THE CABARET


And the reek of tired food;
The scent Of tainted cigarettes;
The glare Of bilious lights;
A thousand tables wedged so close together
That elbows touch strange elbows,
While the shril intmacies and witcss badinage
Of heterogeneous mob
Fight with the jar and syncopated jange
OF yioins and punished piano,
And that strange scavenger collection
Of tins and boxes, whistles, hooters, bells,
Which, pitiess in their incessant urge,
Goad dull-faced sheeplike joyless crowd
TO wagge wriggle and twist,
Dumping and collding that small slippery square
That draws a thin dividing line
Between the mongerng Of false JOY
And sanity. CosMo HAMILTON

There sounded the report Of a gun

An obscure priest. Many Of my broth
ers are buried In Mexico. However,
I shall do as you WISH"
As the day wore on Alaire realized
even more clearly the fact that she
was Longorio's prisoner. His men, in
spite of their recent debauch, kept very
good watch over her, and 1t was plain
that they would obey his orders, no
matter how extreme. It occurred to
her finally that he was staying away
purposely. In order to give her q fuller
appreciation Of her position-so that
she might beat her wings against the
cage until exhausted.
Afternoon came, then evening, and
still Longorio did not return. Father
oAialley could give scant comfort;
Dolores was positive trial.
Half distracted, Aiaire roamed
through the house, awaiting her cap
tors coming, steeling herself for their
final battle. But the delay was trying;
she longed for the crisis to come, that
this terrible suspense might be ended.
At such an hour her thoughts natu-
rally turned to Dave Law. and she
found herself yearnlng for him with
a yearning utterly new. His love had
supported her through those miserable
days at Las Palmas, but now 1t was n
torture; she called his name wildly, pas
sionately. He knew her whereabouts
and her peril-why did he not come?
Then. more calmly, she asked herself
what he. or what anyone. could do
for her. How could she look for sue

It was futile to deny him entrance. she

war plans until the nation is bone
dry.
II the bill had left the expediency
of prohibiting the use OF food stuns
in the manufacture OF liquor or beer
to President Wilson's discretion, all
ends would have been served and
practically the one objective would
be gained-that of food conservation.
There are influences at work to
hamper the United States In the con-
duct of this war. Some of them are
receiving orders directly from Will
helmstrasse. Probably the prohibi'
ton forces at Washington are being
used by these very agents.
The Lever bill primarily is to con-
troll food so that our allies may be
kept supplied and at the same time
illegitimate speculation in the neces-
stiles of life may be curtailed or prac.
tically eliminated.
Our first duty is to win the war.
Whether the nation goes bone dry ia
a matter of secondary consideration
just now. The various states seem
to be settling the liquor issue without
federal Intervention. Why then this
determination to delay an urgent war
measure until the issue of prohibition
Is settled?
If Lincoln had freed the slaves be-
fore he took up arms to preserve
the Union, the war doubtless would
have been prolonged many years.
The nation is fairly well agreed
that the liquor evil must be wiped
out and progress prohibition has
made should satisfy any but the rad
icals that the days of John Barley
corn are numbered. But the prolib-
itionists are not making permanent
progress by their present unyielding
attitude.
President Wilson should be given
plenary powers over the liquor traf-
fc. s' '-.
If national prohibition is war
measure, the issue should be fought
out at once on its merits in separ.
ate bill. Nothing can be gained by
begging the issue until after the war
by the kind of prohibition the amend
ment to the Lever bill proposes,
