WHAT DRY VICTORY IN
WASHINGTON WILL MEAN
Wayne B. Wheeler Says People OF
Dry Nations Will Note Our
enlightenment.

Washington. D. c.. Jan. Wayne
B. Wheeler. general counsel OF the
Anti-Saloon League of America spoke
tonight in the First Baptist Church
In part he said:
The victory for dry Washington
means more than the capture OF any
one city in America for the prohibt-
ton purposes. It is an announcement
OF the whole world that this country
cares more for a clean capital city
and her boys and girls than all the
dirty dollars that come in revenue
from the saloons. 1t means that
Washingtons three hundred saloons
which daily tempt the youth and de-
bauch the weak. will close their
doors.
The city's four breweries and
wholesale liquor houses which take
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
from the people and giye them moth
ing in return will be converted into
general industries employing more
men and paying m in wages. The
Pacific Coast Brewefy employed two
hundred and ffty-six men before the
State went dry. IT Is now great
shoe factory. employing almost two
thousand people.
Drunkenness and crime will dimin-
ish. In West Virginia drunkenness
has decreased 20 per cent and crime
so per cent since the State went dry.
Useful business will be the bene-
fciary because the money wasted for
liquor will be spent for groceries, dry
goods and the comforts of life.
When citizens of Norway. Canada
and Russia and other dry nations
come to a saloonless Washington. we
Wall no longer be ashamed OF our gov
ernmental policy of licensing men to
make others drunk and then lock up
those who buy the licensed liquor. II
means that Washington is willing to
keep step with enlightened public pol
icy and progressing national con-
science. and take her place with the
So per cent of the people OF this ma
ton which have already declared the
saloon a national nuisance and out
law

The two men hailed a jitney driver
on State Street in Bristol at midnight
and engaged him to take them to
Piny Flats. They stopped him at a
lonely spot on the road and picked
up quantity OF dynamite and crow
bars
They informed the chauffeur of
their purpose and he was compelled
to wait for the men to rob the bank
and then drive them to Piny Flats
and see them pull off the second
robbery. They paid the chauffeur
five hundred pennies for his trip and
left him on the road side, presumably
boarding a train. No clue has been

PRESIDENT ISSUES CALL.
FOR REQ CROSS FUNDS
ASSERTS Most Prosperous Nation Must
Relieve Suffering In Warning
World.

Washington, Jan. An appeal for
funds, signed by Woodrow Wilson. as
president of the organization, was
made public tonight by the American
Red Cross. The document, to be sent
broadcast through the country, is as
follows:
Another winter closes around the
great European struggle. and with
the cold there comes greater need
among soldiers in the fghting line
and in the hospitals, and still more
among the women and children in
ruined homes or in exile
This country. at peace, blessed
with prosperity. can hardly imagine
the needs. but It can help to meet
them.
"Of great importance among the
agencies which have expressed our
sympathy with suffering humanity
among the belligerent nations has
been the American Red Cross This
organization Of our countrymen has
brought relief to every nation in the
great war.
Its skilled workers have cared for
the wounded OF every army. have gone
forth through the deso1ate Siberian
plains to bring help to thousands o,
prisoners. have fought disease in pes
thence ridden Serbia, and have
brought hope to countless non-co
batants. women and children.
Wherever these Red Cross men
and women go. they are carrying the
message that Americans cannot rest
without seeking to relieve such suf-
ferfng.
Organized, persistent work, Hike
that conducted by our American Red
Cross, requires a great deal OF money.
Since the beginning OF the war money
has come to US from men and women
in all walks of life. We have re-
ceived checks in five figures and PEN
MES wrapped in smudged envelopes.
But now our funds are wellnigh
exhausted. We hnd ourselves at the
point where activities must be seri-
eusly curtai3ed and We must. turn
away from the Misunderstanding ap-
peals brought by every European mail
