Upstate Vets to Fight
Every Case after July 1
Hope to Get at Least One
Drinker on Each 2.75 Per
Gent Beer Jury to "Stand
OUT Against Verdict

The plan of campaign of vets up the
state, especially the brewers and the
saloonkeepers directly within the
financial control, is to go ahead max
ing and selling 2.75 beer, and fight
out each charge of illegal selling of
beer before judge and jury. A Syra-
cuse lawyer, after consultation yester-
day with counsel connected with local
brewing companies. made the follow
ing statement:
Public sentiment in the large cities
OF the state is with the brewers and
saloonkeepers, The saloon men will
go on with their selling after July 1
until they are stopped. There is moth
ing in the wartime prohibition act
which defines what is meant by intoxi-
eating liquor. The brewers, as has
been indicated, will contend that 2,75
beer is not Intoxicating.
"lf they are arrested on the COM
plant of some one who, after getting
drunk, gets into trouble, they will fight
1t out before a judge and jury. Thev
Will contend that they have bought the
requisite revenue stamps for the beer,
that it is not Intoxicating, and then
they will trust to luck and good man
agement in getting the case before a
jury with at least one beer drinker in
it, knowing that if there is one man
that Stands out the jury cannot bring
in a verdict"

Rockefeller Force
Frees Guatemala
OF Yellow Fever
Preventive Work i'm Ecuador
Also Done by Foundation
Doctors; War on Malaria
in Arkansas Successful

The active warfare the Rockefeller
Foundation continues to wage against
the twin scourges of yellow fever and
malaria forms the subject of the Sec
ond instalment of the report of the or
ganization's work in 1918, issued yes
terday.
The fight against yellow fever IL
being directed by Surgeon General
William C. Gorgas, retired, who as
sumed charge of this branch of the
foundations work in November, 1913.
Since then the foundation has succeed
ed in stamping out widespread yellow
fever epidemic in Guatemala and has
carried on experimental and preventive
work in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
1t is the object of General Gorgas to
attack the disease at its source and
wipe out the threat it always carries
of springing suddenly into violent epi-
demic.
Physicians and other workers of the
foundation were sent to Guatemala on
July II, 1918, under the. direction of
Dr.. Joseph H. White, of the Public
Health Service. BY December not a
case of yellow fever remained in Guate-
mala.
"The success Of the campaign" says
the report, was largely due to the
substantial aid of the government of
Guatemala and the magnificent work Of
the local governors"
Experiments in the control of ma
laria have been carried on by the
foundation in four towns of Arkansas.
BY draining and filling ponds, by ditch
ing sluggish streams and by oiling sur
face waters the malarial scourge has
been greatly reduced. In Hamburg,
Ark, where the work has been going
on since 1917, the number of malaria
cases has been reduced from 1912 in
1916 to So in 1918.
A number of counties in the South
are cooperating with the foundation in
a war on malaria.

In his opinion Mr.. Kirst said:

after the armistice was signed and
after active fighting had been con-
Guided. Among other things, it prohib-

beverage purposes after June 80, 1919
until the conclusion of the present war
and thereafter until the termination OF
rehabilitation, the date Of which shall be

poses of the prohibition are to con
serve the man-power of the nation and
to increase the efficiency in the produc-
ton OF arms, munitions and such other
articles of manufacture as were needed
Tor the army and navy.
The destruction of dangerous war
material, the rapid rehabilitation of
troops and the removal of embargoes
on commerce were other indisputable
evidences of the fact that the war dan

"The Constitution is not suspended

must be real emergencies. If this were
not so, Congress, under the pretext of

That Ruined Eurone

ST. LOUIS, June 24-The secular
system of education in the United
States was denounced as "patterning
after the German idea" and as mate
rialistic" by speakers at the Catholic
Educational Association, in annual con
vention here to-day.
The Right Rev. Thomas j. Shahan,
president of the Catholic University at
Washington and president of the as
sociation, declared present day educa-
tion resulted from modern material
istic philosophy and that such philo-
sophical systems had brought Europe
into ruin and misery from which it
would not recover for centuries"
A paper written by Cardinal William
O'Connell declared: "In the matter of
education, particularly, we are pat
terning after the German idea, a pro-
gramme which is being marked out by
American educators who have received
their training in German universities. i"

William H. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, thus
described yesterday the attitude of the
drys toward reports that the vets are
preparing to bring some eleventh hour
action to prevent the enforcement of
war time prohibition on July l. Mr.
Anderson said that while the prohibi-
tionists arc confident that the vets
he called them "liquor anarchists
will fail in any delay effort, the possi-
bility still exists of intervention by
President Wilson.
"President Wilson may come out any
m moment with a proclamation stating
that rehabilitation has been estab-
lshed and that therefore there no
longer exists any necessity for war
time prohibition" said Mr.. Anderson.
"This, in our opinion, is the only action

Anderson said:
"That's up to the Department of
Justice. The department duty is to
prosecute violation of the Federal
laws"
"Has the Anti-Saloon League a staff
of inspectors ready to report any viola

Certainly not" he replied. "That is
not our function. An act to enforce
the July law is now being prepared in
Congress. l have no doubt that it will
be in effect in time. The Federal au-

the war time measures, and l am sure
they will not fail in this instance"
