PROHIBITION
is NECESSARY
Ex-Governor Foss Declares Liquor
Question is Most Important
One of All Just
Now,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
BOSTON, May War prohibition
will solve Americas food problem
more quickly than "feverish garden
ing in park and yard and dismantled
lawn" in the belief of former Gov
ernor Eugene N. Foss, of Massachus-
etts.
In a statement to the United Press
today, Floss declared that war pro-
hibition is the only path that will
bring civilization out of the woods. "
He asserted national prohibition is
the biggest issue before the nation
today and favored its extension to
our European allies.
THE United States could make
good the whole worlds deficit and
have millions of bushels of grain 70
spare for the better feeding of les
own people, if it should put out the
fires in the breweries and distilleries
and pour into the bakeries grain
hitherto used in making firewater,"
said Foss.
"England's capital mistake has been
the feeble, temporizing, nerveless
way in which she has sidestepped the
drink menace. A dry England could
have snapped her fingers at the sub
marines. me question lS up 10 US
whether we shall follow England's
folly or Russia's wisdom. 1t is the
children's food which is being rotted
into beer and then carted in great
auto trucks every morning FROM
suburban brewerfes to city saloons.
That's the English way in war times.
How long shall it continue to be the
American?
There is no doubt of 1t. War pro-
hibition is the burning issue Of the
immediate present. We are bound to
have it and when it comes we should
insist on a rider 10 1t. No American
grain should be shipped for brewing
or distilling in English, French. Scan
dinavian, even Belgian malt cellars
and mash tubs. We should in this
particular place an unyielding embar-
go on Europe"

close questioning of Wolf Hirsh, for

Hirsh, with George Neiringer, an

Hirsh according to the police. de-
clared he was engaged in the Ger

"pulled good stunts" in London and
Petrograd This is being investigated.

Letters were sent last night to
influential men in the east in close

to Keokuk on their way from Spring

Lincoln's tomb.
Time is Limited.
The commission will of necessity
make their tour of the country short,
according to information available
from Washington today, and will
visit Chicago, st. Louis and Spring
field. 1t is a possibility that the dam
may prove strong enough attraction
for the commission to stop over
here.

sion expressed the desire to accept
many of them, but because of the
very limited time at their disposal
and the large amount of work to be
done In Washington, it was necessary
to condne their absence from Wash

and to arrange their schedule so
that invitations could be accepted

JEWISH DESCENT"
Claim Made Regarding Kerensky by
Citizen of Des Moines.

Des Moines, Ia, August IT,
Kerensky, the man of the hour in
New Russia, is of Jewish descent, ac-
cording to a statement given to a
newspaper of this city, by Bernard
B. Burg, native Russian and form
er superintendent of the Highland
Park College trade and engineering
shops.
In the opinion of Mr.. Burg, who
is a naturalized American, Russia
will eventually stand forth as the
worlds ideal democracy. It is also
his belief that Russia will select for
her leaders from the classes who
were oppressed by the autocracy.
Forces long dormant will grad
ually create the issues which will
give Russia a prominent position
among the nations of the earth, Mr..
Burg contends.
1T is a big task, but finally will
come to pass" he said. "And the
men who have come from the OPP
pressed races, I believe, will do
much toward it's ultimate develop
ment."
