PACT OF PEACE

BLACK SEA SEEN AS INVIOLABLE RUSSO-TURKISH LAKE

Washington, May 25,

The decision of Kemel Attaturk to rearm again the demilitarized zone along the Dardanelles was viewed here as another plate in Soviet Russia's armour of defence. As a result of this move, in view of some, the Black Sea is likely to become a "Russo-Turkish lake" inviolable! to warships of other powers, save in times of peace.

MOUNTAIN-TOP

SEANCE TO END

ALL SEANCES'

New York, May 15.

A LAST effort to establish contact with Harry Houdini, the famous magician, who died ten years ago, is to be made shortly by his widow.

Mrs. Houdini says: "This will be the seance to end all seances, I will hold the seance on a mountain top, as near as heaven as possible, and with as many interested people as possible.

“This will be positively my last attempt to communicate with my husband, who promised he would try to come back to me if there was such a thing as spiritualism. I will abide by the result."

One of the strangest friendships in history existed between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini. Both regarded the other as sincere--but misguided.

Conan Doyle was convinced that Houdini would make a perfect medium, but that he lacked faith.

Houdini admired Conan Doyle, but thought him too ready to believe anything.
