Pennsylvania or other Prohibition
organizations in which the commit
tee has confidence"
The reason of this move was ex-
planned in this way, says the Phila-
delphia Press:
IF j. Denny O'Neil or Vance Nc
Cormick should declare themselves
out and out for prohibition, and re-
ceive the nomination of the Dry
Federation, then the candidate for
governor agreed on would withdraw
and the party adopt the candidate of
the Dry Federation. and so on,
through the other Offices"
The convention was presided over
by r. E. English, of Mercer county,
and sitting with him on the platform
was Secretary II. +. Dittman, of
Philadelphia.
State Chairman Prugh in making
his annual report, pleaded with the
Prohibition party to join the new
National party, which already rep
resents a union of four other reform
organizations, saying that this union
of forces would be most effective in
the big fight to elect legislators of
the state to take their places in 1919,
when the big drive for national pro-
hibition is expected to be taken up.
He raped men who had taken the
national party name in this state
without authority.

Two Tons of Shipping Per
Man Enough to Send Men
Abroad, Says Sec. Baker

Washington, Feb. 13.-Secretary
Baker submitted to the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee yesterday
confidential data relating to the
transport of troops to France, which
was requested at his last appearance
before the committee. The Secretary
had testified that the War Depart
ment would be able to land 500, 900
men in France early this year, and
that it was mot unpromising" that
/ 500, 900, in all, would be in France
by the end of the year.
The Military Affairs Committee
wanted to know upon what the Sec
retary based his estimate as to the
possibility of getting 100000 men
over, and the data submitted yester-
day touched upon that point.
Mr.. Baker is understood, in his
memorandum to have calculated
upon two tons of shipping for each
man sent to France, the War De-
partment counting upon that amount
of tonnage as Forthcoming. Estimates
made by members of the Finance
Committee put the shipping needed
to transport and maintain each man
at five tons. Senators Hitchcock and
Wadsworth have obtained that esti-
mate from shipping experts.

found new party. but to establish
an inter-party organization. In proof
of this fact they point TO the ar
rangements which have been made
for holding caucus during their
