.CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE
IS SUBJECT Of ruling
Controller Warfield Considers Prop.
osition Affecting U. S. Government
Motor Vehicles.

The chauffeqr's license for an operator
of a government vehicle in the state OF
Maryland is a problem of governmental
expenditure. The waving by the state
motor vehicle commission of the motor
vehicle license eliminates that phase OF
the difficulty. But the controller of the
Treasury, w. W. Warwick, is of the opin-
ion that:
"Any license fees that may be paid by
chauffeurs cannot be reimbursed from APP
preparations heretofore made"
At the same time, Controller Warwick
concludes that he cannot render deci-
sion or express an opinion upon the ques-
ton whether any particular person oper-
ating any vehicle in a state should have
the chauffeurs license required by the
laws of the state. These questions he
considers proper for settlement by the
law officers of the government or other

NO FEAR OF DRY BILL VETO.
Anti-Saloon League Attorney Doesn't
Expect Presidential Disapproval.

No fear is entertained by the Anti
Saloon League that President Wilson
will veto the District prohibition bill
should that measure finally receive the
approval of Congress.
This was the statement today of A.
E. Shoemaker, attorney for the Wash
ington branch of the league whose
trustees last night held meeting in
the Y. NJ. c. A. building.
Mr.. Shoemaker gave it as his opinion
that the bill as passed by the Senate
would not be jeopardized by the typo
graphical error to the effect that 1t
would become effective on and after
November 1, 1916, inasmuch as the cor
rect date. November l. 1917. is stated
in the first paragraph of the bill
Announcement was made by Mr.
Shoemaker that scientific temperance
exhibit will be installed shortly, prob
ably in the vicinity of 18th and F
streets northwest. Evils of the liquor
traffic will be illustrated by posters anu
other means. The exhibit, which will
be in charge of Miss Edith NJ Wills OF
Boston, will be maintained until after
March.

BELGIANS IN GERMANY
PLEAD FOR MORE FOOD
Prisoners Of War Send Urgent Re
quests to q. 8. Section Of Re-

More food and oftener" is tho key
note of nearly, all the messages re-
ceived from Belgian prisoners of war
in Germany, according to John Moffat.
chairman Of the United States Sec
ton of the committee for the relief
of these men.
The glorious courage of the battle
field is equaled only by the misery OF
those who suffer and who cannot take
part in the final triumph-the prison
ers-says Mr. Moffat in an appeal just
issued. and the most pitiful of all are
surely the Belgians hold in Germany
who are largely dependent on the SYM
pathy of the generous people of this
and other countries. The committee
has on its books some $500 men to
whom it regularly sends parcels of
eatables. and there remain some $4,000
not so provided for.

FINAL ARGUMENT MADE
TODAY IN APPAM CASE
Attorneys For British Owners Con
tend That Neutrality Of q. S.
Was Violated By Germans.

Final arguments were made today in
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the case determining British claims
to restoration of the German prize ship
Appam at Newport News, Va. The
British case was presented to the court
today by Frederic r. Coudert of New
York, who contended that the Appam's
presence is a violation of American
neutrality in the use of an American
port for deposit of war spoils.
He said that no treaty or interna-
tional law justifies such use. To per-
nit such use, he declared. would en-
tail active participation by a neutral
nation in the war.
That the violence and duress under
which the Appam was brought into
Hampton roads by the German prize
crew was a quasi criminal violation of
American neutrality was commended by
the British representative, who also
argued that The Hague conventions
ratified by the United States. prohibit
use of American ports as a refuge for
prizes and are the supreme law of the
United States.
The arguments, listened to by Prince
Hatzfeldt of the German embassy,
will be concluded late this afternoon
with a final statement in behalf of the
German claimants.

Element of Doubt.
He says further:

II
There may be a serious doubt as to
whether the government should deny
the right of state to exact a motor
vehicle license fee to be paid by the
government and yet at the same time
accept such a license and place the tag
evidencing it upon the motor vehicle
It might be proper. when the govern
ment denied the right of a state to
levy a tax or license fee on the opera
ton of q government vehicle through
state, to have the federal character
of the vehicle indicated in a way to
identify it as the property of the gov
moleSted."

INQUIRY by Cabinet Officer.

The Secretary of the Interior puts
the question, asking whether the pay
ment may be made and, if so, out of
what appropriation. He sets forth that
the state motor vehicle commission has
advised him the licenses for motor
vehicles can be furnished without
charge, but that payment of the usual
fee of SO for a chauffeur's license would
be required.
This office has repeatedly negatived
that there is authority to use appro-
priations to make payments to states
of license fees in connection with the
government motor vehicles" cites Con-
troller Warwick. This conclusion is
generally based on the ground that the
license fee is equivalent to tax and
may not be exacted of the government

LAND DEPARTMENT IS MAKING MONEY
 FOR THE STATE

The business of the state land de partment is so developing that that department gives promise of some time becoming the sole support of the state. It is not long since it became a remunerative institution. It has now about S300,000 at per cent. and though it is not yet able to furnish all the money needed by the farm CTS it has made it possible for those whom it cannot supply to obtain money at z per cent. It has out on contracts to purchase land which with the installment payments will bring in about S1OO,O0O
 When the selections of the state lands have been made the volume of of work of the land department will be so reduced that the expenses of the office will not be more than s25, 900 a year, though there is now ap- propriated for it S75,000 a year.
 Commissioner Mouer has anticipat ed the selections of land by securing permission from the department tc lease government lands which have been withdrawn from entry to be SC lected in lieu of lands set apart fol the state by the enabling act, but which are within Indian reservations These lands have not yet been passed to the state by patent and may mol so pass for four or five years. MT Mouer has secured the further permis sion of the government for the fenc ing of such leased lands by the lessee! with the provision that in the even that the land should finally remain within the public domain the lessee. would be allowed the privilege of re moving the fences. A considerabl' part of the receipts of the departmen from leased lands comes from thes' yet government lands.

HIS TREATMENT Is REMARKABLE HE SAYS
Capt. F. s. Patty, Ex-Passen- ger Agent Northern Pacific, Discusses Former Troubles.

Nearly everybody in Knoxville, es- pecially railroad people, know Cap tain F. S. Patty, for 12 years distric, passenger agent for the Northern Pa cific railioad, with local offices in Chattanooga and general offices in St. Paul, Minn.
 On account of generally failing health Captain Patty was forced to discontinue active work and for the past few years has been making his home in Knoxville, where he numbers his friends by his acquaintances. He is kind, genial gentleman of the old school, and is beloved by all who know him. The following interesting stat, ment was made by him in person to the Tanlac representative:
 q am 69 years old and always ell, joyed good health up to about six years ago, when l suffered a nervous breakdown and my general health gradually failed me. My principal trouble was indigestion and catarrh but my wheel system seemed to be out of shape. My condition finally got so bad l couldn't sleep at night and all ways after eating I would suffer so from indigestion and heartburn that l felt just like there was a coal of fire in my stomach. My hearing and wis ion were also affected. l consulted several doctors here in Knoxville and other cities and they helped me con siderably and l finally got so I could go around, but some how I just could not feel right and, could not sleep at night, which made me awfully ner- vous and nothing I would eat seemed to agree with me.
 ''I began reading about this Tanlac when you first came here, but did not decide to try the medicine until l. talk ed with friend of mine who had act ually used it. He said it was the best thing he had ever taken and that was sufficient proof for me.
 ''I have just finished the first bottle and came here this morning not only to buy the second bottle but to tell you just what is has done for me began enjoying my meals from the first few dorps. My nervousness is gone and I can sleep like child and always wake up in the morning ready for breakfast and feeling refreshed am very fond of onions, but was al most afraid to eat them because they always disagreed with me so; I could taste them for hours afterward. l ate one for dinner the other day and il agreed with me perfectly and l felt l.. bad effects whatsoever. l tell you am beginning to feel like. a different man and am always going to keep thi; Tanlac on hand. It has done me more good than anything else in the medi cine line I have ever taken. l cer tainly do recommend 1t to my friends I It is really remarkable"
