Vermont and National Prohibition.

vermont ana NaClOnsai TTOHIDlCtoii
The adoption of the house of rep
resentatives Monday by vote Of 282
to 1913, of the resolution providing for
submission to the states of an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States which provides for ma
tional prohibition, was followed by
prompt concurrence by the senate
Tuesday and a great victory for tenn
perance, so far as congress is con-
cerned, has been won.
On the final and decisive vote in
the house, Congressman Greene of
the first Vermont district voted
against the resolution, and Congress-
man Dale of the second district voted
for it. Accepting the proposition
that in every matter that comes be-
fore him, a congressman should by
his vote reflect the sentiment of his
constituents, Vermonters of the first
district can find no fault with Con-
gresham Greene's vote, for he can
statement, to the recent majority
vote in his district against the Perry
prohibition measure. From this
standpoint, Mr.. Greene can we'll defy
his critics, and he is also safe from
any charge Of inconsistency, for his
attitude upon the question Of prohib-
ition has never been ambiguous.
But when he defends his vote
against national prohibition with con-
tentions that it is not war measure
that Vermont can have its own bone
dry law whenever it wants to vote for
it, that state rights are violated, and
that the question is one for legisla-
tive enactment rather than constitu-
tional disposition, he is indulging in
rhetorical camoufage and presenting
arguments which do not pass the test
to which they are submitted by pres
ent-day conditions, sound economic
and business principles, and the adj
vanced ideas and convictions not only
of America, but the whole world.
While he has remained consistent
and has voiced the opinion of his own
immediate constituency, he has failed
to grasp the broader outlook which
declares against further compromise
with an admitted evil, an enemy to
the home, to society, to business eff
fciency and to the health, happiness
and welfare of the human race

Lemon Juice a Beautifler
How to prepare beauty cream at little cost. Say
lemon juice alone is too highly acid Try this
on face neck, arms and hands!

Many women use just the Juice Of
lemons to bleach or whiten the skin
and to bring out the hidden beauty

is acid, therefore irritating, and should
be mixed with orchard white.
At the cost of a small jar OF ordi-

full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex

of two fresh lemons into bottle con-

Care should be taken to strain the

Creel Says Press Has
Loyalty Responded

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1i.-George
Creel, chairman Of the Committee on
Public Information, tonight told In
diana newspaper editors that he is
not a censor and does not consider
himself such, but that every editor is
put upon his honor to observe the
rules Of voluntary censorship promul-
gated by the government.
~ am proud indeed to be able to
bear testimony that the faith has
been kept" he said. There have
been violations as a matter of course,
and papers holding TO the unwritten
agreement have suffered injury from
papers less careful and less honest,
but on the whole the press has re-
sponded in the same spirit of unseltish
service that animates the firing line"
In his first public address he has
made since war was declared Mr.. Creel
said that in the nine months since the
committee was formed an organization
has been perfected that not only
reaches into every community in Amer
lea, but to every country in the world.
I'm this and every other land" he
said, eve are making a fight for public
opinion, that great force upon which
rests the strength Of armies and which
in the end decides between victory and
defeat in every struggle. If we have
seemed to be less than frank it is be-
cause our frankness was compelled to
wait upon results rather than that the
thing itself should be halted while we
boosted or excused"

Wilson Orders All
Alien Insurers Here
Get u. S. License

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-To guard
against transmission of information to
the enemy, President Wilson has issued
an order requiring foreign insurance
companies, Allied or neutral, doing
business in the United States to obtain
license from the Treasury Depart
ment before February /.
In explanation of the order and TO
get suggestions on regulations, Secre-
tary McAdoo to-day addressed letter
to the National Board of Underwriters,
American Institute of Marine Under
writers and National Workmen's Com
pensation Service Bureau, saying:
"The Secretary recognizes that the
conduct of business by insurance COM
panies makes it desirable that they
have information concerning risks
which they insure, and that this in
formation is in many cases of a char
acter that would make 1t of value TO
the enemy.
"While the license requirement will
only apply TO foreign companies, 1t is
recognized that this danger nav IN
some measure apply to American COM
panies. and the Secretary feels sure
that the patriotism of the American
companies will lead them TO cooperate
by voluntarily adopting regulations
that will guard against any important
information becoming available TO dis
LOYAL persons"

of the British government. Moreover,
the circumstances under which the in
Guiry was made allowed the conclusion
TO be drawn with the greatest proba
been informed Of this tep, and that il
had been sanctioned by at least the
most important of its Allies.
The German government was ready
in principle to answer the inquiry, and
10 do this two courses were open, an
indirect or direct reply.
"The decisive objection against an
indirect reply TO the medium of the
neutral powers was that any one-sided
presentation Of the German attitude,
even to a neutral mediator might con-
stitute a one-sided restriction Of Ger
man policy without any guarantee in
regard to the opponents attitude.
Direct Verbal Reply Favored
"That being so. direct verbal re-
ply through the intermediary appeared
20 be the most opportune course TO
follow.
"The trend Of subsequent events,
however, forced the conviction on the
German government that on the part
of our opponents nothing was being
done 10 facilitate such direct reply 70
the inquiry.
Regarding the utterances of Great
Britain mentioned by Foreign Secre-
tary Balfour about its readiness TO re-
ceive any communication from the Ger
man government, the first news of this
reached the German government only
in Mr.. Balfour's statement TO the House
Of Commons. A further step in this
affair was not made on the German
side"

Agreements Between Allies
Revealed by the Bolshevlki

Minister to Ambassadors in Paris and London III
Which Annexation of the Dardaneles and

friendship between Russia and Great
Britain.
"Haviug already given its promise
respecting the conditions Of trade IN
the straits and Constantinoplc. the
imperial government sees no objection
10 confirming its assent TO the cStab-
lishmcnt OF free transit through Con-
stantinoplo for all goods not pro-
ccedinC from or proceeding 20 Russia
and 10 free passage through the straits
for merchant vessels. Ia order TO
facilitate the breaking through Of the
Dardanellcs, undertaken by the Allies,
the imperial government Is prepared
TO cooperate in inducing those states
whose help is considered useful by
Great Britain and France 10 join in
The undertaking on reasonable terms.
The imperial government completely
shares the view Of the British govern
mert that holy Moslem places must
also in the future remain under an
independent Moslcm rule.
Would Create New States
at Is desirable to elucidate at once
whether it is contemplated TO leave
those places under the rule of Turkey,
the Sultan retaining the title Of Ca
liph. or 70 create new, Independent
states, since the imperial government
would only be able TO formulate ITS de-
sires in accordance with one or the
other Of these assumptions On IT'S
part. the imperial government would
regard the separation OF the callphate
from Turkey as very desirable. or
course. the freedom Of the pilgrimage
must be completely secured. The i'm
perial government confirms its assent
10 the inclusion Of q neutral zone OF
Persia in the British sphere of infiu-
ence. At the same time, however, IT
regards IL as Just to stipulatc that the
districts adjoining the cities of lSpahan
and Yezd, forming with them one IN
separable whole, should be secured for
Russia, in view Of Russian interests
which have arisen there. The neutral
zone now forms a wedge between the
Russian and Afghan frontiers and
comes up to the very frontier line Oh
Russia at Tulgager. Hence q portion
of this wedge will have to be annexed
TO the Russian sphere of influence.
"Of essential importance TO the I'M
perial government Is the question OF
railway construction in the neutral
zone. which will require further AMIGA
bic discussion. The imperial govern
ment expects that in the future its full
liberty of action will be recognized in
the sphere Of influence allotted to it.
coupled in particular with the right Of
preferentially developing in that sphere
its financial and economic policies.
Lastly, the imperial government con-
siders it desirable simultaneously TO
solve also the problems of Northern
Afghanistan, adjoining Russia, in the
sense Of wishes expressed on the sub
ject by the imperial ministry in the
course of negotiations last year.
