TWO FRENCH LINERS
TAKE $500 ABROAD
Scotch Delegate to Anti-Sa-
loon Convention Finds
Vets Gaining Force.

The French liner Espagne and the
| White Star liner Lapland sailed yester-
| day for Europe with $500 passengers
aboard, an unusually large number of
| seagoers in these postwar days OF little
| travelling.
| On board the Espagne was John Arch
| deacon Murphy. an insurance broker of
Buffalo, who Is going to join Frank 7.
Walsh and Edward Dunno as a delegate
| of the Friends OF Irish Freedom He
declared that prospects for political and
religious freedom in Ireland are brighter
than ever before. A full report on con-
| ditions In Ireland at the present time
| will be made public in the United States
shortly, Mr. Murphy said.
Others on board the Espagne were
| Prof. Andre Andreaden of the Greek
| Legation at Washington. who is going to
Greece to confer with Premier Vent
| zelos Mrs Frances tti-Casazza wife
| of the head OF the Metropolitan Opera
Company (Mme. Alda), who will Join
her husband in Milan: Mrs. Philip Ly-
dig, who is going to France for a rest ;

French banker.
Sentiment against this country going
dry this month is strong. on the word
of absolutely no one but w. ]. Allison,
one of the five Scotch delegates TO the
International Anti-Saloon convention
held recently in Washington. Mr.. Allison,
accompanied by his four dry companions,
the Rev Henry Carter, John Galley, DR..
c. w. Saleery and Thomas Rea, sailed
on the Lapland for Liverpool.
1--WE find through inquiries made
through business and professional men
that there is an enormous amount OF
data TO prove that the saloon is n great
de:riment TO the country. economically.
morally and in every other way" Mr..
Allison said
However. think there is a growing
sentiment against war time prohibition
on July /. believe It Is safe to say
that the bulk Of opinion is for nationwide
prohibition In January, but there is a
difference between nationwide prohibit
ton and the war measure.
Mr. Allison added that a. the conven-
ton In Washington nineteen nations
were represented, and plans were made
to bring about prohibition legislation in
all these countries In the near future.
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, one OK England's
great surgeons. and Lady Lane also
sailed on the Lapland. In his opinion,
the United States is now much more In
terested in the war than England Here
discussion OF events of the war is still
enthusiastic while in England the peo-
pie are EAe Naary and war talk bores
them.

is also a fact that when Phe-

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Wouldn't this Grasp" Ye.

Honest, if you was a repub-
lican and learned it was the real
unvarnished truth, wouldn't it?
Well, it actually happened, No
wonder the Campbell Heard en-
thusiasts look sideways like a
jabbering Chinaman? Read it:
Ardmore, Okla, Oct. 6.
United States Senator J. A.
Reed, was egged from the stage
at Convention hall here tonight,
as he was being introduced for
speech against the treaty and the
league of nations. The crowd of
5000 went wild as Reed came on
the stage and all light wires be-
ing cut, pandemonium broke out.
Relighted the crowd surged upon
the stage, forcing Reed to make
a hasty rear exit without even
attempting his speech. After he
left a number of women climbed
the stage and quieted the crowd
by exhibiting a picture of Presi-
dent Wilson. At his hotel Reed
could not be seen and it was an
announced that he would make no
further attempt to deliver his ad-
dress.
Last week we published an IL
lustration captioned ''The West
Is In the Saddle. - Well, about
the only one who mounted the
saddle on a speech tour against
the president was Hi Johnson and
read what happened him:
Los Angeles trades unions,

hands of President Wilson in his
