Prohibition officials will go before
Congress at Its next session to ASH
for more stringent provisions In the

Van Buren. head OF the legal depart
, ment Of the prohibition bureau here
announced today.
1t was indicated that officials ano
friends Of prohibition are stirred over
the difficulties encountered during the
first year of prohibition enforcement
Van Buren stated that 1t is not
case of blocking UP loopholes, but
"there sNe certain measures which
would aid greatly in enforcing the
law" which 1t Is intended to recon-
mend to Congress.
"As a matter Of fact" Van Buren
continued. conditions in the enforce
ment Of the law have been greatly
improved all over the country since
the Supreme Court decision. OF
course. there have been out-croppings
here and there, but we are doing all
we can. The fact that the courts are
not in session now affects the situa-
ton somewhat, but we regard conoi-
tions as much better
From other sources there have been
indications that difficulties in the
way OF NdFlOuS dB CISiSo Shoi w 49,
enforcing the prohibition law are In
creasinR. 1t was stated that all these
agencies are cooperating as far as
possible. The appropriations place
the burden on the Treasury Depart
ment, OF which the prohibition en-
forcement bureau is subordinate
part, and accordingly other depart.
ments are not directly concerned. The
Department of Justice has not beer
called on yet, 1t was stated today
1t was reported this step might bt
necessary, owing to the shortage ir
personnel in other departments, but
it Is also known the Department oi
Justice Is handicapped in its owr
work In this respect.
Van Burean would not denne al

desired. stating they were still under

GAS CO. WANTS
MORE MONEY
Extension Of Present High Rate
Period Urged in Petition
to Commission.
WANTS 7 PER CENT RETURN
Present Tariff Expires Sept. !,
and Price Would Drop Unless
Officials Act.

Sixty days extension Of the pres
ent high gas rates, from September
/ to November 1, will be asked by
the Washington Gas Light Company
in a petition to be filed with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission this after
noon.
The company will also present ex-
hibits designed to show the neces-
sity for an increase over the present
rates and will further petition the
commission to increase rates if men,
bers of the commission think the fig
ures justify a price boost.
COSTS HAVE GONE UP.
|. 1--WE are trying to be fait and
square with the public. said Howard
Reeside. president of the company to-
day. 'sThe cost of oil and coal has
gone sky high.
I'VE are showing the commission
how much Of an increase is needed
in order for the company to earn a
fair return of Z per cent on its valu-
alton. If the commission does not
think our figures Justify a rate in
crease then we ask a sixty days con-
tinuation Of the present rates
BY order Of the Public Utilities
Commission the present rates auto
matically expire on September 1. and
the new rate from that time on, un-
less otherwise ordered by the COM
mission, is 95 cents. However, there
Is no chance Of returning at this time
to the 95-cent charge.
The present rates are for 100, 600
cubic feet or less, $1.25 per thousand
cubic feet; fos 100000 to 300. 900
cubic feet, $1.20: for 800, 900 to 500, 900,
$1.15; for 500, 900 to $4,000, $1.10: for
$50, 900 to 1000, 900, $1.05 and more
than 1,oOO. 900, 81 per thousand cubic
feet.
AVERAGE COST is s1.20.
The majority of the gas consumers
use less than 100. 900 cubic feet, and
the average rate charged by the COM
pany is $1.2O per thousand cubic feet.
Oil now costs 12+ cents per gallon
compared to 6 cents per gallon. the
cost six months ago. Every increase
OF one cent in the cost of oil means
an increase of 4 cents in the manu-
facture of gas, according to company
officials.
Announcement of the new freight
rates means an addition of 100000
to the yearly cost of coal.

According to the Petit Journal, the
allies will favor the enrolment of
former allied soldiers in the Polish
army as volunteers. The allies are
particularly anxious to bolster up
the air and artillery branches of the
Polish army.
Great Britain and France have de-
cided not to appeal to the League of
Nations as in behalf of Poland on
account of the inability Of the League
to take any decisive action.
"U. s. AGAINST POLAND.-

has refused 70 give out the text Or
make any comment, while press cable
grams from Washington said that no

against Poland" was the headline used
by the Matin upon its story Of the

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Archbishop
Daniel ]. Mannix, of Melbourne, who
was taken from the liner Baltic by a
British destroyer and landed at
Penzance to forestall his contem-
plated visit to Ireland, arrived from
Penzance this morning.
THAT was probably the finest vic
tory for the British navy since the
Battle of Jutland," declared the
archbishop. He denied that any
political significance could be at.
tached to his desire to visit Ireland
his old home. =
FEW TO MEET PRELATE.
As the archbishcp's friends did moi
know the exact hour OF his arrival
from Penzance. there was only a
handful of people, including a soli-
tary priest. at the railway station.
Archbishop Mannix and the Rev
Father Vaughan wandered about the
station for some time before they
found the taxicab stand. Then they
went to st. Mary's college, Hammer
smith. a Roman Catholic institution
Some of the priests at st. Marys
College had been colleagues of Arch
bishop Mannix at Maynooth.
When the college was reached
there was further delay as the
fathers evidently were not expecting
visitors. For nearly ten minutes the
Australian archbishop and the Rev.
Father Vaughan stood upon the steps
in front of the building alternately
pressing the door bell and chatting
together.
"I have no grudge against the
British government nor against any
person." declared Archbishop Mannix,
while waiting for some one to open
thu college door. Naturally 1 was
disappointed at not being allowed to
visit Ireland, for 1 had set my heart
on visiting my relatives whom l had
not seen for long while.
"I cannot say anything about the
future now. for l had no other plarS
than this visit to my home folks when
came to Great Britain"
