It is doubtful whether any part the New World more vcis- situdes.

WICHITA, Kas.. Dec. 22.-The critical condition of three persons in- jured in the Kansas Masonic Home ire early today caused fears that the death list would be increased.

OREGON DRY LAW HIT; PERSONAL
 USE IS UPHELD
CBy Review Leased Wire)

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. % -Oregon's prohibition law was given blow here today when Circuit Judge Henry E. McGinn ruled that the state had no authority to limit or prohibit citizens fIom manufacturing CT importirs liquor fer personal use.
 If man wants to go wrong cross lots, that's his affair" said the judge But when he wants to send his broth CT wrong cross lots, then it is the states affair"
 The ruling was aimed at the pres ent law, which prohibits importation, but if it stands, would apply. it was believed, on the total prohibition law which is expected to become effective next month. The decision was made in an injunction suit filed by A. Lima, of Portland, who asked that the police officers be enjoined from searching his premises for liquor.

PRESIDENTS NOTE WILL NOT CHANCE
 ALLIES WAR PLAN
England Watches Effect Note Has in Germany, and Then Decides to Dislike It Lloyd-George Silent.
By Review Leased MireI

! LONDON, Dec. 22-Chief interest here concerning President Wilson note to the belligerents and neutral i powers on the possibilities Of the bel ! ligerents making known their require menJs concerning peace, now centers upon the reception of the document by the central powers. The first address received here from Germany regard ing the note evinces enthusiasm and welcome, it was the reverse in Eng land. The discussion here overnight was so absorbed. in British emotions and as to the type of what should be Great Britain's reply that the attitude of the central powers commanded lit tie attention.
 The note continues to be the only subject of interest here. Its only par allel in Anglo-American relations as regards the sensation it created wa President Cleveland's Venezuelan mes sage and the two documents are coup. led as having created a similar i'm pression.
 All discussion in official quarters emphasizes the possibility that the policy of the entente allies and their procedure towards the peace overtures of the central powers will not be al tered by President Wilson's appear ance upon the stage as participant in events.
 The entente allies will present their reply to the central powers very soon. and reply to President Wilson will come later, but probably not within 9 fortnight. The reply to the central powers had virtually been arranged when President Wilson's note was re- ceiyed and will take its predestined course.
 British public men generally decline to speak for publication concerning the note of President Wilson. and those in the government cannot do so with ou; violation of official custom. Those outside of the government do not de sire to embarrass it.
 All the prominent officials will re- main in London during the holidays. Work at the government offices by the new administration is under full head way.
