LIQUOR MAY Be ISSUE
BEFORE OHIO VOTERS
Frank B. Willis, Republican Candi-
date for Governor, Champions
Bone-Dry Law.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30.-The
liquor question, which will be an issue
in the state primaries August 10. also
bids fair to be a dominant issue in the
Ohio general election next fall. Frank
B. Willis, former governor. and q can
didate for denomination on the repub-
lican ticket. has been proclaimed cham
pion of a 'bone-dry" Ohio by his pro-
ponents. Gov. James NJ. Cox, who il
seeking denomination for third term
on the democratic ticket. and other
state officials have no opposition for re-
nomination.
While Mr.. Willis has been asserting
that Ohio should go dry as a war
measure. some of his enemies have been
criticising his attitude in 1915 in advo-
eating an embargo on shipment Of war
munitions. Though recognizing the
right of this country nder,international
law to sell munitions, Mr.. Willis favored
being in keeping with strict neutrality,
he said in his published correspondence
relative to the embargo.
May Be Principal Plank.
1t is stated that if Mr.. Willis Is NOM
mated state prohibition and ratification
of the federal prohibition amendment
probably will be the principal plank in
the republican platform. A state wide
prohibition amendment will be voted
upon at the November election. Another
state amendment initiated by the liquor
interests would require a referendum
vote on legislative action ratifying the
federal amendment. 1t also will be
voted upon.
The drys are ignoring the proposal
of the liquor interests and are CEN
tering their efforts on the state pro-
hibition amendment and the election
of dry members to the general as
frage Association, however, Is test
ing the validity Of the proposed wet
amendment in the courts, as its adop-
tion would require that federal
equal suffrage proposal also be rati-
fed by referendum vote.
For all state officers, except treas
urer. there are from three to eight
candidates seeking nomination on the
republican ticket. Besides former
Gov. Willis. Edwin Jones of Jackson,
former state chairman, and John H.
Arnold Of Columbus. former lieutenant
governor, seek the gubernatorial
nomination. There are eight candi-
dates for lieutenant governor.
Former Senator Dick a Candidate.
A feature of the primaries is the
entrance of Charles F. Dick Of Akron,
former United States senator, as a
candidates for the republican nomina-
tion or Congress in the fourteenth
district. He was defeated for the
senatorial nomination in 1914. Old
politicians are wondering whether he
can come back. He has three op-
ponents.
Representative Robert Crosser and
William Gordon, who are seeking re-
nomination in Cleveland districts on
the democratic ticket are being vigor-
ously opposed by John ]. Babka and
State Senator Charles A. Mooney, who
have the support of the, Cuyahoga
county democratic organization. Cros-
ser and Gordon have been criticised
for voting against the military serv-
Ice law and certain other war meas
ures. The Cuyahoga county demo-
cratic organization has withdrawn all
opposition to Representative Henry 1.
Emerson, republican.

WHY MAIL TO SOLDIERS IN
FRANCE HAS BEEN DELAYED
Militray Authorities Now Distributing
Letters - Postmaster General
Burlesons Explanations.

Complaints against non-delivery OF
letters to American soldiers abroad
continue to be made by parents. de-
the service will be improved from
now on, since the military authori-
ties have taken full charge of mail
delivery to the boys "over there"
The Star is in receipt of letters
from parents declaring that "a family
has had no word from their boy for
more than three months" and that
tons of mail are being held up in
New York." One mother says: Il
have a young son In France and he
has received but one letter from me
in nearly four months. although !
have written him three times week
ever since he went away"
Since June 80. 1918. the United
States Army has conducted the trans
portation and delivery of the mail to
soldiers. Gen. Pershing cabled the
War Department July Is: MILITARY
authorities began assumption OF con-
troll Of the mail service and the re-
tai employees with soldiers on June l.
Full control was completed July l."
Mr.. Burleson Doubted Plan.
my knowledge Of postal affairs
gives rise to grave doubts whether
this new arrangement will result IN
complete satisfaction" Postmaster
General Burleson told the Senate IN
his communication of July 3. in re-
Spouse to q resolution calling upon
him and the Secretary Of War for re-
norts as to what steps were being taken
to improve the service.
Difference Of opinion between the
Post once Department and the War
Department as to the necessity OF
keeping secret the location Of troops
led. 80 the assumption Of control OF the
msfis by the Army. The Postmaster
General summarizes the issue thus:
Why Mail Is Delayed.
Those charged with responsibility
for the conduct Of the war in France
contended that military necessity re-
ouired keeping secret the movement
and new location of troops; also. that
1t is not advisable to permit this IN
formation to pass into the possession
of a civilian organization. which Is
the status Of our postal organization
in France.
"The delay to delivery Of mail to
large military units caused thereby
sometimes involved from one to Ave
carloads Of letters. papers and parcels.
and ranged from several days to two
weeks in time. All other obstacles to
an expeditions delivery of mail to
large forces of men under field condi-
tions could be overcome by reasonable
cooperation between the postal and
military authorities. but this obstacle

was fundamental,

was fundamental.
Under the circumstances the Post
ONCE Department reluctantly asked
the War Department either to change
its point of view and furnish promptly
to the postal authorities Information
as to the location Of troops, SO that
the mail, might more speedily follow
the men as they moved, or to take
over the entire movement and delivery
Of the mail in France.
Secrecy Of Location Insisted On.
'The military authorities adhered
firmly to their original conclusion
that they could not with safety dis
close to a civilian postal organiza-
troops. Although disagreeing with
the military authorities as to the
correctness of their position, the Post
ONCE Department accepted their judg-
ment on this purely military matter.
After careful study Of the subject,
the military authorities. a satisfac-
tory Encouragement of the service was
reached
According to this arrangement the
Army assumes responsibility for the
soldiers mail from the time of Its
at port Of embarkation in the United
States until its final delivery into the
hands Of the individual soldier at the
front, and the Post ONCE Department
assumes responsibility for the mail
from the soldiers from the time of its
receipt by the postal authorities at
the French seaport until its delivery
into the hands of the addresses in
the United States"
How Double Control Works.
Just how this double-action control
works Is explained by the Postmaster
General as follows:
Mail for the American expeditionary
force Is distributed to regiments and
companies at two large Army postal
stations. one In Chicago and one in New
York. No congestion Is permitted to
occur at either station. AL the mail for
the soldiers Is promptly separated and
pouched for dispatch. At New York
sacks to the military authorities. who.
I am informed. dispatch 1t to the extent
that space is available on every military
vessel or commercial liner that will
most expeditiously convey 1t direct to
France. Upon its arrival at a port in
France the mail is dispatched and de-
livered to the soldiers entirely by the
military authorities.
Mail from the American expedition
ary force to the United States Is de-
livered by the military authorities into
the custody Of the postal officials at
two French sea ports. where 1t is dis
tributed direct to cities between the
sailing of vessels for the United States.
Arriving in .Sew York, the residue, or
unworked rortson Of the mail. is worked

Hundreds Of Complaints Filed.
There are on file at the Post ONCE
Department hundreds of complaints
from parents, and the department has
attempted to investigate every COM
plant. The handling of 30.167.6s8 let
ters and 1t,622,282 newspapers and
parcels. making a total Of 41,7S9,S80
pieces of mail during the first six
months of 1918. is pretty big job. and
the Post Office Department believes
that the Army will find 1t SO.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, head OF
the embarkation service of the gen
eral staff. is in charge of the handling
of the mails to the soldiers in France
now. From the minute that letters are
turned over by the railway mail serv-
ice to the officer at the port OF en-
barkation the postal authorities have
nothing more 20 do with them.
No Complaints in Navy.
AS opposed to complaints against
the mail service to soldiers. practi-
cally no complaints are made about
service to men in the Navy. The Post
once Department has full control over
the Navy mail. and it is declared that
fullest confidence exists between the
two as to the sailings and change in
destination of ships. thus facilitating
the transmittal of letters.
Handling mail for the nearly 5000
naval officers and men in European
waters, who are on more than $50 ves-
sells. is one of the vital problems that
the Navy has had to solve. says a
statement recently made public by the
committee on public information. But
delays that were unavoidable in the
early days of the war have been over
come. and now letters reach their des-
tination as speedily as there are ships
to carry them.
How Efficiency Is Maintained.
1.-The present efficiency of the Navy's
mail service is due not only to the ef-
forts OF Vice Admiral Sims and the
naval officials who have devoted so
much effort to eliminate delays. but to
the efficient organization of the New
York post Office and to the cooperation
given in London" says the statement.
