpiura un der international law. The culmination o' tNt io**g fight is now in sight. An international conference to held recently at The Hague, the capital of ■ Netherlands, to arrange for measures that ; will put up the bars against opium and other | habit-forming drugs all over the world. Many of the men who attended the Shanghai con ference were appointed by their respective governments to represent them at The Hague, j The power and significance of the two gath erings was vastly different, however. At the Shanghai conference those in attendance : ocu'id only advise and recommend. At The Hague conferenci the delegates were empow ered by their respective governments to agree upon definite measures. After prolonged ses sions, measures were decided upon which, it is expected, will fully carry out and put into effect the objects of the conference. These measures will be reported to the various gov ernments represented, to be followed by legis lative action on the part of their law-making bodies putting into execution the regulations agreed upon. This is supposedly a m.-re^ mat ter of rouMne. as all the powers have given their promise. Fobrmost cf the regulations agreed upon are those for uniform national laws and regu lations to control the production, manufacture and distribution of opium and its derivatives. Almost as important will be the regulation by the universal postal union of the transmis- ; sion of opium through the mails. Going yet , further in the direction of complete control will be the restrictions that are to be placed upon the cultivation cf the poppy, from which opium is derived, and limiting the number of ports through which the drug may be shipped by opium-producing countries. There was adopted also uniform marks of identification for packages containing opium in interna- j tional transit. The nations that are interested in this world-wide crusade and were represented at the conference _ include the United States, China. Great Britain, France. Germany, Italy. Japan. The Netherlands. Persia. Portugal. Rus sia and Siam. Some of the other powers, notably Austria-Hungary, were not directly represented because they are not much affect ed by the opium evil, but they have given as- | surance that they will abide by the regula- j tfons which have been agreed upon by the 1 conference. When the international confer- i ence was first proposed. China showed her '• intense interest by appointing a strong dele gation including such progressive men as Dr. Yen, who was educated in American colteges and is in sympathy with American ideas and ! ideals. -- .. ... -, CALIFORNIA TREASURE STORY I_ 1 ^ The story of a wound received in the Civil war which sealed the hiding place or a fortune for more than half a century and of a strange trick of fate which cleared the hider’a memory in the evening of life was brought to Los An geles by the hfder's son. J. K. Anderson or New Orleans, who is at the Van Nuys en route to the old placer mining fields of California, says the Los Angeles Herald. Anderson's father joined in the gold rush and was one of the miners of the '49 days. He located a claim in Placer county, near Auburn and Newcastle. vVlthm a year he had snatched from the river bottoms a fortune. Then tha call of the south for volunteers reached him. He buried the gold beneath the adobe blocks of a tavern in the vicinity ot his claim, strapped all the precious substance he could carry about his body and hurried .to join the Confederate army. Anderson says that bis father was struck in an engagement with the Union troops by a bullet which tore open his scalp and robbed him of his memory for fifty years. During that time, the son says, the pare*:' was like a child with all knowledge of the hiding place of th<^ gold gone. Before he died, a year ago. his memory of the gold rush returned to him and he was living agam in the past that preceded his part in the conflict. It was durlpg these last moments that the old man toft1 his son and the mother where he had buried what he claimed was a fortune. The soil is hurrying to unearth if possible the buried treasure. Anderson said: “My father said he burled the gold under a c-irrer of an old adobe tavern patronized by miners in the early days. This tavern was la Long valley at a point halfway. I nave learned, between the present towns of Newcas tle and Auburn. I have learned through cone spondence that a family by the name of Scott occupies the tavern as a farmhouse and that the country around it Is devoted to the rais ing of citrus fruits. “No one has disturbed the original lines ot the building. The adobe blot.ks are heavy. I have obtained permission from the owners to prosecute my search and will give them a .' ... --h share of ray findings. Otherwise I would have to buy the property." Anderson Is a civil oy.g-iueer. He was en gaged ay The government for some time in work on the Panama canal, but has left his employment to search for the treasure wi
