State law: "It shall be unlawful
for any person. firm, or corpora
ton to deliver or receive or have
in possession for delivery within
this state any intoxicating liquor
for any purpose whatsoever, except
that such liquor may be delivered,
or received and possessed for de-

istered pharmacists to be disposed
of by them as provided by law
Therefore any intoxicating liquor
found in the possession Of any rail-
road, express, dray company. or in the
possession of any person consigned to
any other person or corporation or
for delivery to another will be sub
ject to seizure and the person or cor
poration having the same in possess

THE ONLY EXCEPTION is THAT
OF A REGISTERED PHARMACIST.
The North Dakota Enforcement league
will insist on strict compliance with
these laws. No further warning will
be given and We will insist on the
arrest and prosecution Of any who are
found violating the same. 1t is up to
railroad and express companies to in
struct their agents and ship back all
liquors on hand Immediately after
July /.
AN understanding has been reached
whereby druggists will not seek per-
mits and alcohol may be received for
medicines and for bath
ing purpose but alcohol is not to be
sold except compounded and denatur-
ed by some of the many ways suggest
ed by the United States government
so that it cannot be used as a bever-
age. The United States Pharmacopea
having declared that whiskey and 9TH
er intoxicating liquors are not medi-
cines will make it illegal to sell such
a medicine. There are some druggists
who will undertake to sell alcohol as
a beverage but to do so will subject
them to prosecution under federal and
state law.
II call upon all states attorneys
sheriffs, constables, and marshals to
exercise their right to examine the recr
ords of transportation companies to
see If any illegal liquors are on hand.
The new law gives you this right after
July 1. All liquors consigned to other
than druggists and all liquors con-
signed to them except wine and al
cohol should be seized and it becomes
your duty under the law to seize such.
There are many problems that only

make clear and it will take patience
and persistence to obtain all the bene-
fits provided by them.

John Galesworthy: We owe to you
(the United States) and to Russia a
renewed sense and conference in our
cause. The idealism which was and is
implicit in that cause was oozing out
under the bitter pressure OF this end
less struggle. Some OF US were be-
ginning to fear that in the end democ-
racy would be forced to the continued
use of autocratic militarism, even
after the victory had been won; that
we, conquering in substance should be
conquered in spirit, and the world set
definitely spinning backward. That
fear is at an end; the relief is Intense.
To you and to the Russian revolution
we owe that relief in the certainty that
the military castle of Germany is
doomed. -"

From the Scientific American: II
was almost inevitable that In the
search for some quickly improvised
anti submarine protection for mer-
chant shipping, the mind should think
Of the placing Of some obstruction in
the path of the torpedo, which would
serve to arrest or explode it at some
distance from the ship.
For the reason that. for many years
as far back probably as the first APP
pearance OF a successful automatic
torpedo, warships had been protected,
when at anchor, by hanging curtain
of steel netting around them, the pub
lie jumped to the conclusion that II
nets were a good protection for a ship
at anchor they must be so for a ship
under way-but that is where they
were in error. .....
So far as warships are concerned, 1t
had been found that not only was the
resistance of the nets so great as to
cut down the speed of a battle ship to
five or six knots, but also that the
eddies and other forms of disturbance
developed by dragging the huge area
OF the netting through the water, made
it difflcult to keep the ships under that
complete control which is so essential
to successful naval maneuvers. Fur
thermore. although the maintenance
Of a net at a distance of twenty or
thirty feet from the side Of ship by
means OF booins and guy ropes is not
a difficult matter when the ship is in
a sheltered roadstead or harbor, it
would be an absolute imposstbility II
a ship were steaming in a gale OF
wind through a heavy seaway.
And this brings us face to face with
a controlling factor, which we COM
mend to all those inventors who are
endeavoring to provide protective de-
vices of this character for use on the
Atlantic ocean, namely, that they must
plan their constructions so that they
will stand the terrific wrenching and
twisting forces to which the system
will be exposed in a confused and
