That the "dope" scourge Is ho respecter
f genius and will lay a crippling hand on
the most brilliant of minds Is clearly Illus
trated by the case of a former magazine
writer, who less than five years ago enter
tained and delighted a large reading pub
lic with his fiction. Call him Martin Mur
dock; He graduated from Yale with honors
and after three years, of travel In Europe
and The Far East took to letters. Ills
success was almost Instantaneous Pub
lishers soon evinced an eagerness to receive
the bright, realistic stories iiom the pen
of Martin Murdock Hundred of enthu
siastic letters which poured In from maga
zine readers all oer the country convinced
the editors that Martin Murdock was "real"
and had struck a new and fresh note In
modern fiction.
Suddenly his brilliancy began' to wane
His stories lost their snap. Publishers
turned them back, wondering what had
happened to Murdock. Contributions soon
ceased to filter Into magazine editorial
rooms from Martin Murdock. It became
i noised about among his friends In Phila
delphia that he had become a "dope
fiend." He has never told how the drug
scourge fastened Itself upon him. lje Is
now a derelict of the Tenderlo'n, a ragged,
filthy, hopeless creature, aged by the rav
ages of morphine and heroin. There Is
nothing to distinguish him from scores of
others of the Tenderloin who sleep In cheap
, lodging houses or lie stupefied on squalid
doorsteps. Murdock has Just enough Intel
ligence left to panhandle money to buy his
dally supply of morphine from the "dope"
peddlers.
Once every two or three weeks ho
shambles Into the Methodist Rescue Mis
sion, at 242 North Eighth street, and takes
a seat Two or three times on his visits
to the mission the "dope" cloud has lifted
temporarily from his mind. On these oc
casions he has astonished mission workers
by reciting poems. The Itev. Thomas Mc
Kenty, superintendent of the mission, has
worl.ed tirelessly to smash the drug thongs
which bind Murdock, but thus tar his ef
forts have proved fruitless.
ARTJST DRAGGED DOW!
The Case of a woman artist who appealed
to Mr. Kane to free her from the "dope"
ccurge furnishes another example of how
morphine will wither genius. We will call
this woman Esther Hill. She was graduated
frorn a noted art school and studied art In
Paris, Vienna and Home. After completing
her studies she took a studio In Philadel
phia, She became very successful
Esther Hill became afflicted with severe
headaches. They were brought on by too
close application to worki She bought a
headache "cure" at a drug store. The
"cure" contained morphine. Innocently she
became a. morphine fiend. The drug icon
destroyed her cunning with the brush and
ruined her color conception. Her clientele
and her friends dropped away,, one After
another., Bhe told Mr. Kane that her wor
ship for morphine had caused her to run
through, savings of $60,000, leaving her
penniless
The case of a young man, whom we will
call John Adams, furnishes another phase
of the drug traffic. John Adams was a
) member of a church In the northeast sec
tion. He was the teacher of a Sunday
school class of boys and was active In the
5 affairs of a Christian Endeavor Society. He
had worked his way up In a bank and was
i one of the most trusted employes.
One night Adams was prevailed upon to
take a slumming trip Into the Tenderloin.
He was Induced to take a sniff of heroin.
Within two months the heroin habit gained
a grip or) him and he became a devotee of
the drug. A little later he came to a reali
sation of his plight and by a supreme exer
tion of will power managed to break the
Shackles.
Dut the "dope" peddlers wouldn't let him
alone. Knowing the properties of heroin
as a destroyer of morals, they hoped to
drag this young man tq a point of degrada
tion where he would rob the bank. Almost
every day the dopesters called at the bank
and flaunted packages of heroin under the
nose of the young employe. The tortures
suffered by Adams are Indescribable, but he
did not weaken. Finally when the dopesters
saw they could not break down his will
power they threatened to go to the heads
of the bank and expose him as a former
drug fiend, night here Adams did a sen
sible thing. He appealed to the police and
they drove off the wolves.
STUDENT LED A8TRAY
The case of a young college student
treated bir Drs Joseph Mclver and
George ,' Price at the Philadelphia Hos
pital, furnishes a phase of the drug scourge
more shocking than any yet related. This
student "was a member of a respectable fam
ily In moderate circumstances. He was
virtually working his way through college.
He was a boy of little vitality and especially
during examination periods suffered from
mental depression. On the advice of one of
his Instructors he began using cocaine as a
cerebral stimulant The drug did stimulate
his brain and made him pass his examina
tions wth flying colors, but a little later
he began paying the price for this forced
and unnatural brilliancy He became a
ecalne fiend. His mind and body became
blasted by the drug. He was as pitiful an
eJect as any of the 147 drug fiends who
applied to the Philadelphia Hospital to be
tired of their craving.
The Rev, Thomas McKenty points with
pride to one case he aided In curing of the
drug habit One day a dirty, hopeless-look-lng
individual drifted Into the Methodist
Rescue Mission For six months he had
been living In the Tenderloin, panhandling
to buy drugs from the peddlers. This man
mlraU 'of the United States Navy "wo
years ago he had occupied a high-salaried
Government position In Washington, and
both be and his wife wero prominent In
assay and navy society circles of that city.
Then ho became addicted to the morphine

IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS, RUSSIAN ARMY, Sept. 0.
GERMANY must send 400,000 men to tho aid of the demoralized Aus.
Y triang if sho hopes to stiffen their resistance, General Michael Alextcff,
chief of staff of Emperor Nicholas IPs armies, told mo today. '
Furthermore, German troops must
nrovido tho driving power if von

eastern offensive talked about in
Berlin. The Austro-Gcrmans can
not count upon the Turks for sub
stantial nid, said the man who di
rects the movements of' Russia's mil
lions of troops. Tho Turks can send
no more than 40.000 men to support
their Teutonic allies.
I asked him If ho credited 'the re
port of nn Austro-Gorman-Turklsh
comb!nd offensive ngainst Russia.
"Despite the inclrcllng ring of
tho Allies and the continual pressure
they aro exerting on all sides, I
would hesitate to say that such an
offensive is impossible," he replied,
"Tho blcRcst mistake a general can
make is to underestimate the
enemy. Should such an offensive
develop, Jt will be for us to beat it.
This I am most confident the Rus
sian army can do.
'I will not say that tho Austrian
armies on our front have been
crushed. They arc, however, badly
demoralized. The Russians have
shown what they arc capable of
doing when properly equipped.
They aro now entering the third
winter of tho war stronger than
ever. Their defeats at the start of
hostilities were duo to lack of am

now. Tho drive on the southern front, which began in May nnd is still
going on, is proof of this. The Austrians aro so badly shntterod that they
will require 400,000 Germans to cement them together."
General Alexieff praised the work done by tho Allies on the western front.
"But what nbout peace?" I asked on leaving.
A look of primness overspread his face.
"Pence probably is somo distance off," ho replied. "Neither side has
attained ,the object for which it h fighting. There can be no thought of
peace now. War must follow its inevitable, historic course."

DR. JAMES W. KEATH
The nmputation of his one remain
Inc Icr has not impaired the good
spirits of "Doctor Jimmy," who is
recovering from this latest opera
tion at Jefferson Hospital.
DR. KEATH GLAD TO LOSE
SECOND LEG; BARRED HIS
PLANS FOR BIG CAREER
Plucky Youth, Victim of Fall
While Student, Smokes While
Surgeons Amputate
Member
PARALYSIS SET IN
Though Dr. "Jim" Keath now has no legs
at all. ho Is the happiest patient In Jefferson
Hospital. .
His right leg, which had been paralyzed
since a fall broke his back In his student
daj s two years ago, was amputated nt the
Jefferson Hospital yesterday. Two years
ago his left leg was taken off. No ether or
local anesthetic was used In either opera
tion While lying In his cot with a nurse
dressing the wound, Docto'r Keath, with his
habitually optimistic smile, told a reporter
for the Evenino Ledoek that now that his
last obstacle find been removed (meaning
his useless right leg), he was ready to begin
his career as an ear and nose specialist.
Smiling Jim Keath calmly smoked a
cigarette yesterday while Dr. Francis T.
Stewart sawed away at his leg. Frequently
he madq comments on the Job with a nervy
little grin.
"Did It hurt?" Doctor Keath wos asked.
"Some," he replied. "You see, they had
to get up above the paralyzed part to make
the operation effective. But for two years
that blamed old leg has been In my way,
and I was mightily glad to see It coming off.
I parted with It like a man does with a
shoe that has been torturing his foot beyond
endurance." f
Dootor Keath forgot to tell the report
er that an hour after the operation he
ate a hearty supper Including chicken and
pumpkin pie, -but a nurse furnished these
facts to the reporter.
"What about tho future doctor? Is it
your plan to equip those stumps wp.fi arti
ficial legs?"
'The doctors," he replied, "don't seem
to think, that I will ever be able to swing
'artificial legs. They say my stumps will
be too weak to carry them. But I have
a taint hope that as time goes on I may
be able to wear a couple of very light
artlflcal limbs."
At this Juncture a nurse entered the room
and busied herself with dressing the stump
of the departed right leg. Smiling Jim
frequently Interrupted the Interview to give
directions. Using his elbows, he rolled
over so that the w6rk of the nurse would
be easier. Not even the faintest twinge
of pain disturbed the smiling face of the
man as the nurse applied the dressing.
"Doesn't, It. hurt, doctor?" he was asked.
"Oh, a little," he said, with one of his
rare smiles, "but do you know, I have
gotten used to pain. I found that you can
get used to almost everything In this
world.
"Say, when I think of the way some of
those poor boys have been- shot up in Eu
rope I feel like a fortunate man. As soon
as I get out of the hospital I'm going to
locate in some town upstate and build up
an ear and nose practice. 1 feel hopeful
of the future,"

Rovereto, che e' a dddlci mlglla s eud

Notlxte gtunte qui dalla Pentsola bal
cantca dlcono che grandl mass dl truppe
russe bI Bono concentrate nellaDobrugla
per arrestare la raplda offenslva del but-garo-tedeschl
contro la Rumania. Queste
truppe russe combattono ora accanlta
mente. I bulgarl, rlnforzatl da austrlacl e
turchl, hanno avamato In due coionne.
Una, agll ordlnt del maresclallo von Mack
ensen, ha occupato la fortezia rUmena dl
Tutrakan, aulla destra del Danublo,
L'altra, marclando In vlclnansa delta costa
del Mar Nero, ha occupato 1 port! rumenl
minor) dl BaltJIk, Kavarna e Kail Akra,
nella parte plu' meridionals della Dobrug.a.
brugla.
Tanto nella zona dl Tutrakan che In
quella costlera le forze rumene hanno
rlplegato davantl all'avanzare del bulgarl,
aspettando l'arrlvo del nnsl per dar bat
taglla agll lnvasorl. Nel tempo medeslmo
II grosso delle forze rumene si faceva strnda
nelle montagne della Transtlvanla. Ora le
truppe russe sono glunte In gran numero, e
se saranno vlttorlose contro 1 bulgaro
tcdeschl potranno Inlzlaro presto una in
vasions della Bulgaria dal nord.
IN TRANSILVANIA .
L'avanzata del rumenl In Transtlvanla
contlnua sempre. Vienna ammette ora un
ulterlore rlplegamento delle forze aus
trlache ad ovest della llnea dl Gyergo, o
Soda ammette cho I bulgarl hanno dovuto
nbbandonare Orsova, nelle vlclnanze delle
Porte dl Ferro, sul Danublo, che e' stata
occupata dal rumenl. Quest! sono penetratl
per trenta mlglla nella Transtlvanla, nella
parte settentrlonale, mentre dal sud avan
zano da Hermannstadt.
Sembra che lo Stato Magglore rumeno
sla declso a non permettere che le opera
zlonl offensive del bulgaro-tcdeschl nella
Dobrugla debbano menomare l'offenslva
rumena nella Transtlvanla, anche per II
fatto che l'arrlvo dl nuove forze russe In
Dobrugla da' at rumenl magglore ltberta dl
azlone contro l'Austrla.
I crltlcl mllltari londlnesl non danno ec
cesslva lmportanza alia caduta della for
tezza rumena dl Trutrakan e rltengono che
von Mackensen non puo' presentare alcuna
mlnaccla serta contro Bucareet; e st dice
anche che egll non ha al suol ordlnl che
due o tre division! rlnforzate da cavallerta
aiistrlaca e da alcune forze turche. In
tanto Bucarest nega umclalmente che ! bul
garl abblano, fatto prlglonlerl 20,000 rumenl
nellapresa dl Tutrakan, come fu annun
clato a Berllno.
Intanto si comlncla a notare una xerta
attiv Ita' sulla- fronts dl Salonlcco, do" che
fa supporre che azlonl dl fanterla, cloe' una
offenslva degll alleatl, sla 'mmlnente.
