Relief for Armenians Hindered.

Paris, July 2S-The American relief
administration has received message
from Major Joseph Green, who is in
charge Of Armenian relief, saying the
Georgian government has placed an
embargo on supplies passing through
Georgia for the Armenians. This en-
barge has lasted more than week and
the officials show little disposition to
raise 1t. As a result of the food en-
barge hunger threatens many sections
OF Armenia despite the supplies which
the Americans have made available.

well established In EnaaAd. appears

DRASTIC DRY BILL
. PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Expected to Forever
Suppress Liquor Traffic on
American Soil.
FINAL VOTE 287 TO 100
Is Ready for Action In Senate Where
Several Annu,ments Are Pos
sibIe-Provisions of
New Law.

Washington, July 23.-By vote of
nearly three to one, 2S7 to 100, the
house, weary of talk of prohibition,
passed a bill for its enforcement with
provisions and penalties so drastic as
to BRING from the men who framed 1t
the prediction 1t would forever sup
press the liquor traffic on American
soil.
Provisions of Bill.
The prohibition enforcement bill as
it passed the house provides:
After January &c, 1920:
Every person permitted under the
law to have liquor in his possession
shall report the quantity and kind TO
the commissioners of internal revenue.
(1his applies to chemists, physicians,
etc.
After February 1, 1920: ~
The possession of any liquor, other
than as authorized by the law, shall be
prlma facie evidence that it is being
kept for sale or otherwise in violation
of the law. 1t will not be required,
however, to report, and 1t will not be
illegal to have in ones possession
liquor in a private dwelling while the
same is occupied and used-by the pos
SCISSOR as his private dwelling, and the
liquor is used for personal consump-
ton by the owner, his family or his
guests.
Intoxicating Liquor Defined.
The pc SCISSOR of such liquors, how.
ever, bears the burden of proof that
the liquor was acquired and is pos
sessed lawfully. intoxicating liquor Is
defined as beverage containing more
than one-half per cent of alcohol.
Any house. boat. vehicle or other
place where liquor is manufactured or
sold is declared nuisance.
No persons shall manufacture, sell,
barter, give away, transport, import
export, deliver, furnish or receive any
Intoxicating liquors.
Some Exceptions Made.
Liquor for non-beverage purposes
and wine for sacramento use may be
sold under specified regulations.
Denatured alcohol. medicinal pre-
parations (including patent medicines)
unfit for beverage purposes. toilet arti-
cles, havoring extracts and vinegar are
exempted.
Registered physicians are authorized
to issue prescriptions under strict reg
ulations for the use of liquor in cases
where it may be considered necessary
as a medicine.
Liquor advertisements of all kinds
are prohibited.
Sale, manufacture or distribution Of
compounds intended for use in the un-
lawful manufacture of liquor is pro-
hibited together with sale or publica-
ton Of recipes for home manufacture.

and rises steadily. eliminating in the

Is miles south of the town of Porto
Belle. East Of Cerro Bruja peak the
Rio Piedras rises almost in the basin
of the Chagres, flows north around the
base Of Cerro Brujo, then west, and
enpties into the sea half way between
Colon and Porto Bello. The Pfedras Is
one of the largest rivers Of Panama,
but you will not find 1t on any map,
even its mouth having been mistaken
for lagoon of the sea when the coast
line was charted.

existing maps, is an insignificant little
stream, several miles long, really I'M

ceibas, rubber, and fig. The enormous
trunks with great buttressed roots rise
100 feet without a limb, and then
spread out literally to hide the sky.
Limbs, so high that one can scarcely
see them among the leaves, drop lianas
to the ground-long tangled lines like
the wrecked rigging of some masted
ship. Then there is the secondary
growth, a hundred varieties of tree
ferns and palms. suited by nature to
grow in semidarkness, robbed of the
sunlight by their giant neighbors.
The bird life is no less wonderful
than the vegetation. The Panama
jungle is alive with birds. The variety
and coloring are truly remarkable. On
the ground observed several varieties
of quail, tinamou, and pheasants. In
the low-bush area are wrens, humming
birds, thrushes, ant birds, and a va
riety Of other species either common
to the United States or unknown to
me. In the medium zone, half way to
the leafy ceiling of the jungle, dwell
doves, guans, owls. motmots, and tro-
gans. High up In the roof are parrots,
parrakeets, macaws, toucans, and
cotingas.
The mammal life of the jungle liz
also very abundant. The ordinary
traveller, however, will see little of It
owing to several conditions which only
man with extensive hunting or col
lecting experience will realize. Among
the animals 1 observed were tapir.

II BELIEVE 1t wiH surprise most
Americans, and perhaps few of
our field naturalists, to learn that
right at the back door OF the
Panama canal lies an almost unknown
jungle wilderness. unmapped and
practically uninhabited in the interior
except for a few very primitive In
dams. Virtually the entire eastern
portion of the republic of Panama ly-
ing between the canal and Colombia,
roughly 800 miles long by from 90 to
100 miles wide, is unknown, and the
published maps of this country, except
for the seacoast and the location OF
half dozen small towns, are all
faxed. writes Lieut. Col. Townsend
Whelen in Natural History.
1t was my good fortune to spend the
entire dry seasons December to June)
of 1916 and 1917 exploring part of
this country. We found it necessary
to know something of that portion OF
1t nearest the canal, and 1t fell to my

In the Real Jungle.
In the Canal zone, which extends five
miles to either side of the canal, prac-
tically all of the jungle forest has long
since been cut off, and in its place has
grown up a dense, impenetrable sec
ond group of small trees, palms, creep
ers, thorns, and coarse grass. But IL
one cuts his way through this tangled
growth for about five miles in from
the canal he comes to the real jungle,
standing up like gigantic wall of
green verdure. Once in 1t all is diff
ferent, even the very climate itself.
Here one can wander at will, unim-
-peded by thorns and creepers. 1t is
even easier travelling here than in the
woods of our own Northeast, because
as q rule there is much less "down"
timber. 1t is like new world, world
that one has not even read about.
From the blazing sun and sweltering
heat of the second growth one enters

trees go up limbless for from 100 to
200 feet. and then spread out their
verdure, literally hiding the sky. Beau
tiful slender palms grow in great pro-
fusion In the se1iiidarkness forming
the lower growth, impeding ones view
but not ones progress. Scarcely ever
can one see more than so yards, and
never does the explorer get an extend

highest mountains. When / first en-
