National Prohibition
Up Against Obstacle

Washington, Feb. Conditional pro-
hibition faced today an unexpected OBJ
staele.
Charging that the national prohibition
amendment was not constitutiI1sVy
passed by congress, Representative Ne
Lemore of Texas, introduced a resolu-
tion demanding an. investigation of
the house vote by the Judiciary commit
tee.
McLemore bases his contention on
the fact that the amendment only pass
ed the house by a two thirds vote of
those present. The constitution provides
that amendments must have "a two
thirds vote of both houses" F" MeLemore
interprets this to mean two thirds of all
members.
The house vote was 2S2 to 12s, lack
ing eight votes of being two thirds of
the house membership of 425. The
amendment passed the senate by two
thirds of all members.
The constitution specifically provides

Planes Are Being Shipped
to France Ahead Of Time

Washington, Feb. 20.-Although the
original aircraft production plan of this
country called for the first shipment
to France in July, small shipment of
planes is already en- route, it was an
nouneed by Secretary of War Baker to-
day. They are all equipped with twelve
cylinder Liberty motors and have brok-
en- all records for speed and climbing in
their trial flights, he said.
For every plane that goes over there
must be two spare planes and for every
plane in the air there must be 46 men
ON the ground, In the light of these fig
ures, Baker said, the great problem now
is to secure the thousands of motor men,
repair men, metal workers and wood
workers who are to keep the planes in
condition. Both mechanics and motors
must be thoroughly overhauled every

O'clock club banquet at the First Meth
odist church last evening .were treated
to one of the most mastery and schol-
arly addresses ever heard in the city,
when Justice Wallace McCamant,
speaker of the evening, talked upon
the life and work of Washington. JUS
tiee McCamant said that although this
nation may not have produced any
really great literary men, yet we have
produced men who in strength and in
tegrity of character and personality
rank with the world S greatest. Wash
ington was of this type, said the speak
er. Justice McCamant closed by stat
ing that if Washington were here to-
day he would be for the prosecution of
the war until a real and lasting peace
could be had, and that he would be for
this country taking an active part in
the peace treaties and in moulding the
future ideals of the world for the new

Chief Poland states that the provisions
of the new traffic ordinance will be
strictly enforced especially as regards
running with cut-outs open, and that he
desires to give all fair warning. If
mufflers or cut-outs are defective, Chief
Poland says it would be cheaper by CON
siderable to have them remedied at once
than to wait till fine is paid in po-
lice court and then have it done. The
provisions of the ordinance relating to
parking, running without tail-ights, and
exceeding the speed limit will also be
made effective by strict enforcement.

the food supplies in the camps and
environments as from injudicious home
thoughtfulness and would be careful
attention. On the part of parents, re-
latives and friends of the men who
are in the camps. In respect to that
practice generally the following state
ment has been issued: 36
THE Council of National defense
desires to inform the people of the
country that abundant food is supplied
to the soldiers and sailors in the camps
and environments, and that the send
ing of food to these men by their
friends and families is not in any re-
cessary; that the aggregate quantity
of food thus sent is enormous and
that much of it is more or less spoiled
and consequently injurious to the men.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-01-28

Therefore, in the interest of the con-
servation of food, and also the health
of the men, the Council of National
Defense requests the public to discon-
tinue the sending of food to the camps
1t has been shown by investigation
in this state, and attention is directed
to that fact by the food administers
ton in Georgia, that the tender home
sentiment which naturally prompts
the sending of boxes or packages of
food to the men in the camps is,
from food standpoint not only SUI
perfluous but in nonconformity with
the very purpose of conservation
which is being carried out to mater
tally aid those men in the camp to
win the war. The war department
looks very zealuSly after the proper
