HALF PER CENT. BILL
OFFERED BY DRYS
Measure Ignores Wilson's Re-
quest for Repeal Of War
Time Law.

WAsHINGroN, May 27.--A compreheu-
sive prohibition enforcement bill which
defines intoxicating liquor to be any
liquid at all which contains more than
onc-half per cent. alcohol was introduced
in the House to-day by Chairman Vol
stad (Minn.) of the Judiciary Commit
tee. Every effort will be made to put Il
through Congress in a few weeicR, OIL.
hearings probably will be held for both
vets and drys
The bill disregards President Wilson's
recommendations for the repeal OF war
time prohibition law 80 far as light
wines and beer are concerned and would
give the Government powerful machinery
to enforce it's drastic provisions and a
50, 000, 900 fund to see that enforcement
does not become joke.
Not long after Mr.. volstead dropped
his bill in the legislative hopper Repre-
sentative Steele (Pa) and Gard (Ohio)
both Democrats and members OF the
committee came along with bills to re-
peal the war time prohibition law 10
far az light wines and beer are con-
eerned Even the most optimistic vets
are not hopeful that the House will in
dorse these bills or that they can stave
Off for any length of time the passage
of some such measure as Mr.. VoIstead
proposes.
The dryp hope 10 put an enforcement
bill through before July 1. Mr. Vol
stead's bill would go into operation Zen
days after passage and there might be
wet hiatus between July 1 and en-
forcement day.
The Volstead measure bans the sale
OF all intoxicants, "intoxica ting IIouor@'
being defined as including any distilled
malt, spurious. vinous, fefmented or
alcoholic liquor containing more than
nt,a
'ot the provision In broadened 90 that
IL will apply to all liquids no matter
nader what name they may he sold
For the enforcement OF the proposed
law the bill creates a prohibition COM
missioner ito he selected by the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury who is authorized
to appoint assistants aud an authorize
ton OF $4,000. 900 to he used in enforc-
ing the law is provided.
The measure defines as q public nuts
ance any building not a private dwelling
where liquor drinking In permitted and
public drinking in ali forms Is forbidden
either on trains or other common car
riers or in automobiles, carriages or
any other place where the persons in
dulging in IL may be seen by the ordt-
nary bystander. Provision Ia made
whereby druggists may be allowed to
sell intoxicants for purely medicinal
purposes upon the prescription OF a ply
stefan, but once used the prescription
cannot be used again and must be re-
newed.

0TEARY BOND SUIT STARTS.
Seeks TO RecOvs
Judgment on $4,000.

Judgment on $4,000.
Trial of the suit OF the Government to
recover a judgment on the bond OF
81 500 given for jeremiah A. O'Leary
after his indictment charged with vio-
lating the espionage law in the magazine
RHu was begun yesterday before Judge
Jeremiah Neterer and a Jury In the
Federal District Court. The bond was
signed by OLeary and his wife and the
surety was their home at ~ Jumel Ter
race. The property was valued at ST.
oo0 and carried a mortgage at $500.
John J. O'I>eary, a brother. testified
that Jeremiah went to the State Of
Washington on the eve Of his trial be-
cause he was i'll and not with an inten-
ton to evade Justice. It was this con-
tention that raised an issue Of fact that
made trial before a jury necessary.
Thomas b. Fielder. counsel for OLeary.
said the authorities were uniform IN
holding that where a defendant had
been tried. whether the trial followed re-
capture or voluntary return, there could
be no forfeiture OF the bond under which
he had been free pending trial.
John O'Leary will be cross-examined
to-day by Earl b Barnes Assistant
United States Attorney.

Federal Reserve Board TO SHOW that
this figure was correct. and also the
warning OF the board that as things
we're going now any further increases in
expenses viii have to come from the
proceeds OF new financing involving the
sale of additional notes OF bonds, az
circumstances may require
Shows Quick Absorption.
Mr.. Tess then continued as follows:
Tn making the estimates here I note
that on the first of May s2226, 900. 900
In the available fund. The running ex-
peuses month are Si,too. 600, 600 Two
months under current expenses will
absorb the total amount of that which
remains OF the Firth Liberty Loan.
The Secretary of the Treasury says
there VIII be no other loan. How are
we going to get this money?
IT hope that our people will not be-
come so mushy that they will want to
cancel our foreign loans We hear that
from various quarters Secondly, hope
and beleve that the Government with
be careful In tire salvage not to waste
property IN the posscssion Of the Gov
eminent that otherwise would be a total
loss. 1 recognise these two sources of
income, but they are not going to be
very large IN comparison TO what we
need"
Representatives. Longworth (Ohio)
and Moore interrupted Mr.. Fess TO tell
him that money Ia being lent to the
Allies at the rate OF about $500 900, 900
month and that in all about $40, 000.-
600, 900 had been lent already. while the
Ways and Means Committee has refused
to increase the lending power of the
Secretary OF the Treasury except for
war purposes
at the close OF the civil war our per
capita circulation was SIS. At the OPEN
ing of this war our per capita circula-
don was s34. To-day II is $50. The
virtue OF the Federal Reserve system Ia
to prevent crises don't think ,here Is
any possibility OF reducing substantially
the cost of living until this inflated cur
rency and inflated credit can be de-
hated."

IF you supervised the man.
L ufacture of tires for your car,
what would you demand? You
would demand that the tires with
stand every possible strain of SER
vice, that they cut down gasoline
consumption, that they remain firm
under the fastest driving, that they
last longer and give more mileage
than any other tire on the market.
When we began the manufacture
of Perfection Tires we adopted the
viewpoint of theuser. Our phenom-
email success is due to the appre-
citation of automobiles through

stayed a couple of days and then
crossed the English channel to Cher
4 bourg, France. This channel was very
rough and the most of us were feeding
the fish that night but none Of us were
too sick to carry our roll and walk to
camp about four miles from the sta
tion the next morning. We stayed over
night at this place and left the next
day for Lacourtine in the southern part
Of France We made this trip in. two
days and two nights and rode in what
we boys call side door pullmans We
call them box cars in the States, only
these are about one-half as long as an
ordinary box car. They put 3S men
in a car and as. there is not room for
all to lie down, we had to sit up and
sleep. It was very little sleep got in
those two nights. We stayed at La
courtine 2 days and they took the side
door pullman again for about miles
from the front line at this time. 1t
took 2 days and night to make the trip.
On July oath we got off the train at
Noguet with the intention of joining
our artillery, but found this brigade Of
artillery was away to school so we were
attached to the 100 infantry until our
artillery arrived. We were all quite
surprised when told by military po-
lice that they we're fighting at this place
just days before we arrived and could
hardly believe it until we saw few
buildings that were shelled at this
town. Then we began to realize that
we were not far from the front The
Tooth Infantry had just been relieved
from the front and were back in some
timber about 3 miles from Nougent for
a couple of days rest. We Joined them
on July 25th. On the morning of the
26th we got word that the enemy was
retreating and also got orders to move
toward the front, so right after break
fast we started out and hiked all that
day and camped in some timber close
to Chateau Thierry< that night. The
next morning we, were awakened at 5
A. M. with orders to be ready to move
in five minutes. It rained most of the
forenoon and we started out in the rain
without any breakfast and liked until
q O'clock and about 4 O'clock we had
our first meal and only meal for that
day. Right after this meal the Cap
tain told us they were going to start
big drive that night and when he had
finished talking they furnished each of
us with $50 rounds of munition and we
started on another hike It commenced
to rain just as we started and rained
