Dixon, Jr., did not trust to his skill
alone. He. enlisted the services In
] collaboration of Channlng Bollock,
who for several years has been recog-
nized as one of the best stage adapt-
ers of novels In the United States.
When "The Pitt" was the most popu-
lar book in the country and people
talked of the possibility of Its ap-
pearance on the stage, (he wise critics
said a dramatization of the work was
absolutely Impossible. Mr. Bollock
performed the Impossible, presenting
the stage with a play which maintain-
ed the position on the top wave of
public favor for several years. He
executed the same feat In the case
of “The Secret Orchard" and several
other novels which experts had con-
demned as unfit for stage purposes.
Mr. lMxon, In conjunction with Mr.
Pollock, has evolved a play from "The
Traitor” which will come as a most
surprising revelation to the people
who have read the book. M. Pollock
himself claims It Is superior to any of
his previous achievements. Already

Washington, Jan. 14.--Thirty-seven
years of brave and efficient service In
the uniform of Uncle Sam brought ita
reward to Colonel George T. Torney,
when he was today elevated to the
rank of Surgeon General of the United
States army. Surgeon General Tor
ney succeeds Robert M. O'Reilly, who
retired today.
The new surgeon general has been
stationed at the Presidio, near San-
Franoisco, for the last five years, and
was in charge of the general hospital
at that post. He was one of the best
known and most popular officers on
the Pacific Coast.
He'is justly entitled to the honor
conferred upon him. During the great
calamity that befell San Francisco in
April, l#o«. he was one of the first to
rise to the emergency of the situation.
He threw the hospital open to the suf-
fering people, and at the same time
had tents erected all over the grounds
In front of the hospital. Night and
day Colonel Torney and the surgeons
under his command labored to relieve
the suffererR.
