general feeling is that any such raid
could be checked as the Turks would
have to reckon with not only the Brit
ish troops, but with warships which
will be able to share In the work OF

Suez canal, Off Akabah, Arabia, and at
other points.
Said to Be Massing Troops.
Aware of the fact that 1t is less diff
.ffcult to cross the desert In winter than
in summer, the Turks are said to be
massing troops with all possible speed
south of Syria.
The Cairo correspondent Of the Daily
News says 1t is virtually certain that
Turkey has decided to make what he
terms a rash attempte to invade Egypt.
German engineers are doing everything
possible to overcome the dimculty In
moving heavy artillery over the sandy
wastes and rocky defiles to cope with
the guns guarding the Suez canal. he
continues. One, at least, of these ex-
periments ended disastrously in the
temporary abandonment of large cal

Latest advtces relative to the pro-
Spective Austro-German attack on Ser

that il prohibition was forced upon
the people, when a majority OF the
people opposed it, 1t would be a fall
ure, as 1t had been in other commu-
mites.
1T seems to me-" said Senator James.
that the liberty of the citizen fades
as he approaches more nearly the capi-
tai of the nation"
Senator James said it was as unfair to
align with the saloon interests those who
favor high license as 1t would be to as
sociate with the blind tiger" and Illicit
traffickers in liquor those who favor pro-
hibition where it has been found that pro-
hibition did not prohibit.
Peoples Rights Advocated.
He insisted that the people Of the Dis
trict have as much right to voice their
wish In regard to prohibition as have the
people Of Texas.
He said that the people in Texas have
three times repudiated statewide pro-
hibitton, and he challenged Senator
Sheppard to say whether he would vote
upon the citizens of Texas prohibition
against their will.
Senator James had read a letter from
President Wilson to Rev. P. D. Shannon
favoring local option and local self
government.
Senator James contended that prohi-
bition can only be successfully en-
forced in communities where the senti-
ment is overwhelmingly in favor Of it,
and that it invariably fails of enforce
ment where it is put upon a community
against popular sentiment.

Where Are Foodstuffs Goingp

I'VE must find out where the food
stuffs are going and where we are to
get any for ourselves. The United
States cannot undertake to feed the
world on its present acreage. We must
find out where the 100000 worth of
food imports last year came from. If
large portion of that came from Can
ada, 1 should say the English govern
ment would commander that source of
supply during the war and cut us of from
it?
"a general survey of the foodstuffs
question is Of the most Importance.
One single item of meat Is worth study
ing. For instance. January l, 1907,
there were 51.000.000 head Of cattle in
this country. and January !, 1914, there
were 3s,500,000. There Is a big reduce
tion, but in value the meat supply on
the hoof jumped from sS81 $780, 900 jan
uary l. 1907. to $1,216.000.000 in jan
uary. 1914 big reduction in the
amount Of cattle available and a ter
rife jump in price"
The Farr resolution asks for inven-
tories of various food supplies, includ-
ing wheat and other cereals, cattle and
meat animals; the amount of exports
and imports and records of the price Of
wheat in Chicago for several years
past.
