Ratification Of the pending prohibi-
tjon amendment has proceeded far
enough TO leave little room for doubt
as 10 IFS early triumph. II all legis-
hDwcs were in session it is probable
chat this year would see the end Of
the lcgallled liquor industry in the
United States. In spite of difference
u' opinion ON the justice or cNpedicncy
of the step. it must be accepted as
inevitable, and preparations should be
under way TO meet the situation.
Elimination Of the liquor traffic
means elimination Of an important

hould not wait until this has actually
occurred before considering how to
make up the deficit Revenue legis-
'7tion hastily enacted to meet a sud

favorable TO special interests than to
useful ones. At least all experience
SO indicates. That risk ought TO be

SWEEPING CLEAN
Head Of Seattle Dry Squad Arrested
Following Confession Of Bootleg
ger-Paid for Protection

SEATTLE, Jan. 4.-Sergt. George
Comstock, head of Seattle's famous
dry squad. who has been in the lime
light for some time on account of his
ruthless hunt for concealed liquor,
was arrested today by Chief of Po-
lice Warren and Sheriff Stringer in
connection with the federal author
tiles on information of a very SEN
sational character given by Faulken,
himself recently arrested on charge
of bootlegging.
Chief of Police Warren placed
Sergt. Jennings in the dry squad
rooms of the department. and as fast
as the men reported they were de-
tanned, and before the close of the
day it was estimated that at least a
dozen would be in custody. Sergt.
Comstock was taken to the county
Jail where he was held without bail.
The charges against Comstock and
his men are that they purloined
whisky by the wholesale following the
seizure of the stockand it's storage at
headquarters; and the charge that
Faulken paid for protection. in some
instance the rate being more than
three dollars per gallon.
Chief of Police Warren said that
Faulken claimed that the dry squad
officers let the whisky come in con-
cealed as auto polish. and that all
dry squad members were paid de-
finite percentage for protection.

CAMPAIGN STARTED FOR
FOOD CONSERV. ALTON \

Yesterday the first guns were fired
in Valdez for the conservation of food
that other towns in
Alaska have been organized for some
time. and that the restaurants Of the
city were observing meatless and
wheatless days District Clerk Arthur
Lang delivered a stirring patriotic ad-
dress upon the necessity of conserv-
ing our food supply to the Ladies Aid
the Congregational church. For thirty
minutes Mr.. Lang explained the OBJ
legations of the pledge to the ladies,
and asked them all to assist in this
important measure. Mr.. Lang also
delivered a short extemporaneous ad-
dress last night at the Empress The
atre along the same lines In the af-
ternoon Mr. e. E. Ritchie addressed
the member of the Woman's Guild
along the question of food conserva-
tion, also explaining the aims of the
Food Administrator. Posters and
cards were received on the steamship
Alameda, and will be distributed as
soon as possible.
While many persons may not be-
lieve that the food conservation plan
amounts to much, actual demonstra-
tion in New York showed that over
5000 tons of meat were saved in one
week. With the whole nation engag-
ed in saving, the amount of foodstuffs
conserved must be enormous. II ev-
cry person In the United States saves
but one match day the total amount
would reach 100000 boxes. It Is the
same with foodstuffs. But one mouth
full saved by each person would reach
the enormous total of a half million
pounds.

mission to intimate that people are
