FUEL FOR SHIPS

Secretary of the Navy Daniels
will commander fuel oil and gaso-
line required for the Pacific fleet
because of unsatisfactory bids both
as to quantity and quality. he an
nounced late yesterday.
Navy orders for the oil required
by vessels assigned for service in
the Pacific have been placed with
West coast suppliers. Daniels said
he had tried to get the oil under
contract. Though oil at Port Ar
thur. Texas, was quoted at S3 cents
barrel. and in New York s1.i9,
San Francisco oil men bid S1.63
barrel notwithstanding their trans
portation charges were much less
than those of the New York and
Port Arthur dealers.
Daniels said it was necessary to
commander the oil or to change
plans for the formation of the Pa

Wartime prohibition cannot be cf-

the House Judiciary Committee de-

That such a statute cannot be ef-

and committees where it has been
tried" the report stated.
Both the Attorney General and the
Secretary of the Treasury, who are
charged with this enforcement. believe
some legislation is imperative"
The report also revealed that the
majority OF the committee believed
there is a fair chance war prohibi-
ton may last until constitutional pro-
hibition takes effect in January of

CLERKS

No Decrease in Payrolls
Anticipated, Bureau
Heads Declare.

Lamentations over the report that
several thousand government clerks
would lose their positions today
were met last night by Paul F..
Myers, chief clerk OF the Treasury
Department, who declared that per-
haps as many as 1000 would be
added to the rolls of that depart
ment within the next two months.
In each of the cases clerks were
supposed to be dropped through
lack of appropriations, bureaus Of
ficials denied that any of their
clerks would be dismissed or even
laid off. In some cases it was ad-
mitted that transfers would be nee
essary. but little inconvenience to
the indiviual clerk is anticipated at
present.
Myers said the increase will be prin-
cipally in the Federal farm loan bu-
reau, the auditors department and the
office of the commissioner of internal
revenue. A slight increase is also ex-
pected in the bureau of War Risk In
surarce. Many clerks dropped from
other departments will be absorbed in
this increase
In a majority of bureaus, enough
war workers are resigning to take care
of the reductions.

After July 1 the human race--as
far as the United States is concern
eds required by law to quit do
ing something our ancestors did so
far back that one gets dizzy count
ing the centuries.
Drinking of Intoxicating liquor
originated way back in mythology
cal times. y
Noah was the first man history
records as having got drunk. That
was exactly 4.266 years ago-2.347
years before Christ.
But Noah may have been a very
modern drinker-if mythology Is
to be believed.
The Phoenicians got drunk a
couple of thousand years before
Christ. And both the Phoenicians
and Egyptians claimed the gods
founded their oldest cities. and
their race could boast an antiquity
of 10000 years!
Maybe drinking was the vogue
then. Prehistoric man a couple of
hundred thousand years ago prob
ably had something to drown his
sorrows in.

Clemenceau Attacked for

Paris, June 30.-Europe is athroo
with the gravest labor crisis in the
worlds history.
From the clyde to the Adriatic
the dominant note is the wall OF
the masses over the high cost OF
living which is much higher in
Europe than in America now. be-
cause of our deprecated currency
value. Groaning beneath inflated
after-the-war prices the workers Of
Europe are making staggering de-
mands for wage increases. At the
same time they are out to get a
shorter working day.
Masses Cry for Bread.
The inteIlectuaIs. the leaders Of
big business. are preoccupied with
world problems that have inevitably
come as the wars aftermath. But
the masses are interested only in
getting a better deal from capital
ard government.
The consequence is an enervating
atmosphere of nervousness and irri-
tation. Premier Clemenceau is be-
ing attacked daily. The Nationalist
press accuses him of weakness in
the councils of the Big Four and OF
exercising a more rigorous censor
ship than that of war times. The
labor and Socialist press on the
other har'I denounce him for not
dealing with the claims of the
workers during one Of the worst
strike epidemics France has ever
known.
