THREATEN SALOON MEN
Presence of Alcoholic Liquors On Their Premises is Evidence of Their Guilt, Officials Say.

Hartford, Dec. 13.-"We will as- sume that any saloon proprietor here who has in his place beverages con- taining more than one-half of one per cent. of alcohol whether medicat- ed or not, has the stuff for sale and his prosecution will follow" U. $. In- ternal Revenue Collector James J.. Walsh said today. Federal agents who visited practically all the saloons in Hartford Friday discovered, it is alleged, certain m edicated liquors that contained more alcohol than the law allowed. Samples were confiscated by revenue inspectors. These will be sent to government chemists for analysis. The collectors plan is to clean up immediately what litle ille- gal selling of intoxicating liquors re- mains.

CITY BRINGS WATER 96 MILES
Winnipeg Opens Great Aqueduct
From Lake of the Woods-BuIds
Railroad.

Winnipeg, Mana concrete conduit
eight feet In diameter, 96 miles long
and costing $15000,000, has just been
completed and the water has been
turned into the city mains. Only four
cities of the world have gone farther
for their water.
The aqueduct brings 85,0OO,00O gal.
Ions every "a hours from Shoal lake,
an arm of the Lake of the Woods, with
an area of 1900 square miles and 300
feet above the level of the city. The
conduit tunnels under the Red river,
Whitemouth river and several smaller
streams.
To build the aqueduct the city con-
Structed its own standard-gauge rail-
way, no miles long. Several towns
sprang up along the line, and farmers
began to settle in the country, before a
wilderness. The road will be main
tanned in regular operation.

FIND FEMALE "NOT DEADLIER''
New York Finger Prints Show De-
,crease-OnIy Degenerates
Increase.

New York.-The ,city's finger-prin1
records for 1918 tend to prove that
the female of the species here is not
.deadlier than the male. In announc-
ing a decrease in the number of prints
taken at the 16 magistrates courts,
Fred A. Hart, supervisor of this work,
said that this class of records of fe-
males had dropped 81 per cent and
that of the males 48 per cent, as COM
pared with 1917.
More than 100000 finger prints
were taken during the year. Only the
degeneracy class showed a large in
crease, 85 per cent.
The big decrease among females
recorded is attributed to better con-
ditions in the labor market and the
opportunity for greater reimburse
ment than in ordinary times" owing
to SO many men being in military and
naval service. The decrease among
Iaen recorded was declared to be due
to the Awork or fight" order, driving
idIers into government service or es-
sential occupations.

POLICE HOAxED BY SEA LIONS
Woman's Cries Call Out Rescue Party
on Wild Night Off Point
Firmin, Cal.

Los Angeles.-It was a wild night
off Point Firmin.
A gale was blowing and the edges
of the huge combers which were roll
ing into the rocky shore were being
torn to shreds by the wind and driven
in fine spray against the embattled
cliffs.
Suddenly, as the gale died down for
moment, the shrill voice of a wom-
an apparently battling for her life in
the seething surf, pierced the air.
Another woman in a cozy cottage
on the cliffs above heard it and sent
in hurry call to the harbor (San Pc
dro) police for rescuers. A dozen
men armed with ropes and life buoys
rushed to the scene in an automobile.
Directed to the spot they hurried
down the cluffs to the edge of the
foaming sea. Again a cry-then more
cries rang out.
What they saw was
A half dozen sea lions each having
the time of its life, barking and ca
vorting about on the rocks
"Tll be-" said one policeman,
while the others laughed
They bundled up their life-saving
apparatus and went back to the sta
ton. There they avoided reporters.

during the present year (1918) except
In New York, Pennsylvania. and Wash

being conducted by the department,
The monetary loss, however, will still
Be great owing to the increased value
Of this class OF farm animals over that
OF previous years.
"A recent article, In which condi-
tons In Iowa are discussed, indicates
that the number Of hogs lost in that
State from cholera In 1914 was ap-
proximately 100000, while the losses
for 1917 amounted to less than 100000.
Conditions In Iowa, however, have
been more favorable to the efforts Of
the cooperative forces engaged in hog
cholera control work in that State dur
ing the last two years than previously.
"The reduction of losses has been
less in certain other States due large
ly to circumstances which have handi-
capped our efforts In controlling the
disease. We can not hope to be so
successful In States where hogs have
access to open ranges a sin localities
where, herds are restricted to the
premises Of the owner and kept away
from sources Of contamination"

The losses for 1914 totaled $780,, 300

bathed for indefinite periods on ac-
count Of the scarcity of soap and that
the population is ridden with sores.
Every day more moving appeals
come from distressed Armenia, Syria,
Persia and the Russian Caucasus.
Tens Of thousands of people are as
gaunt and hungry as those gathered
around the dead horse In the accom-.
panying picture. Many have been
without food for days. An Associated
Press dispatch from Salonika Of re-
cent date December 18) reports that
Of the 100000 Armenians deported
by the Turks only 100000 survived
and that not more than one-fourth of
the present Armenian population can
survive until the next harvest without
outside help.
Distressing as seem these reports,
1t is encouraging to know that even
causes of advanced emaciatien, such
as are shown in this Illustration, readi.
ly respond to treatment. With food
and medical care millions can be made
strong and healthy. Thirty million
dollars, the sum to be sought in the
January II to 10 drive, will help save
100000 lives. Considered only as an
investment, 1t should be worth while. Z

the signing Of the armistice.
Each Of these hospitals contains 100
beds and complete equipment except
for kitchen utensils. The buildings In
which these hospitals will be housed
in the Near East have been erected.
With the hospital equipment the COM
mittee will purchase large quantities of
medical supplies which have been
stored in France to safeguard the
health of American soldiers. These
supplies will be rushed to the Near
East from French bort.
Careful surveys of the situation In
the Near East indicate that lack of
transportation facilities Is the chief
cause Of famine. There is food enough
to keep the inhabitants from starving,
but 1t cannot be distributed to supply
628,000 square miles Of country. There
are only so miles Of railroad. COnse-
quently there is plenty Of food in some
sections of the country where food is
grown, but great distress In those
which are not self-supporting. In the
cities especially there is great need.
On one occasion wheat became SO
scarce In a, community in Persia that
the price increased 1000 per cent.
