THIS is FOCH'S FIGHT
NOT THE GERMANS

a time when molasses is hard to get,
and the government is limiting the
people to two pounds of sugar a
month.
If this government continues the
liquor traffic, we permit the brew
ers to destroy annually over 3,00O,-
900 tons of coal, according to the
Fuel Administrator, Mr.. Garfield.
That is over 5000 tons day,
enough each day to furnish more
than 1000 homes with coal to run
them through the winter So far no
one has been able to calculate the
amount of coal consumed by the
more than 100000 saloons in the
nation. In view of the fact that the
government is calling upon the coal
operators to furnish 100,000,000
tons Of coal to the government this
year in excess of what they have
been doing, and that President Will
son is appealing to coal diggers and
operators to do their best in pro-
ducing coal, and in view of the fact
that the coal operators recently said
by resolution that they could not
furnish the needed coal for govern
ment purposes and at the same time
furnish the saloons and brewers with
coal, it seems to be criminal negli-
gence for Congress not to pass War
Time prohibition
If this government continues the
liquor traffic, we waste the labor of
one-half million men and money to
the extent of $3,0O0,000,0O0 an
nually when men and money are
needed materially to win this war.
In view of these facts, to talk
revenue as a reason for continuing
the liquor business seems ridiculous.
That may be an easy way to collect
revenue, but in the last analysis
such revenue is paid b ythose who
buy and drink, who also pay ten
times as much to the saloon as ever
goes to the government treasury.
War time prohibition will save this
country nine-tenths of the amount of
money now spent for drink, and will
collect the one-tenth that goes to the
support of the government as reve-
nue. by some othr and bettr mthod.
This matter, having been passed
by the House, is now before the Sen
ate, and will come up OH August 26th
for settlement.
Friends of the liquor traffic are
talking revenue, and are hoping to
defeat war time prohibition. Re-
member this revenue is to be largely
increased in the revnue bill that is
now undr consideration by Congress.
On the other hand the Prohibi-
tionists are urging the people to
write and wire their Senators that
such revenue comes at too dear a
price, and that the United States
oannOt a afforA IN piyp co muph man
power. money, coal and grain for it.
Neither can this government afford
to harbor the Kaiser's best ally to do
the Kaiser's dirty work in the United
States at any price.
If you want war time prohibition,
write or wire your Senators this
week.

Series of NeighbOrhOod Prayer
Meetings to Be Held.

A great union revival service is be-

tinue till Easter Sunday. The Tulane
theatre has been secured for the meet
ings and the ministers have been
meeting frequently to get all plans
we'll in hand for the meetings The
entire city will be most vitality in
terested in this series of revival serv-
ices and it is confidently expected to
see splendid results in every avenue
of life and in every home. A series
of neighborhood prayer meetings are
being. planned for the coming week,
to take in the whole city and great
things will be prayed for.
1t is hoped to secure the services
of a singer to take charge of the
chorus work and the singing will be
"a fine feature of the entire series of
meetings. The churches are enter
ing most heartily into the plans, and
the public will be kept well Informed
as the plans are being developed. 1t
is hoped that every person will, so far
as possible, make their plans so as
to leave out everything that will in
terfere with their being at all the
services. Let the entire month of
March be set aside for this most
srlendidly patriotic purpose, for no
loyal citizen can do anything of more
real value to our country in this, her
time of need, than to lend a hand in
developing the spiritual resources Of
the people.
So, for the sake of home, country
and church, let us put ourselves into
this great service.
A fuller program will be announced
through the papers from time to
time.
