AMEND ENFORCEMENT BILL
Effort viii Be Made to Prevent Keep
ina LIQUOR in Home

Washington, July IA mans
right to keep liquor in his own home,
which stood the test before the house
judiciary committee, must take its
chances now in the house.
Notice was served on the commit
tee by one of it's members that when
the house resumes consideration Of
the prohibition enforcement measure
an amendment will be offered to make
1t unlawful for a person to retain
possession of liquor stored prior to
July /.
The committee, in framing the gen
eral enforcement measure, eliminat-
ated the section which would have
made home storage illegal, but the
big majority polled by prohibitionists
was accepted in some quarters to
mean that the bill will be made more
drastic.

Record of American Railroads for Six

Record of American Railroads for Six
Months This Year.
Washington, July 1.-THE railroads
of the United States hauled 4,276,949
troops on special and regular trains
for an average of $50 miles each in the
first six months of 1919, according to
statistics made public by Director
General Hines. In addition, probably
100000 officers and men made rail-
way trips while on furlough and an
other million were transported from
camps to their homes after discharge,
making a total of 100000 military
passengers accommodated In addition
to the usual civilian travel.
The military traffic in six months re-
quired 100000 train miles, and, as
much Of the equipment had to be sent
empty In one direction, this figure
should be doubled to express the ag.
gregate transportation demand by the
military forces.

number of endurance flights over the

Regret Over Incident.

Paris, July 1.-THE French govern,
ment will demand reparation from
Germany as a result of the death of a
sergeant major of dragons at the
hands of persons unknown in Berlin,
according to La Liberte. The Incl.
dent occurred az the French embassy
where the officer was on guard. A
dispatch received from Berlin states
that DR.. Haniel Won Haimhausen has

Russian Blockade Chief Topic.
The Council of Five met yesterday,
its chief topic being the Russian
blockade. There have been proposals
that the powers shall allow ships to
enter Russian ports under special
permits, the United States having con.
stantly insisted that there has been
no blockade against Russia except
such as is incidental to the embargo
on imports to Germany. Consequent.
ly the American delegates were not
ready to take any action in the matter
until instructions have been received
from Washington.
1t has been suggested that most oi
the Black sea ports could be blockaded
by the Denekine government, which Ii
friendly to the Allies, but the Supreme
council has not decided to ask him tc
declare such a blockade.
