An Enemy's Trench

Maryland will almost certainly be the fourth
declare in favor Of the federal prohibition
amendment. The other three were states which had
already adopted prohibition Maryland had previously
rejected statewide prohibition that the prohibition
lists have their first battle on enemy territory
The Maryland victory did not seem a likely one
Maryland rather Baltimore the base of supplies
for the national capital since the District Of Columbia
voted dry. While it expected that the pro-
hibitionsts would make gains in wet territory and
eight wet states. there were many states which
seemed much likely than Maryland to enroll
themselves in the dry column.
1t had been the hope of the liquor advocates that
-the wet states would stand solid and had been the
fear Of the prohbitionsts that many who had voted
for tate-wide prohibition would view the absolute
suppression Of the traffic in different light They
not quite sure that all the prohibition states
would declare for nationwide prohibition
But their fears in this respect have been in a
srest allayed by the vote of three legis-
atures in dry states and the almost certain adoption
OF the measures in wet state
There twenty five states in which prohibition
is in force. There are three whose legislatures are
pledged to prohibition With the certainty that
Maryland will adopt it if all the prohibition states
are held in line. only seven more are needed to make
the manufacture of and traffic in liquor a crime
against the federal laws

SUNCOURT To HAVE
/. AN ADDITION SOON

That an addition to the Suncourt is
being considered by Mrs. Lyman Ben
nett, who built the handsome apart
ment house at Roosevelt street and
Fourth avenue. was not denied yester-
day, although Mrs. Bennett stated that
nothing definite had been decided.
When this clever young woman un-
dertook to erect an apartment house on
the plan she carried out, she was dis
couraged by practically everyone she
approached who insisted that phoenix
was not ready for the building she
contemplated. Refusing to change her
original plans in any detail, she COM
pleted the structure and furnished it
in perfect harmony. Long before the
entire building was ready for occu-
pancy, apartments We're leased, many
being occupied while the last finishing
touches were being made
The entire eighteen apartments are
now leased by tourists. winter residents
and Phoenicians. Mrs. Bennett is be-
ing constantly urged to add another
! story. and declares that if she does not
build this spring. she will in the early
| autumn.

Lieutenant X Hundley of Camp Johnston Fla
is learned when the war is going to end and has
ritten his brother H. W. Hundley of the Water
sers association of this CITY, about it, as follows:
Absolute knowledge I have none
But my aunts washerwoman's sisters son
Heard policeman on the beat
Say to laborer on the street
That he had letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek
From Chinese cooley in Timbuctoo
Who said the negroes in Cuba knew
Of a colored man in Texas town
Who got it straight from a. circus clown
That a man in the Klondyke heard the news
From a lot Of South American Jews
About a somebody in Borneo.
Who heard man who claimed to know
OF a swell female society fake
Whose mother-in-aw would undertake
To prove that her husbands sisters niece
Had stated in printed piece
That she had who had friend
Who knows when the is going to end

Lack of Parental Advice

There is an intimaton in discussion going on in
Texas papers that the world is the result of
improper bringing-up The discussion precipi-
tated by the Beaumont Enterprise which observed,
our bet is that the kaisers pa told him, Don't
start anything you can't finish -
Whereupon the Galveston News takes up the sub
icct as follows:
The kasers father never told him. much of any
thing, partly because the kaiser be began very
early in life regard himself smarter than his
daddy and partly because the father was for many
of his life in bad health. He reigned only
a few weeks months from sick bed and died of
cancer The young kaiser upon ascending the throne,
dispensed with the advice givers who had served his
immediate predecessors, Bismarck among them. But
atery the kaiser has Enthusiastically manifested signs
of WEAKNESS His voice is reserved almost
clusvey for the outpourng of the theatrical oratory
which is industrously agented by those whose
business it is keep the "all highest" advertised
The kaiser is believed by many to be eager for
honorable ending of the war but finds himself
hemmed in by the war party which he has done
much to create-the party being the military
chiefs and the provincial kings and grand dukes
princengs and special prvilesisI whose Importance
is inherited by right of their ancestral nobility This
party in the rising tide OF democracy menace
to their private and personal interests and the only
way they know how to combat it to knock it down
with swords
They demanding conquest in order that
il gorify the throne and reflect upon themselves
they who surround the throne. This glorificaton,
they imagine, will be sweet to the people, who
VIII give the credit, heretofore to the lords and
barons and the reignng princes. But democracy is
deeper than these men understand. 1t is rum
bling from cavernous depths, and the mtarists are
uneasy, angry and gravely doubtful. They are, in
fact being taught things they dreamed of in

The following report from an Amer
lean Red Gross officer in charge of a
front line canteen has just come to
hand:
my fast growing family is keeping
me jumping. Last night at 8 o'clock
I must have fed five hundred men,. I
got to bed at ten p. M, and was called
at midnight and from then until six
a. M, fed eight hundred more. A
relieve was on; they strung along all
through tthe night and I cannot tell
you how appreciative they were Of
that little cup of hot chocolate, and I
was low on cigarettes; SO to the heroes
who had just won three villages and
taken fifteen hundred prisoners I gave
q half packet Of smokes! To divide
the packet with such men made me
feel ashamed, but they seemed entire
ly satisfied and practically every man
said: 'Merci, bonsoir, mon Captaine,'
as he went out of the yard; Also, as
the men stood round the rolling kitch-
chen in the half light Of the clouded
moon, one heard time and again, All,
C'est bon!' Sometimes as they passed
by the crossroads 1 would call to them
to wait and get refreshments, but they
would first march to their billets and
deposit their loads although tired and
hungry"
The American Red Cross canteen in
question is situated just behind the
firing lire and worked for the benefit
of the French troops. American
"doughboys" were formerly in this
particular sector.
