new IDOL Of PARIS.

PARIS. June 36.-In Paris the fight
fans fesarded Georges Carpenter as
the greatest scrapper Of the age, but
the cops have different views. They
vote unanimously for Willie Lewis,
who Is now trainer for Frank Moran.
Paris became a bedlam Immediately
after the outbreak OF the war. 1t
wasn't safe for American women to
travel alone through the streets. The
American ambassador, therefore.
pressed into escort service all the
American men he could find. He dis
covered Lewis, who happened to be in
the city at the time. and delegated
. him, with another American, to take
four women to the railroad station.
1t was impossible to get cabs and SO
Lewis and his party walked. They
had to pass through one of. the rough
sections. In the heart OF the Apache
district, seven OF the gansters stepped
out from the protection of the building
and began to hurl insulting remarks.
Cut 1t out" admonished Lewis In
French. whereupon. one OF the Apa-
ches attempted to grab one Of the
women by the arm.
Like a flash, Lewis struck. His
fist crashed full into the face of the
Apache and the target went to the
ground as though a safe had fallen
upon him.
The six other Apaches closed in
upon Lewis. Knives flashed and a
billy swished through the air. But
Lewis. instead of retreating, pitched
in and whipped the pack.

From morning till night. it was drill,
drill, and again drill. We were divided
into groups Of So each OF which was
put in charge Of a young noncommis-
stoned officer from the military school
of Constantlnopia or Damascus, or Of
some Arab who had seen several years
service. These instructors had a hard
time Of it: the German military sys-
tenn, which had only recently been In
troduced, was too much for them. They
kept mixing up the old and the new
methods Of training, with the result
that it was often hopeless to try and
make out their orders. Whole weeks
We're spent in grinding into the Arabs
the names of the different parts of the
rifle; weeks more went to teaching
them to clean although it must be
said that, once they had mastered these
technicalities, they were excellent shots.
ihelr efficiency would have been con-
slderably greater if there had been
more target shooting. From the very
flrst, however, we felt that there was
scarcity of ammunition. This short
age the drill masters, in q spirit Of
compensation, attempted to make up
by abundant severity. The whip of
soft flexible, singing leather, which
seldom leaves the Turkish officers
hand, was never idle. This was not
surprising, for the Arab is a cunning
fellow, whose only respect is for brute
force. He exercises it himself over
every possible victim, and expects the
same treatment from his superiors

When the Webb Kenyon law, removing
the special privileges Of interstate COM
merce from the liquor traffic was passed
over the veto of President Taft early In
1913, long step forward was taken to-
ward making prohibition effective in
dry" territory. 1t is true that the law
carries no penalty for its violation, and
that the burden of proof and the question
Of penalty are left entirely with the states.
The attorney general of the United States
has held that the law is not enforceable In
the federal courts and the supreme court
Of Delaware has ruled that the law is not
enforceable IN that state. AS for the con-
sdtutionality of the law. this question has
not been passed upon by the federal su-
preme court.
On the other hand the law has estah-
llshed that interstate shipments of liquor
are under the sole jurisdiction OF the state
into which they are consigned; thus Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire's makers
and shippers of liquors into Maine, at any
time Maine decides to act summarlly in
defense Of her proilibitory law, can not in
terpose any effective opposition. Nor can
the prohibitory states of the south be sub
tect hereafter to the hostile action of Off
Gals of states to the north of them who
are in league with the liquor interests. But
more important than all this is the affirm
alton which the law makes that the indus
try of making and the trade of selling Ii
Quor are not in the same class with other
forms of manufacture and vending. They
are taken Que of the list Of serviceble and
defensible businesses and are refused the
protection Of fundamental law govern
ing interstate commerce. Moreover the
Webb Kenyon law distinctly challenges
the extreme state rights theory of the
SOUTH whose members in congress did so
much to pass it, for 1t denies the right of
a sovereign state to do as it pleases. pro-
vided that pleasure is hostile TO the well
fare of other states. Because Massachu-
sets continues to permit the traff, it's
c. IONS can not act in way to aid law
lessncss in Maine and plead as justifica-
ton that their acts are legal in Massachu-
Sets.
But what Of intrastate commerce in IL
quor? In prohibition state like Georgia,
for instance, which has Just begun to en-
force a dry" law, have the state officials
go. not only in seizure of wet goods in
transit, but in their confscation and de-
stru ctiOn? A decision of the district court
Of the United States, recently rs niered by
Justices Speer, Newman and Pardee has
provided an answer to this query which
the Anti-Saloon league and other temper
ance forces of the country are hailing with
much satisfaction. In the first place the
federal court did not deny jurisdiction In
dealing with an issue involving a state
proaibitory law and its enforcement

aged has taken on dimensions which
must impress the judiciary as they view

of the last 25 years, eliminating, as it does
now, In the rising demand for federal
constitutional amendment.
The times are such that, to a supreme

arise so often from intemperance It is
with confidence, then. that the temperance
forces of the United States await any
