WHITE SLAVE
TRAFFIC IS
INCREASING
By David L. Itlumenfeld.
(t'idled Press Correspondent)
London. Jtitle in. The White Slave
I inI'l ic* is vt-ry lunch alive."
In iJit Mc wards'a high off'1 Uil of the
of Niuiojis White Slave Com-
nib'sim disjiHled the idea that "White
Slaving" in n tiling of .the past.
"The evil exists, today Just dm drug
evils. drink evU>, Immoral ho use evils
exist/' he explained, "under the uoses
of the iwdico and vigilant** eonimissions
of the whole world." *
The ofiieluls explained that for sev-
eral years people have allowed them-
selves ,tp he lulled a sense of ln-
•llt'fti'eut?e to tUe slave traffle. "So lonv
il« an evil does not touch" the life of
ilu e |e |ilei tliey are quite contest to
pass It by.*' lie said.
v Nererthoh'ss. he said, during the
years siUee the war, the White Slave
trjiifie. has inereased rather than ' do-
ercusediu volume.
Where does the traffic flourish?
The answer is jo he found in everv
town whieh is *ul fieientl.v large 11
limvyoung girls out Of their homes.at
night In search of innoeenl enjoyment:
lowasdotoldy in France (alleged to
be the White Slavers' paradise). hut in
Knglnml. Italy. Germany, Austria,

States.

.viueiit to South America, or Australia,
or the Yoshiwaras of Japan.
t.'irls Are Slipped

in those flower quarters of Osaka. Yo-

..India. too, has her procurers,
,?W<hite Slaving" embraces all colors in
Its tenaeles. The pretty <piadroous of-
the West Indies, the oetroons of the
Itnhamas. the dainty ' Nanteh dnncers
of India, the geisha of Japan, the Fel-
laheen. women from ancient Egypt,
even the almond eyed Chinese are flsb
for the wildte Slavers' net. •
The White Slaver has his agents
everywhere. What looks like a brok-
en down real estate office in Alexan-
dria may well cover one of his lairs,"
the actress employment bureaus in
the larger tow ns of the -Sot11h . of
FraiK-e: the Innocent looking street
eafes of Paris; the ticket offices of the
hull fighting rings of Spain —"spiders
parlors" Into which the fly Is only too
innocently willing to walk.
Wln<i are tIm method*]? TheW> an*
litany. The most ir e<| Is the forged
letter and the fake 'telegram. Mary
linued "1 have known of girls being
beaten into submission, pulled by the
hair .around rooms, kicked, bruised,
battered, by men whose morals have
long since been swamped in a morass
of brutality" * j
Eventually the. girl Kinks to vice as
a protection against cruelty, gradually
comes to look ou it as business. j
The official said that the league was
fighting the evils with all the powews
at its command,
"But our hands are tied In the east,
where the police work hand in glove
with the Wihife Slavers," he explain-
ed. *
"It's true that we are fighting the
Eastern problem as hard, ami Harder
than Hie West, but what can we do
when we find that the very men who
bring us information against tl e
agents are themselves agents, and
their information merely a colossal
bluff?
Business Methods.
WILL NAME A
FULL TICKET
"Only tlie other day, we hdd n case
where au Egyptian notified us that
there was traffic going on In Suez
which, in his opinion was detrimental
to visiting Europeans. It was not
safe{jj.he said, for travelers to leave
their women folks alone in certain i*>r-
tlo'ns of that town for fiv% minutes.
It afterwards 'transpired (hat the
quarter of the town specified was the
hunting ground of a rival of his, who
was commercially a danger to his own
business."
Vet this man. the Official explained
bad a name among the. society of
Suez for being a giver to charity.
Jn the West, the official explained,
the battle was being fought on flrmt'r

to enter a full ticket of candidates-for
all county' ami precinct offices in the

< The purpose of the meeting, as es-

the political outlook of the county, par-
ticularly from the, Republican view-
point, and the prospects ami plans of
the party. Without, further prelimiu-
aiy discussion, a motion was at once
adopted thai ,llie meeting favored the
placing in the. field of a complete
[ticket of candidates for-all county and
precinct offices. The motion was offer-
ground. The chlwf obstacles were, in , ,0,?t '
America es| eeially, 4he difficulty of «n <l«estion of whether the meet-
warnlnir vouna uirls without muMr K constituted should name a

he explained, "that many girls refuse
to relieve the stories broadcastetl by

there are wane cases w here girls have
gone out to be "picked up by a 'White

resulted in a sentiment for the appoint-

"Thousands of white girls are lw>me
away Into the bondage every year" a
high official of |he White Slave Conv
mission declared to me, -
"What they have to go through in
the performance of their wretched
lives is nothing short o£ horrible," he
added.
He gave the Foiled Press details
so revolting, so soul shattering that
to mention them in pr^nt would foe
iaipossibfe. Further, the dear good
people who sleep soft o' nights in
llrelr comfortable beda woultl refuse
to believe it.
"Nevertheless," the official empha*
sized, "these fad*, horrible, night-
marish, as they are, must be fa<*ed"
In certain enses" the official con-
iters aver, you may take "it - for
granted that the, girl in question lias
been captured by "agents.'* C ~ '
«lhe ix eitl*er iri some resort in lier
own country, un^rgolng her enforced
apprenticeship In vice, or that she
is on the high seas, in process /.of
transportation to swine foraway land.
"How often the cry of 'too late' goes
up In homes all over the world, can
be realized when It is known that over
five hundred brothels in the east are
filled with white girls,
"The official said, "Many of them
are girls who have only l>een In those
hot beds of vice since the war."
S. America Ahead.
If Is pot possible to show approxi-
mate figures, officials disclosed, as
so many dlAappetitances, although un-
ttHced to White slavers, are undoubt-
edly their work. Valparaiso and Rio
de Janeiro were, they said, favorite
shipping places for the unfortunate
ones. ■ _ ' . . .. . .
I hese two S«iuth American towns,'
the officials declared, were far ahead
Of all others In White Slave traffic.
Every son and color of women is im-
ported daily into both towns
Apparently there js little remedy.
^ Imt jurisdiction can the I^eague have
say over the doings of an agent wlio
- works, say, from Smyrna, shipping his
"goods along the Mediterranean,
,thence via Marseilles In small unsus-
jxt fed* vessels to these two towns.
There are over a hundred known
agents operating in Paris, officials
safd; a similar number In Lodnon;
'Berlin has at least two hundred agents,
while Port Said, Suez, Alexandla, and
Nn,:le - (one of the hot beds of the
trade)—count their agents by scores
in nearly every streit.
One story, told to the Cuifetl Prcs,
by a man who has lnnl intimate deftl
ings with these agents, will show how
intricate and "clever are the workings
of these agents. .,
A few ^eai-s ago a girl, the daughter
of rich, parents' revived wortl that
there was a hous«* party lieing given
by a distant relation in the. country.
She expressed curiosity nt the man-
ner in which the news had been
brought to her, but otherwise gave ft"
little thongbit. A post, card bearing
the signature of an old school friend
(of course a forgery) had merely told
her of the house party, concluding
with the words, "4I do hope we shall
be asked." "
(ilrl IHsappeaml.
A week or so after the receipt of
the post card, there came an itKfffc*
tion, couched in what appeared to be
the handwrfting of the distant rela-
tion giving the party.
The girls parents, uususiK'ctinfc,"al-
lowed their daughter to* go "t< the
house party ami saw their charge off
at the railroad depot in their auto on
the understanding that the girl wo«ld
be met at the end of lier journey, ac-
cording to the Invitation, which
ulated that "

The "Dread Overload"
The telephone exchange is a barometer most
keenly sensitive to every out-of-the-ordinary
happening in town.
A fire; a storm or flood; a break-down at the
water or light plant; an accident of general
interest; a convention; an election; a big ball
game or other event; even a circus—
Any of these or other unusual occurences,
and the telephone exchange may be suddenly
flooded with extra calls. The normal traffic load
sometimes doubles in a few minutes. Operators
and equipment, even more than ample for the
ordinary traffic, are swamped by the sudden
"overload."
When yon must wait a little longer far "Cen-
tral on such special occasions, make allowance
for the "overload."

—
Of all the blessings conferred on this part of the country,
probably natural gas is the most desirable. Its high heating
value, its wonderful convenience, its cleanliness and its econ-
omy make it worth saving.
History of natural gas shows that in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana and West Virginia, apparently inexhaustible supplies
have been wasted so that these states now see the end of their
service.
Question for You
- ^
. Shall this community go the same way and deprive itself of \
this remarkable natural advantage?
Reflection shows that these wastes touch the consumers'
pocketbooks. Somebody must pay for cach ounce. If A per-
mits waste, B must help pay for it. If C steals gas, A and B
pay for it. Eventually waste and theft must result in higher
prices for all.
Save Its Advantages
1 \ ' ' 1
Natural gas was put here for your use. . You are entitled to every
advantage that may be derived from this fuel, but you are not entitled
to take advantage of your neighbors or of the gas companies by methods
that call for a larger supply to you than you need, or that compel the
production of more gas than is burned.
