seneracy was such as to make one
shudder at the contemplation of the
destruction that this poison has
wrought throughout the ages.
Declaring that nations are but
groups of human beings, Capt. Hob
son called upon history to corrobo
rate his assertion that continual U.S.
Of alcohol brings about degeneracy
and death. He recited the long list
of nations that had risen to world
power only to fall because of the
degeneracy brought about by the use
OF alcohol by its people. The same
tate awaits the human race on earth
the world is not made sober.
More directly touching upon the
war itself, Capt. Hobson gave his
opinion on what America is fighting
for. Not for conquest, not for re-
venge not for retribution, not to
ierce any form of government upon
any people, but for humanity the
world over, was his view of Amer
bca's purpose in the war, and at the
end this nation, the brother OF all
nations, will bring the nations to-
eether, wash the blood from their
hands, point out to them the thou.

ioSca address by Capt. Richmond
Pearson AoDson last night at the
First Methodist church on America
in War; and so clear were his argu
ments and so well supported was he
by facts of science and history that
no one who heard him could doubt
the Importance of his interrogation.
An appeal to the people to cali
upon congress and the president to
see to it that the liquor traffic is
driven from the environments OF the
camps in which American soldiers
are encamped was Capt. Hobson's
first message. He said that a law
had been enacted giving the presi.
dent power to create a white zone
about the camps, but that that zone
had been made five miles in the open
county and only half mile in cities
where the saloon is entrenched. This
he said, should be changed.
Capt. Hobson was representing the
Anti-Saloon League of America and
the primary purpose of his tour is
to create more sentiment for a dry
nation that will make the world
sober. He appealed to the people OF
+ Tennessee to help in the fight for
nation wide prohibition for the dura.

To Force Cultivation.

New York, May 14.-The problem
OF the high cost of living can be
solved by increasing the cultivation of
the tillable land of the country
through the taxation of ~unimproved
land and untaxing improvements and
other products of labor, according to
a brief filed with the Federal Trade
Commission by the committee on the
high cost of living and made public
here Saturday.
The brief urges the commission to
recommend that some such action be
taken by the legislatures of twenty
eight states, which possess a total
farm acreage of 43O, 815 $50 acres, it
is stated, with only 25O,875,9S8 acres
improved. In all other states, the
brief states, the change should be
made possible by constitutional
amendment. at is evident" the brief
reads, chat the unimproved land in
these states forms a considerable
acreage and that complete utilization
of this land and of all farm land in
these states can be achieved through
the proposed change in the tax, which
would materially improve the food
situation in the United States within
q year."
