American Leader and Gen. Petain Aid
In Relieving Distress. Thereby
Keeping up the Morale
of the Army.

That the work which the Red Cross
is doing in France to alleviate suffer
ing among the families Of Frenchmen
who are fighting at the front repre-
sentE q saving of !, 100000 men is the
opinion Of William Allen White, noted
writer and owner of the Emporia
(Kan.) Gazette, who has just returned
from France.
ct is not probable that our army in
France will get into the fighting to
any large extent until next spring.
The real war work that should interest
the people of America this winter is
of an economic rather than of a mill
tary character. It will be carried on
by the Red Cross in France, its pur-
pose being to relieve needy conditions
in the homes Of French soldiers who
are in winter quarters in the trenches
at the front.
Comfort Women and Children.
at is felt by the military officers of
both nations that nothing could do
more to keep up the morale Of the
French soldiers during the coming
winter than to bring comfort to wom-
en- and children at home. The soldiers
well cared for will take a great load
off his mind and hearten him to stand
up against privation which otherwise
might break his spirit and render him
Of no physical use.

therefore, that French soldiers will be

PENNSYLVANIA TO BE BATTLE.
GROUNDS FOR POLITICIANS.

Harrisburg, Jan. 24-(By Union
Associated Press)--From the highest
sources information comes to the ef-
feet the factional battle lines are
forming in Pennsylvania politics with
a view to fight that will have its
elimination in the primaries in 1918,
when candidates for Governor and
Congress will be nominated. Repub-
licans who have hitherto held aloof
from the Vare-B -Brumbaugh and the
Penrose factions believe that events
ually they will be drawn into the con-
test and forced to line up with one
side or tn eother. There are also dis
sentions in the Democratic party and
the leaders say that if either side is
going to win it means that men who
have remained neutral heretofore will
have to get into the fight and start
early on account Of the bitterness Of
the struggle. That the result Of the
fight may have an effect on national
politics is considered extremely likely.

small amount more than half Of the
total sum has SO far been collected,
leaving approximately $25,000 to be

The amount collected reached $27,-
900 this morning stated the City
Clerk, Sam Montgomery. The re-
mainder must be paid on or before
the first day Of February and he is
expecting grand rush of business
during the coming week which will
keep him pretty busy. The recent

William 0. Wood, general manager Of

away the wrath that has been evi-
denced against the growth Of traffic
outpaced the car service. It would be
a waste Of money to buy new equip

almost completed. The courtesy, he
believes, will still be useful when the

WILL SAVE THREE
BILLION FRANCS
Annually by Decision of France to
Suppress the Traffic in Alcoholic
Drinks.

Paris, Jan. 24-(Cor. of The Asso.
ciated Press)-Since the governmen,
announced its decision to suppress
traffic in alcohol for the remainde,
OF the war, number of statisticians
have come forward with figures show.
ing that the French people may save
3,o0O0O0,O00 francs annually to help
pay off the interest on the war debt
IT the losses now incurred from indul-
gence in alcoholic beverages are COM
pletely eliminated. The figures take
into account not only the actual cost
to the consumer of alcoholic drinks,
but the cost Of crimes due to alcohol
ism, the distribution of charities to
victims of alcohol, and the loss Of
salaries through alcoholic illness or
idleness.
French people drink, altogether per
annum and per capita 40 gallons Of
beer, rs gallons Of wine, gallons of
cider, gallon of alcohol pure or 2
gallons computed in alcoholic drinks,
3 quarts of bitters similar to absinth,
and quart of liqueurs.
The proposed prohibition Of the sale
Of alcoholic beverages will apply to
all those testing more than 15 de-
grees or Is per cent. alcohol. 1t will
not apply to what are called in France
"hygienic beverages" such as wine,
beer, cider. It will exclude all bran
dies, vermouths, and distilled liquors
as they are now sold.
A great many Of the distilled
liquors testing more than Is per cent.
alcohol, it is anticipated will be re-
duced so that their sale may be con-
tinued.
The prohibition will apply to all
whiskeys as we'll as rum and gin.
Whiskey drinking had grown i'm
mensely in France during the 20
years preceding the war. American
as we'll as Canadian, Scotch and Irish
brands, have grown scarce since re-
strictions were placed on the trans
portation Of unnecessary commodities
and prices have already nearly doubl-
ed since the total prohibition Of al
importation Of alcohol in any form
excepting for the requirements Of the
munitions factories.
