WHAT IF GERMANY WINS?
Professor Ferrero Will Discuss Prob
lem in Public Ledger.

What will happen If Germany wins2
VIII she be satisfied to remain on the
other side of the water2 What II tho
Kaiser succeeds in holding the iron mines
OF France and the deep. rich coal mines
of Belgium? These are some of the
questions which are on every tongue in
Europe and which are also discussed
here freely. These are questions raised
by Prof. Guglielmo Ferrero. the eminent
Italian historian. Not only is Ferrero
one of the most distinguished historians
of the day, but being closely in touch
with the forces and diplomats striving
to preserve Italy's neutrality. his views
are taken unquestionably as of one who
knows.
A direct reply to the above questions
is made by Professor Ferrero in a series
of articles addressed in particular to
Americans and Italians Each instalment
will give new light on the different
angles of the worlds most gigantic war.
The first article appears Sunday, Febru-
ary 2S, exclusively in the PUBLIC LEDGER.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-02-24

to prevent further disasters to American
shipping, the Washington Administra-
tion today took up two lines of action
looking to this end. They were said to
be:
To issue a warning to all shipping in
terests of the dangers of disregarding
the German Admiralty's war zone in
structions.
To make at least tentative efforts to
modify the English embargo on food
stuffs consigned TO Germany and the
Germany war zone order.
The declaration of the German authori-
ties that both the Evelyn and the Carib
were sunk while out of the course laid
down by the German Admiralty has
awakened official Washington to the
probable grave consequences of such ac-
ton.
Supervision by the United States of the
distribution of American foodstuffs ship
ped into Germany is the basis of the
Washington Governments latest pro-
posal for an agreement on the war zone
situation. This information came from
high sources here today.
The food supervision idea was origi-
nally advanced by the German Govern
ment in its first correspondence with the
United States on the war zone PROPOSE
States have its Consuls inspect food dis
tribution certifying that the consignments
go to civilians alone and are not ulti-
mately destined for military purposes.
One of yesterdays notes. II is understood,
tells Germany such a plan Is being con-
sIdered here while the other informs
Great Britain that the United States
will enter such an arrangement II It is
acceptable to that nation.

DELAWARE "DRYS" LAUNCH
LEGISLATIVE ONSLAUGHT
Delegations Appear in Behalf of Sub
stitute for Hazel Law.

DOVER, Del, Feb. "a. - Delaware
.drvs" today launched legislative on
slaught on the "wets" by appearing be-
fore the Senate and House Committees
on Temperance in behalf of the Hill bill,
which would restrict imbibers in the
two local option counties to a gallon
Of whisky or an eighth of barrer Of
beer a month. This was the first hear
ing on any of the IS liquor and anti
LIQUOR bills in the Legislature.
Deputy Attorney Generals John B. Hut
ton, OF Kent County, and Frank Jones'
Of Sussex, headed the white-ribbon advo-
Gates, while Mrs. Lena Messick, of
Bridgeville president of the State w. c..
Il. u. led delegation of women.
The Hazel anti-shipping law, drafted to
prevent drinkers from obtaining large
supplies of intoxicants and subsequently
declared unconstitutional by the courts.
was assailed as breeder of speakeases.
The Hill bill, which is proposed as sub
stitute the speakers said, would check
Illicit sales of liquor.
The county prosecuting officers advo-
Gated the gallon a month law, arguing
that the courts felt 1t would wipe out
bootleggers and yet give imbibeTs a suf-
nclent quantity for personal use. This
law, which became effective in the nine
Maryland Eastern Shore counties last
spring, Is the most drastic ever proposed
In Delaware. 1t prohibits treating and
prescribes that consignees and consignors
keep records of shipments available for
public inspection and as court records.

FREDDY JAKE's" APPEAL
New Trial Sought for Man Convicted
of Assault and Battery.

Appeal for n new trial for "Reddy''
Jake Melnicoff. the alleged Tenderloin
gang leader, was made today by his coun-
sci. Samuel w. Salus, before Judge Little
In Quarter Sessions Court.
Melnicoff was convicted last week OF
assault and battery on Young Jack Han
Ion. pugllist, whom he slashed with a
razor several weeks ago.
Mr.. Salus made the appeal, he said. be-
cause of the action OF Assistant District
Attorney Rogers in using Hanlon as an
exhibit before the jurors. He also objected
to the introduction of freddy Jake's"
criminal record in the trial.
Mr.. Rogers declined to enter into any
controversy regarding the relevancy of
tho testimony introduced and said he
would rely on the law to meet the argu-
ment OF Mr.. Salus.
He did intimate that Louis Bloomberg,
who was convicted with Freddy Jake" of
being implicated in the attack on Hanlon,
should have new trial. Melnicoff was
sent TO prison until Friday. when Judge
Little will announce his decision.
