;.es to legalize drafting many hundreds
cf thousands OF aliens in this country to

Before the time for a second levy the
necessary abrogations of treaties aud

der the draft law.
In every section of the nation an out

..ens is rising. Already il has reached
congress and forced action.
The McCumber resolution to draft
aliens is today before subcommittee
ef the senate foreign relations commit
tee. Under this resolution aliens may
be drawn into the army or deported up
ON refusal to serve.
Department Approves
The war department has approved thc
resolution, but the state department. has
pointed out diplomatic distractions in
specific treaties with half dozen coun-
tries preventing drafting their citizens
into the United States military service.
At the italian embassy today IL was
stated diplomatic negotiations wcTe nn-
der way to bring 10000 Italians Of mill
tary age in the United States, under the
provisions Of the draft. Az present
neither the Italian nor American gov
comments can lay hands upon them.
Each of the allies countries Is expect
ed to aequesce in the speedy nulffica-
tion of any old obstructing treaties and
agreements but whether they do or not
Officials here declare that congress may
sct--that laws supersede the treaties
Nations at war with Germany are hard
ly expected to object to conscSiption of
their subjects here.
Big Cities Protest.
The mail Of the war department. Is
flooded with bitter protests from cities
with largo alien population. They
claim that nearly every American VIII
be taken in the first levy from certain
districts with heavy alien population.
In Chicago, one.fourth Of the entire reg
istration is exempt as Aliens. In one
district Of 2,g23 registration, 2,l0s are
exempt as aliens, leaving only $40 AM
1,icans from which tosdraw 3f1 soldiers.

alien percentages. In Massachusetts %
Der cent of the entire population are
non-citizens; Illinois has 10 per cent;
Michigan, 10 per cent; Connecticut, "
Ter cent; California "a per cent, and
Arizona, 40 per cent.
The southern states have the lowest

kANSANS WANT SOBER NATION
BY Arthur Capper, Governor.

This is the age OF conservation. A
conservative policy that does not con-
serve nor foster nor protect the health.
thrift and happiness of the American
home--the source of all our strength
and vigor as a nation--is blind folly
and an unspeakable sham.
The saloon is the source OF nearly
all our human wreckage. Yet the ma
ton licenses and permits the institu-
ton to exist which makes the creation
OF drunken fathers and tho debauch-
cry of it's young men and women a
business, and which Is the recognized
source of nine tenths OF all Its misery
and wretchedness
The people are demanding Of con-
gress that the government of the
United States shall end its monstrous
partnership with this beast and shall
join them in Its determination.
1t Is intolerabie that the federal
government should continue to over
ride the sovereignty OF the many
commenwealths which have prohibit
ton laws. that for a consideration 1t
should connive with bootleggers in
defeating the will of the people by
licensing these outlaws to sell booze
in this forbidden territory.
The last defense of the saloon is
that liquor revenue helps pay the
taxes.
The truth is that the saloon is our
greatest public debt maker and our
greatest 'ublc burden.

DRUNKENNESS In Manitoba Falls Of 81
Per Gent; Other ORenscs.
Partial prohibition in Manitoba has
brought about a decrease Of more
than 80 per cent in crime since the
Macdonald act went into effect June
I. 1916. according to figures given out
at Winnipeg by ]. N. MacLean, chief
liquor license inspector. The fig,
ures are adduced from a comparison
of commitments to Jail during the
seven months prohibition has been in
force with the corresponding period
in 1915.
Drunkenness throughout the prov
ince has decreased more than 81 per
cent. From June I, 1915, to January
/, 1917, there were but col cases OF
intoxication in Manitoba. During the
same period in 1915 the number was
1882 cases
feet under the Macdonald act. Sa-
looms are eliminated, but residents
have the right to bring In liquor or
have it shipped in. There is no limit
to the quantity. Only they must not
give away. sell or barter 1t. In spite
OF this fact the law has operated to
bring about the conditions just noten.
According to Mr. MacLean men
who formerly stood at the bar drink
ing with friends are afraid to drink
at home under the watchful eyes Of
their wives and families.
During the operation OF the Mac
donald act there have been 214 con-
victions for attractions OF the statute.
There is very little bootlegging. Mr..
MacLean expects 1917 to show a de-
crease OF drunkenness Of e5 per cent
from 1915.
