MICHIGAN NOW IN LIST
OF PROHIBITION STATES
Dry Law Becomes Effective, Closing
3,2s5 saloons-New Hampshire
| Also Abandons Liquor Selling.

DETROIT. May 1.-Michigan Joined
the ranks OF the dry states at midnight
last night. At that hour the constitu-
tional amendment adopted by the
voters eighteen months ago became
operative and affected 3.2s5 saloons in
the state.
The prohibition law is regarded as
one Of the most rigid ever drafted, its
terms permitting the manufacture, sale
or importation of alcoholic beverages
only for medicinal. mechanical and
sacramental purposes. and even limit
ing to a very small quantity the
amount that may be purchased on a
physicians prescription.
While the saloons of Detroit. which
now becomes the largest city in the
United States dry by the vote of its
citizens. have been closing a few at a
time for several. days. most of those
that were open last night were crowd
ed to tho last minute.
The state Anti-Saloon League already
has laid plans to combat a movement
to legalize the sale of light wines and
beer.
CONCORD. N. H.. MAY More than
500 bars went out Of business last
night and the state became dry" for
the nrst time in fifteen years when the
liquor prohibitory measure enacted by
the legislature of 1917 became opera
tive.

Y. NJ. C. A. WORKERS WITH u. S.
SOLDIERS ON BATTLE FRONT

American soldiers who have Just gone
into the battle lines in France are ac-
companied by Y. NJ. c. A. men. who will
give them every possible comfort and
assistance, according to advices just re-
ceiyed by cable at the New York ASSOC
citation war work headquarters and for
warded to Washington and other war
work centers.
There already were more than $50
American Y. NJ c. A. secretaries on the
battle front, and this dispatch indicates
that more have gone within range Of
the German guns. These meh move for
ward as do Gen. Pershing's forces. and
will remain with them as long as
Americans fight on the soil of France.
In it's work in Europe and America
the Y. NJ. c. A. now is spending $5,000.-
900 month. There are 1900 Y. NJ. c. A.
workers in France and England and
5000 in American camps. The numbers
are being increased here as fast as men
can be obtained, and men are being sent
abroad as rapidly as arrangements can
be made to transport them. One of the
demands upon the association has been
for more secretaries in connection with
the increased troop movements abroad,
for secretaries are on board every trans
port.
At Gen. Pershing's request the asso-
citation has taken over the entire can
teen system with the American Army in
France. This alone will require the
service Of 5000 volunteer workers. and
an effort now is being made to obtain
at least 900 business and professional
men, men OF high standing to go to France

Federation PREFERS
WORK OF ST. GAUDENS
Barnard Statue Of Lincoln, Designed
for Great Britain, Disapproved
by Arts Body.

NEW YORK. May 1.-Aesolutions urg-
ing that the Barnard statue Of Abraham
Lincoln should not be sent to Great Brit
ain to be placed in London, but that the
replica Of the st. Gaudens statue. oered
in 1913 by the American Peace Centen-
nary committee and accepted by the
British peace centenary committee,
should be sent to England as originally
planned. have been adopted by the Arts
Federation Of New York, according to an
announcement made today.
The resolutions added that I'VE urge
the enactment Of the proposed 1egisla-
ton that works Of art should not be sent
as gifts from this country to other ma
tons without the approval Of the Ma
tional Commission Of Fine Arts at WASH
ington. or some other body competent to
pass judgment on the artistic merits OF
the gift"
The resolutions were prefaced by the
statement that the statue donated to the
British should Certainly represent the
character and personality Of the great
emancipator," that the st. Gaudens statue
was generally admired by the Ameri-
were not known to the public and for rea
sons which have never been satisfactorily
explained. another statue OF Lincoln,
which has certainly never received the
general approval of the American public,
was substituted"
According to the federation, "there is
danger that this substitution, being ac-
cepted by the British committee from
motives OF courtesy. may plant in Lon
don a representation which would be false
to the American ideal of the great
American"

chased thirty-three old and feeble

secure as many of the old horses of
the city as possible, for they usually
are diseased and communicate their
diseases to better horses. and the dis

to us to have their teeth put into con-

plates for them, but as the army re-

we have to put in bridges. This is
unfortunate, because a bridge means

The third time she had had to
flee. Three times she had been OBJ
liged to leave her home, or what
was left of it, and start out on an
unknown journey. With her worldly
goods reduced to the size OF q
napkin-bound bundle, this old wom-
an. mother of French soldiers, had
turned her back on all she loved.
and gone out into the night. an
enemy at her heels and the unknown
before her.
Do we realize what that means;
oh, women of the West? Can we
visualize for a moment the tragedy
of 1t all?
Yet there are women in France
who have done that thing daily for
four years, and all without word
of complaint, with never sigh
or tear.
Ours has been happier part. We
have, lived in plenty and peace. True,
we have given our sons and have
divided our food. But OF the horrors
Of war we have known none.

condition of those mothers of France
Our government is pledged to help. 1t
has given its word to aid to the. limit
of its capacity. It calls for the

opportunity. You say you have sub
scribed three times before? The
women of France have been driver
out of their homes three times, each
time more cruelty than before. Car
we hesitate to save them a repetition
of that suffering. Ours is the lesser
part, however much 1t may seem t.
entail of sacrifice and deprivation.
