Want country DRY
while WAR LASTS
Presbytery Petitions Government to
Close Saloons During Conflict.

The Presbytery of Washington City has
petitioned the President and Congress to
close all saloons during the course Of the
waf.
A statement Of reasons for the desira-
bility OF such action is as follows, the Pc
tition sets forth:
1. Saloons are commonly closed In
riots; much more should they be closed
for the war especially as bread riots,
draft riots and even peace riots might be
fomented by open saloons.
.. Because the food supply of our allies
and of our own Is short and no grain
should be wasted in worse than useless
poisonous beverages
g. Because a greatly increased supply
of alcohol is at once needed for the man
ufacture of munitions, and liquors now in
stock might we'll be redistilled for that
purpose.
T. Because foreign nations have found
that the sale OF intoxicants seriously in
terferes with the mobilization Of troops.
reduces greatly the efficiency OF NUM-
tion workers, impairs the aim Of the SOL
der. injuries his health and serviceable-
ness, not only directly but Indirectly by
melting him to gross immortality.
5. Parents Of young men brought up in
prohibition States VIII be justly offended
II their sons, stationed in "wet" towns,
are preyed upon by liquor dealers and the
hcentious creatures that make their
nests about saloons. While war powers
are used to intern saloons during the war,
we ask that the work, so well begun, of
suppressing all liouor selling by statute
and constitutional amendment shall 20

eral Jurisdiction.

LICENSE COMES BACK.
ROMANCE IS CLOSED
FourteentYear-Old Girl Was Not Ask
ed to Wed Admirer. 80.

Mystery which has shrouded the case
Of Joseph Hall. Q, of CatIetts. Va, who
last Wednesday took out a license to
marry Mary Dotson, the H-year-oId
daughter Of Harry Dotson. his erstwhile
employer and a wealthy planning mill pro-
prietor near Catletts was cleared up yes
terday when the license was returned in
a registered letter for cancellation.
Joseph Hall, who. ii appears was anx-
Ious to become Mr.. Dotson's son-in-law.
took out the license without the knowl-
edge or consent of little Mary Dotson. He
gave Miss Dotson's age as is years.
Upon learning OF Halls act. Mr.. Dot
son Immediately came TO this city and
got in touch with the Rev. John II. JEFF
fries pastor of Ryland n. E. Church. who
had been designated to perform the cere-
mony.
Much relieved at finding that the mat
rimonial ties between his daughter and
young Hall had not been effected, Mr..
Dotson felt impelled to give young Hall
"a drst-class walloping."
There was no explanation enclosed with
the returned license. Col KrnlI. clerk OF
the marriage license bureau. closed all
record OF the incident by striking two red
lines through his record of the license.

.PAN-AMERICAN SUPPORT
IN war NOW ASSURED
FArsentina's Approving Note to Be Fol-
lowed by Other Nations.

A complete survey OF the feelings of
the nations of Pan-America toward the
war between the United States and Ger
many was under way last night through
the State Department. American diplo-
matte officials in practically all Of the
South and Central American countries
have been ordered to sound out the sem
timent at their posts, and to communicate
to the department at once the results of
their investigations. Continued conflict
ing reports as to the leanings of various
South American countrjes prompted the
instructions to American diplomats.
All doubt as to the position of Argen-
tina was dispelled when the Argentine
Embassy transmitted to the State De-
partment the following note:
THE government OF Argentina, in view
of the causes that have prompted the
United States to declare war against the
government of the German empire, rec
ognizes the Justice of that declaration.
founded as 1t is upon the violation of the
principles of neutrality established by the
rules Of international law which have
been considered definite conquests of CIV
ilization."
Similar notes from various other Latin
American nations are expected.

BETTER PROTECTION
SOUGHT BY SUBURBS
Citizens to Petition District Commis-

Better police protection for suburba n
communities will be sought by a COM
mittee of citizens of the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association, as a re-
suit of decision reached last night
at the association meeting at Army
and Navy Preparatory School
This committee may visit District
Commissioner Brownlow and Major
Pullman to ask what measures can be
employed to get more men so that they
may be assigned in greater number to
outlying districts where police protec-
tion is apparently inadequate now.

sociation to campaign against glass
being thrown in the streets. The action
will be made known to the District
Commissioners.
Protest was voiced against any
proposition by the Capital Traction

seek better conditions in the transit
system from Fifteenth street and New

relieve present congestions at the for
