Divested of it's legal wording the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court on the Webb-Kenyon Law and
the West Virginia case is simply this
If state has prohibition law it can
pass other laws forbidding any per-
son or carrier from bringing liquor
into the state in any way to violate
that prohibition liquor law. The
theory has been all along that under
the interstate commerce provision Of
the constitution no state could for
bid the shipment Of liquor into it from
another state But the highest tri-
bunal in the land says most emphati-
cally that state that has law pro-
hibiting the use of liquor as bever-
age may prohibit the Importation Of
liquors. This is death blow to mail
order liquor houses that have waxed
fat shipping booze into prohibition
territory; also it will put an end to
the express companies as booze
agents in any state that may now pro-
hibit the bringing in Of liquors. In
the West Virginia case the court up
held the law Of that state prohibit
ing any person in the state having
liquor in his possession if it came into
the state in violation Of law. Under
these decisions there is no excuse for
any prohibition state TO be anything
but "bone dry"

NAVY NEEDS 26,456 MEN

Four Years - Recruiting

Washington. - The Navy Depart
ment in big drive to bring enlist
ments up to full strength and to fill
the immediate need for men, dis
patched orders to all recruiting sta
tions to accept men for the Marine
Corps as well as the reserve corps
for a term limited to the present
emergency" Men so recruited will
be pressed into service with the un-
derstanding that they will receive fur
Tough when the emergency ends and
not be compelled to serve out the
usual four years. To rush enlistments
and broaden the campaign for new
men, an additional force of 100 off,
GERS and 1000 men may be detailed
for recruiting purposes.
The total enlisted strength of the
Navy is 61,OS9, it was shown by de-
partment reports. Figuring in the
men whose term of enlistment will
expire in the near future, the Navy
now needs 26,456 men to bring the
number up to the maximum allowed
by the present law. When the pres
ent limit is reached the President will
be asked to extend it to furnish plenty
of additional men for every vessel and
for duty on shore. When the special

enlisted men to secure commissions.
The Navy Department needs 995 off,

SPY INSURANCE
FOR THE NATION
Dragnet Spread From the Allan
tic to the Pacific.
SUSPECTS TO BE GATHERED
tion OF Internment Camps In
Various Parts OF the
Country.

WashingtOn.-Every channel of gov.
ernment activity is working under
pressure to provide "spy insurance"
for the nation in the event of war
with Germany. An army Of secret
service men and agents of the Depart
ment of Justice, spreading dragnet
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from Canada to the Mexican border,
have under surveillance thousands of
"spy suspects" and German sym.
pathizers. A declaration of war be-
tween the United States and Germany,
it was learned will be followed i'm
mediately by wholesale arrests and
internments.
Among the thousands under sur
veillance are vast number of Ger
man reservists caught in the United
States at the outbreak of the Euro
pean War and unable to get back to
| the German Army. Every reservist
| has been listed by the secret service,
after vast amount of labor, and a
war declaration would be the signal
internment. Plans are under way for
several great internment camps in
various parts of the country where the
German aliens will be placed under
guard.
In addition to these reservists, the
secret service agents have under sur
veillance vast number of naturalized
Germans, whose activities during the
recent crisis have brought them under
suspicion. Many of these are wealthy
throughout the country. AS an ex-
ample of this class of suspects, it was
learned that secret service guard
has been installed about the home,
and business establishment of a mil
lionaire German-American in Wash
ington. While the secret agents de-
clined to make any announcement as
to what charge they were prepared to
make against the millionaire, it was
learned that a powerful wireless plant
surmounting the millionaire's place of
business had aroused suspicion, and
that for month a secret service man
had been in the millionaire's employ.
The President and his advisers
have decided on a vigorous campaign
to eliminate all disloyalty from the
Army, the Navy and the executive
branches of the government, and the
secret service agents have been Or
dered to investigate the sympathies
of all responsible officials. Congress
will probably be asked to enact leg
islation barring from the military and
naval service all but real American
citizens. Representative Griffin, of
New York, has already begun move
ment looking toward this end.
