Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 13.-UnIess state officials alter materially a plan agreed upon at a meeting late today of the state canvassing bord the new bone dry prohibition amendment will become effective midnight, Monday, December 16. At the meeting, which was attended by all members of the board except State Treasurer Higgins, who is i'll of influenza, the official preparation of the certificate deter imitation on the result of the ballot on the amendment was concluded and the certificate signed.
 Secretary of State James R. No land, whose refusal to attend a meet ing of the board called for Wednesday, resulted in temporary half of Gov ernor Gunter's plans to make the bone dry law immediately effective at tended todays session and announced that he would have the necessary cer- tification from his office in the hands of the governor some time Monday. He has receded from his original po- sition that it would not be fair to those who are awaiting the delivery of liquor under the Horton Permit law to make the new amendment effective before Wednesday.
 At the county clerks offices here no permits under the Horton law were issued today and advice to state of ficials was to the effect that county clarks generally needed MT. Noland's S recommendation of Thursday that the issuance of permits cease. Since the operation of the Horton law, beginning April 24, 1917, 2S6,409 permits have been issued in Denver. During the first ten days of December, 12,961 per mits were issued here.

 FIRST NAVAL CRAFT
 HOME FROM EUROPE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Return to home waters of the first ships of the American armada sent to Europe to combat German sea power, will be marked by a great naval pageant in New York harbor, about December 23. Secretary Daniels, announced today that he will go to New York on the Mayflower to review the fleet, which will be led by Admiral Mayo, com mander-i in chief of the Atlantic fleet, on his flagship the Pennsylvania, which accompanied President Wilson to Eur ope. In the home coming fleet will be nine dreadnaughts, 20 destroyers and more than 40 converted yachts, mine planters, submarines and other craft. The destroyer force, part of which is on the way to New York, includes many of the vessels first sent to the war zone, and some of them carry on their tunnels the stars awarded for destruction of German submarines.
 Owing to the character of some of the craft ordered home no definite date can be set for their arrival and it is possible that some of the smaller ships will not get back in time for the review, which will give the people of the country an opportunity to see the fighting ships that helped materially to defeat the German menace. Efforts will be made, however, to bring as many as possible of the returning ves- sels into port together.
 Instructions to Admiral Mayo called for the return of all naval craft that can be spared. Some portions Of the American forces however must remain on the other side temporarily to complete the work of carrying out naval conditions of the armistice.

Republican A. P. Leased WireI
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Telegraph and telephone lines would become per manent government owned utilities under a resolution introduced in the house by Chairman Moon of the post office committee. MT. Moon said the measure had been drafted in consulta- tion with Postmaster General Burleson, who had informed him that the legis- lation was approved by President Will son.
 The. resolution was referred to the postoffice committee, which soon will begin hearings on it.
 Government control and operation of the telegraph and telephone lines is limited by the existing resolution to the period of the war, but under the measure offered today it would con- tinue until otherwise ordered by con- gress." The resolution directs the postmaster general to negotiate con- tracts for the purchase of the tele- phone lines, subject to the approval of congress, and to have an appraisal made as to the value of the telephone property
 The right of the government to pur- chase the telegraph systems is. given under an existing law, according to ad- ministration officials. This law, passed in 1866, was designed to, give govern ment aid in the construction of tele- graph lines, and provided that the priv ileges of operations given the com panies were non transferable, excep that the government might purchase | the property.
 Provision was made for the appoint ment of five disinterested persons t appraise the properties should the gov ernment decide to purchase them. Twt of the appraisers would be named b, the postmaster general, two by tn companies and the fifth by these fou men. t1t

CZECHO- -SLOVAKS ARE
 ANARCHY BARRIER

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-The principal barrier to "bolshevik anarchy and bloodshed' in Siberia today is rapidly diminishing force of 30,000 Czecho- Slovaks, according to Captain F. Pisecky, first assistant secretary of war of Czecho- Slovakia, who is here enroute from the Orient to Prague. The CZecho- -Slovak forces, Captain Pisecky said, have lost more than fifty per cent of their effectives.
 "The moment for decision has come" he continued. The bolshevik- ist army is stronger than ever before because it is organized according to the German system and because of iron discipline which did not exist in the Russian army"
 The bolsheviki are not the real rep resentatives of Russia, Captain Pis- eckv said, and the Russian people will welcome a return to Normal condi- tiOnS.

WELCOME RETURNOF
 VESSELS ID TRADE

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The state ment made today in Washington that the war department is to turn back to the trade routes SOOOOO deadweight capacity tons of shipping was viewed in shipping circles here as one of the most important readjustment an- nouncements that has been made since the signing of the armistice.
 Representations made recently to Washington by the Chamber of Com merce showed that more than 10000 tons of export freight was tied up in New York alone, and that unless early relief from the shortage of tonnage was granted manufacturers and ex- porters would face heavy losses.
 The understanding here is that the ships designated for trade purposes will not be returned directly to the owners, but will be turned back by the war department to the United States shipping board and by that body allocated to various trades, prin- cipal among which will be South and Central American commerce.
 The necessity of getting the Ameri- can troops home as quickly as possible and the recent decision to use for transports some of the larger vessels engaged in carrying freight exclusively will prevent, it is understood, the turn ing to trade purposes of a considerable number of the larger ships for some time to come. Work of filling up a number of these freighters with troop accommodations is now under way here.

 "On the eve of this important election, which means so much to the country, wish to make it clear beyond all doubt that 1 stand for the abolition of conscription in all lands. Without that, the peace conference would be failure and a sham. These great military ma chimes are responsible for the agony the world has passed through, and it would be a poor ending to any peace conference that allowed them to continue. Any delegate that represents Great Britain at that conference must labor to the end have stated"
