DRASTIC DRY BILL PASSED.
House to Ask Conference on Posta
Prohihition Provisions


Prohibition Provisions.
Washington, Feb 7.-With it's add
ed drastic prohibition legislative pro-
visions, the annual postoffice appropri-
alton bill, carrying $332,o0o,0o0. was
passed by the senate late yesterday
after week of vigorous debate. 1t
was sent back to the house, which will
ask for conference on the amend
ments. 81 9EE
The senate wrote into the bill pro-
vision making 1t a criminal offense5 to
ship liquor into states which prohibit
it's manufacture and sale, thus nullify-
ing the statutes Of certain prohibition
states permitting the importation of
limited quantities ofsliquor for personal
consumption.
Senators favoring prohibition failed
in an effort to reverse the action of the
senate yesterday in eliminating the
Reed amendment. BY a vote of % to
SO a motion of Senator Kenyon to
throw out the amendment was de-
feated.
Another provision would bar from the
mails letters, postal cards. circulars,
newspapers, and other publications
containing liquor advertising in states
having laws against such advertising;
violation to be punishable with a fine
not to exceed $1,000 or Imprisonment
not to exceed six months for the first
offense or more than one year for the
second foffense.

Cattle.
Nearly all Of the cattle, that arrived
were consigned direct to packers.
Conditions are less bullish all around
than recently. Beef is slowing up In It's
movement into consumer channels.
Vegetables and eggs are coming down
in price, and as the weather grows
warmer and eggs are more plentiful IN
the markets, the Lenten consumption
of them will increase greatly to the
detriment of the beef demand.
Lent opens next Wednesday and 1t
must be reckoned with as beef mar
ket factor this year above all others
because of the record prices Wnlch
beef commands. ANY substitute 1or
beef that will permit the consumer ex-
banding the purchasing power OF his
dollar, it would seem, will be bound 70
get favor.
AS regards choice beeves, there are

the fact remains that any very severe

of stores usually has bearish lnnu-

we are assuming. Our country, which
has always been exposed to external
difficulties. has found itself compelled
ito make sacrifices such as our past had
nver known.
Ridiculous Threats by Foe.
"Our enemies have declared their in
|tention OF thrusting us back into the
depths Of Asia Minor, turning US out
of Constantinople and driving us from
the straits. To these ridiculous threats
of our enemies who took flight at the
Dardanelles as the result of the de-
feat inflicted upon them by our valiant
army we reply that we shall not re-
ltnQuish Constantinople as long as
1--WE shall persevere in this gigantic
struggle in close fraternity OF arms
with our brave and victorious allies
until we have compelled our enemies
to reorganize our rights to existence.
That Is our aim"

vote of confidence in the government.
