Veteran From Russia
Demands Aid of Allies
American Says u. S. Troops
Are Fighting Bravely to
Hold Off Great Odds

John Przybylski, of Company NJ,
539th Infantry, who recently returned
from the Russian front, said that at
the time Of his departure Bolshevik
troops had not been inspired with
hatred for the United States. Never
theless, he said, they fought like saw
ages, practised indescribable atroci-
ties, and were officered In many in
stances by Germans.
The peril in Russia" he said. "is
not so much from the fighting quality
of the Bolshevik troops but from sheer
numbers.
Every man counts with US, and when
you consider that know of companies
which have lost seventy-nine men, the
situation becomes really perilous. We
are long way from our base of sup
plies. while they have their whole
country at their backs. The Germans
are rallying them, waving the red flag.
If we had full army in there we
could lick them to a frazzle, but
haven't, or didn't. when | was there.
81 was IN eight or nine fights, and
If the boys in the other sectors Of the
war had anything that we missed |
don>- know what it was. We fought
battles where twenty of the Allies
faced 400 of the Reds and we licked
'em. The French and the British h
fought with US, and, let me tell YOU
right here and now, they all fought. "

Expected Tax Forces Up
Liquor Sales i'm City

The last few days have seen phe
nomenal liquor sales in this city ac-
cording to statement made yester-
Gay by retail dealer whose trade
ordinarily is extensive. He expects to
see the rush for liquor last until the
new tax of s6.40 gallon is imposed
Il is thought that that tax bill will
take effect about the end Of the month
1t will add about 80 per cent to the
price of distilled liquors
BY that time stocks will be getting
exceedingly low here, dealers said
Within & month, they said, the brandy
would be gore. The demand for
brandy has been tremendous lately. due
IL part, it is thought to purchases by
hospitals, whose doctors have advised
laying in a stock before higher prices
come.
One retail dealer thought that the
Scotch and Irish whiskeys in the mar
ket would be sold out inside of six
weeks. He gave California wines three
or four months.
William II. Edwards. Collector of In
ternal Revenue, said that high prices
and the dwindling supply of liquor had
resulted already in mushroom crop Of
moonshinc stills, which had sprung up
all over the city. Moonshine whiskey,
1t IS said, costs only about dollar q
gallon 70 produce.

Wreck Keeps Hylan
From Bath on First
Day at Palm Beach
Mayor Says He WilY Give No
Attention to State Affairs,
Then Attacks S'Trusts'';
Tired, but Not Worn Out
Special Correspondence

PALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. 10.--Mayor
John f. Hylan, of New York, arrived
about noon to begin his usual winter
vacation, which, he said, Will last
from two to three weeks.
His trip with his wife and daughter
was uncventful, except that the train
was delayed several hours near Colum-
bia, S. c., by a freight wreck that got
the mayor in too late to go bathing.
He said he had brought nothing
down to work on, would give no at
tcntion or thought to affairs of his
office, was tired, but not worn out,
and that he intended to rest.
He decided he would accept an in
vitation awaiting him here from f.
G. Sewell, president of the Miami
Chamber of Commerce, to judge boat
races in the annual regatta there Sat-
urday. The other judges will be
Henry Waaterson. former Governor
Arthur Ceprer, of Kansas; ex-Scn-
ator Lewis II. Hilscndegen, of Wiscon-
sin; former Governor Winfield r. Dur
ban. Of Indiana; Carl G.. Fisher. Of
Minneapolis; John II. Hanan and Sam
ucl Untermyer, Of New York.
Talking about public matters, the
Mayor said the biggest question for
the people is the control of the trusts
Whlch deal IN neceSSltles-mllk, ice,
coal, beef and transportation. He men,
toned the milk controversy in New
York
"If it hadn't been settled the way it
was there would probably have been
some indictments" he said. He added
that the whole country was now in the
grasp of the meat trust.
He said New York City would be only
too glad TO run the subways if the
Intelborough decided it couldn't make
any money doing it, and added: "They
know that, but don't think they want
to get rid of it,
The labor outlook in New York Mr..
Hylan regards as not Unsatisfactory.
The question of the control of food
prices he thought to be of most i'm
portancc.
Prices are coming down. he con-
cluded, "and ! look for gradual ad-
justment."
Speaking of the league of nations
he said; II have always argued Mr..
Wilson should have gone abroad. He

of business before him. They were all

the stock of the other companies. 1t
Is called registrar of stock" for the
Lightning Greek Company.
Basis of the Stock
The basis for stock selling in the
urverzagt projects is a holding of land
in the Lightning Creek district Of
British Columbia, district that once
was looked upon as a rich field for gold
mining operations. Mining commits
sioners for the district and other au-
thorities quoted by Unverzagt tell CT
the gold once taken from mines in the
vicinity. The latest report of the
Commissioner of Mines for the district
says that no mining operations are
going on at Lightning Creek now. Un-
verzagt says that he expects to ere
sumo operations" in the spring, how
ever.
unverzagt is not unfamiliar with the
operations of the various branches cf
the governments departments of ius-
tlce. 1t was in May. 1917, that long
investigation by Postal Inspectors
Jacobs and Saffel resulted in the
naming of Unverzagt as a man who
IN 1916 had been flooding the Offices
OF members Of Congress with pro-
German propaganda. In the circulars,
some of which were sent out anony-
mously, Congress and President Will
son were charged with permitting
Great Britain to dominate American
affairs.
Admitted He Did 1t
Unverzagt was taken before Assist
ant District Attorney Talley, where he
Is said to have admitted sending the
letters and that he alone had financed
them. Mr.. Talley said that he gave his
word never again to interfere in gov
ernment affairs
In March. 1912, while Unverzagt was
attempting to sell stock in London, he
was arrested on complaint of his typisf,
Alice Winifred Smith. who charged him
with sending hbelous postcard con-
cernlng her. He was released on bail,
and according to newspaper clippings
OF that date. his bonds were forfeited
when he failed to appear for trial.
Unverzagt was running what he called
the Security Mutual Bank, at s Union
Square, in 1891. He was indicted. fol-
lowing the investigation by the bank
examiner, charged with falsely adver-
tislng the institution as bank. He
changed his advertisement, however
and the indictment was dismissed.

Tobacco's Arch Foe
Decides Campaign
Must Be Modified
Prof. Roman of Syracuse Is
Willing to Let America
Smoke for "a While if 1t
Will 'Hearken to Reason
By BRIGGS

SYRACUSE, n Y, Feb 10-Pro-
fessor Frederick W. Roman, arch
enemy of tobacco, who recently started
movement for constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the use of that weed
in any form, has modified his views.
He has discovered that tobacco has
its uses.
For instance, he explains, it is help
full to kill lice on chickens. Also he
has learned that it is used in the
manufacture of dyes.
Because of this, he thinks that it is
going to be rather difficult to pass
legislation prohibiting its production,
so now he will devote his time to
educating the people to the enormous
waste tobacco causes.
Eventually we hope to have tobacco
abolished" declared Professor Roman,
"but not in the immediate future To-
bacco has its uses, for instance, in the
manufacture of dyes and as an in
secticide in the care of poultry. For
that reason it would be hard to get
9 law prohibiting its production. Our
principal work will be to educate the
people as to the tremendous waste
tobacco causes"
DR.. Franklin Hall, so Professor
Roman says, who holds the Job of
national secretary of the No-Tobacco
League of the United States of Amer
ica, with headquarters at Butler, Ind,
is coming to Syracuse within the next
few days to organize branches of the
league in this section. In this work
he is to have the advice and assistance
of Professor Roman. Professor Roman
explains that he is actively engaged
in work along the same lines as the
No-Tobacco League. but is going ahead
independent of that organization,
although he is a member.
The reception given Professor Ro-
mans campaign for Federal amend
ment prohibiting the use and produc-
tion of tobacco has evidently damped
his enthusiasm, for he has re-
vised his plans and now says it is
probable he will not try to force the
passage OF such legislation at present,
but will content himself with educat-
ing the people to the great cost of
tobacco, and then launch the drive
for the amendment later. Such an
amendment, he says, is bound to come
some time.
The professor also struck snag
when he enlisted the W. C. T. U. in
the drive without first making arrange
ments with it. Officials of the
county organization of that society
here Immediately denied they were
associated with him in the work.
AT present" says Professor Roman,
"the campaign has three objects in
view: To create sentiment, and legis-
late against the use of tobacco by
persons under twenty-one years Of
age; to bring about legislation pro-
hibiting smoking in public places, and
to educate the people to the great
cost of the tobacco habit. Eventually
we hope to have tobacco abolished, but
not in the immediate future"

Consumers Profit
AS Dealers Fight
For Milk Business
Price Drops as Low as 3
Gents in Manhattan and
Bronx; Fresh Charges
Made at Court Inquiry

While milk distributors arc cutting
prices against one another, residents
of the more congested districts of
Manhattan and The Bronx are Dur
chasing loose milk at pre-war rates
Although the maximum price fixed bv
Governor Smiths milk commission is
l3 cents O. quart for loose milk. the
avenues of Harlem and streets of The
Bronx abound with signs advertising
milk at and even cents a quart.
This was brought out yesterday at
an informal hearing before Chairman
Robert E. Bowling of the Milk Com
mission, held in his Offices, 1865 Broad
way. Almost 100 dealers were present
with claims that the intensive compc-
tltlon necessary to sustain their
patronage is running them. According
to the smaller dealers tho price cut
ting orgy was begun by the Borden
company in an effort to regain
patronage lost during the recent war
between producers and distributors
The lesser firms, who acceded to the
dairymen's demands, took over a large
portion of the Borden's loose milk
trade.
Underselling Is Charged.
With the close of hostilities. accord
ing to William Levy, of the Levy Dairy
Company, the Bordens and other larger
concerns began underseling the inde-
pendents. Instead of getting $3.50 for
a forty-quart can, they sold as low as
$3.50 and 81. TO meet this, indepen-
dent dealers have cut down their quota
tions to the grocers to such an extent
that they arc losing from 60 cents to
81 on can.
The dealers admitted they were ap-
peallng to Mr.. Bowling to save them
selves from financial disaster. Thew
declared fatly they could not stand
the strain of the present prices"
II do not see," said Mr.. Bowling,
how | can interfere. | don't think
anything would justify my interfering
with something which results in re-
duced milk price for the consumer"
