 He Will not go now. He says he has too many things to do in connec- ton with keeping the United States dry. Mr. Wheeler has been asked to make. some speeches in Great Britian and may go to atteend the dry con- yenttoa,' in September,
 The Antisaloon League is devoting attention at present to ways and means of meeting the expected out pouring Of candidates in the fall cleo tions who will favor a more liberal construction of the eighteenth amend ment.
 Representative Igoe Democrat, Mis- souri. who has led the fights of the vets oa the floor of the House in re- cert months, thinks his prophecies that prohibition would become a big iss..s will be fulfilled.
 If the supreme court, he said, de C,sjes that Congress can fix the per eeatage of alcohol, candidates may be expected to come out for various per centages or no percentages at all. If the court follows out the reasoning IT the wartime enforcement case they are likely to hold that Congress can fix percentages.
 My opinion is that if the state leg islatures knew the extent to which enforcement legislation would go at the time the amendment was submit ted it never could have received the the backing of 36 states.
 ''This has been made a political question forever"
 Hunting for loopholes for the prohi- bition enforcement regulations has been favorite occupation since Jan. r. Prohibition commissioner Kramer told today how ship operators had worked inside the law to get around the regulation requiring all liquor for export to be outside the three-mile limit by midnight on January l6-
 Upon request for a ruling it was heit tat vessels taking on part of their cargo at some foreign port could .nteg an American port with liquor en board and take additional cargo ssithout fear that the liquor would be seised. During the export rush just p-ior to Jan. IT ship operators, aided perhaps by some head scratching and loaded all their consignment of liquor left thc rest of the cargo they were to ta'ze in the warehouses and got up stea.a for Canada or Cuba. He~e soue zeGblance, at least, of loading 3 portion ef a cargo was made.
 Letter. ships with good American liquor fer export began dropping into American ports to pick up the rest of the load. Prohibition enforcement officers could only smile and admit that tfe law had not been violated. while liquor exporters congratulated themselves on saving some hundreds of barrels of good liquor.

PROVING ADVANTAGES
Peace Time Army Is Attracting \
Number of Men.

Few persons realize the signifi-
canoe of the educational work Of the
new peace time army, or the advan-
tages that it offers TO the young men
today. 1t is not that enlisted men
are merely going to schsol and that
soldiers throughout the army are re-
ceiving general or special education
as a part of their army training, but
that they are receiving training that
will give them a good advantage
when they return to civil life.
One of the biggest purposes of the
army training today, is to train the
army in ideals of Civic upbuilding,
and will have great bearing on
the country in the future.
Some few men have recognized the
advantages that the new peace time
army offers them, during the month
and have entered the service through
the local recruiting office, according
to Sergeant c. F. March, in charge
of the Alma recruiting office.
Among these men are Thomas B.

Legality of the Procedure OF City
Com mission Settled by
Lawyers.

On Tuesday evening the city COM
mission sold the $4,000 worth of
water system improvement bonds to
the Detroit Trust company, this con-
cern being the highest bidder for the
bonds that the city wishes to dispose
of, in order that the improvement on
the water system might be continued.
Only two bids were made this
week for the bonds, due probably to
market conditions in the country,
Payne Webber Company Of Detroit,
being the other bidder.
The bids were asked for on $4,000
worth of bonds and also on $4,000
worth of bonds, as the city officials
thought that perhaps it might be ad-
visAble TO dispose of only the smaller
amount Of bonds at this time, but
thorough discussion Of the market
conditions of the country convinced
them that it would be a matter Of
good business 70 sell the entire $780,
600 worth of the bonds now rather
than take chance on the balance
in a few months hence. with such
uncertain market conditions.
The bonds have already been APP
proved by one of the leading firms of
bond attorneys of Detroit, and are
known to be good, and the bid of the
Detroit Trust company was made
contingent on the approval of the
bonds by this firm.
The Detroit Trust company bid
par for the bonds, with some various
small expenses connected with the
handling and printing of the bonds
to be paid by the city which amounts
10 total Of S765.00.
