RAIL EMBARGO ON LIQUOR
Anti-Saloon League Seeks War Order
From Priority Board.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The Anti
Saloon league leaders are trying a
new tack in their campaign against
booze.
The latest development is an effort
TO secure a ruling from the priority
board, of which Judge Robert S. Low
EFT is chairman. that would forbid the
use of railroad cars in transporting
intoxicating liquor, as a war measure.
This would be a f~ar-reaching and
drastic blow at the liquor traffic, but
there is no doubt, experts say, that
the priority board has the power to
make such a ruling, if it sees fit. The
theory upon which it is asked is that
the rolling stock is needed for wal
uses and should not be employed in
transporting intoxicating liquors,
since no benefit To the wal could come
from such traffic.

COLD BOOSTS COAL DEMAND
Indiana Requirements Now on the

indianapolis, Nov. 27.-An increase
in the demands for coal in Indiana
has been caused by cold weather,
according to figures made public at
the Office of Evans Woollen, state

so far been received from various
counties. This is more than fifty
cars yer the high mark of last week,

additional cars are expected in the
next two days.
Allen county led the list with a de-
mand for III cars. This great amount
will not be sent TO Ft. Wayne, Off

ASK SERVICE FLAG ROYALTY
Owner of Patent Demands Profit For
Privilege of Sales.

Cleveland, o.. Nov. 27.-Flag man.
ufacturers in Cleveland and other
cities are resisting payment of a 10
per cent royalty claimed by the Uni
ted Service Flag Company of Cleve-
land on all service flags. The flag
was designed by Robert L.. Queisser,
formerly captain in the Ohio national
guard. It's design was patented by
Mr.. Queisser, through a Cleveland
agent, Nov. 6. The company was in
corporated a few weeks ago.
The manufacturers question the
right of patent as the design and de-
clare that patent attorneys in Wash
ington and Cleveland have advised
them to ignore the claim for the
present.
1t is estimated that the patent
rights, on the basis of a 10 per cent
royalty. would net the company a
profit Of approximately $1,000 a day.

fore it is wrested from the enemy.
Strong bodies of Turks are holding
the high ground west of Jerusalem
and covering the Observation-Disclosures

choose to fight for the city some des-
perate fighting may occur before it
is captured.

formation reaching the state depart

communication with Berlin.
The character of the communica-
ions passing between the two CAPT
tails was unknown. but it was as
sumed they had to do with the Boil

Ambassador Francis's reports to
the state department included infor-
nation reaching him that the north
ern armies in Russia were facing a
serious food shortage. giving rise to
The fear that the disorders in that
country might further be complicated
b. widespread footing. He also re-
peated a rumor current in Petrograd
that a rev government of a Social
istic character vas being formed.
The only acknowledgment the
United States is likely to make at
this time to tie note from the Boil
sheyi6i delivered to all the ambas-
sadors in P%etrograd will be merely
{ OF receipt. This was indicated
by officials who said the question was
being considered.
To reject the proposal through a
diplomatic note would be to recog-
nize the Rolsheviki as forming a de
facto Russian government.
The state department is not likely
to take this step.

q story upon which may depend her
conviction or acquittal on the charge
of numbering her husband, John l..
DeSaulles, at his Long Island home,
the night of Aug. 8. 1t was a tale in
which pathOS and humOr were
mingled. But the greater part of the
story was so deeply pathetic that
jurors and spectators were visibly af-
fected.
Then the witness told of her brief
courtship and the wedding ceremony
performed in Paris in 1911. From
this point, the story was one of do
nestle infelicity and of Indifferent
neglect and unfaithfulness on the
part Of the husband" which event
ually led to the divorce court.

u. S. FARMER GETS MORE
Has Bigger Share In Bread Price,
Following Federal Control.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Stabiliza-
ton of bread production by govern
ment supervision extending from the
wheat field to the bakery, with a
consequent elimination of boarding

for the farmer to receive 40 per cent
of the price paid for the loaf of bread,
the food administration announced.
k was pointed out that last year the
farmers returns represented less
than 20 per cent of the selling price
of bread.
Federal control of the production
has had a decidedly stabilizing in
iuence on all branches of the in
dustry with the result, according to
the food experts. that a marked de-
a in bread prices has been eff
fected recently in many cities.
