NO FURTHER DRY LAWS.
Prohibitionists Will Stand Pat If
Supreme Court Upscts
War Time Act.

Washington, ID. C., Dec. 11.--Dry
leaders IN Congress have no well-defined
plan Of sction in the event that war
prohibition IL brought to an end before
January l6 They do not intend To
rake serious efforts to enact legislation
unless, IA one dry" expressed the pr,-
hibition view today, f'the country turns
into n veritable riot
The drys will deplore any action that
will let whisky run free, even for few
weeks, but they realize that i, would be
next to impossible to put through any
new prohibition legilslation TO stem the
tide
Representative Randall, author of the
wartime prohibition act, knows of moth
ing that can be done in time. He de-
clared Yesterday If the wartime act should
be declared unconstitutional. he would
offer at once a resolution calling on the
Railroad ministration tn state why
ears had been allowed for the distillcfs
in time of fuel shortage.
The proposed prohibitivc az of $500
COO pint on whisky, advocated by the
international Reform Bureau, was ac-
tnally laughed at today by drys in Con-
grcss. They did not stop to give 1t se-i-
ous consideration. Chairman Volstcad
Of the Judiciary Committee, decla ed +,
however, thet such tax would doubt
less be constitutional in view Of preyi-
Gus decisions Of the United States Su-
preme Court Mr.. VoIstcad said he had
no plan to press fight for such tax.
Chairman fordney, Of the WAYS and
Means Committee, said the prohbitive
tax would not be considered in his com
mittee. to which it would be referred if
formally proposed in a bill. No one
could be found today seriously thinking
of urging the Reform Bureaus scheme
before Congress.
The drys feel secure in standing fast
against it, in view Of the Anti-Saloon

BAN ON COAL TO STICK
FOR CONSIDERABLE TINE
Director Hines Says Dislocation
of Transportation Can't be
Adjusted Right Away.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE disloca-
ton which the strike has created in the
production, transportation and distribu-
tion of coal cannot be instantly remcdied, =
said Director General Hines in n statement
last night, "and pending readjustment
it is highly important for tho public to
continue to exercise great caution in the
consumption of coal, and it is hoped there
will he due appreciation of the difficulties
which cannot be Immediately overcome
During the strike the weekly produc-
tion OF coal was cut from II 900. 900 to
10000 600 tons to about 5000 900 tons,
and this much reduced tonnage was mostly
mined III Pennsylvania and West Virginia
Widely distant portions of the country
which were ordinarily dependent upon the
other coal fields had to be supplied from
these and Other unusual sources OF supply
"fhc result has been that the Railroad
Administration has been compelled TO
transport coal over the most unusual
routes and for distances far in ex"es Of
the normal haus This has resulted in
equipment being scattered widely to other
parts of the country. A period of time
will be required for the complete relocation
of this equipment and meanwhile il ls
not TO be anticipated that All mines can
be supplied with cars to tho full normal
extent.
"The Director General has seen com
mittee of the National Coal Association
and pointed ont these difficulties, and
urged that MS rapidly as that organization
had information concerning the e.
pectcd resumption of mining operations
such information be duly communicated
to the Railroad Administration, as well
rs to the lo-al railroad officers. There
was manifested policy TO assist in this
matter as far as practicable.
"Tho Railroad Administration will
continue 10 distribute coal to protect
those regions whose supply has been in
adequate until they can be supplied from
their normal sources
Just as soon as practicable regulations

Handling Of Prisoners.
The handling Of the prisoners is pure
Japanese, however. Delivered at the
courthouse for trial. the prisoners are
marched from the police wagon in
single file handcuffed and tied togeth-
er by stout rope that circles each
mans waist and Is twisted through his
obi.
The most unusual feature of all to a
stranger is the fact that each prisoner
has his head covered by wicker
mask. more like an inverted waste
paper basket than anything else, the
object of which is to prevent recogni-
tIon Of the prisoner, to permit him to
hide his shame under the disguise and.
very possibly. to prevent the whole
file from making bolt for liberty.
The sight of prisoner so arrayed is
ghastly, the mask bringing up the sug-
gestion Of the hangman's cap. Once
in the prisoners box, however. the
masks are removed, while the prison
ers sit with deeply bowed heads In an
attitude of the utmost humility.

record of the Young Mems Christian

vested $4,5000O0 in overseas huts and
their equipment up to the first of the

cost of more than $4,000 month.
1t gave away in combat areas from last

Paris.-Although the tumult and the
shouting have died over here, and the
captains having assisted in effecting
the exit OF the kings, are themselves
beginning to depart, the American pro-
gram of war work with the American
expedltionnry forces "carres on"
with Increased resources and effective
ness.
The other day the American expedf-
tionnry forces took stock of the agen-
cies from the homeland that are serv-
ing the doughboy. The stock-taking
was preliminary to the newly institut-
ed general headquarters program for
co-ordinnting the work of these ngen-
cies to the best advantage of the men.
And the results are illuminating. With
approximately 100000 doughboys still
In France and occupied Germany. there
II now one American war worker over
here for every 100 men and one hut
operated by an American war work
Organization for every 900 men. The
totals as given in the resume for all
the war agencies, exclusive of the
American Red Cross, are 9.81S men
and women workers and 1855 huts.
OF the total number of workers, $3.50
are representatives of the Young Mems

organizations at 1893. OF the total
number of huts. 1907 are operated by
the Young Mems Christian associa-
