 Secretary McAdoo visited the capital today to make arrangements for push ing the authorization measure through the senate. He is satisfied with the outlook for it's passage in the house. The house ways and means commit tee, to which the bill was referred for mally reported the measure today with recommendation that it pass.
 In discussing the bill with the sen ate committee, Secretary McAdoo ex- pressed sympathy with a suggestion by Senator Shoot that all the $5,00O, ,OO0.- 900 in bonds to be authorized should not be issued at once, although there would be authorization for the total in thls legislation. It was suggested that the war might end within a few months and that it might be well to hold up the issue of part of it for several months. MT. McAdoo promised to give the committee specific informa tion on plans for raising revenue as soon as possible. The secretary said he believed s1,6O0, 900 900 could be raised through the taxes suggested ir addition to the amounts now raised by taxation. One new suggestion fol taxation was of admission tickets tC baseball games.

THE WORLDS OLDEST MAP

Postal routes of $500 years ago,
 when the parcel post and the circulat-
 ing library already had been in exist
 ence at least 800 years, are shown on
 the worlds oldest map, discovered in
 the University Museums Nippur tab
 lets by Dr. Stephen Langdon, the Ori-
 entalist from Oxford University. An-
 nouncement to this effect was made by
 the museum recently, and it was said that Dr. Langdon considered the map
 not only the oldest, but the best pre-
 served that has come down from an- tiquity. Dating about 1900 B. C., the map shows survey ofthe region about the temple of Nippur and indicates that the country was under intensive culti-
 vaton. Canals were numerous, serving for irrigation and transportation. They were the mail routes and tag has been found for a basket of books" or literary tablets sent from the library of the Nippur temple to a town about six miles distant, Shuruppek. Accord ing to Babylonian tradition, Noah lived
 at this town and built the ark there. The tag was used about 2300 B. c. The
 map shows that a field belonging to the king was smaller than that of the
 incantation priests. A field of reeds
 was open to the public. A large com mon provided a grazing ground for sheep and the villages were so close 1 together that the shepherds could hear ! the horn that, according to the laws of Hammurabi, was blown at a certain ! time of year to stop the grazing for a period.-Philadelph Public Ledger

society girls and diplomats from the nations in the Teutonic group have been features of the Washington so- cial season. Perhaps the most nota- ble was the marriage of Miss Cath crime Birney and Baron Wilhelm von Schoen of the German embassy. This took place a short time before relations between this government and Germany were severed
 Baron von Schoen is now at the City of Mexico, and his name has been linked with German intrigues in the Latin American states recently. He was at one time secretary of the Ger man embassy at Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 12-Indict-
 ment Of newsprint paper manufac- turers in New York today on charges
 of antitrust law violations gave federal tr tde commission members
 concern over it's possible effect oi, the plan proposed by the manufactur-

 The manufacturers, 1t Is under stood, have threatened to withdraw from the price fixing agreement if indictments came from the depart
 ment of justice investigation Publishers it is said have been di- vided in their attitude in the depart | ment of justices investigation.

 Somo publishers are hopeful the price fixing plan still may be put | through.

Money and National Defense

Ford, in offering the free use of his plant
to the government In case of war.
touches upon vital point.
Il cannot believe that war will come
said Mr.. Ford, "but IL IL does il Is then
our duty and the duty of every man to
help all he can, and not to make money
out Of the distress Of his country.
TT Is my firm conviction that war
would seldom occur if individuals did not
make money out Of war; They form the
interest which cultivates so-called patri-
otism, which alarms the fears of the peo-
pie and throws them into the greatest
of all calamities.
Real patriotism viii never seek TO
make money out Of the misfortunes of
the country. Real patriotism will cause
every man to contribute his share when
the country unfortunately falls into war,
contribute 1t without cent profit"
One thousand one-man submarines,
eighteen to twenty feet long, plus 5000
motors day, is What MIR. Ford says his
gigantic Detroit plant could turn out in
case of war.
The Mexican Petroleum company,
thru Mr.. Doheny, it's president, offers
the government five million barrels Of
fuel oil now in storage. Other firms
tender to the nation their plants and
services.
When war comes 1t is the supreme
test of national life. Everywhere the
gospel is preached that men should vol
unteer to give their lives for their coun-
try.
If life, why not money!
II human life is to be Communicated
to the last man. If need be. why not
capital to the last dollarf
Many fortunes were made In our
civil war. Huge profits have already
been reaped from this present war. The
ethics of war profits is questionable.
War means untold loss, calamity, dis
aster. No man should reap private
gain from the public misery.
The poor give their bodies 10 b
wounded or slaughtered; their families
are plunged into bitter hardship. II y
but right that the rich sacrifice also.
Ii speaks well for the patriotism Of
our country that great business con-
Germs are offering their services even ~
men are coming forward to give their
lives
We doubt not that, X the worst
comes the wealth Of the nation will vol
unteer for it's defense as eagerly as the
brain and Drawn.

Of all men for military service, such an

President Wilson Signs
a Greater Defense Measure

While the senate was in the throes of
articulation over the bill authorizing the
arming of American ships, the president
provided for a more sweeping and for
midable system of national defense by
afFixing his signature to the measure that
banisheS booze and booze advertising
from twenty-six states of the union.
Whisky is never neutral Processing
friendship and service, it is mankind's
historic foe; fiercely inimical to both in
dividual and national life.
No military preparation for defense
and no achievement of arms over an
European enemy could rebound as def
nitely to the credit of this country as the
overthrowing of the national curse and
abomination in majority of the states.
The country went into the war against
this ancient and treacherous power by
vote of the people. The people them
selves won the war. Not a president or
an ex-president or any political leader
sufficiently prominent to be nominated
for the presidency by either Of the two
leading parties with the single exception
Of the Hon. William J. Bryan, had the
temerity to lead the onslaught upon the
liquor power.
With reference to the severing Of dip
somaniac relations with King Alcohol,
nearly all the metropolitan newspapers
Of the country were pacifists at any price
so long as it was in conformity with
advertising card rates.
They submitted to the injection Of red
pigment into their blood and rallied to
the colors only when the last trench and

were going to be run over by the water

The preparedness vouchsafed by con-
gress and completed by the presidents
signature guarantees the nations maxi
mum of physical prowess in peace and

fifths of the national area, of the most
prolific source of industrial wastage,

The chief glory of keeping the fires Of
prohibition alive. until the cause famed
up brilliantly and triumphantly in con-
gress. belongs to the uncompromising
Prohibitionists and the heroic Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, who held to
the faith when it meant political exile,
business sacrifices and ridicule and re-
wings to do so.
The national defense Of which these
unrecanting crusaders were the prophets
and founders, was aggressively further
ed by the Anti-Saloon League with its
emphasis upon organization, campaign
adroitness and "expediency of righteous
ness"
