Omaha Protestant clergymen and
laymen today came out in vigorous
disapproval of the attitude Of Catho-
lie clergymen headed by Archbishop
Harty, who declared their opposition
to prohibition of the liquor traffic in
exclusive interviews with The Bee
last Saturday.
"The Catholic clergy are all wrong
in their attitude on the liquor ques-
tion," declared Rev. u. G. Brown,
district superintendent Of the, Metho-
dist church. THE police records, the
county jail records and the savings
bank records and the grocery store
and shoe store records all show that
prohibition has been Of incalculable
benefit to the people of our city and
state. .1en take their money home
now and pay the grocer and the shoe
man and pu. it in the banks for a
rainy day. They don't put it into
stuff that ruins bodies and souls.
THE statements Of some of the
Catholic clergy that there Is more
liquor in Omaha now than before
prohibition cannot be proven. They
arc totally wrong. Lloyd George,
Theodore Roosevelt and men like
them are in favor OF prohibition

The cases and bottles are interest

are covered with Chinese characters

The bottles are made of earthen-

They are covered with labels in
Chinese characters and one English
label, which says: "This Bottle Con-
tains of Wine l Pint, II Fluid Ounces.
Distilled by Wing Lee Wah, Tientsin
and Hongkong." The packing of
the case is rice straw.
One Of the bottles was opened in

the aroma of the wine is so strong
that it has permeated the entire floor
with its peculiar, subtle, sleepy
opium-y smell.

the soft corn that it should be moved

of it will be lost. We also wish to
secure a larger movement Of all grain,
which has been retarded by car short

Peace Agreement

London, Feb. 11.-Nothing from
any Russian source has been re-

Kiev has been in Bolshevik hands
