THE fight for the ratification of the
national prohibition amendment
begins with the Kentucky and
Massachusetts legislatures, which will
be in session from last week on. The
"drys" are claiming sure majority
for ratification of the amendment in
both assemblies and the claim il not
seriously contested by the "wets." A
canvas of the members of the New
York legislature has been made by
the New York Herald, which con-
cludes that the prohibition amend
ment may be passed by the Empire
state within a few weeks. The pre-
liminary court shows that Is senator's
are in favor of the amendment, % are
opposed, while 10 are doubtful or nom
committal. In the assembly Ga ia
vor the amendment, 81 are opposed
and 81 are doubtful or nPn-committal.

IF you are in the dumps over the
war, you will find a lot of comfort
in the following paragraph from the
Springfield, Mass, Republican: Ma
poleon had overwhelmed Prussia.
Austria, the Rhine states and all
Italy. One of his brothers was king
of Spain. The ruler of Sweden was
one of his generals, Bernadotte. The
czar of Russia took his orders from
Paris. England was alone in the fight
against the conqueror of Europe. That
was in 1Sl0-five years after the ma
val battle of Trafalgar The point
of all this in the question one may
ask of the present foes of the German
war lords Why be discouraged?

war ravaged countries. These chill
dren have been given the happiest
Christmas they could know in their
desolated surroundings. Homes
where want was in evidence have been
frightened with many comforts that
the money of the American soldier
could provide, and hundreds Of or
phaned children were adopted"
which means that they are the wards
Of the American soldiers while the
war lasts, during which time they
will not know the pinch of want-will
be clothed and fed and educated. In
other words, the American soldier in
France is acting under the same i'm
pulses that would govern him on his
nome soil and among his own people,
and is taking joy in doing it.
