BOOZE PERMITS
HELD UP HERE
Druggists and Doctors
Want Commissioner to
Grant Licenses.

Delay of prohibition enforcement
officials in naming an assistant pro-
hibition commissioner for the Dis
trict is causing concern among
druggists and physicians who de-
sire liquors for medicinal purposes.
The District comes under the
Jurisdiction of the Baltimore rev.
enue district and provision was
made to have an assistant here in
order to make the necessary in
spections and to furnish informa-
ton for those who are seeking to
obtain liquors for medicinal pur-
poses.
Until this official is appointed for
Washington, it is necessary for
druggists and others seeking infor-
nation on the law to go to Balti-
more.
The branch internal revenue office
here does not have complete infor-
nation. it is said. and only issues
the necessary forms on which those
desiring to sell yhisky may make
application.
The position of assistant prohi-
bition commissioner pays $4,000 a
year. There are said to be only two
candidates for the position.

Referring to Secretary Lanes ia
nous Flag Day speech of 1914, Nc
Brien said the employees owed much
to the Secretary for their under
standing of the flag.
Some of US had thought" he
said. that Betsy Ross, Gen Wash
ington. Robert Morris and George
Ross were the makers of the flag.
But you have taught us that the
people of each generation are the
makers of the flag: that the work
we do is the making of the flag
that the flag is what we make it,
nothing more; that it is our belief
in ourselves. our dreams of what a
people may become: that its stars
and stripes are bright with cheer.
brilliant with courage. and firm
with faith. because We have made
them so out of our hearts.
Secretary Speaks.
This conception of the flag you
have written in our hearts. and we
shall strive to practice 1t in our
lives"

to humanize the department. and at

Destruction of Lusitania
Aroused American Wrath

About p. m. on May Z, 1915, the
great Cunard liner Lusitania, on a
voyage from New York, with 1918
persons on board, was sunk without
notice by the German submarine U-39,
10 miles off Old Head of kinsale. The
vessel went down 81 minutes after the
attack: with resultant loss of 1,154
lives, including men, women and chill
dren, of whom ia were Americans.
The Berlin government at first as.
serted that the Lusitania was. "of
course, armed" and German agents in
New York procured testimony. which
was subsequently proved in court to
have been perjured, to bolster up this
falsehOod.
In further justification, the German
government adduced the fact that the
Lusitania was carrying ammunition,
which, it said. was destined for the
destruction Of brave German soldiers"
This contention our government right
ly swept aside as irrelevant"
