War May Force
United States
Into Dry Ranks
International News Services:


WASHINGTON, April 12.-Anti-
liquor forces are standing today on
the threshold of their greatest vic
tory. The final drive of the prohi-
bition forces is nearing completion.
For under the lash Of war and
economic necessity. the administra-
ton is seriously considering the
suppression Of the manufacture of
alcoholic Hquors-for the duration
of the war at least.
Prohibition and temperance advo-
Gates are exerting every pressure
known 10 the art of convict On 10
bring this about. Once the manu-
facture OF liquor is stopped; once
the vast machinery of the distiller-
les is halted, they believe il will
never be resumed.
The moral side Of the question is
not being considered by the govern
ment officials. That, they believe.
is a moot questiOn-much 10 be said
for and agin" it. But facing a 40
per cent reduction in the wheat
supply strict remedial measures are
absolutely essential.
To this end. there has been placed
before Pres't Wilson and his cabinet
figures showing that by stopping the
manufacture of liquor there will be
an annual saving OF 500 600, 900
bushels Of grain clone. It is known
that the matter has been discussed
by the cabinet.
Some sort of drastic action against
the liquor traffic is assured. OF that
there can be no doubt Only the
form the action will take is being
debated.

the submarine.

fleet OF small vessels accomplished
a dual purpose. Not only will ii re

Davies away from his domestice ties,

Juanita from having any commupica-

Answering Mrs. Davies petition,
Juanita asserts that she was the pur-

with him, whereupon Mrs. Davis
burst into the place and made a scene

BILLY'S CROWDS
FALLING OFF

ATLANTA, Dec. 14-Atlanta cold
wave has played the wild with attend
ance at the Billy Sunday Tabernacle,
which has been Uttered wit hvacant
benches at every performance since
tie blizzard arrived, and which shows
no signs Of improving in this respect
as long as the weather continues like
it is at present.
The unwillingness OF Atlanta peo-
pie to go to the Tabernacle in extreme
cold weather with snow underfoot has
irritated the famous evangelist and
brought forth some caustic remarks
both from him and great ring master,
Homer Rodeheaver, who takes up half

people, and especially Atlanta people,
are more susceptible to changes in
temperature than any he has ever
found in all his travels. We have cold
feet in Atlanta, according to his view.
Every time the thermometer drops off
a few degrees we draw into our shells
and refuse to poke our heads outside
the door.
At a recent night performance
where 1900 people and 10000 vacant
seats made the Tabernacle look like
a mid-week prayer service in a small
town, Rodeheaver asked all from out
of-town to raise their hands, ana
about two-thirds of the hands went
UP.
Tell the Atlanta people when you
see them that the Tabernacle is as
warm as toast" said Rody, laughing
He was right so far as the Taber-
nacle is concerned, for it's as warm
as toast, thanks to the perfect ar
rangement in every detail. But the
long trin to and from the Tabernacle
is not heated, and that is where the
rub comes.
