SECRETARY M'ADOO EN-
PHASIZES FACT in A
LETTER
TO CHAIRMAN
ALEXANDER
Steamship Companies Doing
Their Utmost to Relieve Elk.
isting Situation.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-Scarcity
OF neutral ships to carry the reviving
trade between the United States and
Germany Is emphasized in letter
written by Secretary McAdoo to
Chairman Alexander, Of the house
merchant marine committee, con-
cerning the work OF the war risk in
surancc board.
Some Of the steamship compan-
les" the secretary said. "are Offering
boats that have been in port out OF
use for a considerable length Of time
and some. indeed, Of such class as
TO render 1t questionable whether
they should he permitted to sail on
such voyages"
Mr. McAdoo said the board was
writing insurance up to $75O,OOO on
cotton cargoes to Germany, the
amount being divided between vessels
and cargoes. He added that he un-
derstood the regular marine insur-
ance companies were not writing pol
lcies moro freely. He quoted the
board as reporting:
ut can he safely assumed that the
American and German companies arc
doing their utmost to relieve the ex-
listing situation md tc develop a suf-
ficient market to take care of the
largest cargo. The German compan-
les have very special reason for de-
string to do the utmost In this direc-
ton.
"As far as marine insurance is
concerned we must differentiate be-
tween ships destined to German ports
and those to neutral ports with the
possibility of trans-shipment to Ger
many. AS to the latter. the. situation
Is practically no different than exists
In ordinary years. Rates to Rotter-
dam, Copenhagen and other Scandi-
nayian ports are practically the same
Rs last year on similar vessels. The
size of the market ia more than suf-
f1cient on such risks to take care OF
any cargo by suitable steamer.
"The situation as to shipments to
Germany is more difiicult. and the
available market is limited to Ger
man and American companies. The
situation Is rapidly improving and
the market is developing under tho
demand. t.
"The rates charged are not exces-
sive, taking into account that the
ports art on coast on which 1t is
safe to assume many aids to naviga-
ton have been removed and that sal
wage operations near that coast. un-
der war conditions, would he almost
impossible"

MUST MUST Be PAID
FOR WHEAT HELD
BRITISH PRIZE COURT AN
NOUNCES DECISION IN
TEST CASE
OTHER SHIPMENTS
BEING RELEASED
Vessel One of Large Number
Loaded With Wheat in u. S.
and Shipped Before War.
(By Associated Pcss.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. I.-The de-
cision OF the British prize court In
London in the case Of the British
steamship Miramichi, loaded with
wheat and shipped from America to
German consignees prior to the war
was announced here tonight by the
British embassy. The court held
that the wheat was still the property
OF the American claimants and order
ed that they be paid for it. The en-
bassy issued a statement on the case
which said in part:
"The vessel was ono OF a large
number which had shipped cargoes
Of wheat in the United States before
the outbreak of war consigned to
German firms in Germany. The case
was submitted to the prize court as
a test case in order that the point of
law might be determined whether
the goods were at the time of seizure
the property Of the American ship
pers or OF the German consignees.
"The case having been made test
one, other shipments are being re-
leased in like manner provided that
they were made before the outbreak
OF war and without contemplation of
war.
"From information now received
from a private source in the United
States it appears that practically all
cargoes Of wheat so seized were sold
to German firms before the war at
prices about 80 cents bushel lower
than the present actual market, price
Of wheat. The effect, it is pointed
out. effects to making the exports at
present of large sums Of money prob
ably averaging $4,000 to $4,000"

PETITIONS TO

WINE REJECTED
LAST APPEAL AGAINST RUS
SIA'S PROHIBITION DE.
CREE FAILS
MORE THAN FOUR
TO ONE AGAINST
The New Year Fastens she Lid on
Many Sections of United
States.

PETROGRAD, Jan. L. The last ap-
peal against Russia's prohibition de-
cree failed Thursday when the coun-
ellis OF Petrograd and Moscow reject
ed petition to authorize the recon-
mencement of the sale OF beer and
light wines. The recent final order to
discontinue the sale of all alcoholic
drinks was issued with the reserva-
tion that the city councils should
have the right to appeal for an au-
|thorizatiOn of the recommencement of
the sale of three-per cent beer and
light wines.
Tho final prohibition order was SO
unexpectedly issued that there was
Mo opportunity to provide stock
against the coming period Of abste-
nance. Between six and eight o'clock
in the evening the merchants rcceiy-
ed instructions that next day would
be absolute prohibition and hence
there wa5 no chance to give warning
to eager customers who, on a false
alarm previously spread abroad lined
the streets for hours awaiting their
turn to squeeze into the crowded wine
shops. The formerly popular restau-
rants. which managed to weather the
vodka edict, are now almost without
patronage.
The liquor dealers, restaurant keep
ers, wine growers and distillers
brough all possible influence to bear
on the city councils for authorization
to sell beer and light wines assisted
by theorists who, while approving of
general sobriety. Thought that absten-
ance should come gradually and that
the sudden cessation of the use of all
alcohol would have an injurious effect
But despite these influences and the
fact that not one per cent of the mem
bers OF the city councils we're teeto-
tallers, the councils rejected the pc
titton by vote on o :atio of more
than four to one.
The extreme measures to enforce
prohibition even extend to the sale of
denatured alcohol, varnish and every
conceivable alcoholic compound which
are not salable without permit.

with copy of the resolution enacted
by the association and also a copy of a
display advertisement which had ap-
peared in the local newspapers asking
for instances of fake advertising.
Explaining that the association had
not met with much success in this cam
paign because people were afraid to let
their names be used for fear that if
the case was not proved they would be
met with a libel suit, he explained that
the time had come for further action.

NOT WILLING
TO SAVE LIFE OF CHILD
Permission to Operate on Defective
Infant Born in New York

NEW YORK, November PA case
resembling that of the Bollinger baby
of Chicago developed here today when
a New York physician confronted the
question whether the life of defective
should be saved by a surgical opera
ton despite the wishes of the parents.
The baby. girl, was born last night.
Mentally the child appears to be nor
NAL, but is paralyzed below the waist:
has club feet. distorted knee joints
and a spinal ailment, which, physicians
say, will prove fatal if an operation is
not soon performed.
Prompt Operation Only Remedy.
Dr. julius Goldsmith, the attending
physician, notified the parents that the
childs life could be saved only by
prompt operation. He said afterward:
THE parents absolutely refuse per-
mission for the necessary operation. l
could probably save the child's life, al
though it would always remain help
lessly crippled. There is no action that
1 can take without the permission OF
the parents"
The father of the defective baby said {:
IT believe the Chicago physician was right.
For the sake of humanity l had rather
see this child die now than have to live
seven or eight years in misery and suf-
fering l think it would be better for all
concerned" -
