vent Of nationwide prohibitions, those empOriums where
only hard stuff is sold must give way TO those where
soft drinks only are dispensed. or else disappear en-

New York's pioneer soft bar" is to be found in the
Salvation Army hotel. in West Forty-seventh street.
for many years known as the old Victoria hotel and a
landmark in The very heart Of New York's tcnderloin.
Those who crcpt in and out of the hotel Of the older

The bar is pretty much as it was. that is Geographic
cally and INTELLECTUALLY speaking. Two white coated
attendants are in constant attendance and deft walters
hover near to bear TO those who prefer a seat at one
OF the many little tables 10 a position with foot resting
on the brass rail, whatever their fancy dictates. All
the intricate tools and utensils TO be found behind a
regular bar have their place here. for the drinks that
are mixed are legion, and it is a thirsty crowd that as
,embles in this attractive room. Business is good all
day and far into the night, for the soldiers and sailors,

Allies Represented by Military.

The allies at Spa are represented
only by military men. They have no
civilians and not even political men.
They have no press bureau and no
correspondents. No train runs from
Paris; to. Spa. There is daily train
from Spa to Berlin. on which German
experts and political, men come and
go. The situation at Spa among the
allies is only an example of the lack
elsewhere of free public discussion of
the situation.
What is greatly needed among the
allies is closer, friendly affiliation and
public discussion in the newspapers
Of each country of the views of the
other allied countries, unhampered
by censorship. Such untrammeled al
lied public discussion would do more
to bring closer allied relationship
and the final solution of the different
peace problems that hundreds of Of

Must Return to Land.

try will not reconstruct. Secretary
Of the Interior Franklin X. Lane told
The reconstruction conference assem-
bled in the auditorium of the Interior
Department this morning. All shades
of political opinion and nearly all
grades of social life were represented
by the delegates who filed the hall.
Mr.. Lane said the schools had lost
their American life and failed to give
inspiration to American thought. They
had degenerated into mere Journalism,
and before they can fully serve the
great purpose for which they were
founded they must be revolutioniZesL
Must Present Example.
The Secretary said the winning Of
the war was not enough 1t was all
very well to talk to the Jugo-Slavs
and the Germans and AuStriaus of the
blessings of democracy. but it would
be better to make the best Of sucn
| blessings in America. so that the ma
ticn would be able TO present to. the
victims OF oppression a concrete cX-
ample of the new thought. new phil
osophy, which should dominate DEM
oci attic institutions
The Secretary said the nation had
reached that period of reaction which
always follows times of great activity
and abnormal achievements 3, lie
warned the conference that it will be
more difficult to win the battles that
| must be fought under peaceful con
editions, than to win the fight against
!, imperialism.
"Ai1 periods OF great activity are
followed by spells of relaxation" said
the Secretary. You are to keep the
current moving and give direction TO
| its progress. We have gone too much
on the theory that God will take care
of us.
I'VE want some of the German sys-
tenn, coupled with American enthusi-
asm and industry. The German gem
eral staff forty years ago made prepa-
move that was to be made in the fear
ful tragedy, except the movement to-
ward defeat
Now. why can't we establish a gen
era1 staff in this country whose duty
will be to foresee the needs of indus
try and to prepare for the problems of
peaceful life? Let it be the general
staff of peace
/ Let us move back to the soil
France held out for four years because
she was attached to the soil.
1T was this attachment to the soil
which made the Frenchman fight with
dure with such astounding fortitude. !"

PARIS, France. January s.-From
highly reliable and informed sources
/ have the following information con-
corning the situation in Spa and
Germany. Germany brought to Spa
first a press bureau and then in ad-
dition to the German officers on the
armistice condition she brought ex-
perts and business men having a
knowledge OF the financial and in
dustrial conditions of their country.
The Germans have completely changed
their attitude toward the allies de-
clared war aims, including President
Wilson's fourteen points. Even the
language is undergoing change.
They speak in terms of democracy
and their objections to the harsher
measures of the armistice are that
they would produce suffering among
women and children.
All Subject to Removal
The German representatives at Spa
are uncertain as to what government
they represent. They say they may
be removed at any time by change
in the government. They all receive
the same compensation, 80 marks
$3.50 a day whether it is a door
keeper or the general at the head of
the armistice delegation. This is the
price which in certain portions of
Germany everybody receives who
works, no matter what the work may
be. 1t Is the same thing that hap
pened under Alexander Kerensky's
government during the Russian revo-
luton. In Berlin the wages are low
