IMP MOVEMENT OF . SALOONS WANTED
 BY ENGLISHMEN

London Sept. IS. - Correspond ence of The Associated Prnss) Bet ter public houses. an improved tone for saloons, is the newly announced policy of the British liquor trade.
 Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, a member of Parliament, who was re- gently elected to the directorate of one of the leading brewing companies of the kingdom, said that representa- titCs of all sections of the trade had drawn up bU! erbo1ying such prin- ci7los as promotion of sobriety, re- s'r.ction of drunkenness. reduction of the number of licenses where they arc excessive and enlargement of premises so as tc provide greater op- portunitias for social amenities.
 "Recrtation. including reading rooms, facilities for writing, music and games, should be provided" Admiral Hall said. The entry into the trade of those who would set up and maintain high social standard should be encouraged to the exclusion of those who might bring discredit on the industry"

 4-Is there anything in the League of Nations covenant or the peace treaty which directly or indirectly in any manner imposes on the United States any obligations, moral or oth- erwise, of the slightest character to support England in any way n case Of revolt in Ireland7
 AnsweE:-There is not The only guarantee contained in the covenant is against external aggression and those who framed the covenant were scrupulousIy careful in no way 10 interfere with what they regarded as the sacred rights of self determina- tiOn
 5-What effect, if any, will the League of Nations covenant have in either hindering or furthering the cause of Irish freedom2
 Answer:-It was not possible for the peace conference to act with re gard to the self-determination of any territories except those which had belonged to the defeated empires. but in the covenant of the League of Ma tons it has set up for the first time. in Article Eleven, a forum before which all claims of elf-determina- ton which are likely to disturb the peace of the world or the good un- derstandinE between nations upon which the peace of the world de- bends. can be brought.

YANKEE SAILORS
 SWEEPING MINES
 FROM NORTH SEA
Peculiar Construction of Explosives Makes Job
 Dangerous.

London, Sept 18-CCorrespondenc of The Associated Press. )--Ths American Navy is having a tremend- ous task !n sweeping the North Sea or the 5G,O0O electrical and highly sensitive mines they planted there. Explosion by electricity is the meth ed now employed. Some were sunk very deep-as deep as a submarine could go.
 Each mine was fitted with antennae suspended by floats so that the huge field was not only charged with mines, but had also become a mass os sensitive feelers to explode them. Should a submarine come in contact with an antennae the mine at a short distance away at the end of the an tenrae would explode
 Tho problem has been to explode the mines far enough away from the sweeper to ensure safety and also to. forestall the danger of the explosion of q mine at safe distance causing another close to the ship going off"
 The vessels in sweeping use special electric cables several hundred yards long. Operation of a system of elec- tric appliances prevents the mines from exploding if the ship strikes an antennae but when the electric wire touches the antennae it blows the mines up a safe distance from the boat. Hundreds are being destroyed by this method.
 Aside from the danger and tedious ness of the task bad weather is add ed to the hardships of the American sailors
 About 75 vessels are employed, the majority of them American. Sub chasers help by rounding up drifting mines that have broken from their moorings and sinking or exploding the mine by firing a shot at it.

VIII SON DEC CTARES GREAT BRITAIN CANNOT OUTVOTE UNIFIED STATES
 ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON LEAGUE

San Francisco, Sept. 1S-RepIying in statement To a list of questions put to him by a San Francisco League of Nations organization. President Wilson declared Great Britain could not oUtvote the United States in the league; that foreign governments could not under the covenant order American troops abroad; that the league would have a powerful infiu- enCe toward restoration of Shantung 10 China; that the United States would not be obligated by Article Ten to aid Great Britain in expressing a re- volt in Ireland; and that under Article il. there would be created new forum for questions Of self determ- ination.
 MT. Wilson's statement containing the questions and answers follows:
 win you state the underlying consideration which dictated an awarding of six votes to the British Empire in the assembly, and is it true that Great Britain will Outvote us in the League of Nations and thereby control the leagues action?
 Answer: The consideration which led to assigning six votes to self-gov- cr-icg portions Of the British empire was that they have in effect, in all but foreign policies, become autono- nous Sclf-govcrni0S states, their pol icy in all but foreign affairs being in dependent of the control of the Brit isE government and in many respects GissimilaT from it But it is not true that the British empire can outyOte us in the League Sf Nations and therefore control the action of the league because in every matter in which the admission of new members

in the league, no action can be taken without the concurrence of unani- nous vote of the representatives of the states. which are members of the council, so that in all matters of aC- uon, the affirmative vote of the United States is necessary and equivalent to the united vote of the representatives of the several parts of the British empire. The united votes of the sew eraI parts of the British empire can not offset or overcome the vote of the United States
 2-Is it true that under the League of Nations foreign countries can or der the sending of American troops to foreign countries?
 Answer: It is not. The right of Congress to determine such matterS is in no wise impaired.
 3-What effect will the League of Nations have in either forwarding or hindering the final restoration of Shantung to China? What effect will the League of Nations have in preventing further spoliatiOn of China and the abrogation of all such special privileges now enjoyed in China by foreign countries?
 Answer: The League Of Nations will have a very powerful effect in forwarding the final restoration of Shantung to China, and no other in strumentality or action can be sub stituted which could bring that re- suit about. The authority of the League will under Article 10 be con stantly directed toward safeguarding the territorial integity and political independence of China. IL will, there fore, absolutely prevent the further sPoliatiOn of China, promote the re-

AMERICA'S TRADE WITH GERMANY
 STIRS ENGLAND

Cologne, Sept. 1S.-British business men have taken notice of the strides made by Americans in acquiring trade in Germany. At a meeting in Cologne recently of directors of the British Chamber of Commerce for Germany, c. Knott, of London, said:
 America has more than HOO Chambers of Commerce in all parts of the world, and these associate cham bers some time ago sent a dele gation to Europe which visited Cologne and Berlin and departed with German orders in fabulous amounts. The goods are to be de- lIvered at once on three years credit. In this way the United States Is se- curing the Hons share of Germanys import trade. Such is the result of the cooperation of their Chambers of Commerce. I see no reason why Brit ish Chambers Of Commerce cannot employ such methods"

NEVADA CHURCH WILL TRAVEL 50
 MILES BY AUTO

Taking a church on a 6O-miIe mo- tor ride is the plan of a Nevada bishop. And the nation wide cam paign of the Episcopal church has been asked to pay the fare.
 The church stands in GoIconda. once it was a Useful church, filled d every service. Now it is an idle church, falling into complete disuse. Family by family, the people who used to come to it each Sunday have gone, until now the Episcopalian population has vanished.
 Sixty miles from Golconda is the town of Midas, named after the fabled king whose touch turned everything to gold. Midas is rich in opportunity for the work of the Episcopal church. but poor, in that it has no such church.
 These are the conditions revealed by Bishop George C. Hunting of the EpiscoDa, Missionary EGoc.S= af Nc vada, in his survey of the needs of his diocese.
 Bishop Hunting believes that the church should follow the population, that it should find the place where it is most needed. But he believes as well that the business of the church should be done with conservation and efficiency. So he did not let the old church in Golconda crumble and rot from lack of use while he figured on the cost of a new church for Midas. Instead he obtained estimates for taking down the Golconda church in sections.
 Then in his survey he suggested tha- the Episcopal church give the church at Golconda a ride on a motor truck, 60 miles overland to Midas and set it down there.
