Chicago. Jan. 1I.--When the Nation
al Commission of the Prohibition par
ty completed today's session the prop
osition TO amaIgamate with any ma :
tor political party which would incor-
porate prohibition in its platform
seemed doomed. although another ses-

the situation.
The question. however. was nut
squarely up to the committee today by
Oliver W. Stewart who advocated the
merger plan, but he was voted down.
Those opposing Mr.. Stewards resclu.
ton held that II would be wise TO wait
until 1920 to see If William J. BRYAN
would be able to swing the Democrats
to prohibition.

fantry OF the new National Army, en-
camped at Camp Mcclellan, Admission,
Ala, who was taken i'll with pneu-

improved condition, according to in
formation received in letters from his
friends. An official statement issued
by the attending physicians was to the
effect that the young man had what
is known as lobar pneumonia, and that
his condition was not regarded as
serious, although a report was circu-
lated about the city from some source
that Corporal Popham was suffering
Of double pneumonia and was practi-
cally at the point OF death. This was
entirely erroneous and the friends Of
young Popham are glad to learn that
his conditions favorable.

A LIE NAILED
Army Men iii Of Pneumonia Not Denied
Admission to Naval Hospital Here

For some days rumor has been
current in Annapolis TO the effect that
two Of the army men at the rife
range, opposite the Naval Academy,
who are Obliged TO sleep on sacks of
straw on the ground, have contracted
pneumonia and were denied treat
ment at the Naval Hospital here.
This is another lie nailed. Yes
terday it was ascertained from Med
ical Director James c. Field, in charge
of the Naval Hospital, that no army
man has been refused when apply
ing for treatment at the Naval Hos
pital. That this hospital admitted
for treatment men of the army as we'll
as of the navy, and there is no truth
, In the rumor of the pneumonia
patients among the soldiers from
Camp Meade now at the rife range,
having been denied treatment because
his is naval hospital and not an
army hospital
Whether the men sleep on bags
illed with straw on the ground,
could not be ascertained. 1t is
know that rudely constructed bar
racks are being built across at the
range for the sailors, and it is prob
able that both soldiers and sailors are
occupying tents until completion OF
the "huts."

BILL TO INCREASE MgDDIES
NOW BEFORE CONGRESS

Committee And Urges Passage
OF Measure

Two young men from the District

portunity to attend the Naval Acad-
envy. A bill to increase the number
Of students at Annapolis is now be-
fore the Naval Affairs Committee, and
Secretary Daniels. appearing before
the committee this week, urged THAI
this measure receive prompt atten-
ton. II would allow five Midshipmen
for every Senator and Representative
and Delegate in Congress, two from
the District OF Columbia, one from
Porto Rico, fifteen to be named by the
President and one hundred to be APP
pointed from the enlisted men each
year
But, as only about &c per cent OF
those admitted finish the course, it
would leave about 1900 Midshipmen
in the Academy
The Secretary added the Navy had
grown to such an extent that it will
be necessary to continue this al
lowance of Midshipmen at least four
years after the close of the war to
provide a complement of officers for
the vessels Of the Navy.
