[Statement of J. A. White, Manager of
the Ohio Dry Federation.

rStatement of J. A. White, Manager of
the Ohio Dry Federation.
The liquor interests of Ohio are resort
ing to their usual campaign OF deception
and are trying to capitalize the influenza
epidemic at Camp Sherman to advantage.
They have persistently, through person
al agents and a few newspaper that
would carry their false statements, said
that liquor was being shipped by the car
load to Camp Sherman, to be used to
check the epidemic that is causing the
death of so many of our splendid boys.
This statement, if true, would not mill
itate against the Prohibition amendment
in Ohio, because the amendment per-
mits the medical use, and all other non
beverage uses of Intoxicating liquors.
But the statement is FALSE. Major
Tomes +. c. Duvall, Camp Adjutant,
said:
There is not a word of truth in
the statement that carloads of whis-
key is being shipped and used to
counteract the epidemic at Camp
Sherman. An offer was made to fur
nish whiskey, and was emphatically
refused"

why the wet organization, with their
campaign of fraud and deception, should
be wiped off the mapof Ohio. And while
our President and the allied armies are
demanding an unconditional surrender

to US to compel an unconditional surren-

the dear old Observer, stand on the Ma
tional Prohibition amendment to the
constitution? We feel that he is for Mr..
Willis for Governor, because Mr. Willis
when Governor gave him his job on
the Mercer county liquor license board,
and he is boosting his benefactor to the
best of his ability. Mighty little has he
said why M. Brookhart should be elect
ed to the legislature-nothing on the
only issue that makes Mr.. Brookhart, $
election to the legislature possible, his
unequivocal declaration for the amend
ment. If Willis were elected Governor
he would cut no more figure in the pas
sage of the amendment than our friend
Adolph That question will be decided
by the next Legislature, and If we do
not misjudge the temper of the people
of Mercer county, Mr.. Brookhart Will
represent them in that honorable body
next winter.

The poor old Obserser says the Pres

believe it. Seems he is the only issue
to Judge by the actions of the people OF
the nation He asks for the support of
certain men of whom he has personal
knowledge and confidence born OF the
present crises in human affairs, the most
of whom are of his own party. Petty
political organs of the Observer type,
getting their opinions ready made from
headquarters, would put monkey
wrench in the cogs of the administration
machine and deny him the support he
frankly seeks. The President has fire.
quently crossed party lines to get the
s.rvices of men whom he believed could
best aid him. Even this does not suit
Republican politicians. They want some
one with an ak to grind, to find fault
with the existing order of things That

able one. The party of the great Lin
cold has some queer material, and II he

Plans Honors for Mayor.

Under the terms of a measure intro

duced at the instance of Sir Lomer
Gouin. premier. abolishes the present

provisions including:
Abolition of the board of control; re-
tention of the city council, composed of
the mayor and twenty aldermen. one

ATHLETICS DURING WAR PERIOD
DEPENDS MAINLY ON SCHOOLS
At Least, That Is Opinion Expressed by
George Green, Physical Director at
Princeton Prep-Other Gossip.
BY a. C. BYRD.

According to belief of George Green,
former physical director at St Adams
/, and Tome schools. athletics for the
greater period of the war must depend
mainly for their interest in scholastic
competition. 1t is Green's opinion
that college sports cannot survive
throughout the entire war if the war
lasts as long as now seems probable.
Green, who is now in charge of ath-
letics at the Princeton Preparatory
School. expressed himself as follows
while on a recent visit to Washing
ton:
TT is hard to see how college ath-
tetics can keep up--I mean intercol-
iegIate competition-for the whole period
OF the war if the war continues for two
or three years. Particularly is that
true i'll the case of the new law rela-
tive to the registration or men Wno
have attained twenty-one years of age
SINCE last June. You know there is
no doubt that Intercollegiate sports
are exceedingly expensive and that
the men most suited to take part in
them are over twenty-one. Already
the question of expense has cut down
competition in all branches of ath-
letlcS everywhere and has completely
eliminated some forms. Take, for in
stance. Brown University; it lost over
think that Brown can stand that pace
very long?
TO my mind scholastic athletics will

financing them are such. that the war
VIII have very little effect. Also the
material in the majority of high schools
and big prep schools will he of about
the same caliber. So | think tnat athlet-
les most assuredly depend for the next
Two or three years, provided the war
continues indefinitely. as it bids fair to
do on competition between school
teams.
Central High has abandoned its sched-
