Sadness Among Saloon Men
Over Terms of the Dry [ aw

A feeling Of sadness is felt by the three
score and more proprietors Of saloons and
roadhouses throughout Prince GEORGES
county today. Most of them had anticI-
pated the enactment of a dry law Of some
kind. but until yesterday had felt certain
that II would not be made effective until
next May. the beginning OF the license
year in the county. and a number OF them
thought it might not be operative until a
year elapsed
Joseph H. Blandford, jr., author of the
bill. however. insisted that the law would
only be made effective by placing the
county in the dry column at the time
Washington becomes a dry city. Anti
saloon forces throughout the state and this
city backed him in his efforts, and at no
time. II is stated, were any OF them in
doubt about the outcome.
The bill was passed in time to prevent
number of Washington saloonkeepers
from investing money in saloon prop
erty in Prince Georges. it is stated, sew
eral of them having sought to make
deals there Two Washington saloon
keepers already have invested there,
but should the governor sign the bill,
which seems assured they may seek
business places in Baltimore or else
where.
In many Of the county churches to-
morrow. it is stated. the dry county
proposition will be discussed, and the
members Of the legislature who SO
earnestly supported Delegate Blandford
will be commended.

RED CROSS TO MANAGE
RELIEF WORK IN FRANCE
Gen. Pershing Orders Amalgamation
of the Organization With Clearing
House Intermediary.

Nv the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 23.-The amalgamation
of the American clearing house. one OF
the chief institutions for handling the
vast supplies contributed by America,
with the American Red Cross has been
decided upon by Gen. Pershing. The
transfer has already begun, and the
organization Of the clearing house and
all its assets Will be in the hands of
the Red Cross by September !. The
clearing house has been the inter
mediary between 5000 societies and
contributing individuals in the United
S:ates. and has handled $4,000. 900
francs worth of food and clothing and
il ,000. 900 francs in cash. All its adj
ministration has been by American
volunteers under the presidency OF IL.
Herman Harjes and the business man
agement of II. c. Beatty. who becomes
director general Of the merged bodies.
New Organization in Charge.
The new organization with which the
clearing house combines is the Ameri-
can Red Cross for France and Belgium,
which recently arrived with Mai Gray
son Murphy, member of the war
council. chief commissioner. and
James H. Perkins as assistant The
work Of the Red Cross has now been
divided under the following heads:
Military affairs, engineering. social
conditions. civil affairs, transportation.
finance information. with experts
heading each branch.
The amalgamaton Is but one por-
ton of the constructive co-ordinative
work with which Gen. Pershing has
been busying himself since his arrival.
AS one Of his first tasks he found 1t
necessary to combine, centralize and
subordinate to one authority the nu-
merous missions of q military charac-
ter that have arrived at one time or
!another.
1t has been going on for a full week
and the French ministry Of war has
been notified that all requests upon it
from missions or groups of any kind
must and will come through American
headquarters. The result sought is to
eliminate confusion and duplication of
effort Each mission will work under
the authority Of one head.
Why U. 8. Soldiers Are Desirable.
The longer the American military
ciate the importance which the French
attach to Americas decision to send
troops The soldiers are desirable. not
merely for themselves, but because
American participation in the war in
a military way has had wonderfully
inspiring effect on all the other allied
troops. A little example was cited by
a general stan officer who participa ted

reception given by American women to
French soldiers returning on furlough.
The men formerly sang a great deal.
always the Marseillaise by preference.
hut Iatterly this has been stopped. The
appearance Of Americans in uniform.
however, had an instant effect and tho
soldiers were reused to all their old
entlusiasm
Another task which the Americana
are facing Is the elimination moro and

bic. Every day makes them tee. more
and more the necessity Of Is free a

on the ground and eognizant of me

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
GETS GROWING SUPPORT
American Naval Men at Sebastopol.
Slav Army's Morale
Better.
By the Associated Press.

PETROGRAD, June e3.-1n spite OF
the disorders at Sebastopol and an
archist threats here, there are indica-
tions of marked Improvement in the
situation. with n growing support of
the government and a growing animos-
ity against the forces which make for
disintegration in the army.
The resolution adopted by the PAN
Russian congress of councils of depu-
ties Thursday is regarded as a signal
defeat for the extremists and pacitists,
the motion supporting the provisional
government being passed by majority
of more than four 10 one. A further
significant resolution admits that the
transfer Of all power TO the democracy
would weaken the revolution. This is
the democracy's own admission that il
needs the knowledge and experience OF
the educated classes
