NOT READY TO INTERPRET
PROVISIONS Of DRY LAW
United States Attorney Laskey to
Await Specific Case Presented
for Consideration.

United States Attorney Laskey will
not announce an opinion on the ques-
ton of the applicability of the Reed
bono dry" amendment to the District
of Columbia until case Is presented
to his office which calls for an interpre-
tation of the law. Mr.. Laskey admitted
that a number Of inquiries had been
made to him concerning the question
of whether or not 1t would be uniaw-
ful for users of intoxicants to import
liquor into Washington for personal use
and that he caused an inquiry into the
matter to be made by one Of his as
sistants.
Declines to Be Quoted.
While Mr. Laskey declines to be
quoted in the matter. it is generally
understood about the courthouse that
the opinion entertained by the prose-
cutor is that the wording Of the amend
trict Of Columbia. since Congress nam
ed only states and territories and did
not add the words" and the District OF
Columbia"
1t is stated, by the United States Su-
preme Court in which it has declared
that when Congress intended to make
a law apply to the National Capital It
always said SO in express terms. and
since it did not do SO in this instance
it is fair to assume that Congress
meant to exclude the District.
Action Of Congress.
This intention Of the legislators
would seem to be apparent from the
discussion in Congress while the Reed
amendment was under considera ton.
Representative Abercrombie Of Ala
bama offered an amendment adding the
words "or the District Of Columbia" !"
but Chairman Noon of the post Office
committee moved the previous ques-
ton, and the chair announced that the
motion had the effect of cutting out
the Abercrombie amendment. and the
Reed amendment was adopted in that
form.

WAVES LOOK LARGER
 THAN ACTUAL SIZE
(St. Louis Globe-DemocraD

We hear many people who have no more opportunity of judging than the fact that they have been passengers on a steamer, speaking of waves roll ing mountain high" Of course, a lit tie reflection would show that this is not true The passengers in an ordin- ary steamer are not allowed to go on deck when seas are raging. Probably few would wish to, and fewer still are capable. under the circumstances, of observing the height of waves.
 The cOmmonest cause of waves is the friction of the wind upon the sur face of the water. Little ridges first appear and increase as the force con tinues until they become most formid- able.
 In rounding the Cape of Good Hope
 where the prevailing westerly winds have nothing to break their force for
 thousands of miles, there are often
 great swells, which are a third of a
 mile, or more, from crest to crest But these are not so dangerous or troubles some to sailing vessels as the shorter seas.
 Twenty feet in height from crest to bottom, is a big sea-even for sailors. The great wave, or bore, at the mouth of some rivers, is derived from different cause from that which ere ates ocean waves. Bores are caused by the influx of the tide from the sea. 1 counteracting the current of great rivers, where the latter part of their course is little, if at all, above the level 1 of the ocean. The collision of these l forces is sometimes tremendous and attended with loud roarings, as at the mouth of the Amazon, the OrinOco. | the Hooghly the Severn and in the | Bay of F'undy.
 | Great waves have often carried away the most soIidly built lighthouse. and there is perhaps, no more triumphant | work of engineering than when light house is made to stand in particular i ly difficult and dangerous place against 1 the incessant efforts of the sea, reused | to all it's fury.
 | Captain Scoresby's observations on l the height of waves long ago proved l that in the heaviest Atlantic storms, | the waves very rarely exceeded forty | three feet from hollow to crest, the l distance between crests being 800 feet | and their speed about thirty three 1 miles an hour. More recent observa- l tions have shown that Atlantic waves may reach forty eight feet.
 At Kura chee, in India, waves were measured, on the breakwater which were about forty feet above the sea 1 level
 In Wick bay. in Scotland, celebrated for heavy seas, some have been ob served of forty feet in height, but this is uncommon. It was estimated that ] one of the great rollers, which came about every ten minutes, poured over the breakwater at Wick, with mass ! of 40,000 tons of water Blocks of con-
 crete were carried completely away i As to the depth to which wave ac-
 tion extends the knowledge is uncer-
 tain Shell fish, which are known to
 live at depths of fifty or sixty to 150 feet are thrown upon the shore by
 heavy storms, and the bottom is often
 much disturbed at the depth of fifty

 lation of Germany consigned to the agencies named by the United States in
 Germany, which were to see that the
 food was received and was distributed to the civil population.
 In the meantime the mines on the German coast had destroyed two Amer ican ships, one called the Carib and the other the Evelyn, both loaded with cot ton for Germany
 In America, congress refused to pass B law to put it in the power of the President to place an embargo on the export of munitions of war.
