by the required number Of states.
The advocates of world wide prohibition however
have illusions to the difficulties they will en-
counter abroad if prohibition to be as rigid there
as it is being made here speaker at the Columbus

set forth in the November l issues of

Five thousand American soldiers last
week wore chemically soaked white
masks all the while a $4,000 ton ocean
liner was speeding them to France
over the north Atlantic.
But when these soldiers, looking like

ords showed that for 2S,S9S safely land

At the same time this became known,
