prohibition in the United States,
there is still iisht being made to pre-
vent such ratification and the opinion
is expressed by some that if dry laws
can be seen in operation for year
or two more it will suffice to prevent
the United States from going entirely
dry. There is an effort being made TO
prevent action in legislatures this win
ter until the country has had an ex.
ample of being absolutely dry, which
will be the case under the law recent
ly passed and signed by President VIII
son, which goes into effect July !,
1919.
There has been quite an object les
son for people in the national capital,
which is dry by legislation, but which
Is rather wet by reason Of the various
methods that have been adopted to OBJ
tain liquors. Since the District Of Co
lumbia was made dry by legislation
we have become familiar with the
terms "bootlegger," blind pig" speak
easy" and similar expressions which
have always been used for the pur-
pose or designating Illegal traffic In
Intoxicating liquors. Perhaps there
will be an opportunity to shut out
what is known as the Bookkeeping
process of bringing in liquor, and also
the large shipments by express which
are now permitted, so long az those
who receive the liquor make affidavit
that It Is for their personal use"
Senator Sheppard Of Texas. who Is the
author of most of the dry legislation,
proposes to apply the Reed bone-dry
law to the District, which would serve
as good test as to whether the ma
tional capital can be made actually
dry.

Vigorous language Is sometimes
used in the senate. Senator King of
Utah, for instance, in speaking about
Hog Island, remarked that there was
"a great deal Of vulgar robbery, steal
ing, thtevery. by men engaged in the
Hog Island enterprise" Whereupon
Senator Vardaman Of Mississippi said
that "the language employed by Sen
ator King, when we consider the prov
ocation. is very moderate in character
izatlon Of the subject He went on to
speak more on the same subject, and
said that the enterprise 'is the most
shameful scheme to rob the public
treasury that has been entered into
since 1914" Naturally remarks like
this have brought back rejoInders
from those who are criticized, and Il
naval officer connected with the Hog
Island project has not hesltated to
give the lie direct In denying these
assertions.

Two severe attacks on the admins
week. First Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, assailed the "dilatory" policy
followed in rehabilitation, asserting
that the administration Is as unpre-
pared for disbandlng the army as 1t
was for the war itself. He warned his
party that II would be held responsible
politically by the returning soldiers
II 1t failed to adopt an adequate pro-
gram for taking care of them. The
other attack was made by a Republic
an, Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts,
who bitterly criticized the war depart
ment for delays and errors In compil-
Ing casualties among the expeditionary
forces and for failure to cooperate
with the Red Cross In the matter of
forwarding letters from wounded SOL
dlers to their relatives In this country.
In many instances, Mr.. Weeks said,
parents were incorrectly Informed that
their sons had been killed. Also sew

Returning from England to Paris
early in the week, President Wilson
left for Italy Wednesday evening.
When he arrived in Rome he was well
coined by the king and queen and a
host Of other notables, and the Roman
population gave him so enthusiastic a
reception that 1t was evident they had
made up their minds to Guido the Lon
doners and ParlsianS. The streets and
buildings were layishly decorated and

conflicting claims Of Italy and the Jugo-
Slavs for possession Of the lands along
the east coast of the Adriatic.

For several months the house
of representatives struggled with
water power and water conserya-
ton bills. Bitter controversies arose
over the subject. Finally 1t was found
necessary to appoint a special com
mittee composed of leading members
of the committees on interstate ana
foreign commerce, agriculture ana
public lands, In order that they might
agree upon II bill. Then bill was
sent In by the administration and
after n long and tedious debate 1t was
passed. Another emergency water
power bin was brought up and again
after the consumption of much time
1t was passed.
What has become of those bills?
They went TO sleep safely and calm
ly In choice pigeonholes somewhere
i'm the senate wing of the capitol.
Month after month the senate dawdled
along, holding sessions Of few hours,
and adjOurnlng two or three days nj
n time, but there never seemed to be
any pressure to bring out these water
power conservation bills. As mat
ter of fact there was enough dynamite
I'm those bills to have caused discus
sion In the senate lasting n year or
two. The house seems 10 have felt
that II performed Its duty when II
sent the bills to the senate. and as
the measures were passed the mem.
bers thought that 1t was good rid
dance. These conservation bills which
have been before congress for so many
years might well be under the heading
of wasted efforts in congress"
Scores OF bills have been introduced
In both houses Of congress providing
that the uniforms which the enlisted
men of the army have In their pos
session ut the time they are mustered
out Of the service may be retained by
the men. Under present laws and
regulations the uniforms OF enlisted
men must be returned to the nearest
quartermaster within 30 days after
the soldier has been mustered out.
Apparently everybody Is in favor of
the proposition to allow these soldiers
to retain their uniforms and the only
thing that is lacking Is the legislation.
The senate for several days had
been discussing the buildings on what
is known us the Union Station plazn,
a stretch of ground between the cap
ltol and Union station which has
been covered up with lot of hideOus-
looking buildings which were TO be
used for housing war workers II the
war had continued. one day when
the discussion had been going on for
some time Vice President Marshall
stopped one of the debaters In the
corridor of the senate and remarked :
81 am getting little tired listening

ings down on the plaza. What you
ought 10 do with those buildings Is 10

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

SO far as fighting is concerned, the
absorbing news is coming from Poland
just now The Poles, having enthusi-
astlcally welcomed the head of their
new republic, Ignace Jan Paderewski,
the famous musician, are following his
lead against the Germans on the one
side and the Russian bolsheviki on the
other. They are determined to add to
their state the province Of POsen, Dan
zig and other parts Of Prussia, and the
government at Berlin is equally deter
mined that they shall not lay hands on
series of conflicts, with varying re-
suits. As this is written report comes
that Polish army OF 10000 men Is
marching on Berlin and that Gustav
Noske. member of the Ebert cabinet
in charge of military affairs, has or
dered the Fifth German division to adj
vance to meet the Poles.
The Poles entered Frankfort on the
Oder, 80 miles east of Berlin, and also
Beuthen In Prussian SiIesia, and
Bromberg, In the province of Posen. In
the city Of Posen the Poles occupied
the fortress, dsarmng 10000 German
soldiers, and the fighting there has
been almost continuous. Many Jews
are said TO have been slain.
@-
The German authorities admit the
Polish nnnCtinu lie garinnu nd
will be difficult to prevent the estab.
lishment OF a free Poland. The Poles
are masters OF most of the towns and
have cut all means of communication.
1t Is on their eastern borders that the
Poles are having the worst time There
they are cOntending not only against
the bolshevik armies in their sweep
through Lithuania, but also against
the UkralnianS, who are disputing with
the Poles the possession OF the south
ern part Of Lithuania. General Pill
sudtky commands a rather small army
of loyal Poles, and General Halter,
who commanded the Poles In France,
has landed at DanZlg with Il body of
troops; but they are a long way apart,
with hostile armies between them.
There Is considerable demand that the
allies extend quick and strong aid to
the Poles, since the establishment OF
Poland as buffer state not only would
keep Germany from grabbing the Bal.
tic provinces and eventually control
ling Russia, but also would deprive the
Germans of most Of the coal deposits
on which they rely. The bolshevist
menace and the industrial disorder in
Poland make II impossible for the
Poles 10 await the settlement OF their
problem by the peace congress, say
their leaders. Most of their factories
were destroyed by the Germans and
the thousands Of Poles now sent back
by Germany are clamoring for food
and employment and In some places
are taking the law into their own
hands and plunderng their former EN-
ployers.

the argument that II the league Of ma
lions Is formed the United States will
be Sinking its share of the policing of

Is not established and q curtnilment
of armament is not agreed upon, We
must have "incomparably the greatest
navy In the world" to defend the Mon
roe doctrine and protect the weak ma
lions. His program, according to his
own admission, IS intended as an argu-
ment by which President Wilson can
bring the other nations to accept the
proposed reduction of armament. The
secretary says the president backs up
his policy if competitive building is to
continue. Mr.. Daniels new three-year
building program calls for the appro-
priation of $600,O00,O00 to provide for
1856 additional naval ships, including
ten dreadnaughts and six battle cruis-
ers.
