Pastor Urges Succor y
For Chaotic Russia

That the proposed peace without an
neXations and no indemnities was
proposed in Germany to cloak her sim
lister purpose Of restoring sutocracy in
Russia under German domination
was the declaration OF DR.. James ES-
bert in his lecture The Humanitarian
aspect Of the Russian Situation" at
the Emmanuel Baptist Church, 1901
Columbia Road northwest, last night.
He urged American relief work in
that stricken country similar TO that
done in Belgium. as the people are
hungry and hopeless and many OF
them homeless. Such help he said eN-
tended to Russia at this time Of suf-
fering and extremity would not only
destroy the German influence. but
would restore the fullest confidence
in the allies.

For some time past We have sus-
picioned that in those States where
large German populations exist
hard-and-fast rules will be laid
down to prevent their wholesale
voting at this falls elections.
In Nebraska, Governor Neville has
already taken steps to see that
some 5000 to 5000 alleged German
sympathizers do not get a chance
to exercise the right OF suffrage.
While this curtailment OF the suf-
frage right should be exercised
with the greatest care. there is no
question but what the States have
right to take steps to prevent
these enemies from voting. They
are not entitled to the ballot any
way. one may reason.
In the case of Nebrasks there are
some 10000 German-born or sons
of-German-born voters, it is esti-
mated. One out of every five is
said to be inclined to oppose this
country. This army of disloyal can
very easily be detected by shrewd
patriots in each community, and in
the name of the boys which each
community has sent to the front

And smallest sparks start greatesI

BOTTLED WHISKY DEMAND
0VERWHELMS DISTILLERS
Call For Spirits Expected to Cease
After New Year, and Prices Drop.

greensboro, KY, November 25-The
Kentucky whiskey market has been
active the past week, and orders for
bottled whiskies are so great that bot
Ting houses at some distilleries are
four or five weeks behind in their
work.
Receipts at the internal revenue Of
fees of taxes on spirits withdrawn are
heavy, and at the Louisville office the
clerks are now three days behind in
issuing stamps.
Prices of whiskey since the pas
sage by Congress of the prohibition
law have not yet materially changed.
The younger WHISTLES made in 1916
and 1917 are quoted at $1.40 to $3.50.
On October l, 1918, according to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenues
reports, Their remained in bond in this
country 136,000,O00 gallons OF whisk-
les and spirits. There were with
drawn from bond in the past year
(since the $500 tax went on) 2S,OO0,-
900 gallons.
1t is estimated there will still re-
main in bond on July 1, 1919, when
the wartime prohibition begins, So
100000 gallons.
1t is believed in the market that the
present strong demand for older whis-
kies will continue until the holidays,
but after the new year there will be a
slump in sales and prices.
The increased war tax on WHISTLES
contemplated in the bill now before
Congress will not begin until after the
first of the new year.
