DRY MOVEMENT IS CHECKED by
WILSON'S ORDER

Washington, June 29-Intervention
of President Wilson today checked the
bone dry" national prohibition move
ment in congress. Confinement of pro-
hibition legislation to distilled bever-
ages without interference with man.
ufacture of beer and wines, it general
ly agreed, will result.
Prohibition leaders were asked by
the President, in order to prevent de-
lay in passing the food control bill, to
drop their fight against the manufac-
ture of beer, wines and other light in
toXicants. With a formal response
from the "drys" deferred, senate lead
crs of all factions quickly reached an
understanding to limit absolute prohi-
bition to distilled spirits.
President Wilson exchanged letters
with the Rev. DR.. James Cannon,
chairman of the National Anti-Saloon
leagues executive committee and
called senate leaders to the White
House in his efforts to harmonize diff
ferences and smooth the way for final
enactment of the food measure
Bone dry" legislation was written
into the bill before 1t passed the house
and the Senate Agricultural commit
tee amended the provision to prohibit
the manufacture of distilled spirits by
empowering the President to permit
the making of beer and wine.
Must Pass Quickly
In his letter to DR.. Cannon the Pres
ident said Senator Martin, the Demo.
cratic leader, had asked him to eX-
press his views on the food-liquor leg
islaticn regarding "the wisest and
most patriotic policy to be pursued
and added:
II regard the immediate passage Of
the bill as of vital consequence to the
safety and defense of the nation. Time
is of the essence; and yet it has be-
come evident that heated and protract-
ed debate will delay the passage of the
bill indefinitely If the provisions af-
fecting the manufacture of beer and
wines are retained and insisted upon.

hesitated to say to members of the

Poet More Like a Fairy.

In his book on Swinburne, Edmund Gosse asserts that the poet was more like fairy than man. He relates the following anecdote in this connec- ton. though the Swinburne described does not accord with the common con ception of a fairy: Miss Alice Bird recollects Swinburne arriving at her brothers house with the first proofs of Songs Before Sunrise in his pocket, and little later ir the evening his passion while he half read. half re- cited them to her brother and herself. In particular those in which Napoleon III was denounced he repeated with such violence, and. as she puts it anus ingly to me with such poison that his voice sounded like the hissing of serpents, while he jigged about the room, his hair flying out behind him and his arms Tapping and fluttering at his sides. At these times. when he was transfigured by excitement. his won derful head looked like that of young god, if only the weak mouth and the receding chin could be ignored. Di- rectly the storm of melody was over, and the poem put away, Algernon would sink down on sofa with the gentleness of child. and his voice would immediately resume its rich. soft cadences."
