Revenue Commission
er Appeals to Governors of
States to Assist in Stopping
Illicit Traffic,

Ibf hCHhiNO JOURNAL WtNti
Washington. Jan. 24.-An appeal to
governors and members of congress
to support a nationwide campaign
against illicit liquor distillers, was
prepared today by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper, whose reports
show "moonshine' traffic increasing
rapidly. The campaign will be di-
rected mainly against southern dry
states, where the location of most OF
the military camps had added a spe-
cial reason for the cleanup move
ment.
Commissioner Roper will ask gov
ernors to furnish state agents to CO.
operate with government inspectors in
putting illegal stills out of business.
The appeal will probably be issued in
II few days.
In line with the movement to inn
prove liquor and vice conditions about
military camps, new restricted zone
regulations have been prepared by
the war department and the depart
ment of justice ana will be announced
soon. They have been drawn in an
effort to make it more difficult for
persons who buy liquor and give It to
soldiers, to escape penalties of the
law More severe penalties also may
be imposed on soldiers who drink liq-
uor.
The department of Justice today re-
ported that United States attorneys
have prosecuted more than 600 per-
sons during the last six months fol-
violating the barred zone regulations
about army camps. Most of the of.
tenders were accused of selling liquor

HOW SOON WILL
AMERICA REALLY
ASSIST ALLIES?
Major Murphy, Just Returned
From Europe, Says Question
Is Asked Everywhere by
People of France.

New York, Jan. 24.-Everywhere
in France the question is being asked /.
How soon will America be here?"
according to MAJ. Grayson M. p. Muir
ply, former head of the American
Red Cross work in France, at a recep-
ton given in his honor here today,
You do not know what America
means over there" he said. Every
where you go, whether you are talk
ing to soldiers in the trenches, men
in the hospitals, the widows and the
mothers in the rear; whether you are
talking to statesmen, business men
college professors or what not, the
question is always the same, how
soon will America be here?'
This war will be won by the ma.
ton which has the grit to stick out
longer than the other fellow. Amer
lea has the greatest opportunity and
the greatest obligation that was ever
given to any nation in history, and
pray to God that we will live up to it,
THE man in this country who for
any selfish purpose, personal vanity
pride of party, pride Of locality, OF
pride of consideration, stands in the
way of the prompt and effective de-
velopment of our country to fight in
this war is worse than German in
the trenches.

POLICE BREAK UP
CONVENTION Of
s. D. SOCIALISTS
Delegates Are Told They May.
ReasSembIe but Must Not.
Submit to Domination of
William C, Renter.

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. Delegates
to the state convention of the socialist
party here, which was broken up by
local police yesterday by order of
Mayor Wells, announced today that
the work of the convention had been
completed before the break came. The
mayor took action, he said, on re-
ports of alleged seditious activities
which, it was asserted were instituted
by William C. Rempfer of Parkston,
S. d., executive secretary of the South
Dakota branch of the Peoples Coun-
Gil of America, and delegate to the
meeting.
1t was said no further meetings
would be held although city officials
gave notice to the Socialists that they
would be permitted to reassemble. The
socialists were warned, however that
Rempfer would not be permitted to
dominate the convention.
No official action has been taken
against the five unknown men" who
seized Rempfer on the streets here
yesterday and drove him five miles
out of town where they released him
with orders never to return.
