IN HIS OWN HOUSE?

Has man legal right to be as drunk
as he pleases in his own house?
This question has been decided by the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts in the
negative in the following case in point:
"A woman, drunk, but quietly sleep
ing on couch at her home, was COM
planned against, arrested and convicted
of being drunk. The court instructed
the jury that :" if they were satisfied
upon all the evidence that the defendant,
when found in the room, was drunk by
the voluntary use of intoxicating liquor,
she might be convicted under the COM
plant. ," Appeal was taken to the Sup
erior Court and to the Supreme Court,
but both sustained the conviction. The
offense made punishable by the Massa-
chusetts statutes, according to the inter-
probation by the Supreme Court, is
drunkenness by the voluntary use of
Intoxicating liquor" and ''the place
where the ofense is committed, whether
public or private, is not an element to be

Ambassador Gerard is in an exceed

present time, and has been ever since
the time the United States declared it's
OBJECTION to the German order establish
ing "war zone" about the British Isles.
At that time the Ambassador sought
to see the Emperor, but the latter de-
clined to grant him an audience, saying:
Tell him | will not receive him until
his government forbids the sale of NUM-
tons of war to Germany's enemies. Tell
him | cannot receive the representative
OF a nation, the bullets sold by which
are killing my soldiers" The Emperor,
however, later modified this position.

After a three months silence on the

After three months silence on the
subject, the United States government
thus defines it's attitude:
"In order that there may be no mis-
understanding of the position of the
United States in reference to the nego-
tiations pending between Japan and
China, this announcement is made:
Eat the beginning of negotiations the
Japanese government confdentially in
formed this government of the matters
which were under discussion and accom-
panied the information by the assurance
that Japan had no intention of interior
ing with either the political independ-
ence or territorial integrity of China,
and that nothing that she proposed
would discriminate against other powers
having treaties with China, or interfere
with the open door policy to which all
the leading nations are committed
''This government has not only had no
thought of surrendering any of it's
treaty rights with China, but it has
never been asked by either Japan or
China to make any surrender of these
rights. There is no abatement of it's
interest in the welfare and progress of
China and it's sole interest in the present
negotiations is that they may be con-
Guided in manner satisfactory to both
nations and that the terms of the agree
ment will not only contribute to the
prosperity of both of these great oriental
empires but maintain that cordial re-
lationship so essential to the future of
both and to the peace of the world"

BILLION BUSHEL CROP

The largest wheat crop in history-a
billion bushels be harvested this
year, if weather conditions remain good,
is the estimate sent out by the govern
ment a few days ago.
This figure, realized, will leave 4OO,-
100000 bushels for export purposes.
In view of the high prices of wheat as
the result of the war in Europe, farmers
planted more wheat last fall than has
been known heretofore in this country,
there being an increase of 5,21O,OOO
acres, or Al, 253.0O0 acres altogether. Of
this only 100000 acres has been found
useless to leave for reaping, the smallest
winter loss in over fifteen years.
With an ordinary yield of spring
wheat, the total crop will easily reach
the billion bushel mark, the report says.

LOSE POL VESSELS

The cost of the war in British ships,
not including warships, thus far has
been POL vessels. The loss of life has
been 1856.
DR.. Thomas J. MacNamara, parlia-

these figures in the house of commons
this week, in response to question from
Lord Charles Beresford.
