 Soon to Attach Signature

Atlanta November 12.-The lower house of the Georgia legislature passed a bill to prohibit the manufacture or sale of liquor in Georgia. The bill already had in the bill made by the house was that the proposed law would become effective May l. 191e instead of January next as provided by the senate. The bill defines liquor as any drink containing more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol. It gen erally is understood at the capitol that Governor Harris will approve the meas ure. The vote in the house was 142 to g
 Advocates of the bill declare that it will eliminate breweries. so-called near beer saloons and Locker clubs now operating in Georgia under the present prohibition laws, which allow the manu- fracture and sale of drinks containing not more than per cent of alcohol.
 The senate already has passed bills to prohibit liquor advertisements in Geor- gia, and to limit the amount of liquor each individual may have shipped to him from without the state. These bills are to come before the house Monday next.
 The legislature met in special session November 3 at the call of Governor Har- ris to pass the annual appropriation bill, which failed to pass at the last regular session because of a fight over prohibit tion. Prohibition and several other sub- jects were included in the governors call.

CABINET MEETING
 HELD BY WILSON
Sinking of the Italian Liner Anc0na Discussed-First Meeting in
 Months

} Washington, November 12-President Wilson and the cabinet met today for the first time since last July, when the Ger man submarine question was at one of it's most serious stages. The sinking of the Italian liner Ancona, coming, after the Falaba incident. was the most impor- tant question before the cabinet today, but no definite action was expected until full official details were at hand.
 It was stated at the White House, how ever. that the cabinet meeting today was called only because the President wanted to get in touch with his official advisors before the opening of Congress to discuss his annual message, and legislation pro- poseo affecting their department. From now on cabinet meetings will be held reg ularly twice a week.
 The principal subject taken up at to- days cabinet meeting was how to raise the money for carrying out the defense plans. No definite conclusion was reached, but the prevailing idea was to avoid bond issue. The subject will be considered further at administration con- ferences between the President and dem ocratic leaders of the Senate and House.
 Secretary Houston said that the agri- cultural interests of the country were in very good condition. Other optimistic re- ports of business conditions were laid be- fore the cabinet.
