ROOSEVELT WANTS TO GO
Ready TO Head Division for Service
in France

in France
New York, April Cool, Theodore
Roosevelt issued a statement last
night in which he declared that no
"unwise precedent" would be created.
as has been suggested, in permitting
him to raise division for active ser
vice on the French front The Ameri-
can people" asserted Col Roosevelt,
are united behind the president in
the determination TO wage effective
aggressive warfare for our right and
for the rights of humanity and ciYili
zation.
y believe that cur people now rea-
lie that the system OF universal mill
tary service is the only effective and
tho only absolutely democratic system.
I of course, most earnestly hope for
the passage Of the legislation estab-
fishing the principle Of universal. obli-
gatory military service and training.
In addition ! believe that the Ameri-
can people desire that in the imme-
diate future we send abroad an ex-
peditionary force. 1t is an excellent
ard indispensable thing to raise money
for and furnish supplies to our allies.
This Of course, must be done. The
American people wish to do their own
fighting They do not wish merely
TO pay others to fight for them. They
believe that we owe it to ourselves
and 20 the national honor to send
fighting force of at least an army
corps under the American flag to the
front at the earliest moment This
army corps should be commanded by
one OF our first class regular major
generals. 1t might consist of three,
or perhaps only two divisions.
81 have asked permission to raise a
division which would be in this army
corps apd under its commander. No
unwiso precedent can possibly be Gre
ated by permitting an expresident of
the United States of previous military
experience to raise such a division
and to serve with 1t at the front under
the command Of the general who
heads the army corps"

LONGEST BAR is NO MORE.
Prohibition Has caused Dismantling
Of Liquor Dispensing Counter

Prohibition has brought about the
iismantling OF the longest bar in the
world. which, in the wet days. did
duty at Manning. Iowa. The liquor
counter was SO feet long, built in
the shape of a horseshoe in build
ing 100 feet long.
Since the coming of prohibition the
tar has been used for the selling of
soft drinks. but the proprietor found
this business Improbable. and the
building now shelters general store.
In former years Manning had many
saloons Then the Moon law was
passed AMI this reduced the number
to two. The city council adopted
5000 license and gave one man the
monopoly. Despite the excessively
high license his profits were very
heavy.
The dsmartltng of the bar is taken
10 mean that the vets have given UP
all hopes OF bringing saloons back to

DISTRICT PHYSICIANS
ASK FOR MORE SALARY

y request was made Wednesday
night to the finance committee by the
city district physicians. six OF whom
appeared in person, for an increase
in salary commensurate with the IN
crease in their work since the an
neXed territory was taken IN ny the
city. The city employs seven physl-
clans to care for the INDECENT poor
and to also mae tour OF 1hspec-
ton of the city schools in search or
contagious diseases. The salary pald
these men has been $900 per year, and
when the annexation took place in
1914 great deal more work was ad-
ded to the routine, but no increase
in salary.
DIR. r. T. Ruckor ono of the physi-
clans. told the committee ne mad pald
about 400 calls on poor patients III

calls had totalled over 4,40O. Each
doctor is required to visit certain
number of schools in his district. and
examine such children as the teach-
ers may suggest As the city now
has forty-three schools in the sys-
tenn, this work is greatly increased.
The doctors merely asked the con-
sideration of the committee, and did
not set any fixed amount for raise
They were told that the admins
trative board had this matter IN
charge and that the committee had
received no Recommendation from the
board and consequently could not act
The delegation OF doctors stated that
they will wait on the board today and
secure its opinion of their needs with
whatever recommendation possible

The effect OF the so-called Reed
amendment. If IL should be finally en-
acted into law, would undoubtedly be
TO hurt the cause of prohibition. and
those friends of prohibition in the
senate who SUPPORTED it did not. |
think, fully understand what its effect
would be.
In practically all of the states
which have adopted prohibition there
have been limitations in their laws

liquor for personal use to those who

ticable to make the law too drastic
and absolute at the beginning and
ii has been considered best TO let such
laws. by gradual processes. reach the
'boue-dry' stage.

Impossible any such limitation and
would put 1t out of the power of any

1T is so drastic that it would UNI
questionably have The effect of injur-
tion in any state. In Kentucky, for
instance, when the issue of statewide
prohibition comes, 1t is probable that
the proposed law or amendment
would provide for q limited personal
use, as has been done in other states
which have adopted prohibition. and
leave it to further legislation to fur

1T can he easily understood that
the liquor Interests believe that their

amendment in Kentucky, or in any
other state. would be greatly in
creased If the amendment is made as
severe and drastic as possible There
is no reason for congressional enact

cause the opinion of the supreme
court uphofding the constitutionality
of the Webb Kenyon act gives the
power to each state TO regulate this
matter as it deems best.
Another objection to this amend
ment is the fact that its purpose was
to iniure the chances of the passage
of the Jones amendment, to which 1t
was offered as an amendment.

SCENES
IN PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, Feb. 22-Dsorterly
scenes occurred in the southeastern
part of the city populated largely by
foreigners today when bands OF women
made demonstrations against dealers
that have raised food prices
In a melee in which stores were
being attacked. a woman was knock I'd
down and trampled upon. She was
taken to a hospital with a broken leg.
The police dispersed the crowd without
any serious injury being done. Minor
disorders occurred in other streets OF
the foreign quarter.
Todavs demonstrations were the re-
suit Of a meeting of women at which
1t was decided TO bovcott dealers who
increased prices. Women with bottles
containing kerosene are alleged to have
poured the oil on meats fish and vege-
ia bles displayed by dealers and to have
attacked curb merchants and pushcart
vendors.

Indiana's dry bill is now a law, 1t
went back to the house, with the
senate amendments. for concurrence
February 7. and the amendments were
concurred In without dissenting
voice. The bill was sent to Gov
ernor Goodrich. who signed II at
eleven o'clock Friday morning. Feb
ruary 3.
The vets abandoned all hope of
doing anything with the bill in the
house. for the senate amendments
We're of such character that no SQUAD
bles could be raised. The liquo.. men
have announced their purpose to test
the law in the supreme court. but
they have little hopes, as Is indicated
by the fact that many of them are
casting about for other locations
where the prohibition sentiment is
not so pronounced, while still others
Will prepare soon to go into other
lines OF business
1t became known with the signing
of the bill that all except two sections
of the law will become effective as
soon IA the law is promulgated. 1t
had been the understanding that the
measure would have no effect until
April 2. 1918. The two sections refer
TO the date that actual manufacture
and sale of liquor shall become eff
fective and make provision for pre-
vention OF shipments into Indiana.
X. C. Minton, Anti-Sa1oon- league
attorney. said that the law as soon az
promulgated will make the sale of
liquor unlawful in all places except
saloons All drug stores handling IL
quor will have to dispose of their
stocks Immediately.
Rebates Not Necessary.
Minton and other attorneys hold
that county authorities will not be
required TO rebate to saloonkeepers
amounts for their ruexpired licenses
as Is the case under the local option
law. If this holds many saioonkeep-
ers will n { wait until the last mo-
ment to shut up saloons, but will close
as soon as their licenses expire.
Another nail was driven in the II
quor coffin Thursday. February 8,
when the state senate. by a vote Of
giving limited suffrage to women.
Nineteen Republicans and thirteen
Democrats favored the measure. II Is
expected 10 pass the house.
The bill qualities women TO vote
for all officers not named tn the con-
stitution, including presidential cleo
tors, members OF the appellate court
and attorney general. Most import
ant OF all, it gives women the right
to vote in selecting delegates to the
constitutional convention, and this is
a highly important victory for the
drys. for prohibition is one OF the
questions that will come before the
convention. Passage of the bill in
sures dry control of the convention.
It also means the election OF dry law
enforcement officers.
Preparing for Prohibition.
City officials are beginning to pre-
pare for the coming of prohibition in
sofar as 1t affects city treasures. In
Indianapolis II is conceded that the
loss of saloons will decrease the reve-
nues by s34o, 900 "A year. but sugges-
tons already have been made whereby
