 Act

Washington, Feb. 21-VaHdity of the Federal prohibition constitutional amendment was defended in a brief filed in the Supreme Court by Solicit or General King for the dismissal of proceedings instituted by Rhode Isl- and to test the amendment and en- join it's enforcement.
 Arguments on the motion are ex- pected to be heard next month. The brief said:
 ''The control or the prohibition of the liquor traffic is now conceded to be a legitimate governmental func- ton. It cannot now be maintained that such governmental regulation or prohibition unconstitutionally in- fringes the rights of the individual
 s"The right to prohibit such traf- fic was a part of the governmental powers which the states had when they formed the Constitution of the United States. It is a part of the powers of the states, at that time, reserved to themselves; but it is no more sacred than any power then re- served.
 ''The right of Congress to submit amendments cannot depend upon whether the proposed change is slight or grave.
 ''Every state in the Union is g party to the agreement that what ever change in the Constitution i: proposed by Congress, as prescribed and is adopted by the Legislatures O. three-fourths of their number, shal be thus adjudged to be a proper and needed amendment.

OUR ATTITUDE
 ON CRITICISM
 IS DANGEROUS
Sims Says Government and People Object to Ad-
 verse Comment

Philadelphia Feb. 21-Admiral William Sims, orator at the Univer- sity Day exercises of the University of Pennsylvania today to celebrate the birthday of George Washington, drew lessons from the career of the first president and criticized the tendency of Americans to resent adverse com ment upon military unpreparednesS of the United States.
 'NThe missing element in American isn," said the admiral, 'is that it does not include adequate solicitude for our country. The government and to certain extent our people, resent criticism of anything American. This is a dangerous attitude that has cost us many thousands of lives and many millions in treasure.''
 Admiral Sims, who was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, made a personal reference to himself. After saying his father was a native Pennsylvanian, that his mother was a Canadian and happened to be in Can ada when he was born, he added:
 Perhaps you may be kind enough to consider me also an American, not withstanding the title has been given me by certain unfriendly critics of the Leading British Admiral in the American navy"
 In European countries, Admiral Sims said, the national defense is a live issue.
 'NThe actual condition of the armed forces is so vitally important he said, that any one who can point out a defect, or suggest an improve ment will earn the gratitude of his government. Criticism is recognized so vital to efficiency that it is not welcome but it is invited, and is re- Warded when it proves beneficial. Officers not actually on duty are al liberty to publish any criticism they | please of the actions of the govern, ment or of any of it's departments. Fol example, since signing the armistice 1 books have been published by Ad l mirals Jelicoe, Fisher, Scott ant 1 Bacon, and by Field Marshal French These books contain criticisms of sucf severity as to make any of those whicf have appeared in America seem yer! mild in comparison
 Tn the United States we not onl! neglect to provide for public criti cisms of our officers, but actually for bid it.
 '"The consequence is that th' American people know less about th' 1 elements of warfare and less abou 1 the actual condition of their militar. i forces than the people of any of thu other great powers. Though this ha-
 initiated against our preparedness l for war in the past, and although w have nevertheless always attained ou object in war, without very seriou loss, still it must be evident that
 similar attitude cannot be maintain
 ed in future without serious risks
 The honorary degree of doctor o laws was also conferred upon Pro
 lessor Theodore w. Richards, directo
 of the Wolcott Gibbs Laboratory O
 Harvard University; Justice Edwar
 J. Fox of the Pennsylvania Suprem
 Court, and Judge George B. Orlady c

FEAR BOLSHEvIK GOV vERNMIENT MAY
 WAR ON CHINA
Writer In Chinese Paper Points Out Possibility
 of Strife

Picking, Feb. 21.-Danger that the Bolshevik government of Russia may make war on China is pointed out in the Peking Leader, by B. Lenox- Simpson, writing under the pen name of Putnam Weale. He is the author of several works on China and re- gently was retained by the Chinese government as 'statistician,'' report ing directly to the President.
 MT. Lenox-Simpson says that in theory BoIshevisn could not really declare war upon a -capita1istic country where the millions toll as much as do the Russian millions; but, nevertheless, China finds her border provinces deeply affected be- cause agreements made in years gone by with the government of the late Emperor Nicholas have not been definitely cancelled and also 'sbe- cause Japan is leaving no stone un- turned to inherit those agreements and arrangements.
 The author sees a possible cause for a declaration of war on China by the Bolsheviki in the fact that the old Russian diplomatic and consular establishment in China has been SUD- ported by Chinese funds from the Boxer indemnity account. '1t is quite likely he asserts, ttthat the Russian revolutionary government, as it pene- trates further to the East, will con- sider that this is something more than a unneutral service perhaps 8 casus belli and a reason to strike al the regions of Turkestan.' He pre- diets that Japan will attempt to come l to an arrangeme ment with the Sovie 1 gov ernment of Russia and that '+thi price Japan will ask will have to b. i paid by China unless she act. | quickly''

 Sprinffie1d, Mass, Feb. 21-THe en- tire police detective department is working today to run down the slay- CT of Virginia Walker, 12 years old, who was found dead in a shed be- longing to the Soners Creamery Co. plant, a few hundred yards from her home, shortly after midnight. The child had been assaulted and had been dead several hours when the body was found. She had been sent to the creamery plant at 7:45 o'clock to get cream, and her failure to re- turn led to a search.

Asked why he failed to report this sooner he said he thought the hat belonged to his own daughter and that he did not see the stains on it until later. There were SIX men III the creamery pldhI pe- tween and g o'clock last night, which is believed to cover the time of the murder. but each declared he heard nothing.
 A possible clue is being investigat- ed is that Mrs. Frank Devine on the way to her fathers home, not far from the creamery plant, last night was followed and accosted by young man. She finally cried for help and her brothers came to her aid, where upon the fellow ran away toward the creamery plant
