Canadians Consider Buying
Part Of Liquor Surplus

Ottawa. Dec. 23.-Reports were
current that Canadian liquor deal
ers might attempt to salvage"
many of the hundreds of thousands
of gallons of red liquor" which
must be shipped from the United
States before the Federal prohibi-
tion amendment becomes effective
January 16.
Whether dealers would seek Ameri-
can imports, it was said, depended
chiefly. on whether they considered
it likely that Provincial acts pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor would be
repealed by the various govern
mcnts.
The repeal of Dominion wartime
liquor legislation, which prevented
interprovincial traffic, manufacture
and importation of liquor. has ere
ated a peculiar situation i'm which
liquor may be freely imported, but
not sold because of prohibition acts
effective in every province but Que
bee There sales are restricted to
beer and wine.

Congressman Schall was the only

advantage. He also attacked General

TREATY WILDE
RATIFIED BEFORE
JAN. l6, BELIEF
Some Senators Express Con
fidence of Early Action
After Holidays

! Washington. Dec. 23. - Some OF
the more optimistic senator's eN-
pressed confidence that the rauh-
cation would come before January
6. thus formally establishing peace
and permitting the President to lift
prohibition for brief wet spell be-
fore the constitutional prohibition
amendment becomes effective on
that date.
There were other senators, how
ever, who took less stock in the com
promise movement. II Mas pointed
out that President Wilson might
again intercede if reservations ac-
cepted by members of his party in
the Senate did not meet his appro-
val.
Await President
For the present. however, there
was every indication that senators
would go ahead with their compro-
mise negotiations without further
light from the White House, Sena-
tor Hitchcock said he had no APP
pointment with the President and
indicated that he did not now in
tend to seek one.
There was wide discussion to-day
of the activities of Bernard Nj.
Baruch. of New York, financial ad-
wiser to the Peace Conference at
Versailles, who has seen several sem
ators during the past week and is
said to have discussed the Treaty
with them. Senator Hitchcock said,
however, that he did not regard Mr.
Baruch as speaking for the Presi-
dent, with whom he recently had Il
conference.

future by serving notice that they

AS a result of Sundays conference

Can you tell me of an0theR,
OF q sweeter word than mother
One that fingers with yes ever all
the years!
If you can let the Angels shout it
So thereIl be no doubt about it
Let the fount Of heaven open with
it tears.
But YOU cannot find another
A more precious word than mother,
And the multitudes Of sorrow It con-
fines,
For no matter what the pain
She is mother just the same.
Giving US . holy love that binds.
Oh, how many sister, brother.
Were the heart aches given mother,
When We might have caused little
Had kinder word been spoken
When her heart was nearly broken,
|By q wayward, thoughtless girl o. boy
buI we never C1H, nV ssSN~S
Cause q love like hers to sever.
It's 4 gem that God alone can give
It's the sweetest and the purest,
And a love that does allure us
And follows Us the longest day We
Hive.
Oh the sacred love Of mother,
Speak It softly, there's no other
Who would lineer IN the valley for
our birth,
Then for shame We Oft forget her
Many years without letter.
Lets hurry up and greet her, show
our worth.
There vfll come . day my brother,
When you cannot see your mother
God viii take her to that golden rest;
Do not take the chance to miss her
Hurry howe and greet and kiss her.
And from God apd mother both, you
will be blest.

Over 100000
Drug Addicts
Reported Here
Health Officials Say That
100000 Prescriptions
Were Issued Illicitlv
During the Last Year

Startling revelations on the scope of
the Illicit traffic in drugs here were
made yesterday by Federal and city
officials active in the crusade against
this traffic, which was inaugurated here
Tuesday night when internal revenue
officers arrested six physicians and
four druggists for alleged violations
of the Harrison act.
Health officials said that about l.
100000 prescriptions for illicit use Of
narcotics have been issued to drug
addicts by INSCRIPTIONS physicians in
New York City in the last year.
The failure of the Harrison and
Boylan acts and the high cost of
whiskey have been responsible for the
increase in the number Of addicts to
between 100000 and 1000 in the
metropolitan district, according to
Health Commissioner Copeland.
Between thirty and forty unscrupu-
lous physicians and like number Of
druggists have been making good in

cravings of narcotic addicts, Federal
agents reported.

here. Seventy per cent Of the victims

Many of them are discharged soldiers
and aaiIora. The effect of the Federal
Harrison act and of the Boylan act,
state measure merely has been to shift
the drug traffic from the hands of the
'pedler" to those of the unscrupu-
lous physician and druggist, according
to internal revenue officers.
Physicians trafficking in drugs
have written so to $50 prescriptions a
day each, and the patients of the six
physicians arrested Tuesday totalled
800. Commissioner Copeland said
