Washington, Dec. 24-A letter from
Theodore Roosevelt favoring wartime
prohibition not only for fighting men,
but for citizens working on railroads
and in mines, factories and shipyards,
was made public today by DR.. Clar-
ence True Wilson of the national tenl-
perance board. Answering a letter
from Dr. Wilson, Colonel Roosevelt
wrote that he had favored prohibiting
the United States food grains for
manufacture of insvxicants at the
outbreak of the war and added
Neither the men in the army nor
the men engaged in doing vital work
for the army in connection with rail-
roads, factories, mines and shipyards
should be allowed to waste strength
and health in drink at the time. The
same reasons that render 1t necessary
to prohibit the sale of liquor to SOL
diers In uniform, or within given
number Of miles from military camp,
and to stop its use on battleships, APP
ply to extending similar protection for
all citizens engaged in the work Of
railroads, factories, mines and ship
yards.
Il may mention that my sons. who
are now in France, write me most
strongly Gust as General Pershing
expressed his public opinion most
strongly as TO the harm done to the
men of the army by permitting the
sale of liquor to them, stating that
they believe in absolute prohibition
for army in war time-ane one of
them adding that his experience has
made permanent prohibitionist Of
him.
Il wish your board every success in
it's effort to stop all waster of food,
men, labor and brain power during
these days when the nation needs
every energy of every man at his best"

BAKER CONFIDENT
NEW COUNCIL IS
MASTER STROKE
Will Coordinate Work of War
Department and Take Bur-
den From Shoulders of Much
HanaSsed Secretary,


Washington, Dec. 24.-The newly
created council of high officers in the
war department will become one OF
the most important Of the war
agencies of the government if Secre-
tary Bakers plans are carried out.
This military cabinet, it was learned
today, will guide the secretary in the
decisions he must make on questions
vital to the welfare of the army and
the prosecution of the war.
Organization of the war council has
not been completed. The five general
officers now constituting its member
ship are meeting every cay, however,
to go over with Mr.. Eaker the larger
problems before him that are pressing
for solution.
No statement has been isued cover
ing any point so far taken up by the
officers of the council. In his an
nouncement of the formation Of the
new body, however, Mr.. Baker laid
stress on the fact that additional Off
GERS would be added as necessary and
there are indications that more ap-
rointments are to come within the
next few days.
There are many questions of supply
and equipment which the secretary
must decide and heretofore he has
had only the individual and more
conflicting views of the staff or bu-
reau chiefs to guide him. The coun-
Gil provides a means for co-ordinating
these opinions and for the threshinG
out of any conflict of views.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec 24.--Fourteen
persons were killed and every other
one of the ia passengers on a Knox
vile street car was more or less hurt
here late today, when the car ran
away in tunnel which connects the
south side business district with the
south hills. After a wild dash of al
most Il mile through the tube the car
emerged at Carbon street and turned
over on its side. Hospital doctors
said that number of the injured
could not recover.
The car, which was of the latest
low floor steel plate type, was car
rying southbound shoppers when it
left the station at the north end of
the tunnel. A minute or two later
the trolley is said to have left the wire
and the lights went out, At the same
teImined, the motorman lost control
ard it dashed down the steep grade,
gaining momentum with every in
stant as the wheels slipped along the
wet rails.
Passengers Panic stricken.
AS it approached the intersection of
Carson and Smithfield streets, the
wheels refused to take the switches.
1t left the rails, turning over on its
side and piling the passengers in a
mass under the broken and twisted
plates.
The mouth of the tunnel is a short
curve, but so terrific was the speed
the car had attained that the wheels,
at this point, left the tracks.
Car Slides on Side.
The car instantly turned over on its
side, piling the passengers in a strug-
gl!n mass. 1t did not stop, but, tear
ing along the sidewalk, struck a tele-
graph pole. The roof was ripped off
and men, women and children were
scattered along the roadway. Even
then the wreck continued on it's way
and finally brought up in a little con,
fectionery store near Smithfield
street.
Early reports placed the number
of dead at seventeen, but careful can
vass of the hospitals and the morgue
showed that fourteen had been killed
outright eight of whom were women
and one little girl. Some of the bod
les We're scarcely recognizable and
Identification proceeded slowly.
