In Harvard Fund Drive

New York>passed Boston in the Har-
ward fund drive in returns made last
night. The grand total now is $2,613,-
276. There was gain of $lS500O in
New York's total, as against 100000
tor Boston, placing New York ahead
again by $4,000. New York's total is
now $1,155,000 and Boston's 81 1088,276.
Delay in the canvassing in other
parts Of the country has arisen be-
cause of changes in addresses incident
to the war. More than 10000 Of the
$4,000 living Harvard graduates were
in the service. 1t is believed the drive
will require longer period than two
weeks because of this condition.

dice with an unfounded appeal.

Senators who in private converse
tion would never dream Of attempting
to deceive one another said Senator
McCumber, "seem unable to resist the
temptation to take advantage of pre-
judice created by this deception, and
with studied avoidance of the real and
full truth, give this prejudice another
boost"
AS substitute for the johnson
amendment, Senator McCumber urged
his proposed reservation to exclude
the league in disputes involving the
mother country or each other
almost every argument made on
the floor of the Senate" said Senator
McCumber, "and every one without en-
ception made to the public by Senators
opposed to any league of nations, has
given the impression to the people of
the world that the council or the as
sembly, as the case might be, is sort
of court or tribunal that decides the
disputes between nations, and it is
because of these misstatements of the
facts and the misapprehension of many
of our people arising therefrom, that
the ground is made fertile for tho de-
velopment Of about all the animosities
toward this league and especially
t"WdTu CHe cldlIucu VotluB power OF
Great Britain.
81 wish the public could just once
fully understand, first, that not one
case of dispute out of hundred would
ever 60 to the council or assembly;
second, that even if all other efforts
provided for the settlement of disputes
should fail, the only thing submitte d
to the council or assembly is the right
to investigate and report the facts to
the. public"
Senator McCumber said the argu-
ment of Senator Johnson and other
supporters of the johnson amendment
as to Britain's voting power was "too
absurd to be true" and asked why
France, Italy and other nations did
not raise objections to putting their
heads in the lions mouth"
The North Dakota Senator said the
"real facts" regarding the league were {:
"That neither the council nor as
sembly is board of arbitration
THAT neither decides international
disputes at all.
THAT the only jurisdiction which
the council or assembly have over a
dispute between nations Is the right
to Investigate and report what the
true facts are and make recommended
tions.
"That a dispute with a part Of a
nation or empire is q dispute with the
whole.

HOW TOENFORCE
BONE DRY LAW
Officials of Department of
Justice Make Prepa-
rati0nS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Mcans of
enforcing prohibition after july is
arc under consideration by officials OF
the department of justice and the in
ternal revenue bureau. A special en-
foTcement agency will not be taken
until congress has had time to act on
pending legislation giving this func-
ton to the revenue bureau.
This bureau now has about 500
agents who could be assigned to liquor
violation detection, including the 30
now engaged partially in runnin
down the liquor distillers. Official
believe, however. that this fore
would have to be enlarged by severa
times TO cffectually enforce nation
wide prohibition. The department q
justice, also stands ready to assign
many other species of agents to pro
hibition enforcement, if this is deemed
necessary.
Even with an augmented govern
mcnt force devoting its entire efforts
to preventing manufacturing and sale
of liquor, however, officials declare
the bulk of enforcement work would
fail on state and local police authori-
ties. Federal agents would not at
tempt to cover the country thorough
ly, but would operate only in those
districts where the local officers SEEM
ed unable or unwilling to enforce the
law properly.
Revenue agents say there already
are indications of preparations for
approach of the dry era among those
who proposed to manufacture liquor
illegally after July 1. Not only IN
the southern mountains, the principal
operating regions of m~oonshiners, but
the large cities of the east and middle
west. small stills have been found re-
Gently. Owners of some of these are
said to have admitted their intention
of putting them in operation after
prohibition becomes effective.

Permanent Second Liberty

Y Bankers are making preparation for
the exchange of permanent and Az
Ter cent bonds of the second liberty loan
for the temporary issues given out at
the time OF the fiotation by the Treasury
Department
1t will be recalled that these issues
had but four coupons for interest at
tached to the bond, the rush incident to
the getting out of the various issues as
they came along preventing the compile
ton of the coupon complement, SO that
NEW bonds will have to be obtained i'll
leu of the issues without coupons.
Only the first 3hs and the victory lib
erty notes have all the coupons attached
and were therefore permanent bonds.
The new bonds will be ready for the
exchange soon after the 18th of No

One of the leading national banks has
adopted a very complete and readily
available form of receipt to give to
bondholders in exchange for the tenn

iitor-thereby providing, by the use
of carbon paper, an Identification for
