Glen Ellen, Sonoma Co., Calif., December 22. 191C. tho Editor of the Bullotln: Today I was Impressed so deeply id forcibly by a certain number id tho part It played In the life of man whom overyono knows, tnat tnkn nnnn mvsolf tho liberty to quaint you with tho facts rcgard- Ig IL Tho number Is twenty-two, and o man. no other than JntK ion- n. I have visited Jack London's mo town and Valley of tho Moon uch several times previous to ins .parturo on this his last trip over trail uhlcu leads always on- hrH In 1913. Jnck London wis having Instructed a home In every senso a omo according to his light. It was ' heautifui fdlflco built' of native bilk, and was situated In an ideal cation. Large redwood trees rose kajestleally about It, and for a rkuround thero were the thlcmy loodod Valley of the Moon moun- kins, which "were his and re-cnnii- hicd by him. This home was bo ng constructed In the center ot nis 1.700 acre ranch. On the 22nd of ugust of 1913, through an un nown cause, this building caught n ilre, leaving nothing "but the rock. ca shown through this uunainu i 1913. nnd today I again saw it tothlng but sad ruins. r liart the nleaBure of being wim lack London's nephew, Irving Shop- ard, who took me on tins tour oi hannnllnn rtvnr flin OllllrO rOnCll. I las shown prize hogs, pedigreed bws, bulls and horses, isever ue pro have I seen a ranch with such tnltary buildings for stock. Every- hlng was built of rocK wnu cuu- eto floors and tho floors were rn.i.-ho.i ,iniiv. Before we entered Eik rnrrnlx U'R BtODOed Ot a Small louso where we dipped the soles of ur shoes In a disinfectant to kiu ny dangerous germs which might a transmitted to the stock. My ulfln Informed me of the fact that tern was one animal not present Ihlch was Jack London's favorite 12,500 stallion called Ncuaau. Science of sponded in unprecedented fashion to tholr king's and country's call under the voluntary system, but It was only tho certainty of ultimate conscription that finally brought tho enrollment up to flvo million men. Tho molding of this huge lump of iiuman raw material into an elnclent military machno has been n gigantic task, but its proper equipment has been n greater. Llttlo less than -miraculous has been the development of the muni tions Industry In this country dur ing tho last year. From tho start Britain has been the treasury of tho allies; now It has become their nrraory. When Lloyd Gcorgo be gan turning England's factories into arsenals tho Germans wero manu facturing and shooting about ten Bhells to tho allies' one, Tltcro was a time when on certain sections of the battlo line British gunmen wero limited to four rounds per day. Up on America and Jnpon Britain was depending for tho most part for Its supplies of machine guns, heavy ar tillery and high explosives. Now theso conditions nro all reversed. Moro than 4,000 prlvato firms In England, 05 per cent of which be fore tho war had never produced a gun, a shell nor a cartridge, now nro turning out munitions of out sort or another. . Moreover, England Is not merely supplying her own big armies. Sho has had to help out Russia, Franco nnd Italy, especially tho first named. It has been largely duo to English guns nnd English shells that tho Russians havo been able to put tho Germans on the defensive. Large quantities of English munitions wero sent also to Koumanln, nnd tho Serbian army would doubtless still bo fighting for Monastlr had It not been thoroughly re-cqulppcd by Great Britain. But this Is not all, Tho munitions Industry In this country Is constant ly growing. It the war should con tinue so long next yoar'B figures will doubtless dwarf those of 1916 as thoso do last year's. Giving nil duo credit to tho al lied strategy in general nnd to Ilnlg's military genius In particular, us well as to tho admitted Improve ment of Tommy as a fighting propo sition, and tho present superiority of tho British air service, thero Is aftor all only ono answer for tho re cent successes along tho Sommo and tho Ancro munitions. Tho 'lessons of Yprcs, Nouvo Chuppolle and Loos havo beon well learned. There Is one realm In which Brit ain didn't havo to tako any lessons. As a hanker John Bull Is not merely comfortably well-heeled; ho ls.an expert. Tho British government, despite Its average expenditure of 125,000,000 a day slnco tho war be gan, besides tho tremendous con tributions ma do to Its friends, has had no difficulty nt nil In raising suc cessive loans both at homo and In j America and at reasonable rates. This beautiful nnlmul died on Octo ber 22, 191C. With mo nnd Mr. Sheppard was a Mr. F. C. Hanker from Wostwood, California. Ho, Ilka myself, was on a vacation and this tour through Mr. London's ranch was a treat be yond duplication, At ono o'clock w wnrn Hnrvod luncheon In Mrs. Sheppnrd's homo. Mrs. Sheppard Is tho superintenueni oi tno rancn and, also, Jack London's sister. Aftor luncheon wo wero told to roam around to do whatever we felt like dolnK. There was enough to do. Throughout the houso wero trophies which- Mr. London hat; gathered from tho far corners ot ilm world. Nowhoro In tho houso wore theso trophies In profusion they blennou in nnrmoniousiy wmi thn color scheme, and gavo that homo that certain something which mado you feol It was different, out only In n pleasing way. What Interested me keenly were Jack London's books the set was a complete autographed collection of all his writings, ah oi meso books contained a short greeting to hla "dear sister Eliza" a greeting couched in words that bespoke Lou don's characteristic wholo-hcarted stylo of rhetoric. During the entlro day It rained with Intermittent snatches of sun shine. Wo minded this not at nil, for we were fully togged out In wat orproof slickers. I nad ono which Jack Loudon wore while ho was In Alaska and on his voyage In tho i,nrV Mr. Hanker had on a pair of boots loaned him for the occas ion, which had felt the touch or many strange lands. That theso ar ticles of wearing apparel had a his tory we knew not at first. But soon we wore made awaro of what thoy were and whero thoy had been by such Incidents as an extra heavy shower or an especially muddy spot in i,A fmll uhlrh hrnneht forth elucidating remarks from our host which mado us feel proud that tne rain was falling and that the road was muddy. On our return to Glen Ellen wo walked on a trail leading through a dense eucalyptus grpve. On leaving this grove of trees we came to a pretty knoll. It was here we met with our greatest surprise. Mr. Irving Sheppard remarked, "Now let me show you where my Uncle Jack Is sleeping his last sleep. Ho led us to tho top of tho knoll nil was natural, trees, old musty leaves, bushes and Just ono big, rough r6ck. Under that plain rock, which had been tho corner stone of tho houso thnt might havo Decn It "the worst had been tho best," rested the dust thnt once breathed tho nlr of this Valley of tho Moon, tho valley he loved and called his home when from foreign pilgrimages ho return ed. Tho last twenty-two In Jack Lon don's careor ended his earthly jour neys. Ho passed Into the Great Be yond on the 22nd of November. As I stood there, cap in hand, admiring tho nnturulness of It all, I could not restrain myself from saying, "By the turtles of Tnsman, what n man!" Very sincerely yours, GEO. E. GEARY. P. S. I had formed tho Impres sion from reading newspaper artic les that Jack London's dust was thrown to tho breezes to bo wafted whither they blew but It Is not so, for they rest in n concrete box with that big, rough stono standing sentinel on tho knoll overlooking the 'allcy of tho Moon. i G. E. G. DOCTORS TO RATE THE MORAL STATUS OF BIRTH CONTROL (From Tuesday's Dally.) lly George Martin. (United Pra Stall Corrrtpondent.) NEW YORK, Dec. 26. John S. Sumner, Anthony Comstock's suc cessor ns arbiter of Gotham's mor als, can't docldo whothcr birth con trol Is n vlco or u virtue. Sumner has put it up to tho New York County Medical society, which Is Itself divided three ways on tho point nnd promises to stugo it live ly fight at today's discussion ot tho subject that Mrs. Margaret Sanger mado famous. It tho disagreeing doctor men don't tell Mr. Sumner whether he Is Mrs. Sanger's friend or hor enemy today, Now York's Comstocklau vlco censor Just won't know what to do. It Is Mr. Sumner's dcslro not to bo directly quoted In tho matter, but It has been discreetly nnd modestly Intimated that tho attltudo ot tho Society for tho Prevention of Vlco toward birth control will bo Influ enced by what tho doctors say to day. Tho Medical socloty has been pull lug and hauling around tho subject for a year, taking It up and dropping It suddenly Severn! times. Tho situation today reveals ono faction of tho socloty favoring a resolution advocating tho right for physicians to give ndvtco to married mou on tho subject of birth control nnd to n tno ml tho stuto law that pro hibits dissemination of such Infor mation. Another faction Is oppos ed to having anything to do with tho subject while n third Is opposed to tho society Inking any action ns a society regarding tho change in tho law. Should tho society doclnro In fav or of birth control education by physicians it would presont sovernl unlquo situations. Probably It would bo tho first medical society to tuko such n radical step. It would ho a big boost for Mrs. Sangor, who has been nlllclully howled down all over tho country, and It would, If Sumner doos ns ho has Intimated ho will do, link tho Now York nntl-vlc-crs hand In hand with Mrs. Sangor, whoso nctlvllloH have been denounc ed by many courts, Including tho U. S. federal court of tho Now York district, ns not nt all proper or vir tuous. Tho outcomo of today's meeting Is being watched closely by tho proH nnd nntls of birth control through out tho country; and pnrUculnrly by Mrs. Sangor und hor lloutonants, In asmuch as Mrs. Sanger's trial on tho chargo of operating a "nuisance" In hor birth control clinic, which comes up early In January, Is moro or Iobs looked upon as a battle royal bo tweeu the two factions.
