THE TIMES: AUGUST 23. 1918

They turned and curved and at last stumbled out upon an inclosure-or what might be called an elevated yard-around which was a collection of stone novels. Everything is built
 of stone in this country. Faces ap- peared at the b1eared windows of the novels and then people began to come out of the doors Evidently we were an event in the community. Going up to the closed door of one house,
 our worker pushed it open and peer ed within. A woman, with very little
 clothes, welcomed her and pointed to
 what I at first thought was a heap
 of rags on the floor. The woman touched it gently with her dirty bare
 foot. There was convulsive move ment of the heap. Some of the rags uplifted, and out peered the bearded face of a6 emaciated man. He look ed curiously into the face of our
 woman worker, and then fearfully at the doctor, for the latter, being of the Red Cnoss, had on the uniform of a captain in the United States l Army, and the people, driven as they l have been by Turks in uniform ever ! on the lookout for extra taxes, look at all uniforms askance. Reassured, l however, he told his symptoms and
 was prescribed for with as much dis patch as was consistent with an ex-
 animation. There was but one room
 in thisss house. and that room had
 probably been as it was for thou
 sand years There was practically
 nothing in it as far as I could see;
 heaps of clothing in one corner, not a
 table, not a chair, but children, near
 naked, moving about under foot"

ARE ANTI-SALOON AGENTS HELPING
 TO SPREAD GERMAN PROPACANDA?

ment is beaten. It appears that there is majority for the amendment greater than that which overruled the point of order made against it. Thus prohibition is to be forced upon the country by the indirect, indefensible means of a legislative rider on a general appropriation bill.
 Much might be said of the keen irony of the framer of the amendment, which is flor the purpose of conserv- ing the man power of the nation and to increase efficiency in the production of arms, war munitions, ships, and so on. The testimony of MT. Samuel Gompers, of MT. Hurley, and MT. Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board is sufficient comment on that pretended purpose" The purpose of the bill, like the purpose of every mea- sure dear to the "Drys' is to bring about prohibition for prohibition S sake, by hook or crook. Prohibition is the beginning, middle, and end of their statesmanship, the one and only desirable and necessary good. The Legislative representative" of that fourth branch of our government the Anti-Saloon league, also abounds in irony when he cries that "the peo- I pie are thoroughly 4c'oused and in earnest in their demand for this war 1 legislation as 8 necessary part of the peace programme. The Anti-Saloor league, or it's well-paid agents, are thoroughly aroused all the time and calmly impersonate "the people" | Wantonly to throw away a revenue of some $500, 900, 900 a year to please the Anti-Saloon league is a strange thing to do when all the sources ot taxation are searched and tried. The country will have to pay the piper fol the 'Drys" to dance to. What of it Perish everything but prohibition!
 Congress, and even the war board against which there has been little tC criticize, should weigh this matter deeply before taking action that migh create disaster. Many points are in volved.
 The enforcement of prohibition up
 0n the people by either branch of tn government service at this tin
 might not compensate for the cost t
 the government in man power, incom
 from revenue collected or for the per ] sonal loss to the thousands who hay

 has been licensed under the law Germany might be behind the pro ] hibition movement. You never ca, tell

HOME IN JERUSALEM

Major Theodore Waters, of the Christian Herald, who is organizing relief work in Palestine, gives this graphic picture of the destitution found in Jerusalem:
 'we entered the Old City through the New Gate and took our way down the crooked alleys which are called streets here. Some of these were cov- cred ways, and on the roofs were stone novels in which people lived out their lives. The stencil of cen- turies was in the air of these tunnels. Strange people watched us curiously, and I thought resentfully, as we stepped gingerly along in our endea- vor to avoid the filth under foot. The place seemed to be one long lavatory. After a while we came to an old door in the wall. Our woman work CT, who had been there before, turned and pushed open the door and began mounting a flight of. stone steps

Buffalo Enquirer, July 13.)


 The paid agents of the Anti-Saloon league and its various laterals have become so persistent in their present activities to make the country bone dry' that one might not be far rom the fact if the insinuation were made that they are consciously tE' nncOn- sciously spreading German propagan- da throughout the country.
 Nothing would please the imperial S4ernan government more than to nave this country torn asunder by dis content as a result of enforced pro- hibition which would wipe out a cus- tom millions of laboring men have enjoyed for many years.
 His majesty, the kaiser, would then find the greatest nation with which he has to contend, a seething mass of unlea shed labor writhing in discon- tent. and declining to respond to the call for united effort. He would . shriek with joy to see the unified mas ses who are at the present time amaz- ing the world with their astounding performances drop their tools and bring their activities to a standstill. He would howl with joy if the ship building programme were to be inter rupted or even curtailed- He would slap the crown prince on the back if he oOuld see American labor in a state of turmoil as a result of the dis content spread among them by his ennissaries who are said to be behind the prohibition movement.
 These are not idle thoughee. They are worth deep consideration.
 Suppose members of the Senate which are now considering the pro- hibition amendment were % discover later that they had been the dupes o1 German propagandists. Suppose they were to find out that many of the professional reformers who spoke al their hearings were in the pay of the German government to keep the ques tion agitated and to do everything il their power to distract the attention O. Congress from issues directly pertain ing to the war.
 The Kaiser has been at work a. lonl time in this country. Startling reve lations are coming to the surface every day. The news of his purchase of great newspaper in New York i among the latest. More will follow
 If the kaiser thought he could fo ment discontent by keeping prohibi ton stirred up during the war, doe anyone doubt that he would do it And measured along with other req men wouldn't the type of man upo1 which the foundations of this coun try were built and upon which the su perstructure has been maintained compare the professional and paid re former along with the kaiser and hi half baked son, the crown prince?
 The New York Times, commentin upon the rider attached to the agri cultural bill, had this to say yester day:
 In the food stimulation bill has bee intruded an utterly irrelevant and in perialistic amendment, prohibiting tn sale of distilled spirits, save for e1 port, after December 31; the use, al ter November l, of food products t make beer and wine, their sale afte December 31. This is special legis lation in a general appropriation Sound parliamentary procedure de manded that the intrusive amendmer be cast out of the bill.
