suddenly and irrevocably break off
that habit, verges on the ridiculous
Which brings us to Dave, to whose
oasis the pessimist repairs after his
innocent expression of good inten-
tions has been received so raucously
at Jake's.
Dave is chiefly concerned over the
moral welfare of his fellowmen
once their supply of liquor is cut
off He is convinced that a general
realization of the dreadful iniqui-
ties to which he believes the Amer
lean public would resort were pro-
hibition to go into effect will serve
to stay the onward march of the
drys before July 1.
"Take away your booze and you'll
go to the coke, won't yuh?" Dave
demands
The pessimist Indignantly denies
that he will dc any such thing.
"Well, you know what l mean,'
Dave mollifes, "mebbe you wouldn't,
but a lot of 'em would. Yuh can't
deny that now, can yuh?"
1t occurs to the pessimist to reply
that, not being endowed with second
sight or the gift of prophecy and
never having had any particular
occasion to study the ways and Gus
toms Of the devotees of cocaine
and kindred narcotics, he is in no
position either to deny or affirm
Dawes prediction. But he concludes
that would probably go over Dawes
head, so he contents himself with
merely admitting that he can't deny
it.
course yuh can't" Dave re-
joins. "Have one on me-"
And over the drink Dave explains
how the great American saloon has
become the last bulwark of the forces
of decency and morality against the
encroachments of those who would
foist the drug habit on hundreds of
thousands of hitherto respectable
citizens, whose one failing was an oc-
casional highball or cocktail. His elo-
quence is so persuasive that the pes
simist comes almost to envision him
self two years hence as the pitiable
slave to hypodermic needle. He act
ually gets sorry for himself and

managers and press agents, he is
informed of the details Of deep-laid
plans and Screenings which, once ar
rived at their fruition, will throw
the drys into rout which will make
that German affair of last October
resemble Sunday school picnic.
"Why, Eelihu Root" - Steve re-
sumes, then stops. He losses his
head backward and winks slowly and
profoundly. "Well, just you wait
and see what happens"
There is no mistaking the infer
ence. The regulars at the end of
the bar nod sagely to one another
and inwardly speculate upon what
Steve and Senator Root and other
leaders and advisers of the vets

be it known, is stanch believer
in the ultimate thwarting of the pro-
hibitionists by the force of public
opinion. There really isn't any
question that that portion Of the
public with which Jake comes in con-
tact is strongly opposed to prohibit
ton.
"The people won't stand for it,
he states stentoriously.

tinker's tin whistle whether the
country goes dry or not.
"S'far's I'm concerned" he as
sures the customer, "it don't make
no difference. It's you fellers I'm
thinkin' Of. Whatll you do if it
goes dry? Tell me at, will yuh?"
1t is deeply affecting to many
drinkers of long and impeccable
standing at the bar, so to speak, to
contemplate the downright passion
with which the once naughty aris-
tocracy of retail liquor dealers is
enfolding the formerly despised
commonalty of buyers and con-
sumers of drinks to it's palpitating
bosom. Many a man who has striven
for years, without any marked de-
gree of success, to achieve a plane
of-not equality, that would be
overweening ambition-but a plane,
let us say, Of easy familiarity with
the corner saloonkeeper suddenly
finds himself the object of that
potentate's greatest affection and
concern.
Accordingly, the pessimist is not
surprised at Jake's solicitous query:
"Whatll you do if it goes dry?"
This is somewhat Of poser, to
be sure. What will he do? he
ponders.
"Why," he finally ventures, 81
suppose I'll have to do without the
stuff"

Street and Astor Place, which has
800 feet of imposing brownstone
frontage. The proportions of the
place are such that when the equip
ment is complete it will look like the
Bar Association or the Union
League Club.
The ground floor of the old build
ing provides office room for the 18th
Division Employment Agency, where
Gordon L. Sawyer, of the United
States Employment Service, with a
staff Of clerks who were soldiers in
the division, is finding jobs for the
men who fought overseas. On the
ground floor also is the billiard
room, in use at all hours Of the day
and some of the night. Five tables
are now working, and as soon as
more boys get the habit of coming
to the club more will be installed.
Nothing Small
Up central stairway Of the
grand horseshoe type-there is
nothing small about this place-is
the prize floor of the building. Here
are the old reading rooms of the IL
brary, partially remodelled to fit
their new use. In one Of them are the
Offices Of the regimental auxiliaries,
:. the associations of the womenfolk
of the soldiers, which sent sweaters
and encouragement to the fighters
who ploughed through the Argonne
and also helped to maintain the
families of those who needed aid.
On the same floor is the club

TALLY, rivals any on Fifth Avenue.
Just now the walls need a little

takes the average doughboy a week
to climb out Of them. The club

done so, and the three thousand, it
is confidently said, will surely come.
Meanwhile the social life of the
club continues. On June Is the
305th Field Artillery will give a
smoker. On the following night the
306th Infantry will entertain. Major
General Alexander is expected to at
tend at least one of these functions.
And in addition to the formal gath
erings, there is daily accumulation
of ex-soidiers around the pool tables,
which are never idle.

of truth there may be in that asser-
ton the writer has never undertaken
to calculate. He has known saloon

ton, which provides if any one of
it's officers attempt to run for politi-
cal office he is thereby automatically
removed from his position in the
association.
Just now the association and its
clubhouse are waiting for the boys
to show their interest. Those in
charge have just launched a cam
paign for three thousand men to de-
clare that they will take an active
interest in the clubhouse. In the
past few days several hundred have

these a couple of carpenters could
make short work.
Adjoining the gymnasium is a
battery of shower baths, already in
stalled. In the coming hot days
these baths will probably be the
most popular features of the club
house. Many former member of
the division who works in an East
Side sweatshop will welcome the re-
lief he can get here when his day is
over. Later, when the number Of
men who use the clubhouse has in
creased, swimming pool will be
built.

No Trophies

In the entire building there is no
other evidence of the less pleasant
days of military service. There are
no battle SCARED flags and no
trophies. A uniform is rarely seen
inside the door. All suggestions of
the military are carefully avoided.
Talon was sergeant, but he
doesn't speak of that now. Still

Courage Which Brought
Victory Will Garry on
Through Reconstruction

Paris. Saturday, July 12.-ln the
statement issued to the French press
tonight prior to his departure TOT
Brest. Secretary Lansing expressed
belief that the courage which had
carried Franch through to victory
would bring her through the trying
period of reconstruction. The Sec
retary's statement follows:
II return home with a deep sense
of what Franch has suffered in the
war, but with a still deeper convic-
ton that the courage which brought
her through TO victory will carry
her over the trying days of recon-
struction.
''I think that I should say that a
delay in the sailing of my steamer
has brought my departure to the
eve of that day so historic to France
and which now is doubly consecrat-
ed by the first victory parade OF
the Allied and Associated powers.
THE temptation to remain is
great, but imperative necessity pre-
vents my doing so. The demands OF
peace, including the ratification OF
the Treaty and the Franco-Ameri-
can agreement and the expansion
of the work of Americas Depart
ment of Foreign Affairs to meet the
new problems involved are no less
stern than those of war, and l am
sure that the French people. to
whom I am deeply indebted, will
appreciate better than many others

FEEL PINCH OF
ECONOMY IN COAL PRICES
Export Industries Explain Th Increase Will Handicap
Them in Their Competition With Other Countries

commission headed by Sir John
Sankey, and the falling off of pro-
'duction. The present position of rail-
ways and mines is that there is
government control with private
ownership.
The question agitating the coun-
try, particularly politicians, Is
whether the government proposes to
adopt the demand of labor unions
for naturalization. Colonel Winston
Spencer Churchill, secretary of war
told his constituents in Dundee dur
ing an address in the last election
campaign that the government had
decided to nationalize the railways.
Conservative members of the Lloyd
George coalition cabinet opposed
this bitterly and appear to have car
ried the day. Andrew Bonar Law,
government leader in the House of
Commons, said in the House on
Wednesday: 1T is utterly impossi-
BILE that an industry like coal should
be subsidized out of the taxpayers
pockets"
Sir Eric Geddes, speaking on the
transport bill said: "The surest way
to national bankruptcy is to go on
subsidiZng services. Each service
must stand on it's own legs"
U. s. Competition Feared
Among the statements and esti-
mates as to what six shilling rise
in the price of coal means, the Fede-
ration of British Industries, repre-
senting 5000, 900 pounds in capi-
tai, says that engineering products
must be increased in price from )
to 10 per cent; textiles from to
4; chemicals, gas and electricity, 10;
building trades steel, $6 a ton;
bricks, 5 per cent. and glass from
to 10 per cent. Steel manufactur-
ers estimate their increased costs
at pounds per ton.
American competition is feared.
It is said that Americans are now
selling at less than English cost
prices in London. Gas companies
say that their product will cost the
people of London 100000 pounds
more per year. Inflated prices be-
ing England's greatest problem to-
day. these predictions startle peo-
pie.

By Associated Press.

London, Saturday, July 12.-Sel-
dom has any people received such a
swift and vivid lesson in practical
economics as the British govern
ment has given this nation by the
notice in the House OF Commons on
Wednesday that it was raising the
price of coal six shillings per ton
from next Wednesday.
The response has been immediate
and specific, and comes from almost
every branch of industry in the
kingdom, from steel manufacturers,
managers, gas works and almost all
shipbuilders, ship owners, railway
sorts of manufacturers and indus
tries down to laundries and bakeries.
They explain just what the govern
ment order will cost their concerns
and serve notice, also, that they
must pass the cost on to the buyers
and consumers.
Kick OH Coal Increase
Great export industries declare
that the increase in the price of
coal will handicap them in their
competition with other countries
and may mean, in some instances,
a stoppage of their plants and an
increase in unemployment. The gen
eral public is told how much the
higher price of coal VIII innate Nv
ing expenses. The government ap-
parently meant this to be an OBJ
iect lesson as to what would result
from the prevalent agitation for
higher wages and shorter working
hours. 1t also seems to be trying TO
throw cold water on the campaign
for the naturalization of industries
by trying to show that government
management does not mean that
wages can be increased and prices
decreased indefinitely. Labor has
taken up the gauntlet Immediately
charging the government with wish
ing to kill the plan of naturalization
and also declaring that the govern
ment is favoring capitalists and mis-
representing conditions by bungling
bookkeeping.
The government holds that the
increase of six shillings was nee
essitated by increased wages grant
ed as a result of the report OF the
