Baltimore, Dec 27--Ratificstion of the proposed prohibition amendment to the federal constitution now be- fore the states for action was opposed by Semour c. Loomis, of Newhaven. Conn, secretary of the Social and Economic science section of the American Association for the ad- vancement of science, in an address at today's meeting of the association here.
 The amendment, he contended, pro- poses to put into the constitution a matter of police regulations when that document ought to be limited to a statement of the basic princi- ples of a representative government. MT. Loomis held that the proposed amendment has never tbeen properly assed upon by congress. in that, two thirds of the membership of each house had not voted for it.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 21.-(COrrcs. pondence of The Associated Press. )- 'Bulargian political leaders profess 10 be gratified by the entrance of { he Entente fleet into Constantinople and express the beielf that it assures an equitable and reasonable solution of the interminable question of who shall control the Straits of the Dardanelles. This problem has been the constant nightmare of most of the Bulgarian states. particularly of ,'ulgaria, Ru- mania. and Greece. These countries always have considered the possibility of Russian occupation of Constanti- noplc to be serious menace 10 their own national existence
 This fear was one the causes which led Bulgaria to take sides with the Central Powers in the war. Later when Russia abandoned her exclusive claim to Constantinople, Rumania' 8 entry into the war on the side of the Entente was facilitated.
 Political circles in Bulgaria are profoundly impressed by the glddy rapidity with which events of far reaching international importance now are transpiring The folly of the policy pursued by the former King Ferdinand and his government i'll Bull garia has been brought home ill d striking manner to Bulgarians by the recent developments. The same feeling is expected to prevail among the young Turks. who preferd to trust Germany rather than Great Britain and France. although it is said these Powers and Russia gave to the Portea formal declaration uarangteein@ the 'n- teglity of Turkey if she would remain neutral in the war.
 The great mass of the T rks, as well as all other natiOnaliti $ in Turkey are said to be overjoyed to witness tn. termination of the rule fthe ogvern- ing slique in that country ana rne suc- cess cf the Entente powers. They now realize, it is said. that Germany cared nothing for the condition Of the Turks but was solely concerned with her own commercial and industrial schemes af- fecting Turkey.
 The general feeling of Tranquility has succeeded the recent troublous times and all political parties replaae confidence in the ability of the present democratic ministry of Bulgaria to extricate the country fr m it's present condition.
 The organization of a society in So- fla to promote the idea of Balkan is criticised here on the ground that it is premature.

Bomb Proof Dugouts, a Days Jour- rey From Battle Lines, Sheltered This Hun Hero From Harm.

Spa, Belgium, Dec. lG.--(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press. The headquarters of the kaiser and his general staff is disclosing some extraordinarily queer facts these days about the men who engineered the world war. Take. for one Hin- denburg, Germany's saper-maa, around whom reams of poetry have been written disclosing him as fearless Napoleon leading his troops to victory. AS a matter of fact, he spent a great deal of time in a won- derfully constructed funk hole" or dugout underneath the ground of his villa here.
 Spa, it may be noted, is almost on the German border and so far from where battle lines used to be that 1t was almost a days journey in fast motor car to get in around of big guns. The kaiser, too, had sin1ilar hiding place at Neubois, near a com. ic opera trench system, about which he is said to have parade for the bane- fit of motion pictures. At each of their villas there were delicate electrical instruments which would set up furi- ous buzZing whenever an airplane ap- preached anywhere near. At the first sound from this contrivance Hindenburg and the kaiser used to run to shelter, it is reported People who worked about Hindenburgs es- tablishment said that he was con tinually running for cover
 Americas representatives, on the international armistice commission are now occupying Hindenburg's !, ICY, oytl when they discovered this under groun refuge of the great warrior. The entrance was through the dining led down to tiled anteroom, which, good pantry for the Americans.
 From the tiled room there was an- other flight of steps thst led down to the real dugout. This was blocked by g huge iron door about one inch in thickness. which could be locked from the inside only. Within it was fast
 ned by double bolt which would 'o oredi+ to an American banking es- teh'ishment.

Refuses Bank Charter.

The Treasury Department author
ICES publication of the following cir.
cular, addressed to all national
banks:
The Comptroller of the Currency
recently approved an application
for charter for new national
bank in a certain Western State, as
there was, apparently. an opening
for bank in the community in
which it was to be established and
the applicants seemed to be men of
responsibility and means and some
prominence.
Subsequently, doubt arose as to
the loyalty and patriotism of the ap.
plicants. and it was ascertain ed
that, although the six applicants
for the charter were reported to be
men of considerable means-sever.
al of them claiming to be worth a
quarter of a million dollars or more
the aggregate amount of Liberty
bonds of the first and second issues
to which the six applicants had
subscribed was only $500. several
of the applicants for the charter
having taken no Liberty bonds at
all, and their aggregate subscrip.
tons TO the Red Cross had been
only $149.
The comptroller revoked the au-
thority given for the organization
of this proposed national bank. on
the ground that men of means in
these times who show so little pa-
triotism and so little public spirit
in the matter of making subscrip.
tions to Liberty bonds and to the
Red Cross are unfit to be placed in
charge of any national bank.

A Bad Beginning.

In little town in Oklahoma the
other day band of super-enthusi.
astic patriots paraded the streets on
horseback, carrying coils of highly
significant rope. They were array
ed in the sheets and hoods of the
Ku Klux Kan and carried banner
warning three villagers by name to
buy Liberty Bonds or suffer.
Very likely this Initial manifesto
ton of the spirit of the mob law
will be as far as the paraders 90.
1t certainly will if the village au-
thorlties make known their inten-
tion not to trif1e with law vioiators.
The only reason for mentioning the
affair is that il furnishes a GOOD
example OF the manner in which
such outrageS as that which dis
graced CoilinsVilIe begin.
Ii is with these earliest manifes-
tationS of the spirit of the mob that
the authorities can deal most eff.
fectlvely and with the least harm
TO anybody. Treating them as
jokes or trit1es paves the way to
the tribunal of Judge Lynch.
On June 8, 1918, there will be
total eclipse of the sun passing over
the United States. The path of
totality will enter the United States
in the State of Washington aud will
travel in Southeasterly direction
through Colorado, Mississippi and
intervening States, passing off the,
continent near Orlando, Fla. The
shadow will reach the Mississippi
River at 5:37 p. N. on June s, 1918,
