Toward the closing hour it devel- oped that a whiskey famine prevailed in the city, especially in the bottled trade, the prices scared to double that which had prevailed during the day.
 In the uptown cafes where dancing is permitted a near beer was sold af- ter the supply ordered by guests be- fore midnight had been consumed.
 The notorious resorts below Yes Ter Way were required by the police to close their doors at 10 o'clock. The order was put into effect to pre- vent the vicious element from becom- ing intoxicated and manageable. When the resorts were closed droves of loafers, who knew no other place than the saloons in which to spend their evenings, aimlessly wandered around the streets or congregated in rooms to share their supply with less fortunate who had been unable to se- cure bottle.

SIXTEEN HUNDRED
 SALOONS CLOSE
Wholesale Liquor Houses Haye Ship ped Stocks to Territory where Law Does not Apply.


 DENVER, Jan. 1.--As statewide prohibition went into effect at mid night last night all the saloons in the city are closed for the first time in it's history. The Denver Liquor Deal ers' Association has issued a list of sixteen hundred saloons which have been closed in the various cities and towns in the State.
 When the prohibition law was pase- ed by the state legislature 1t was be- lieved that 1t would not be applicable to Denver owing to the city having been granted an independent char ter. The recent ruling of the supreme court crushed the hopes of the sales men that they would be permitted to continue in business.
 Many of the saloonkeepers and wholesale liquor dealers have shipped their stocks into states where prohi-. bition was turned down, but 1t is ad mitted by them that it is only mat ter of a short time until nation wide prohibition will be effective.

| Seattle, Jan. 1.-Ehe heavy fall Eof snow in Seattle yesterday after noncombined with the fact that g cold wind was blowing. served to dampen the ardor of the crowds in celebrating the advent of the New Year and the closing of the saloons at midnight.
 Contrary to the expectations the festivities were marked by orderliness and fewer arrests were made than on last New Years eve. The order of the police prohibiting throwing of con- fetti and talcum powder had robbed the young people of opportunity to interfere with pedestrians.
 Many of the saloons had already gone out of business, only those who had leases that extended into the new year having remained open for the last day. It is reported by the pol ice that less than one hundred of the three hundred and fifty saloons had remained open until the prohibition law, went into fleet.

 B Marked Increase.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The New York customs office reports a marked insrease In the revenues derived from duties on importations of diamonds and other precious stones during 1915 over that of the previous year.
 The duties paid on diamonds en- tered through the New York office during the past year amounted to twenty-five million dollars. This is an increase Of six million dollars over the impostations of the previous year and indicates that Americans are prosperous and have more money to spend for jewelry.
 /'The European war, which has ex- tended to the South African diamond fields has not created any noticeable shortage in the market, although inn porters say the price of uncut stones as we'll as manufactured jewelry is steadily being increased by the En- glish syndicate controlling the output of the African diamond mines owing to the heavy war tax to which they are being subjected.

PARIS: That France is not ready to make peace is evident by the state ment made in an address to 8 large
 crowd assembled a few days ago in
 memory of the dead of the war of 1870. MT. Thomas, French Secre- tary of War said in part:
 There will be no peace until our Alsace and Lorraine are definitely re- established as part of the French unity.
 There will be no peace until our unfortunate brothers of Belgium and Serbia are assured of recovering their homes in complete security and independence.
 There will be no peace until Ger man imperialism and Prussian mili- tarism are put beyond the possibility of resurrection.
 There will be no peace until sys- tenn of right, founded upon the viclo- rious union of the allies. and sup ported by the free adherence of neu- trals has abolished forever the vic lence of war.
 Whatever may be the sacrifices
 France. united. will go steadily for
 ward to accomplish this end. Today. before the terrible obstacle which confronts them. justice and liberty
 have only one road-that which our nation in arms opens to them, with the machine gun and the cannon. '' The declaration of M. Thomas de Irives added significance from the fact that in addition to his connection
 with the cabinet he is one of the leaders of the Socialist party.
