ALIEN EXODUS
IS WIDESPREAD
SAYS LABOR MEN
Many Foreign Born Return to
'Native Lands Freed From
Hun Rule by Victory of
Allies.
Washington, May 16. A wide
ipread exodus of aliens from this
country was reported today by the
Department of Labor. Inquiries by
the department's investigation and
inspection service have revealed that
already large numbers of foreign
born residents are leaving the coun
try, and that even more expect to
depart when steamship accommoda
tions and passports can be obtained.
Unemployment and' family inter
ests were said to be important fac
tors in stimulating the eastward now
of the human tide which for decades
has set only westward. Ethelbert
Stewart, director of the investigation
- service, said many aliens reported
they had not heard from their famil
. !ies since Europe was thrown into
'war and that they were going over-
;seas to make a personal investiga
' tion.
- Help Settle Estates.
Another cause of the immigration
is the desire of some aliens tc par
ticipate in the settlement of estates
of relatives killed in the war. There
also is the desire of many foreign
born to return to lands freed from
German or Austrian domination.
Figures from many cities show
rthat fully 50 per cent of the alies of
certain races intend to return to
. Europe, many of them to remain
;there.
: An investigation by a steel plant
showed that 61 per cent of its alien
employes declared their intention to
v return, and of this number 91 per
.cent said they were going to stay.
. ?' A prominent Hungarian of Chi
i cago estimated that SO per cent of
, be 30,000 unnaturalized Austro-
.Hungarians in that city would re
i turn to Europe.
Among Lithuanians there is a
'strong feeling that if Lithuania be
comes independent there will be a
; large movement back to that coun
try. "Commercial Cable
; Company Sued Under
Income Tax Statute
New York, May 16. An income
tax and penalty suit against the
Commercial Cable company was
brought by the government today in
the federal court here.
The complaint, filed by United
States District Attorney Caffey and
containing seven counts, alleges that
the returns made by the company
between December 31, - 1909, and
Tuly 1, 1916, were "incorrect; mis
leading and false, and failed to set
forth and show the true net taxable
income within the meaning and in
tent of the income tax law."
The internal revenue collector has
demanded: payment of back taxes
due, the complaint sets forth, but the
company, bas refused to pay. The
government asks the court to award
interest of 1 per cent a month on the
mount of the taxes alleged to be
unpaid.
The true income of the defendant
from 1909 to 1915, inclusive, aggre
gated about $5,211,000, the complaint
states, and the taxes due the gov
ernment total $54,654.

"TTTTC "RF.D ttT.OVr?" Caught In The Trap
Fleeing from the cabin of the old
Mexican woman, Tia Juana, with
the whole band of Vultures hard at
her heels, Billie comes upon Kern
Thode, her sweetheart, who has es
caped from the Hidden valley,
where he has been held prisoner by
the same outlaw gang.
Thode is afoot, and there is no
hope of outdistancing the Vultures
on their fleet-footed horses. The
ruffians, urged on by their leader,
who hopes to gain the great reward
offered by Starr Wiley for the re
covery of the Red Glove, urges them
on.
Billie has the Red Glove, which
she found in Tia Juana's cabin, safe
ly tucked in her waist. Within it
is the secret of the Pool of Lost
Souls, that hidden lake, subject of
Indian superstition, which both
Thode and Starr Wiley, his business
rival as well as his rival in love, be
lieve is the source of all the oil sup
ply of that part of the costal region
of Mexico.
Thode and Wiley, representing
rival oil companies, had each moved
heaven and earth to gain the Red
Glove and its secret, but Thode had
fought fairly, while Wiley had not
hesitated to call on the relentless
and cruel Vultures to aid him.
Thode's honesty had won the sup
port of Billie, the frontier girl, who
had turned out to be the heiress to
the millions of Giles Murdaugh.
And now Thode and Billie cast
hurriedly about for a means of es
cape. Faintly they canhear the hoof
beats of the pursuing band. Nearby
is an oil spring, a faint trickle of
oil that bespeaks a hidden reservoir
beneath- the surface of the earth.
With sudden inspiration, Thode sees
in it his means of escape.
With powder from the cartridges
in his own belt and Billie's he con
structs a fuse leading to a pile of
gunpowder, which wilj in turn ignite
the oil. Hastily lighting the fuse, he
joins Billie and they scramble to a
rocky eminence not far away.
The Vultures are getting nearer
and nearer. They catch sight of
the man and girl awaiting them, and
swerve their horses until they must
pass right by the hidden trap. Just
as they reach it, the fuse ignites the
powder, which in turn explodes the
oil confined in the subterranean
chamber.
As Thode holds Billie tightly to
him, the band of Vultures is en
veloped in a burst of flame, spat
tering burning oil in all directions.
Is this the end of the outlaws? And
what of Starr Wiley, the evil genius
behind them?

Britain Stubbornly Refuses
Light on Kitchener Enigma
Lord Jellicoe's History of Grand Fleet Fails to Clear Up
Mystery Connected With Sinking of Cruiser Hamp
shire and Death of Former War Chief.
By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE.
Universal Service Staff Corres
pondent. London, May 16. Is somebody
besides the late Lord Kitchener re
sponsible for Lord Kitchener's
death in the icy waters north of
Scotland, where the deadly torpedo
found its mark in the cruiser Hamp
shire? That is still a vital question
in Britain today, made all the more
so by Lord Jellicoe's recent book on
the history of the grand fleet while
he was in supreme command of it.
Englishmen are constitutionally
opposed to mysteries, particularly
when they are i woven by the gov
ernment, and it happens that the
present government of Great Britain
has chosen to perpetuate the mys
tery surrounding the sinking of the
Hampshire which its predecessor
compounded. In parliament Horatio
Bottomley, who is more or less con
sidered the "wild ass of the desert"
in the commons, arose to inquire
from Bonar Law, the house leader,
when the report of the admiralty in
quiry upon the sinking of the
Hampshire would be published. It
may be by the mark to insert paren
thetically that in a recent editorial
Bottomley remarked upon the "nig
gers" Columbus encountered t when
discovering America.
"The government sees no reason,"
Mr. Law answered, "to depart from
its usual custom not to publish the
report of the inquiry held into the
loss of the Hampshire. The reports
of these courts never are published.
There are reasons for and against
publication of these reports, with
which I do not profess to be famil
iar." , '
Unquestionably the publication of
the report of the special court of in
quiry which sat upon the loss of the
Hampshire would have absorbing
interest for Britons at the present
moment when the controversy aris
ing out of Lord Jellicoe's book still
waxes hot. The enemies of the
former admiral of the fleet have
openly charged Lord Jellicoe with
full responsibility for the death of
Kitchener, declaring that Jellicoe
was criminally culpable in per
mitting the then secretary of war to
embark on the Hampshire.
It will be recalled that Kitchener
was bound on a highly important
mission to Russia, the exact nature
of which has not been unlocked
from the secret war cabinets of the
government. Russia was at the mo
ment tottering on the abyss of rev
olution, her army was demoralized
and the' support the allies expected
to receive from the great empire in
the east was not forthcoming. Lord
Kitchener was dispatched post haste
to Petrograd, presumably to stiffen
the swaying empire's morale.
He went to a naval base in the
north of Scotland to embark on a
cruiser which would convey him to
Archangel, whence he planned to
make Petrograd by rail. Lord Jel
licoe's book hints that the secretary
of war would brook no delay and
that though the weather was un
favorable and the only channel open
had not been adequately swept for
mines, the hero of Khartoum insist
ed upon sailing immediately.
Jellicoe reluctantly gave the
cruiser Hampshire sailing orders
and the German admiralty, unques
tionably acting on spies' advice, had
a submarine waiting to sink the
British cruiser.
The Hampshire went down in the
mists, and with it the man who
might have been able to rescue Rus
sia from the anarchy toward which
it is drifting who knows?
Is it true that Lord Kitchener's
own imperious "will which would
brook no delays was responsible for
his death? Did responsibility lie
with the admiral of the grand fleet
who permitted his vessel to traverse
a submarine haunted channel? Why,
even under the interpolation of so
erratic a member of the commons
as Horatio Bottomley, does the gov
ernment of Great Britain decline to
publish what it knows about the
last hours of a man whose name
was so potent to rally the sons of
the empire around the Cross of St.
George?
The Right Laxative
For The Little Ones
The natural condition of a child Is to b
happy and carefree. When the girl mopes
and Is indifferent to school and study, or the
boy is sullen and refuses to go out and play,
the child needs laxative to empty the bowels
and stir up the liver.
But something should be given that will
produce the result in as simple and nat
ural a way as possible. Harsh cathartics
and physics are neither necessary nor de
sirable. Many mothers have found that the com
btnatlon of timplejsxatlve herbs with pepsin
told by druggists under the name of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin produces a free move
ment of the bowels without griping. A very
little it required, and it is pleasant to take.
A few hours after its use the child will be its
happy self again.
It is an excellent remedy for the mother
herself, and for the other members of the
family. In obstinate or occasional consti
pation, for the relief of headaches, as an aid
in colds and fevers, minor skin eruptions and
all disorders where the basis of the trouble
is constipation.
The druggist will refund the money you
pay for Syrup Pepsin if it fails to do as
promised.
