The realization is not yet reached, but
we have obtained the Introduction of
the sale of alcohol to women. minors
and modified men, who form eight
tenths of the population. Our pro-
gram goes further Truth is now
on the march and nothing can stop it.
France rid of alcoholism, will triple
her moral and material strength
The bill under which the govern

suppress the liquor trade and carry
out other drastic measures, by re-
ceiving power to deal by degrees with
matters concerning the national de-
Tense, brought about a lively discus

adjustment of dictatorship. while
others declared that its provision de-
noted an infringement of the privi-

Premier BRAND defended the meas

like civil requisitioning in order to pre-
vent speculation in food and also to
deal with other subjects such as the

Amsterdam. Dec. 11.---The positive
statement that peace conference will
be held at The Hague about January

the Frankfurtter Zeitung. leading
financial German organ, according to
dispatches from Berlin today.
The paper states that it is not Ger
many's wish TO bring about an
armistice but that military operations
are to continue while the conference
is in session.
While predicting a wide cleavage of
views at the outset Of the peace nego-
tiations, the paper is optimistic as to
the outcome of the conference II
urges that the entente must be pre-
vented by all means from evading a
positive answer to Germany's peace
offer. The article points out that al
ready there exists certain funda
aims in war and adds that Germany's
note must be interpreted as aiming
at ahlishment OF international
conventions. These conventions, il
says. are to prevent future interna-
uonal conflicts and are to safeguard
world peace.
The paper expresses confidence that
an agreement regarding armament
can be reached. 1t emphasizes. how

GARMENT WORKERS GET
SITE FOR SAN|TAR|UM
Woman Dying Of Tuberculosis Gives
Estate For T'ubercular
Sufferers.

New York, Dec. 17.--Mtss Martha
Hentschel. of Kingston, n. Y. has
just given a fortune to the Garment
Workers of New York city. The for
tune is represented In beautiful es-
tate on the heights overlooking the
Hudson River, near Kingston. 1t will
be used to endow a sanitarium for tu-
bercular patients in the garment
trades.
Between the lines OF the deed to
the property there is to be read a
story of much pathos.
Three years ago Miss Hentschel as
a trained nurse was caring for tuber-
cular patients when she contracted
the disease. Her fight for life has
been a losing one and today her ply
sicians declared she probably would
not live through the holidays.
Last April when Miss Hentschel was
told she could not live she cast about
for the best disposal of her fortune.
Her relatives, with the exception of
an aged father who lives on the Kings
ton estate. are dead.
Through Miss Lillian wahl, Of the
Henry Street Settlement here. she
learned OF the suffering among the
garment workers from the disease of
which she was dying. Examination
has shown that among the 10000
workers. one out of every 100 is suf-
fering with the disease.
The Kingston estate is valued at
$4,000. and $4,000 is to be spent
on additional hospital buildings.
Each member of the different local
garment makers unions Is to be taxed
a dollar year, and thus Miss Hent-
schers gift will be self-supporting
The sanatorium will be ready for &C.
cupancy by May.

DIR. John A. Shellto. member of an
American steel company. was also a
passenger on the Noordam. He said
he knew the baron very well and
could not understand why he should
have been held on the liner.
At the pier to meet the Noordan

baron, Eugene, was arrested with DR..

Is no legal impeachment in the way of
such marriage: and In the event that
either party be a minor, requiring the
consent OF the parents or guardian of
such minor az necessary to the issu-

Third, forbidding the granting of a

Such laws as I have suggested
