To TEST BONE DRY
LAW IN WASHINGTON
tBy staff Correspondent

Washington. Sept. 2i.--A vigorous
fight is TO be made nv a. Il. Shoe
maker, attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League Of the District of Columbia.
TO have the district included within
the operation OF the hone-dry law
when the saloons close here October
81, according t. Mr. Shoemaker. The
advertising OF liquors in the District,
after October 81, is prohibited in the
District prohibition law. The post
office appropriation act under the
bone-dry section prohibits the use OF
mails to those advertising or solicit
ing orders for liquor in states or ter
ritories where such advertisements are
prohibited.
The vets are making the point mat.
because the District of Columbia Is
not specifically mentioned in the bone
dry law, it Is not included in the pro-
visions of the latter. Mr.. Shoemaker
suggests, however, that the way to
find out is for some one to try to
bring liquor into the District after
October 81. Should this be attempt

DRY CAPITAL FOR
ANTI-SAlOON HOSTS
(By staff Correspondent

Washington, Sept 2l--Postpone-
ment of the dates of the great con-
vention OF the Anti Saloon League of
America for a few days as a result of
threatened conflict with members OF
the National w. &. T. L, brought here
by their annual convention. and the
thousands attracted by the opening Of
Congress, over the question Of hotel
accom- odations, will in no way dinin-
ish interest in the convention. . b.
Not in the history OF the Anti
Saloon League has such interest been
manifested in its conventions as now.
Naturally there's reason for this,
With results accomplished almost
beyond the power of belief in con-
nection with the carrying out of the
ain1s and purposes of the Anti-Saloon
league. and with prospects so fair
for the final elimination of the hopes
OF the hundreds OF thousands. even
millions, of temperance people over
the country. as far as the power of
Congress to grant the wi'hes of these
temperance folks goes, there is good
cause for rejoicing. and for anticipa-
ton as to the Developments of the
greatest of all dry conventions.
The Anti-Saloon leasuers will meet
in a dry ellington, this being one
OF the accomplishments which has
gone far towards paving the way for
later prohibition legislation at the
hands of Congress-. Therefore, when
the date for the opening of thu con-
vention rolls around. the DELEGATES
will have cause to look around them
and find many things to be thank
ful for these days. IN addition to the
fact that they are American citizens.

ORGANIZES POTOMAC
DIVISION, REQ CROSS

J. w. Magruder, e~ector of civilian
relief of the Potomac division of tho

tiers in Washington. was in the city
yesterday arranging for the organiza-
ton of Virginia. West Virginia and
Maryland into divisional organization.
known as the Potomac division. This
will be one Of the thirteen divisions
over the country which are now be-
ing organized. David II. Brown, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Red Cross
of Virginia. will be transferred to
similar position in the Potomac d.
vision.
Mr.. Magruder emphasized the inn
portanee of the training of civilian
relief workers in the various Red
Cross chapters OF the state. He de-
scribed the establishment OF the chain
OF home service institutes for the
training of civilian relief workers
which the Red Cross is establishing
over the country. There will be nine

will serve as supervisor of the field
work He also said that Richmond
was fortunate In having a training
school for social workers in that 1t
made 1t unnecessary for the Red Cross
civilian relief workers to go outside
the s:ae for training.
DIR. Magruder says:
THE occasion OF these institutes ID
the imperative need of trained and
competent home service workers, both
paid and volunteer. for the home SER
vice section of the civilian relief COM
mittees Of the Red Cross chapters.
We already have trained nurses and
trained sanitarians and trained peo-
pie In every line OF service calling
for very special knowledge and skill.
1t goes without saying that the very
highest efficiency and training is to be
sought for the difficult and delicate
work OF ministering to the dependents
of soldiers and sailors, and also to
the men themselves when they have
been discharged because Of disability
rand have returned home"
DR.. Hibbs is ready to answer ques-
tons and to correspond at once with
persons who contemplate taking the
training and will include also per.
sons from states outside the Potomac
division.

Tunneling operations were started. A

AT the end OF the tunnels we dug
huge cham bers, which were filled
with all kinds of explosives, Every
thing we had that would go up was
packed into those rooms. That Is.
everything except gasoline We had
better uses for gasoline. Wires were
run back behind our lines and the
sand bags one by one. were removed
from the trenches and packed back
in the passageway.
Then the day was set for pulling
