TEMPERANCE FORCES
TO Do INVESTIGATING
Object to Pershings Order
Allowing Boys Light
Wines and Beer

Washington, Dec. 26. Temperance
forces are making their own investiga
tions of conditions in the American
camps in France in planning their
fight against General Pershing's or
der permitting his Sammies to light
wines and beers.
E. C. Dinwiddie, legislative chief
of the Anti-Saloon league, made this
known today while congressional dry
leaders prepared to extend to the
Sammies the present bone dry regime
in United States military camps.
Representative Randall cf Califor-
MIA, house dry leader, will introduce
next week a resolution calling upon
President Wilson to explain on what
authority Pershing issued his light IL
quor permit This will be preliminary
to submission of an amendment to the
present statute forbidding the sale of
liquors to American soldiers in uni
form. The amendment will seek to for
bid American army officers permit
ting soldiers to use any kind of liquor
"The temper of the people is de-
cidedly against such violations of the
spirit of all dry legislation of con-
gress.' stated Randall.
lney Will not slanu LOT IT,
Randall characterized Secretary Ba-
ker's explanation of the Pershing or
der that dry legislation affecting ar
mics on American soil as being null
in France, as mere camouflage."
81 am not going to pass judgment
on Pershing's order until / see the Of
ficial text of it, I" said Senator Shep-
hard, the senate dry leader. "But the
war department should have done as
the navy did-require every man in
uniform, no matter where he is, to be
absolutely dry
Dinwiddfe said:
t"The American people will not
stand for their sons being sent to
France with the prospects of their
becoming debauched-for that is what
the effect of the Pershing order wall
be. F."

Huns Cut Throat Of
American Sentry

With the American Army in France
Dec 26.--Information concerning Ger
man savagery has reached the troops il
one of a series of bulletins read to
them by the unit commanders and post
ed on the bulletin boards. Here is what
they heard:
" After raid by the Germans on
trenches held by American troops lone
sentry of - infantry was found with
his throat cut from ear to ear. He had
been surprised by an overwhelming
force of Germans, and must have been
so killed after capture.
e "Such brutality is familiar to old sol
diers who served against savages in the
Philippine campaign
Another bulletin tells the men how
the Germans in occupied sections of
France and Belgium are turning women
and children out of their homes into
the SHOWS, the buildings being then Civ
en- over to soldiers, horses and material.

NO MYSTERY ABOUT
| MYSTERIOUS VESSEL
Is Being UnIOaded and Beans
Most Deadly Thing
Found Aboard

! A Pacific Port, Dee. 26.-Unless some
startling and unexpected circumstance
bobs up, the Russian vessel Shilke, much
discussed as the "Bolsheviki mystery
ship" will leave this port in contin-
uance of her commercial errand, as soon
as the cargo is unloaded.
Work of unloading the shipment of
licorice root, beans, peas and hides con-
tinued today after the Christmas hoi-
day.
Federal officials, who thought it wise
to investigate wild rumors about the
vessel have found nothing unusual in
her status up to date and are inclined to
believe that no mystery or alarming fea-
lures will be uncovered.
The fact that the Shilka is a naval
vessel chartered to private firm Great
ed some interest but no excitement. Cap
tain Bedel explained to officials that
the vessel had been used as a transport
and was idle at the time of charter.
Scarcity of bottoms made it possible to
obtain the Shilka for the trip to the
United States.
Possibly 80 old rifles were found in
locker ON board the ship and this fact
gave rise to the startling story of vast
quantities of ammunition.
The authorities here are of the opin-
ion that the Shilka did not carry as
many effective arms as most merchant
vessels do these times on long voyages.
Since the Shilka came from an allied
country, the vessel has never been under
formal seizure. A guard was established
to keep away curious persons attempt
ing to board the vessel after sensational
reports were circulated.

Revolution So Many
Russians Don't Know
Which Side They're On

New York, Dec. 26.-Stories of
street fighting in Petrograd and Mos
COW and of buildings deliberately rid
died by machine guns were told here
today by Americans arriving from
Russia on the Norwegian American
steamer Bergensfjord.
None had a definite idea Of what
all of the fighting they witnessed was
about. There were so many "revolu-
tions" and ''counter revolutions" in
progress, it was impossible to keep
track of the various factions, they de-
clared.
Captain C. T. Williams of the Red
Cross in Rumania, told of the Metro
pole hotel at Moscow being riddled by
machine guns after all guests had been
warned to flee. He declared that a
group of soldiers Of some unknown
faction gave the warning that the
hotel should be evacuated. Then they
mounted machine guns on building
opposite the hotel and opened fire,
without any apparent object other than
to destroy the hotel.
John M. Larsen of Chicago, another
passenger, said he was taken prisoner
by the German soldiers when he
crossed the frontier from Denmark,
but was released after being held for
four days.
The Bergensfjord had 500 passengers
aboard, about $50 of whom were Rus
slams fleeing from the revolution-rid.
