Prohibition Biz
BY ASSOCIATED PREss

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. Ex-Governor
Hays. today signed the statewide
prohibition bill which prohibits the
granting of further saloon licenses for
1915 but does not disturb those al
ready granted.
Forestalling the effect in Pulaski
county, Judge Asker granted the Pc
tition of Little Rock saloon men for
licenses at 1880 a. M, forty minutes
before the measure was signed. Fifty
saloons opened.
Immediately after the passing Of the
prohibition bill by the house, it was
rushed to the governors Office but the
governor was busy. having granted
audience to a representative of the
liquor men who urged that the bill
should not be signed until the Pine
Bluff petitions could be heard by the
Jefferson county court.
That interview, aided by a filibuster-
which had held up the bin several
minutes in the house, gave time for
the completion Of the court hearing.
Not until after the court announced
that the saloon licenses had been
granted did the measure reach the
governor.

.sBritish war measures are a continu-
Gus violation of international law.
Great Britain has placed objects which
were not of use in war on the list of
contraband articles and even has dis
missed the question of contraband by
SELLING all objects destined for Ger
many and by taking away German
property from neutral ships and inn
prisoning Germans Of military age
found on neutral ships.
"AIl these measures have for their
object the maintenance OF British in
terests and destruction of German
economical life and starvation of Ger
man people Neutral powers are con-
.enting themselves with vain protests
against Great Britain's illegal, In
iurous measures. and are even under
pressure from England in issuing or
ders prohibiting export Of transit OF
Goods to Germany. Germany is there
fore obliged energetically to protect
her life and interests by declaring
blockade. A fortnight's delay win
give merchant ships the necessary
time to make arrangements"
