Predicting national prohibition and
the complete annihilation of the liquor
traffic. ex-governor Patterson, of Ten
nessee, discussed the liquor question
from practically every angle, in a
speech on why l Changed Front on
the Liquor Question" before a Chau-
tauqua audience yesterday afternoon.
Approximately thirty-five hundred
people occupied the seats and benches
and stood in or around the big tent. It
was the largest audience which has
attended any event since Chautauqua
opened Many out-of-town people
were among the attendance, visiting
their friends who hold tent reserva.
tions
Governor Patterson held the liquor
question to be not primarily a state or
local question but fundamentally and
profoundly, a national question. The
amendment to the national constitu-
tion. and giving the states the power
to reject or ratify the adjustment of
liquor, will, before many years, be
passed and accepted by, all states, the
speaker prophesied.

Keep Back Information.
State department officials admitted
today that additional advices had been
received from Ambassador Page on the
Arabic matter, but asserted the info.-
nation was not for publication.
What advices were received could
not be learned. II was believed that
Ambassador Page had reported in de-
tail concerning the method OF attack
on the Arabic. His information 1t was
thought cleared up the doubtful points
on whether the Arabic was conveyed
and the state department did not want
to give out the information until Presi-
dent Wilson had seen it,
Wait for Word.
The United States government still
awaited late today for an explanation
of all the circumstances surrounding
the sinking of the Arabic by a German
submarine with loss of two Ameri.
can lives.
The information available was de-
scribed by Secretary Lansing as ''in-
volved.''
He stated that the exact facts had
not yet been established because the
information so far furnished by Page
was fragmentary, and nothing definite
or certain has been established"
There was no attempt to disguise
the fact that OF all the information so
far received indicated that the sinking
of the Arabic was flagrant violation of
the rights OF non-combatants and II
that is the final decision of this gov.
ernment, then Germany will be given
brief opportunity to disavow the act
before any steps are taken.
President Wilson today issued his
first statement on the sinking of the
Arabic by a German submarine. Pri.
vate Secretary Tumulty gave out the
following after a conference with the
president:
LAS soon as all of the facts are as
certained our course of action will be
determined"
Secretary Tumulty would not add to
the statement in any way.
