Pershing's Farewell Letter to the A.E.F.
FRANcE, February 2s, 1919.


My Fellow Soldiers-Now tn at your
service with the American Expedition
ary Forces is about to terminate, l
can not let you go without personal
word. At the call to arms, the patriot
ic young manhood of America eagerly
responded and became the formidable
army whose decisive victories testify
to its efficiency and its valor. With
the support of the nation firmly united
to defend the cause of liberty, our
army has executed the will of the peo-
pie with resolute purpose. Our democ-
racy has been tested, and the forces of
autocracy have been defeated. To the
glory of the citizen soldier, our troops
have faithfully fulfilled their trust, and
in succession of brilliant offensives
have overcome the menace to our
civilization.
AS an individual, your part in the
world war has been an important one
in the sum total of our achievements.
Whether keeping lonely vigil in the
trenches, or gallantly storming the
enemy's stronghold; whether enduring
monotonous drudgery at the rear, or
sustaining the fighting line at the front,
each has brayely and efficiently play
ed his part, By willing sacrifice of
personal rights; by cheerful endurance
of hardship and privation; by vigor,
strength and indomitable will, made
effective by thorough organization
and cordial cooperation, you inspired
the warworn Allies with new life and
turned the tide of threatened defeat
into overwhelming victory.
With consecrated devotion to duty
and will to conquer, you have 10y
ally served your country. By your
exemplary conduct a standard has
been established and maintained
never before attained by any army.
With mind and body as clean and
strong as the decisive blows you de-
livered against the foe, you are soon
to return to the pursuits of peace. In
leaving the scenes of your victories,
may I ask that you carry home your
high idealssnd continue to live as you
have served-an honor to the princi-
Piles for which you have fought and to
the fallen comrades you leave behind,
1t is with pride in our success that !
extend to you my sincere thanks for
your splendid service to the army and
to the nation.
Faithfully,
JOHN j. PERsHING,
Commander in Cheif.

Enforcement of The Nation Wide Prohibi-
ton Law.

Plans for the enforcement of nation
wide prohibition were announced last
Wednesday by Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Daniel O. Roper.
The National Prohibition Act makes
the Bureau of Internal Revenue the
directing agency in the enforcement
of both war time prohibition and pro-
hibition under the constitutional
amendment. Responsibility for its
enforcement, however, is not confin-
ed to the Bureau but is distributed
among Federal, state, county and
municipal officers, every one of whom,
Commissioner Roper said, is expected
to do his full part.
Successful administratio of the pro
hibition laws, Commissioner Roper
declared, will be measured largely by
the manner in which other than Federal
agencies meet their requirements. In
local Communities local officers are ex-
pected to take the initiative. Not to
do SO, he said, will result in such ac-
tion by Federal officers and it will be
their duty to bring to the attention OF
the law abiding citizens of such COM
munities the failure or dereliction of
local authorities to assume their re-
sponsibilities under the new law.
Pending the organization of an in
dependent force provided for in the
National Prohibition Act, employees of
the Internal Revenue Service, quail
flied for the work and who can be
spared for tax work, have been di-
rected to cooperate to the fullest
possible extent with the public and
with state, county and municipal Off
GERS and with officers Of the Depart
ment OF Justice in the enforcement of
the act.
To insure against delay, collectors
and agents have been directed to con-
fer with United States district attor-
neys with regard to the proper meth
ed Of obtaining and presenting ev-
idence, and to make all necessary ar
rangements to expedite court proceed
ure.

peal is made by the Commissioners oi

prohibition laws.

Dead Water Halts
Speed of Vessels

One OF the most curious marine
phenomena known 70 seamen is that
called by Norwegian sailors dead
water" which without any visible
cause makes vessel lose her speed
ard refuse to answer her helm. The
sailors only definite knowledge of It's
origin Isl that it exists solely where
there is q surface layer of fresh water
resting upon the salt waters Of the
sea. Several explanations have been
advanced by the captains of ships for
the effect OF dead water, the common
est of which is that the two water
layers move in different directions.
The true explanation, however, re-
Gently offered by Swedish navigators
and verified by mathematical calcula-
tion and direct experiment is that in
addition to the resistance waves" at
the surface the vessel creates d sec
ond line of subaqueous waves be-
tween the two strata Of water.
The experiment carried out to de-
monstrate the truth of this theory
was an exceedingly pretty one. A
large plate glass tank was first mount
ed on 3 wooden frame. The tank was
then flied to q certain depth with
salt water and layer of fresh water
was carefully poured on to the surface.
so that two separate water layers were
obtained
The salt water was blackened with
liquid Chinese ink before the water
layers were prepared, and in this wss
the different layers were made clearly
visible. A boat model was then towed
along the tank and silhouette Of the
waves produced was obtained by plac-
ing white screen at a short distance
behind the tank. The waves were also
photographed by hashlight and the re-
suits showed conclusively that waves

With 2 Weeks Dry
Law Enforcement
Revenue Commissioner Saws
Wartime Prohibition Is

New York 7rtbnns

washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Satisfac-
ton with the first two weeks record
under the prohibition enforcement act
was expressed by Commissioner of
internal Revenue Daniel c. Roper
to-day.
MY confidence in the desire of the
AMERICAN people to observe the law is
being fully justified he said. "The
law~hreaklng element is small and
growing less"
As proof of his assertion Mr.. Roper
offered sample report which he said
came from the revenue collector of
one Of the most important districts
This report read:
"On October 20 issued statement
nrpealing to all moral agencies of this
district to cooperate with US in the
The statement appeared in the press
of October 80. A number of saloon
keepers of the district Immediately
surrendered their state licenses and
discontinued entirely their retail
liquor dealers business For a few
days after the national prohibition
act BECAME effective there were, as
usual, number of arrests on account
of public intoxication. The chief of
POiiCe anu myself were IN agreement
that these intoxications were not the
result of public sales, but came from
private. supplies.
"For a great many years this city
has maintained what has been com
monty known as sunrise court and
sometimes morning court The
offenders principally tried in This
court were persons charged with pub
lie intoxication. The business OF this
court has greatly dwindled since the
prohibition act became effective Here
tofore Sunday was the courts busiest
day. Last Sunday there were but five
persons arraigned before the court
charged with intoxication. The num-
ber of such delinquents has become so
small that the court has made an
nouncement that this morning or
sunrise session will be discontinued.
THE liquor dealers organizations in
the two largest cities of this district
have passed resolutions pledging them
selves to respect and obey the law.

Court Won't Tilt
The Liquor 'Lid,'
Says Anderson
Assumption That Volstead
Act Is Unconstitutional Is
Absurd, He Declares, and
Ohio Doesn't Affect Issue

TROY, N. Y, Nov. 16.-William II.
Anderson. state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, in an address this
morning ut the First Baptist Church,
discussed the constitutionality of the
Federal enforcement act passed over
the Presidents veto by Congress, say
ing the assumption that the act is un-
constitutional is absurd.
This act is in two parts" said Mr..
anderson. "A short portion provides
Tor the enforcement Of war prohibition.
ana a longer part contains complete
provision for the enforcement of the
prohibition amendment to the Con-
sututlon and provides for the manu-
facture and handling of alcohol for
permitted purposes. This division was
made so that if anything should hap
pen to the wartime prohibition act the
measure for the enforcement of the
amendment would not be in the slight
est degree affected.
II the war prohibition law is valid
then unquestionably the measure to en-
force it is valid. If the Supreme Court
should hold that the war prohibition
law is invalid. then obviously that por-
t'on OF the Federal enforcement law
iall with 1t, leaving the enforcement
features applying to the amendment
still intact.
"Ihe Anti-Saloon League does not
believe the Supreme Court will hold
this act unconstitutional The termina-
ton OF the operation of the war pro-
hibition law is hung upon two con-
tingencies. % the conclusion of the
present war and CD thereafter until
the termination of rehabilitation, the
date of which shall be determined and
proclaimed by the President etc. The
war is not concluded until after the
peace treaty has been ratified and rati-
tications have been exchanged. Fur
ther, assuming that the treaty is rati-
fed with reservations, the war is not
legally concluded before these reserva-
tions have been accepted by the other
powers engaged in the war with the
United States. The present war is not
concluded until the Austrian treaty
also has been ratified There is no ap-
parent prospect of any wet spell be-
fore the amendment goes into effect.
I'm the event the Supreme Court
should declare the war prohibition act
unconstitutional, then the only possible
way of preventing the sale of liquor
before January Is would be by the i'm
statements that the Anti-Saloon League
would advocate such tax have been ab-
solutely without foundation.
There has been q great deal Of loose
talk about the effect of the Ohio vote
and many people are unable to under
stand the reason why some PROPOSE
tions we're carried dry and some went
wet 1t is significant that enough
mistakes to account for the wet mar
gin were found in Cincinnati, where
enough similar mistakes were found
two years ago to keep the state wet
after it had been actually carried dry
The Anti-Saloon League has taken
steps for an official recount Of the vote
because. whatever may be shown, fraud
is unquestionable. In our judgment
the Supreme Court of the United
States will not uphold the Ohio So
called referendum.
There were two other states, making
thirty-eight in all, which ratified on
