Small German Towns
Hold u. S. Prisoners
Havelburg and Dulmen De-
scribed as of Little Size
or Importance

The three German towns OF Karls-
ruhe. Dulmen and Havelberg are Of
special interest to America at present
owing TO the report that a number OF
citizens of the United States assen-
gers and crews of the steamers Vol
taire. Mount Temple, George, Esmer-
aida, Bulgarian and Czersk are being
held in these places as prisoners. The
National Geographic Society has issued
the following bulletin on Dulmen and
Havelberg. Karlsruhe having been the
subject of an earlier one:
Neither Havelberg nor Dulmen IS =
town of any considerable size or com
mercial Importance. The former is the
more picturesque and interesting. in
asmuch as half of its 5000 inhabitant
reside on an island in the Havel River,
tributary of the Elbe, and the other
half on the hills which rise from the
right bank of the stream.
"Crowning one of the hills is beau
tiful old Romanesque cathedral. which
dates back TO ITO, and which was re-
stored during the last decade Of the
nineteenth century The Havelberg
bishopric was established long before
the cathedral was built. however. /,
was created by Otto | during the first
half of the tenth century
"Havelberg was once strongly tortl-
fed and suffered from siege, lombard
ment and capture on five occasions
during the Thirty Years War. II now
has no military significance. It is SIT
uated on a short branch line. which
connects with the Hamburg Berlin
Railway. and is so miles northwest Of
the capital. and ll5 miles southeast OF
the great city at the mouth Of the Elbe.
The inhabitants are engaged IN to
bacco manufacturing, sugar rehnlng
and boat building.
"Dulmen is slightly larger than
Havelberg. the most recent census CIV,
ing it 1900 inhabitants. Il Is situated
some Il miles southwest Of Munster,
in Westphalia. between the Ems and
the Rhine. and is 1856 miles by raii
southwest Of Hamburg.
THE only point of interest in the
town is n chateau and estate owned by
the Duke Of Croy-Dulmen.'

Revolt Possible Only by
Suppression of Vodka,
DR.. Emerson Says
Congressman Dissents
Jacob E. Meeker Urges Fed
eral Limitation on
Intoxicants

Tho prohibition Of vodka in Russia
was used both as an argument for and
against war time prohibition in the
United States last night b. speakers
Al meeting of the National Institute
Of Social Science at the Academy OF
Medicine. Il West Forty-third Street
Health Commissioner Haven Emerson
speaking in favor of prohibition as
war measure. declared that the revolu-
tion in Russia could not have been pos
sible save for the wiping out Of vodka.
1T was only when this drink was
prohibited that the vitality Of the peo-
pie was raised sufficiently to take stock
of themselves and throw over the yoke
of the Gar" he said. Tine same thing
may be said Of China. 1t was largely
due TO the prohibition Of opium there
that "a republic was made possible. Our
records show that from 20 10 per cent
Of the incomes Of small wage earners IS
spent for alcohol. This would mean a
great economic saving in the aggre-
gate
Jacob f. Neeker. a member Of the
House OF Representatives from Mis-
souri,. urged government supervision OF
the distribution of drinks TO soldiers,
but spoke against prohibition.
Does il not seem TO be practical
sense that the government should as
carefully supervise the distribution OF
drink as the distribution of food >" he
asked. There is no such thing as pro
hibtion IN Europe. True 70 is that
the Car prohibited vodka. and We know
what happened 70 the Car.
II do NOT mean TO say that that Oc-
Cured because he prohibited vodka,
hut this action was in perfect accord
with the Cars spirit. France. Eng
land. Germany, Italy and Belgium all
have beer and wine rations for their
soldiers in the field. We exported
about 100000 bushels Of malt 70 keep
the English breweries running. This
is not the time for us 70 seek excuses
20 put through pet measures
The Rev. Wallace VI. Short contended
that it would be most inadyissble 20
settle so vital a question of public
policy under the pressure Of the eX-
elements of war"
Germany as yet easily distances all
the ClNlllLeu nations III ellCleHNEf Nv
said. though she never has so much
as thought Of prohibition. Is 1t not
more likely that war prohibition for
US, with its vast dsarrangements OF
business and Of the habits of the peo-
pie. together with the antagonisms en-
.endered and the problems Of enforce
ment. would weaken rather than
strengthen our arm for united aggres-
sion or defence? II we are TO argue for
prohibition on the ground o. a certain
type Of efficiency Germany can on the
same ground argue for Prussianism.'
DR.. Charles B. Davenport, an advo-
cate Of prohibition. argued from the
medical standpoint.
The Rev. Charles Stelzle pointed out
that $4,000 men, working six months.
are required 70 raise the grain for the
manufacture of beer and liquors. and
that these men would be released to
raise the nations food under prohibi-
ton. The last speaker against pro-
