commission. The door which had so
long been kept closed by the Turks
when they desired, to the detriment of
commerce, was to be flung wide opa
to pernv.t the passage of ships of trade

this has already been accomplished In
a measure is shown forcibly by recent

OX ROAD TO GOLDEN FLEECE.
For thousands of years history and
tradition have been busv about thic
chain of waters, from the mouth of the
Dardanelles at the tip of the Gallinoli
peninsula to the point nearly 200
miles 10 the northeastward where the
narrower Bosphorus sucks its mighty
stream from the Black Sea. Tradition
has it that Jason and his fellow
gamus and Rome. It was one of th
tnest of ancient cities in its prime itul
its gold coins were the standard of
their day as the florins of Florence oe
came the standard in Renaissance
times But when Byzantium, thanks
largely to its incomparable location on
the Bosphorus, rose to power, the
glories of Cyzicus faded. Today prac
tically nothing is left of the once
great city.' Its buildings were not left
to fall; they were torn down hv x-r.

the latest and still flourishing mec-r-pohs
of the Straits.
"Though it is both narrower and
shorter than the' Dardanelles, the Bos
phorus, third link in this chain of
toric waters, is perhaps most impor
tant; for it is the immediate gate" to

To command this Strait is to command
one of the great trade routes of th
world, a fact which has been written
aeeply into history from the days vt
the early Greeks to those of the wan

a third of a mile to two miles. Darius,

Her true name appears to have been ! most constant flow of information about

one by which she was much better
and ratntr more notoriously known
was Mile. Mata-Hari, the title which
she took when she made her vows as a

temple of Burma at a time when mix

the West was as foreign to her thoughts
as the Vijorld War was to the minds of
the majority of people. But Mata

took up the trail where the British had

"Typical of the ancient Marmora

she spent within the walls of the nun
nery, Mata-Hari perfected herself in the
weird, barbaric measures in which the
natives wooed the beneficence of their !
deities.
But the world stretched forth its first
tenacle in the shape of a young and
personable army officer who attended
one of the Buddhist festivals and with
whom Mata-Hari fell in love at sight.
Less than a week later she escaped
from the sanctuary and fled with her
lover to Paris, where they were mar
ried and lived for several years. It
was not long, however, before the
French capital began to hear rumors of
a beautiful and extremely graceful dan
cer who had brought with her all the
einuous sensuous movements of the
East, presenting these before private
audiences at special afternoon functions.
Society, ever watching for something
novel, enthused over this new sensation
and her fame spread to other parts of
tne continent, ionaon, Madrid, Home,
Lisbon, Berlin and Vienna all put in
bidij for her services and Mata-Hari
found it hard to meet all the calls for
her art. Apparently, she divided her
time equally among the different cap
itals, but those who followed her career
closely recalled that she made a point
of being in Berlin and Vienna at cer
tain stated periods of the year the time
when the agents of the Wilhelmstrasse,
the dreaded German Secret Service,
were gathered together for their confer
ences behind locked doors.
However, no s-uspicion attached itself
to the beautiful Japanese until some
time after the outbreak of the war.
She came and went, unhindered by any
thought of treachery, and during ihe
first two years of the hostilities she flit
ted through England, Holland, Spain
and Portugal, undoubtedly in constant
communication with Berlin but unsus-
duced pay. No more than $1.50 hence-! pected by the authorities. How much
and French censors, hoW she received
the money which enabled her to live
in almost regal splendor and the way
in which she had secured admittance
to the charmed circle of the Wilhelm
strasse are only a few of the mysteries
which surround this remarkable woman
mysteries which .she took with her
when, on the morning of October 15.
she faced the rifles of the firing squad
in the court-yard of the Palace of Vincennes.

STEERE RETURNS
TO HEAD SCOUTS
James E. Steere, former Boy Scout
executive here who was elected again to
that position by the Boy Scout council
Friday night, began his duties Saturday
morning. John B. Floyd, who recent
ly resigned as scout executive to take
charge of the Topeka, Kansas. Boy
Scouts, took the new executive over the
details of the work during the morn
ing. Mr. Steere has been for the last year
deputy national field executive for four
southern states. He has just returned
from a four week's vacation. The
council considers itself fortunate to
secure the services of Mr. Steere. as he
is thoroughly familiar with all Boy
Scout work. He accepted the proposal
from the local council because he desir
ed to settle down in one place instead
of traveling about, he declared. Mr.
Steere has had training in scout work

I Mr. Floyd's resignation was. officially
accepted by the council Friday night.
He had been with the local organization
about a year and a half, coming here
from Louisville, Ky., in April, 1920. The
organization hos progressed as if by
magie under his direction and energetic
work, and the council feel that they are
losing a valuable man. Resolutions of

but the fact that she spent huge sums

considered her well worth her hire.
