BRYAN ADVISES STATE
ACTION ON PROHIBITION
Believes Immediate Attempt for Ma
tion-Wide Legislation Unwise, He
Tells Topeka Convention.

TOPEKA, Kan, January "A prefer
ence for state action for prohibition.
at present. rather than an immediate
attempa for national prohibition, was
expressed in letter from Secretary Of
State Bryan to Elon G. Borton. national
secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohi-
bition Association, read at the closing
session of the convention Of that Or
ganization here last night.
In his letter, Mr.. Bryan said:
"Ip the matter of prohibition. I think
that at present the emphasis should be
laid on the contests in the states. In
some states the time is ripe for ac-
tion, and think 1t is better to concen-
trate the forces on these than tospread
them over the entire Union. However,
this is a matter of opinion and relates
to the policy of national action at this
time, rather than to the principles in
volved.
The strong vote polled in the House
a few days ago shows how rapidly SEN
timent is growing against the saloon.
In the debate over the amendment
good deal was said about the doctrine
of local self f-government, which was
invoked against national prohibition.
You need not worry about that The
liquor interests have no more respect
for local self-government than they
have for federal action

new YEAR WELCOMED
SOLEMNLY BY BERLINERS
Noise and Merrymaking Of the Past
Entirely Lacking in Ger
man Capital.

BERLIN, January ., via The Hague
and London.-Berlin Thursday night
at the passage of the old year showed
strikingly for the first time since the
outbreak of the war that the life of
the city is not proceeding in it's normal
channels. The customary celebrations
to welcome the advent of the new year
were almost entirely lacking.
Where twelve months ago hundreds
of persons had congregated to take
part in the festivities, this year the
manifestants could be counted by tens,
and the merry throngs which formerly
crowded the main thoroughfares of
Berlin on New Year eve were replaced
by limited gathering Of citizens, whose
seriousness Of mien gave the occasion a
distinctly solemn aspect. No horns were
blown and no bells were rung, ncr could
any other notse-making contrivance be
heard. Even the customary 'prosit
Neujahr" wass missing.
Another fact that struck observers of
the nights doings was that compare
lively few men were present. Former
ly the police were busy New Year eve,
but Thursday night they virtually had
nothing to co.
The same quiet prevailed everywhere
In the large cafes and restaurants.
where usually merry crowds welcomed
the coming Of the new year with song
and laughter. everything was quiet.
The people did not even throw confetti
BY common consent this form of
amusement was omitted. That the
thoughts of the people were with their
dead on the battlefield was unmistaka-
Bile. All the amusement places in Ber-
lin, even those with a1l-night licenses,
were closed at ! o'clock.
