SCOTCH DRY SPOTS
Five Places Totally Dry As Result of
 Recent Election
By Associated Press

Edinburgh. November 12.-Scotland has at least five dry spots: Kilsyth, San- quhar, Kirkintilloch, Auchterarder and Rutherglen, as the result of the local veto" liquor poll taken this month under the Temperance act
 Two towns, Newport and L.angholni, voted for a limitation in the saloon traffic and the 37 other Scottish localities voted for no change"
 Everywhere the polling caused great excitement, and there was a lively poster campaign. Robert Burns dictum: Free dom and whisky gang together was the slogan of the anti-prohibitionist forces
 In Aberdeen dry placards appeared bearing the words: Hell is the well of whisky" To this, "wet" supporters re- torted with placard inscribed 70 death, where is thy stng?"
 In Glasgow, 24 wards voted "no change" nine for limitation and four for abolition of saloon licenses. As a result, Glasgow's 1894 saloons will be reduced by go and there was much drinking of health to William F. Pussyfoo) John son, the American campaigner, with empty glasses turned down.
 We are not disheartened, said Col onel Kyle, who led the prohibitions at tack 'ft is good work to have abolished 99 saloon licenses in Glasgow. and when we attack again. it will be different
 The people most perturbed are the church leaders. In the light of the re- suits they are asking if the churches have. the influence in national life which they usually claim.
 It will be three years before another poll can be taken Although Glasgow, where the battle ragged most fiercely, re- mains wet, prohibitionsts derive encour- agement from the large number of in7

MISERY IN AUSTRIA
Frenchman Returns and Tells Story of
 Distressing Conditions

Paris, November 10-The misery of Austria's hungry children is told by Pierre Hamp, writing in a Paris weekly. He watched the breadiines before the soup kitchens where American relief agencies are feeding all those under IA years of age.
 At the door each child must show a card and when they leave they are searched, says M. Hamp.
 Because there is not enough for all the hungry to be fed; the children. may not carry away food. Yet the keen in- telngence of the youth sometimes out wits the watchfulness of their elders.
 ITO be sure.'' one of the managers told him, i've should have to undress the children. One little girl put her slices of bread in her stockings. The next week she came with a rag over her cheek, saying she had the toothache. Under the cloth she had lump Of bread"
 Pointing to two little girls. she said

often l must force them to eat. Grief at the thought that thAr mother has nothing kills their appetite. Unless I watch them the bread they leave on the table is taken by others"
 Another little girl, wearing mems shoes in which her feet were lost, tried to crowd in ahead of her turn. Sent back Tn the line, she cried. Asked why, the child explained she was wearing the only shoes in the family. She wanted to hurry back so her brother might have the shoes and come, in his turn, while there still was food.
 They are people" said the manager, whose pride is not yet dead. They would not let their children be seen in the street barefoot"
 As the children pass in line and have their bowls filled with cocoa they begin at once to drink and to eat the white bread. They are too hungry to wait un- til seated

CITES JAP HISTORY
Writer Uses This to Show That Japan
 Is Not Militaristic
Rx Associated Press

Tokio, November 15.-Denying that Japan is miltaristic and inviting foreign critics to study Japanese history to prove the contention, Premier Takashi Hara has
 written an article entitled Japanese National Characteristics as Misunder- stood by the World,'' which is published in the Chuwe, an organ of the Seiyuka' party
 Tt is charged that the Japanese is an
 aggressive race. bellicose and lacking
 in civilization other than the art or war" the premier wrote. This mis- understanding may be attributed to three
 defective points of view. First Jap anese history is disregarded second, Jap anese literature and art are not aside; and third the true conditions of the life of the people have not been studied by the critics
 Japan has no record in her history Of having conquered other races, as every Meij era, especially the Russian war, were simply wars for self-defense against foreign aggression.
 'If Japans history is examined closely. it is rich in records of warfare, to be sure, but it is great mistake to jump at the conclusion that the Japanese reople have been war-like race alto gether, born and reared in the midst of wars. The wars of Japanese historical records have been political wars. In the days before civilization had advanced. political and military wars were en- ployed for the same purpose by all coun-
 tries which are now civilized.
 Japan has never violated international laws or international faith. She has been rather too timid to do so. or too in- experienced for it. In other words, she has not yet been degraded to that extent If there is any fault to be found with the Japanese, it may be. as critics at home tell us, that Japan is too modest and reserved. In respecting interna- tonal obligations and in being loyal to friendly nations there perhaps is no
 country which will surpass Japan. though many nations apply the same principles
 of moral conduct between nations as be- tween individuals.
 ITO be sure, we cannot say that there has been nos scause for misunderstanding
 as regards affairs with China in the past. but that question of the ability of the
 men in power at the time. It was not due to any of the traditional principles of Japan. That the result of the deals with China were not such as section of Americans had understood them to be, | is matter which has now been brought home clearly to the people of the world. Of that l am firmly convinced.

Tomorrow morning the new low prices for the coming year go into effect everywhere in this store It's sweeping reduction that anticipates we believe, every possible drop in wholesale costs during the next twelve months. .s
 Just think of being able to buy almost anything in furn tre NOW, at as low price perhaps even next Juys furniture market may establish Prices may not drop
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-12

as far as we expect Manufacturers insist that there will be no further reduction in wholesale prices. But until that fact is positively assured, lower 1921 prices will prevail
 Rather than wait until any further 'break' in the ke actually comes, before reducing prices have gone ahead in our larger conception of duty to the public and have cut prices far believe they will go during the entire coming year!

Peking, November 6.-General Chang Tso-lin, the military power behind the present administration, has used drastic method to induce the managers of the electric lighting plant to fur nish electric current. When his appn- cation for current for new quarters in the capital evoked the usual reply that it was impossible to accommodate any new subscribers, the general called the manager of the plant to his office and kept him there for three days until he complied with the request.

with his twenty thousand dol

for tho home plant, costing millions
