The completion of the full program

partment. BY various means this liquor
finds its way into the possession OF
enlisted men Of the navy and marine
corps stationed at these places. and
the moral and physical welfare of these
men is thus being seriously endan-
gered.
Smaller Zone Ineffective
A so-called dry zone of only a half
mile in width surrounding these sta
lions would be ineffective fnasmuch, as
in certain localities a considerable area
in which the Objectionable trade in
liquor flourishes would not thus be
covered. It is therefore the strong
conviction of responsible officers in
support that the dry zone about these
places should be the full FIVE miles in
width, irrespective of the fact that an
incorporated city or town lies within
such distance.
The department strongly concurs in
these views"
The Newport Situation
In regard to Newport the Secretary
noted communications from the COM
mandant Of the naval district, from the
Newport ministers, from the war camp
community service committee and the
chief of ordnance, urging that intoxi-
cants be barred.
I'm the vicinity of the city Of Newport
he said, "are located the naval training
sta ton, at which there are at present ap-
val torpedo station, at which although
there are only about 400 enlisted men,
very large quantities Of high explosives
are stored. the safety of which is serious
~ jeopardized by the possibility of intox-
cated men. either civilians or enlisted
force in it's vicinity. The crews Of ships
visiting Narragansett bay should also be
considered among those affected.
Representations have been made by the
authorities at the training station that in

listed who are receiving their first train

questionable age which makes 1t most
necessary that under these new conditions

Mr.. Daniels referred particularly to
Objectionable conditions at Vallejo. near
Mare Island which a letter from the
Mare Island commandant referred to as
"a short business street with % sa-
looms" said to be controlled by a Ger

Wisconsin on Trial
1.-THE state of Wisconsin Is on trial be
fore the bar Of public opinion" said Mr..
DcnneIly. The people of this state and
the people of the nation expect the Legis-
loyalty. They expect us to condemn and
retuke those in high and representative
place who have sought to bubble and
hamper and obstruct our government IN
the successful prosecution of the war.
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette has by hi-
actions and his conduct brought the ia :
name of the state of Wiscontin into i'll
repute The people of this nation will
not be satisfied with any mere service
loyalty. They expect US and demand Of
US to rise to the occasion and publicly

Mr.. Evjue's remarks were extensive.
He prepared the following synopsis of
them:
"Assemblyman Evjue charged that mon
Fey had been used in the city of Madison

dc. He stated that leader in the anti
La Toilette propaganda who had been IN
financial straits had been advanced
enough to take care Of obligations OF

sc ing the propaganda continued.
mfr Evjue gave facts concerning
doings in the city of Madison with ref
erence to La Toilette and contended
that the campaign against the senator
had been manufactured by the prof.
teers and newspapers. He said that
what was true of Madison was true of
Wisconsin and was true'of the United
States.
HE pointed out that the resolutions
adopted by the Wisconsin School ST.
perintendents' Association had been
framed by W. n. Parker of Madison
and Supt. Cook of Ripon, long time bit
ter political enemies of La Toilette. He
said that 20 members Of the CONNER
cial Travellers Association met and
passed resolutions denouncing La Fol-
lette. Seven voted against the reso-
lutions. And vet, said Mr.. Evjue. the
newspapers sent out word that 500
commercial travellers had denounced

that Senator La Toilette was expelled
