ATLANTIC CITY. y. j.. October 2S, 1911.
Notwithstanding one or two rainy days
along the New Jersey coast. the golden
October sun is again shining upon At
lantic City. and the men and women from
all parts of the world arc here enjoying
the rare autumnal days by the sea The
theaterS are crowded and the piers that
offer dancing and many other attractions
as we'll are crowded nightly with the
elite of the nation Atlantic City has out
stripped itself as a mere summer resort,
and is now the playground of the nation
throughout the calendar year.
Many social functions are being given
during the early fall season. and many
ladies of moment in their home social
circles are taking opportunity to entertain
their friends at the shore during the pleas
ant days of a fine autumnal season by
the October sea. Dances, dinners, bridge
parties and luncheons fill up the ma
jority of miladys afternoons. while the
theater or dance occupies her later hours.
Atlantic City gives excellent promise OF
resorts history.
All manner of dogs-bulls. pugs ter
riers, cocker spaniels. Pomeranians. set
tiers, pointers and the little white woolly
samples-are seen upon the Boardwalk
these autumn days. They are generally
in leash and led by a member of the fair
sex who devotes a great deal of atten-
ton to her pet. The recent proclamation
by the acting mayor prohibits the run
ming at large OF dogs upon the Board
walk. and this order has resulted in a
number of aristocratic dogs being Melted
humiliatingly by the local dog catcher
and hustled off in the wagon" where
they were compelled to consort with Pile
beianS.
Ideal weather has prevailed during the
early part OF the week and the great
Boardwalk has been thronged nightly
as the theaters and other amusement
places closed. sending thousands home or
cafe ward. Save for a perceptible tinge
of fall in the air the Boardwalk night
scene is very similar now to what it was
in the middle of the summer season.

From the Chicago Journal.
The birth rate in France is decreasing
to such an extent that a vision appears
of lack of men for the nations armies
of the future The situation Is the more
because of the Increase IN
the birth rate in Germany.
If present conditions are to continue
where will France get men to fight any
possible wars in which the nation may be
engaged? Replying 10 this question, some
of the students of prospects and posi-
bilities point to the French possessions
in Africa.
The French Kongo is represented as
having population of 1o0lo,on TO ~

Kongo men are serving IN arms under
the French flag. They are said 10 make
good soldiers. IT is asserted that an army
of several hundred thousand men might
be recruited in the country

to place any considerable force OF coll

GOVERNOR COBB FOR
PROHIBITION
Issues Statement to Sup
port Amendment
Believes by Voting for Temperance
Cause Will Contribute to Morai
Welfare of State.

His mail deluged with inquiries
from every part of the State relative
to his stand on the prohibition Crisis
which Maine is now facing, former
Governor William T. Cobb, widely
known as sponsor of the now discard
ed Sturgis law under which he sought
to give the State an effective enforce
ment of the prohibitory liquor law
was compelled today to issue for
NAL statement. He has neither apol-
ogy nor absolute denial to offer for
the statement widely circulated by
the opponents of prohibition who
quote of preferring free rum" to pro-
hibition as he had been able to en-
force it in four years of strenuous
trial, but announces his firm inten-
ton of voting for the retention of the
prohibitory amendment. His state
ment follows:
Several newspapers published In
the State and now advocating the re-
peal of the prohibitory law have re-
Gently printed my portrait and cou-
pied with it a statement in the form
of a quotation which, if allowed to
stand undisputed or unexplained
would fairly indicate that | was OPP
posed to the law in question. This
quotation originally appeared more
than year ago. and when | first saw
it, it was based upon an alleged in
terview. | have no fondness for
newspaper controversy and did not
believe that my views upon any
phase of the temperance question
would be of further interest to the
people of Maine or would be used by
one to influence the results of the
present campaign. / therefore said
nothing. But my silence is now being
construed in a way that is prominent
and distasteful and in fairness to the
many who have asked and written me
about the quotation and my views |
consider it proper and desirable to
give publicity to the facts regarding
both.
While l have no positive recollec-
ton of having used the exact words
attributed to me, | cannot and do not
deny that | said them. The result
of the attempt to enforce the prohibit
tory law during the four years end
ing in January, 1909, was a keen dis
appointment to me, and | realize that
in occasional periods of chagrin and
dissatisfaction, | may have expressed
in private conversation and to friends
the sentiments now quoted against
me. So far as my personal views and
proposed action are concerned, or
may be of interest, l intend to vote
In September for the retention of the
prohibitory amendment, and shall do
this because | believe that a vote to
that end is the best contribution I
can make to the moral social and
economic welfare of Maine"
