PARIS, Oct, 12— The preliminary
investigation in the case of Henri
Landru, whom the police refer to as
the Gambais Bluebeard and hold re*
sponsible for the disappearance ft H
women to whom he had promised mar
riage, has just been concluded. It has
' iasted 18 months. j
All the documents in the case,
amounting to over five thousand, have
been turned over to the Prosecutor
General of the Republic by Judge Bo*
nin, who conducted the preliminary in
vestigation. The judge immediately
eft for a delayed vacation. He was
accompanied by the good wishes of
Landm, who told the Judge that it had
been a great comfort to him to make
his acquaintance and that he hoped the i
feeling was mutual.
Landru has consistently refused to!
answer the questions of Judge Bon.n
and has made the investigation as dif
ficult as possible for the Magistrate.
It is the feeling in court house ci>
oles that the case against Landru is
veak and much doubt is being ex
pressed as to the chances of conviction
for murder against him. The 11 wo
men have simply vanished into thin
lir. The “corpus delicti" is lacking in
the case. Bones were found in the villa
occupied by Landru, at Gambais and
he prosecution will contend they are
lumuto bones but the defense will call
experts to swear they are rabbit, lamb!
and dog bones.
I
Landru is confident of acquittal
md is already considering offers from
moving picture concerns in the event
if h»a being freed.

WASHINGTON. Oct., 12— Figures
■ompiled by the census bureau and
other government departments indi
cate that the number of women in the
United States over 21 years of age is
’8,035,000 of whom approximately 26,
500.000 are eligible, to vote in the
November election. This estimate
makes a liberal allowance for alien
vomen, American women married to
iliens and others ineligible.
Exact figures are not available on
he number of women over 21 but har
med from voting through various rea
sons.
Census Bureau officials believe,
however, that this year at least 1,
100.000 of the 5,250,000 foreign-born
women in the United States will not
yet have become naturalized. In ad
dition there were in 1910, according to
the census about 60,000 Indian women
most of whom were living on reserva
tion.?, 8,607 Chinese and Japanese wo
men ineligible to vote, a comparatively
small number of American women
married to aliens and barred from
voting for that reason and a larger
number deprived of the ballot under
state statues in harmony with consti
tutional provisions. The total of these
•neligibles was estimated at about 1,
500,000. *
American women married to aliens
arc not eligible to vote, the Depart
ment of Justice has held, but foreign
born women married to American cit
izens or whose fathers have become
American citizens are entitled to the
ballot without naturalization proceed
ings.
The number of eligible male voters
in the United States this year has not
been determined. Based on an estimat
ed population of 16,000,000, however,
the census Mureau figured that there
are now 34,807,000 men in the United
States over 21 years of age of whom
probably 31,500,000 would be entitled
to vote in November.

TOKIO, Oct, 12— A belief prevail
ing in Japan that the United States
and England may join hands in re
straining Japan in her Far Eastern
policy has been the basis of much
comment in the press.
Japan’s brilliant writer, Iichiro
Tokutomi, the editor of the military
organ, the Kokumin, wrote a special
article on American-English relations
in which he called the United States
the “enfant terrible” of the world. Mr.
Tokutomi regards the prospect of co
operation between England and Am
erica with some anxiety. The world
will be obliged to agree with what
they agree, he observes, but he con
soles himself with the thought that
such cooperation is unlikely owing to
American suspicions of England and
iack of world knowledge.
After summing up his conclusions
us to the position of England as ar
biter of the world, Mr. Tokutomi says:
“But there comes England’s com
\
petitor, whom England at least in h*r
heart of hearts fears as a formidable
lower. America may be called an ex
position of the world's different races.
But the mainstay of the American
people is the Anglo-Saxons. England
and America are brother nations with
the Atlantic between them. The ‘des
tiny of the world is now' entrusted to
these brother nations.
“If they should cooperate in the
work of solving the problems of the
world, however, unreasonable the re
suit of such solutions may be, the
world will be obliged to agree,” thinks
Mr. Tokutomi. But he asks: “Is Amer
ica willing to act tne roie oi younger
brother and follow England’s lead?
Americans want to be the first in ev
erything. Will they be content to take
the second place in the solution of
world problems?” He doubts it, say
ing: “To think that America will fol
low the lead of England as a younger
brother dutifully obeying orders in the
solution of the world problems and
will be the unique supporter of Eng
land is the observation of a blin<%
man.”
Mr. Tokutomi describes the Alher
icarui in this way: “In a word the Am
erican is a rustic person who does not
laiow anything about the world. He
enjoys globe trotting and Europe is
his pleasure ground where he dumps
his money. But on all occasions he car
ries his own country in his travelling
bag. Consequently • aside from satis
ying his own desires for pleasure he
does not enlighten himself very much
by his abservations of the world.
lu short, Mr. Tokutomi observes,
the war has Americanized the world
rather than influenced America. Mr.
Wilson’s advocacy of the democrati
zation of the world was in his opinion
an illustration of how the American
tries to measure the world with the
rule he applies to his own country. The
American considers that it is his mis
sion to force Americanism upon other
nations.

COTTON GINS IDLE

RADIO OPERATORS FOR

WASHINGTON, Oct., 12—Because
of the shortage of experience radio
operators aboard the big fleet of ves

shipping board, a nation wide cam
paign to recruit the service is being
undertaken.
All shipping, board vessels as far as
possible carry two operators, and
many vessels are now handicapped in
this respect, it often proving impos

officials, this field offers splendid ad

The position pays $126 for senior op

with subsistence and quarters fur

AIR SERVICE
NEW YORK, Oct, 12— MiUUry
and civilian aeronautical experts de
clare that the completion recently of
the trip of four American army avia
tors. from New York to Nome, Alaska,
was as epochal in its military and
commercial importance as Rleriot's
first flight across the English channel
►
since it opens Alaska to aeronautics.
Reports state that the Alaskans
are determined to bring) about regular
communication through the air and
now look to the government to foster
the new project.
As the result of the flight, it is sau{
an aerial route has been photographed
and charted diagonally across the
United States, Canada and Alaska,
with tentative supply and air service
tiles
The Air Board states that the'fol
lowing has been accomplished by the
flight:
An effective aerial route to the
N'oithwest corner of the American
continent and Asia has been establish
v d. Inaccessible areas in Alaska which
liad never been maped have been
charted and photographed.
Usefulness of the airplane as a
means of transport, both for mail, pas
sengers and freight has been demon
strated. Necessity of landing fields,
and service supply stations, through
out the United States and its territor
ies has been shown.
Durability of modern airplanes and
motors Ipis been proved and it has
h& n learned that flying is safe, even
over territory where transport by rail
oad, automobile, and wagon is con
sidered extremely dangerous.
The report of Captain St Clair
Stieet, who was in command of the ex
I edition, states that the flyers con
jeered the route across the Eastern
States, as having few landing fields
and not ideal in ay instance. The
Middle West and Canada, lie said, as
far as Edmonton, was ideal. “The ex
pedition sighted innumerable glaciers'*
said Captain Street, and rain, low fog
and clouds were prevalent Yukon and
Alaska are rough and partly forested,
and afford no natural landing places
have had experience as Morse (land
wire) telegraphers, cable telegraph*
ers, oi amateur radio operators, can
qualify more quickly. There is hard
ly any other field in which the be*
ginner can qualify as quickly.
