appreciate the ironic humor OF the way
beer prices have gone up since war
time prohibition has become effective.
In order TO make good In small part the
losses due TO the ban on whiskey and
wines, hotel, restaurant and saloon men
are boosting beer prices. Apparently
the 5-cent glass Of beer In saloons and
the i0-cent glass at hotel bars must
disappear. Most Of the better class
bars charge IS cents a glass, and at
least one. the Waldorf, 20 cents. A
popular cabaret, which used to get S25

bottle for beer, and 70 cents for any
kind OF soft drink.

SHERMAN HITS
LEAGUE AS "BOX
FULL OF EVE :"
Would Empty On y. S.
Worlds Calamities
He Declares.

Washington, March 3.-The con-
stitution of the league of nations
as presented at the peace confer
ence was pictured to the senate to-
day by Senator Sherman of Illi-
nois. Republican. as "a Pandora S
box full of evils" which would
empty on the American people the
aggregate calamities of the world. -
Senator Sherman sharply criti-
cized President Wilson, asking who
authorized him "to rear above the
republic an autocratic power" He
added that the authority was not
to be found in constitution of the
United States was implied from un-
defined war powers and gave it as
his opinion that the president had
been acting either as "a usurper
or a dictator"
Shall we not ask with the dram
atist," the senator said, how in
the name of all the gods at once
upon what does this Caesar feed
that he has grown so great?'" " "He
adroitly maneuvers himself into the
spotlight as the fountain of the
peace conference and the guardian
of mankind" Senator Sherman
continued, ''as he kept us out of
war in 1916, so he will keep us out
of impending war conjured up to
serve the issues of 1920 and keep
US at peace forever if we but accept
him again. With him as the drum

After Senator Sherman had de-

Cumber of North Dakota, a Repub-
lican member OF the foreign rela-

urged that the United States be

serving world peace. Senator Nc
Cumber urged amendment to the
league of nations charter so that
there could be no possibility of a
surrender of American sovereignty
or the Monroe doctrine. The sena-
tor deplored some recent criticisms
by Republican senators, declaring
many of the arguments were far

DANIELS ASKS
QUIZ OF LAKES
GRAFT REPORT
Probe Of Runaored
Scandal at Naval
Station Ordered.

Washington. March 3.-Secre-
tarv Daniels instructed the com
mandant of the Great Lakes naval
training station today to investigate
reports that number of men
there had been involved in irreg-
ularities. similar to those recently
disclosed in the New York district.
There were no official reports TO
the department on the situation
and the secretary acted after
reading press dispatches. He said
no previous reports had indicated
that conditions there might be sim
liar to those in New York where A
number of prosecutions of reserve
officers and men charged with hav-
ing been involved in the sale of as
signments in the service are in
progress.
Chicago, March Six men were
in custody today at the Great
Lakes naval training station for
alleged graft" in connection with
discharges of seamen, which was
brought to light by the death OF
Samuel b. Moss. known also as
"Sammie Mossovitz," a discharged
seaman. who leaped from the eighth
floor OF an Office building last Sat
urday after having been brought
here from Detroit where he was ar
rested The naval intelligence
agents are looking for a seventh
man. according to Lieutenant Com
mander Chester S. Roberts, who
characterized the case as "a purely
local affair of minor Importance"
He added that no officers were con-
cerned in the case.
The names of the six men arrest
ed at the Great Lakes naval train
ing school were made public today

1.-THE primary duty of caring
for our people in the intimate
matters that we want to dis
cuss here, of course, falls upon
the states and upon the mu-
inequalities and the function of
the federal government is to do
what it is trying to in con-
ference of this sort-draw the
executive minds of the country
together so that they may profit
by each others suggestions and
plans. and so that we may offer
our services to coordinate their
efforts in any way that they
may deem it wise to coordinate.
In other words, it is the privi-
lege OF the federal government
in matters of this sort to be the
servants of the executives of
the states and municipalities
and counties and we shall per-
form that duty with the great
est pleasure if you will guide
US with your suggestions.

Menace OF HUN
TO Be REMOVED
English Paper Says Terms to Foe
VIII Disarm Germans Effec.
lively on FraLee Side,

Lor ion. March Accommodating
upon the terms which Marshal Foch
will present to the Germans. the
Times says:
They will be severe and such
as will effectively disarm the Cen
trail powers on the side nearesi
France. France has a just righ.
TO extra military guarantees or
her frontier toward Germany. and
these guarantees may well have
TO take the form of special terri
torial readjustments. In any case,
France may count on our sympa-
thy and assistance in obtaining all
these necessary guarantees.
But the chief weakness in the
future will be in eastern Europe,
and that is why a barrier of new
states to be erected between the
Baltic and Adriatic will need
Strengthening by every means in
our power Although France has
particular interest in the west
front. the detection of Bolsheviki
Russia makes it desirable that she
should find some substitute on the
east for her old alliance. and it
must be a great joy to ner people
that this substitute should take the
form of a barrier line of free peo-
pies.
Our own position mas MANY
points of resemblance u that of
France. The main avenues of the
league of nations contemplated
with the free peoples between the
Baltic and the Adriatic. will be
over the sea and therefore. we
are anxious about free passage
into the Baltic
But that is not all. AS in east
ern Europe, we hope to see a bar
rier of free states erected so that
England, which has India to think
of. may be protected in tle middle
east.
France has a right tc the best
frontiers possible on tne side of
Germany. and we have a similar
right in the middle east. for it is
not our way to keep huge armies
garTisoning frontiers. Our way is
to diminish our military liabilities
by a system of buffer states.
Such considerations as these
are not inconsistent with the prin-
ciples of the league of nations On
the contrary. the nearer an ideal
carries its head to the clouds, the
more firmly must its feet be plant
ed on solid ground"
The Times concludes by speak
ing of the value of American sup
port. saying:

can find it in her way to give"

across the water, was this: we
are at last learning that the
business OF government is to
take counsel for the average
man. We are at last learning
that the whole matter of the
prosperity of peoples runs
down into the great body of the
men and women who do the
work of the world, and that the
process of guidance is not COM
pleted by the mere success of
great enterprises-it is com
pleted only by the standard OF
the benefit that it confers upon
those who in the obscure ranks
of life contribute to the success
of those enterprises.

time in history an international
sympathy which is quick and
vital--a sympathy which does
not display itself merely in the
contact OF governments, but
displays itself in the inter
course of sympathy between
great bodies that constitute
great nations, and the signifi-
cance of a conference like this
is that we are expressing in II,
| believe. our consciousness that
we are servants of this great 81
lent mass of people who consti-
tute the United States, and that
as their servants, IL is our bus
mess; as il is our privilege, to
find out how we can best assist
in making their lives what they
wish them to be, giving them
the opportunities that they
ought to have, assisting by pub
lie counsel in the private affairs
upon which the happiness of
men depends.
Represent 700,00O,000.
And so l am the more dis
tressed that I cannot take part
in these councils because my
present business is to under
stand what plain men every
where want. 1t is perfectly un-
derstood in Paris, that we are

100000 people, and that unless
we show that we understand
the business of the servants,
we will not satisfy and we will
not accomplish the peace of
the world. and that if we show
that we want to serve any in
terest but theirs. we will have
to become candidates for the
most lasting discredit that will
ever attach to men in history.
And so it is with this gro
found feeling of the signifi-
canoe of the things you are un-
dertaking that I bid you well
come. because believe you
have come together in the spir-
it which ! have tried to indi-
cate. and that we will together
concert methods of cooperation
and individual notion which
