ARE ARRESTED
Result Of First Thirty Days Of
Prohibition.
National Enforcement Agency. With
: Fifteen Hundred Operatives, Is
About Organized.

Observation-Disclosures than 1000 ar
rests marked the first months consti.
tutional prohibition. Federal Prohibi.
ton Commissioner Kramer estimated
in an interview. Announcement of
the exact number OF arrests will not
be possible until reports are received
February 25.
With approximately 1900 agents in
the service, the national prohibition
enforcement agency now is almost
completely organized, according to
Kramer.
But only a start has ben made to-
ward solving the problem of making
the country dry, Kramer said.
"The most important results of the
first month are intangible" he said.
THE development of first import
ance is the very evident change in the
attitude of the citizens toward the
law, especially in the eastern cities. Ii
is rapidly becoming plain that the peo-
pie OF the country are giving their en-
tire support to enforcing the law. At
first this was not clearly apparent al
though it might have been assumed to
be so from the fact the constitutional
amendment was adopted. But at first
it seemed at though enforcing the law
would depend entirely upon the Off
Gals.
Now, however. there is a distinct
change noticeable in public opinion.
In Boston, for instance. the police,
backed completely by public sentiment
are enforcing that clause of the law
which makes it necessary to remove
all liquor signs from buildings for
merly occupied by saloons. The build
ings rapidly are being c%onvedted to
other uses. All traces of the former
traffic i'll liquor are rapidly disappear

RESENTED BY ITALIANS
Feeling Against Stand Taken By
Wilson Is Strong.
Feel That Their Claims To considera.
ton and Their Sacrifices Has Not
Been Appreciated.

London.-The American embassy
has forwarded to Washington the SUI
preme Council reply to President Will
sons Adriatic note.
The council announced in it's daily
semi-official communication that it
does not propose to make public the
correspondence SO that the question
of whether the notes will be given out
rests with President Wilson.
The council issued an emphatic de-
NAL Of French newspaper reports that
it was persuaded to modify and soften
the first draft of the note to President
Wilson.
The feeling at Italian Headquarters
over the presidents action is strong.
Unoficially it is spoken of as an attack
upon Italy and his memorandum is de.
scrlbed as an ultimatum. Italians also
feel 1taly's claims to consideration for
her part of the wal and her sacrifices
have never been quite appreciated bv
her allies.
The feeling in the Jugo-Slav camp is
equally strong, but has the element of
citation that the Slavs have a strong
champion. They feel they are at a
disadvantage because Minister Trum-
bitch is outside the councils of the
powers and like the Italians have their
WI grievance in that they consider
that the fact they were in the war
from the start and hat their country
was virtually ruined is not to be given
Die weight it deserves.

Summary of Chief Items In
Answer to Adriatic Note
Reaches This Country.
MAIN POINTS ARE GIVEN
Wilson's Threat to Withdraw sigma
ture To Treaty Regarding France
Would Defeat Policy He Urged,
Answer Says.

Buenos .Aires.-A summary Of main
points i'll the Allied reply to President
Wilson's .Adriatic note, cabled by the
Rome correspondent of La Nacion. dis
closes President Wilson threatened to
withdraw his signature from the Brit
ish-French-American treaty establish
ing security for France, to which the
Allies reply that such action would
destroy the new French policy" for
which President Wilson invited protec-
ton.
Fundamental points of the reply to
President Wilson, the correspondent
says, are:
First-The Allies answer the accusa-
ton of having prepared a convention
presupposes bad faith on Italy's part,
by saying President Wilson is unable
to demonstrate this.
italian Sacrifice Cited.
Second-The Italian petition for es-
Enlistment of territorial contiguity
with Fiume is a small thing compared
with cession of Dalmatia, which the
world is able to prove by merely ex-
aiming the map Of Europe.
Third-The Allies observe that the
project Of President Wilson, which
comprehends creation of a buffer state,
has been rejected by the Jugo-Slavs.
Fourth-The strip Of territory neces-
sary to establish contiguity of Fiume
with Italy has not sufficient value to
justify procrastination in re%-establish-
ing peace of Europe.
Fifth-Italy entered the war inspired
by ideals at a moment, at least, as
critical as that when the United States
entered. She suffered sacrifices in
blood and money incomparably more
serious than those of the United
States.
Sixth-The President, in threatening
to withdraw his signature from the
treaty of Versailles, which established
the security of France, gravely injuries
the new French policy for which he in
vlted protection. He not only destorys
the value Of his first and most impor-
tant act, but annihilates it, since he
shows engagements contracted in &C.
cord with this policy can be destroyed
lightly.
In drawing up the note, the CORE
spondent says, British delegates pre-
pared the technical form in collabora-
ton with italians, while the political
Il of the document is that Of the
Frenc delegates, who expressed great
sympathy for Italy.
