NATIONAL HOUSE VOTES DRY
Bars All Liquor Imports in Prohibition
States-Wilson For Il.


States-Wilson For II.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Absolute pro-
hibition legislation took it's longest
forward stride in the nations history
last evening when the house. after
two hours of uproarous debate, approv-
ed by four to one majority senate
measure which would raise an ironclad
barrier against importation OF liquor
into prohibition states.
It is expected to receive the approval
of President Wilson within a week.
adding Immediately to the 'bone dry
territory about one third of the conti-
mental United States.
The provision is regarded as the
most far reaching that could be enact
ed by the federal government and as
sweeping as would be possible under
any method short OF a national prohi-
bition amendment. 1t would cut off
entirely liquor importations. amount
ing now to millions Of dollars annually,
into the large number of states which
have forbidden manufacture or sale,
but have permitted importation for
personal use.
Reaction is Feared.
- Advocates Of prohibition divided
among themselves over the expediency
of the step, some friends of the cause
declaring so drastic a law would have
a reactionary effect. In the same way
those who have opposed prohibition
were not unanimous in opposition
when the vote was taken. The roll
call brought cheers and cries Of bone
dry from all parts of the house. how
ever, and the result was greeted with
noisy demonstration.
The vote as officially announced was
321 to 72, but a recheck Of the roll
changed it to 319 to II. Party lines
were completely broken down and nu-
merous representatives from prohibi-
ton states were recorded IN the mega
tive. So large vote seldom is record
ed on any measure.
A provision barring liquor adver-
tisements from the mails in states that
prohibit such advertising Is included in
the measure, which came before the
house as rider to the annual post
office appropriation bill, inserted i>y the
senate last week on motion Of Senator
Reed. by a vote OF 55 to II.
Iowa members cast their vote as be-
flow:
For.-.Eeaacay, Sweet. Green

sayer, Good Steele (democraD.
Against-Hull, (repdblican.)
As Good as Enacted.
Altho the appropriation bill will go
to conference because the house dis
agreed to other senate amendments,
there is little possibility that the pro-
hibition amendment, concurred in
without change, will be altered. Mem
bers Of congress are taking it for
granted that President Wilson will ap-
prove It.
Altho some members had given it as
their opinion that the legislative fea-
lures added to the postal bill would
not be effective until July /. the effec-
tive date of the appropriations it car

says the agency report of the inter-
view:
"The case Is rather complicated. The
facts. nevertheless, are clear. The Ger
man authorities granted the American

the time OF the departure of Ambassa-

ard had been consulted with, were re-.

that they take the route by way OF
! Munich and Lindau. in order to facili-
tate their crossing tine border lronl

guarded by the military authorities.
almost all the American consuls
took advantage OF this offer and tho

soon.
The departure OF SO many persons
was not easy to manage in wartime
especially since so many different de-
sires had to be taken into consider
