Frank A. Woodfeld, Home Secre-

acknowledgment to Major Hugh K.

to Major Riley reads:
Dear Major Riley:
Il just wanted to send you a per-
sonal word of thanks for the splendid
way in which you and your co-operat
ing members carried on the Salvation
Army Appeal in Anne Arundel county
1.-TWO or three Maryland counties
wcro not so prompt as Anne Arundel
in making their final report. so / can
not give you definite statement at
this time, but from the present indi-
cations it appears that Anne Arundel
is leading all the other non-corps
counties in Maryland in the percent
age of the quota which it received.
1T Is interesting to note that this
part of Maryland contributed nearly
$500 more than it did last year, where
as. in a large number of places the
amount raised was less than that of
last year, due, no doubt, TO the exces-
sive number OF drives held during the
time intervening.
81 should like to write a personal
word OF thanks to every one who
helped in the appeal, but to do so
would merely mean repitition of this
little note to you. Therefore, | am
taking the liberty of sending carbon
copies to the ones who were most &C
tive in the work
81 foel grateful to all Of you, not
only for the way in which you work
ed but also for the spirit of personal
friendliness which was shown me
from the moment l arrived in Anna
polls.
'If ever l can be of any service to
the people of Annapolis, and | am in
this part of the country, | hope you
will LET me know | eXDect to leave
for the West the first part of July"

NOW ONE
YEAR OLD; ADVOCATES
PREDICT A LONG LIFE

Yesterday, July /, was the first
birthday of prohibition, and in spite OF
its youth prohibition officials were un-
animous in praising the lustiness of
the infant and predicting for it long
life.
The leaders of the Federal dry Of
fees admit frankly that the work of
eradicating liquor is far from being
on a smooth-running basis, as yet.
They declared, however, that the end
of the year found them in much
better position for optimism than its
beginning.
Prohibition Director Richard 5
Dodson, who issues permits for the
handling of liquor for non-beverqg &c
purposes, felt especially pleased. He
declared that physicians and drug
gists in the Maryland district are get
ting tired of the mental stress re-
quired 10 dispense liquor without run
ming afoul of the law and are sending
back unused prescription and dis
pensing blanks.
Mr. Dodson received letter yester-
day from Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer urging extreme care in the is
suance of permits to new concerns"
The papers are to be given out "only
when the director approves and whep
me APPLICANT appears worthy" accord

AUDITORIUM, SAN FRAN
CISCO, July 2.-All set for the
battle of the "wets" and "drys"

thing ready for a battle royal.
The first skirmish was set to

There was little prospect for bal

night, if even then.
At 1926 Senator Robinson
called for order and the whole
convention quieted down very
quickly. The prayer was by the
Reverend Josiah Sibley, of San
Francisco.
A verse of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" served to key even
higher the tense expectancy OF
the crowd and at the conclusion
there was an outbreak of cheer
ing mingled with cries for
Bryan. Again more cheering

of the platform, the opening of

Bryan's "Dry' Plank Unchanged
Ills dry" plank was the same as
the one he announced on his arrival
in San Francisco last week. In an
other plank he renewed his fight for
national bullet to be published by the
government He also had a profiteer
plank, proposing the elimination OF
unnecessary middlemen," and to
force disclosure of cost and selling
prices, and to recommend creation at
the present time of State commissions
similar to the Federal Trade Commis-
sion.
Another plank declared merely for
