WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-President
Wilson, Secretary of War Baker. Sec

American Federation Of Labor have
given their approval of the bill intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Hoke
Smith, OF Georgia, providing for the

the National Committee on Prisons and
Prison Labor announced tonight.
The proposed legislation will make
possible the purchase OF personal
equipment for soldiers and sailors
made by prison labor, which heretofore
has been prevented by an executive
order of the President. The labor of
more than 100000 prisoners, in state
and Federal penitentiaries, the COM
mittee declared, can be utilized in max
ing necessary war supplies when a mar
ket is developed through the provisions
Of the Smith bill.
The proposed legislation will be pre-
sented on the floor of the upper house
early in January by Senator Smith. The

measure was gained through the efforts

Bolsheviki Troops
Take Two Towns

LONDON. Dec. 14.-Bolsheyiki troops
have occupied Tamanovka, near BEL
gorod, and Kalusa, according to
Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd.
Tamanovka was occupied by troops
from Petrograd. while Kaluga was capt
ured without much fighting. The coun-
ter revolutionary troops there were dis
armed and arrested and BolsheviH au-
thorties restored.
The commissioners with the Black
Sea fleet have telegraphed asking for
the immediate dispatch by land and
water of all Black Sea attachments now
ashore. They also ask for large
number of machine guns. The commits
sioners report that military cadets are
attacking Rostov with armored cars.
In the battle near Bielgorod, accord
ing to a Bolsheviki staff report, Gem
eral Kornilof's Cossacks, including a
death battalion" were defeated. They
retreated TO Vasileika.
In connection with thc battle at
Rostov the evening newspapers re-
port the Cossacks as victorious, the
Bolsheviki forces having retreated
across the Don River TO Nakhitchevan.
The staff report on the Bielgorod
fighting says that the Kornilof forces
lost 80 killed and so prisoners. The
report adds that General Korniloff has
disappeared.
A description of the Rostev fighting
says that shells fired by Bolsheviki
cunboats in the river missed their OBJ
jective, but landed in the barracks of
d Cossack detachment which had de-
cided to remain neutral, but which
fought for Kaledine when disturbed
by the shells. 1t is reported that Cen
eral Kaledine is prepared to negotiate
with the Bolsheviki in order to avoid
further bloodshed around Rostov.

Recruiting Stations,
Overtaxed, Forced to
Send Many Home
No Quarters for Some Men;
14,29l Accepted by the
Army Thursday

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Recruiting
machinery of the American army
showed signs Of breaking down tonight
under the enormous strain put upon it
by the thousands of men who have Of
fered for enlistment within the last
few days. In some cases recruiting
officers have found themselves without
means Of accommodating recruits and
have been forced TO discharge them and
close their Offices until the men already
in their charge can be distributed.
This means that many men of draft
age will fail in their effort to enlist
before noon tomorrow, after which
time they may join the regulars only
In their status as members Of the Ma
tional Army. Protests against turning
the men away have come, one from New
Rochelle, n. Y.
The recruiting list made public to-
day shows a total of 1921 men &C
cepted yesterday, which is probably
three thousand less than the actual
number taken in, as ten districts failed
10 report. Indications are that even
greater number applied to-day. AS no
quarters were available it was decided
at several stations TO send many of
the men home.
The navy has been limiting recruit
ing Tor many weeks to q fixed daily
average for all stations. Men in eX-
cess OF that number who are accepted
are sent back to their homes subject
20 call. Because of the far larger
number of applicants for army enlist
ments, il has been deemed impracti-
cable TO apply the same system.
The supplies Of clothing and other
necessary equipment for recruits have
been exhausted by the rush and it is
desirable, it is held. that the influx
should be distributed over longer
period of time.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. According
TO the Helsingfors newspaper "Huvud-

mittee of Russian soldiers in Finland

that the Russian soldiers cannot be

represents the Leninites in Finland

The Right of the Majority
In urging National Prohibition by Constitutional
Amendment it's advocates deny 1HE KlGH1 VI
THE MAJORITY TO RULE.
The Constitution of the United States provides for
t,oo methods by which it may be amended one is oy
the calling of State Conventions of specayelected DELE
gates to pass upon the proposed an1endment-a truly
popular method The other is to submit the amendment
to the Legislatures of all the States.
The Prohibitonsts HAVE NOT PROPOSED
THAT THE POPULAR METHOD SHALL BE
EMPLOYED. Their plan is to have the amendment
adopted by the Legislatures of THIRTY-S1X out OF
FORTY-EIGHT STATES
Under this proposed method of the National Pro-
hibition Amendment to the Federal Constitution, the
State of Nevada for instance with less than 100000
population would through it's Legislature be given
large voice as the TEN MILLION combined who
CHANGED to live in the State of New York.
1t would be the negation of our boosted Democracy
if more than SO per cent of population living in
twelve of the prosperous and hicky settled states
of the Union COULD BE OVERRULED this
question BY LESS THAN SO PER CENT because
the latter happened be scattered greater number
of sparsely settled States
Once adopted and made part of the Constitution
of the United States, National Prohibition would be
VIRTUALLY IRREVOCABLE. However short it
might fall of the results expected of it-whatever other
evils might arise because of it-however great its
failure might be in National way, it has been
in the State experimental coud be practically impossible to
reuoke it,. EVEN THOUGH AN OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION DESIRED ITS
REPEAL.

American Ambassador Fletcher has
issued a statement tending 70 correct

the American draft law to show that
aliens are allowed ample opportunity
TO establish before an exemption board
their right to exemption from military
service. The ambassador admits that
il is possible in the process of deciding
claims for exemption that some errors
have occurred, subjecting TO military
service some aliens in the United
States, possibly including a few Mex

many aliens. including Mexicans, did
not claim exemption and accepted SER
