SEE DOPE TRAFFIC
BACKED DP TO WALL
Official! Say Federal Law in Effect
Today' Will Stop Illegal
Sale.
GOVERNMENT HAS WHIP HAND
A federal law, enacted last year,
which goes Into effect today, will
effectively atop the cocaine and
opium traffic, It. was declared yes
terday afternoon at the office of the
internal revenue department in the
federal building.
So stringent is the new law that
It practically prohibits the use in any
manner whatever even by medical
men. These may use drugs In small
quantities, but only under closest
government supervision. It prac
tically covers every possible loophole
through which drug fiends have been
obtaining their coveted supplies for
the last few years, and it duplicates
nearly every strong point in the bill
now being considered by the Ne
braska legislature.
An appropriation of 1150,000 to enforce
the new drug law and a penalty of $2,0"
fin and five years In prison for anyone
violating; any of the drastic clauses la
expected to relieve every evil of drug
traffic.
Provisions of Art.
The law provldre that every person whi
dealt In, manufactures or fives away
cocaine, cocoa leaves, opium or any of
the derivative therefrom must pay a spe
cial tax; must require a special prescription-
from every customer written on
blanks supplied only by the revenue of
fice, and must account to the department
for every (rain of drug distributed In any
manner.
This Includes physli lans. dentists, sur
geons, veterinarians and druggists, and It
applies not oiUy In the I'nltcd States, but
In every land Where Old Glory Is supreme.
The Omaha police have been supplied
with' copies of the new law and nave teen
asked by tho government authorities to be
prepared to assist In stamping out the
evil.; If any violations of the ne.v "aw
are found tomorrow, arrests will follow
Immediately.
Manply Saat Off.
In no manner can th lnv-torste users
of cocaine, opium or any other similar
' drugs obtain their supplies now. When
ever a person Is. found under the Influence
of any drug, ha will be arrested and held
for government Investigation.
A federal law-passed In 1900. covering
the dope traffic, failed In Its purpose In
many respects, and while the new law
does, not repeal the old one, It covers
many points not taken up by It."
"This taw will be a great help to us,"
declared Captain of Police lleltflold last
night. "Around Christmas tlmo, for In
stance, Omaha, was full of dope-fleads
who were carrying on all kinds of petty
thievery. When w finally rounded up
every known drug-fiend and sent them
to Jail for forty-five days, we find that
the variety of crime usually laid to the
doors of the ftenda has almost entirely
(Jlstpared. i
".was dreading the day when that
forty-five-day sentence would expire, but
wltii, this new law going Into effect and
killing oft all chance for them to obtain
their drugs, I Can sae. where, U will be
only' a matter of time before, we are
through with them entirely."

not available, but reports from Athens
and other points say that twenty targe
vessels are taking part, and the report
Issued tonight by tho British Admiralty
up to Friday night mentions no less than
ten of these. Previous reports mentioned
others that were not engaged on Thurs

Admiralty statement.

At the head of the fleet is the Queen
Elizabeth, one of England's lates super
dreadnoughts, wnlfh has .been commis
sioned since the war began, and which
mounts eight flfteen-lnch guns. The
Queen Elisabeth took part In the bom
bardment, so that for the first time these
mona'er weapons had been used and, ac
cording to the Admiralty report, they did
their work "with great accuracy."
Other ships, which ssslsted In silencing
the outer forte, were the British battle
ship Agamemnon, which was struck by
a Turkish shell and had three men killed
and five wounded, the British battleships
Irresistible, Vengeance. Corn well Is, Al

four twelve-Inch guns and the Triumph,
which has four ten-Inch guns and the
French battleships Oaulols, Puffren and
Charlemagne, each of which carries four
twelve-Inch. guns.
Ready tn fwlve Aid,
Other vessels Including the French
battleship Douvct and one or two Ilrltlsh
battle cruisers, are In the vicinity, to
render assistance should It be required.
Fort Dardanus, which the ships at
tacked Friday after the entrance to the
straits had been swept of mines, Is not
far from the narrows, and It is probable
that the big, and more Important attack
has begun by this time.
Reports from neutral Halkan states say
that the residents of the islands In the
sea of Marmora have been ordered to
evacuate their homes snd that an Im
perial train Is waiting to take the Sultan
to Asia Minor.
So far as Great Britain Is concerned,
however, the most Important immediate
reault or the Initial success Is the re
duction which It has brought In the price
of wheat, which has dropped i shillings

Statement of Admiralty.
The admiralty statement follows:
"The entrance to the Dardanelles was
guarded by four principal forts, namely
Cape Helles battery Fort Kcddul Bahr.

at 10 o'clock.
"The Queen Elisabeth. Agamemnon,
Irresistible and Oaulols began by deli
berately bombarding fort A, B, C and t,
respectively, at long range.
"Fort A replied. One ahell at 11,000
yards hit the Agamemnon, killing three
and seriously wounding five. The Ir
resistible and Oaulols made excellent
practice on. forts . C and P. while the
Queen Kllsabeth concentrated with great
accuracy on fort A, putting both of Its
guns out of action by" about 11:) o'clock.
, "Ths Vengeance and Cornwallla then
ran in vnder cqver. pt ' long range fire
and engaged fort A at close range. The
reduction of fort A was completed while
forts C and t opened a very slow and
Inaccurate fire. j
"The Suffern and Charlemagne next de
livered an attack on forts C and.D ad
vancing to within 1,000 yards of them.
It waa then seen that they were In no
condition to offer an effective resistance.

unable to silence completely any of them
although the ships finally approached
within short range of the forts snd show

short Intervals before the entrance to
the straits, could plainly be seen with the
naked eye.
"The Turkish losses were remsrkably
smalt. The.-e were a doxrn dead In Redd-El-ltahr

ANOTHER DISCOVERY, . ALSO
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. Two
discoveries, both of vast Importance
to American industries and one re
garded also as a priceless military
asset, were announced today by Sec
retary Lane of the Interior repay
ment. They are chemical processes, de
veloped after years of research hy
Dr. Walter F. Rlttman, chemical
engineer of the bureau of mines. One
Is expected to enable oil refiners to
incrase thlr output ot gasoline by
200 per cent; the other makes pos
sible the production from, crude
petroleum of toluol, and benzol,
bases for dyed and high explosives,
for which In the past, the United
States and the rest of the world have
depended almost exclusively upon
Germany.
Dedicated to People.
Dr. Rlttman has npplled for patents
to prevent the possibility of any mo
nopoly in their use and Will dedicate
them to the American people.
"These processes." Said Secretary Lan
today, "are fraught with the utmost Im
portance. The Standard Oil company has
had a big advantage over the Independ
ents In production of gasoline, having
a patened process obtaining .three times
tha amount of gasoline from a given
quantity of petroleum the independents
now obtain. Independenta producers, aa
a whole, have pever been able even to
approach these results.
Now the federal government, through
tha efforts of Dr. Rlttman proposes to
make free for the uao of all, . a pro
cess confidently expected to increase
their yields of gasoline fully 300 per cent
and perhaps more.' Dr. . Rlttman claims
his process is . safer. , simpler and more
economical.. . These are economic factors
of great Importance. ;
','Wlth a ateadily Iricraasing demand tor
gasoline for automobiles, motor boat
and engines, this fortunate discovery
comes at tho proper time.. It Is but two
years ago that the automobile industry
fearful the supply of gasoline might not
be adequate for Its rapidly expanding
business, offered (100,000 prise for a sub
stitute that would cost less than gaso
line. This new process adds to the hop
that In spite of the wonderful growth in
ths use of gasoline, there may not be
any shortago In the future. I am led
to believe it will not only be of In esti
mable value to refiners commanding but
limited capital, as well aa those, of
wealth, but also to the hundreds of thou
sands of users ot cnuollne. When It
Is realized the gasoline Industry each
year'a yields 1100. 000,000 to 1130,000,000.
ths Importance of this discovery la seen.

FURTHER INTERNATI0N PEACE
NEW TORK. Feb. .-The Church
Pesc t'nion. founded a year ago by An
drew Carnegie, through Its secretary.
Rev. Frederick Lynch, made public here
today a message which the union has ad
dressed to "the churches snd clergy of
America," cautioning ministers and
churrh people agiir.s partisanship In
discussing the European war, and pro
testing against the present agitation for
Increased armaments.
This is said to be the first time In
church history that Catholics and Prot
estsnts have loined in signing a common
letter addressed to the churches. Tho
Peace union's letter Is signed by Car
dinal Gibbons of Baltimore, and Arch
bishop Glennon of Pt. Louis. The presi
dent of the union Is the Right Rev. David
II. Oreer. Protestant Episcopal bishop
of. New York, who Is one ot the signa
tories. Two Mlllloa Endowment.
At the first meeting of the Church
Peace union, on February 10, 1914. It was
announced that Mr. Carnegie had made
It an endowment of $2,000,000, Its aim
be"lng the furtherance of the cause of
International peace through the united
efforts of all religious bodies. Twenty
nine prominent clergymen and churchmen,
representing all denominations. Including
Jewish organ icatlonr, were appointed
trustees. It Is these men who have
signed the message In question. Follow
ing are some of th striking paragraphs
In th message:
Partisanship Is adding fuel to fires of
passion which alrradv are too hot. Cler
gymen should allav prejudice, not In
tensify it. (In this calamitous hour,
denunciation of either aide assumes a
superhuman knowledge of complex pol
icies and purposes, imperils the influence
of our government In promoting peace,
aggravates a quarrel which we should
help abate, creates dissensions among
our own people, infl.vmoa a war spirit in
America, and glvea force to the criticism
that th church lias abdicated its eacred
functions as the maker of peace and
concord.
Looking; for' War Spirit. ,
Ve should realiz not only that each
or the warring nations has helped to
create the conditions of which the war
Is a tragic expression, but that these con
dition characu rise Americana as well as
Kuropeane We are quite as belligerent
In temper as other men. We should con
demn the causes of war: but we should
lof.K for them not so much In state papers
as in the fers, prejudices and rivalries
which are common to men everywhere
except as they are Influenced by the
divine spirit Our own freedom from mili
tarism haa been due to protecting oceans
rather than to superior virtue. The pres
ent clamor for an armament to resist a
possible attack Is prompted, not by peril,
but by the disposition to echo on our eld
of the eea the cries which hsve been
heard In iCurope for1 years, snd It is en
gendering the same suspicions that have
wrecked tbe rc'aCroa of Germany and
Oreat Britain. Ave we to repeat the
policy which Is drtnc.hlng the continent
with blood? nils Is th time to prepare,
not for war, but for peace.

I had a place in my right side that was
ao sore that I could hardly bear the
weight of my clothes. I tried medicines
and doctors, but they did me little good,
and I never expected to get out again.
I got Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable

tainly would have been in grave or in an
asylum if your medicines had not saved
me. But now I can work all day, sleep
well at night, eat anything I want, have
no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells.
All pains, aches, fears and dreads are
gone, my hpuse, children and husband
are no longer neglected, as I am almost
entirely free of the bad symptoms I had
before taking your remedies, and all is
pleasure and happiness in my home."
