Bloodjest Chapter in Worlds

Washlngion.- danger TO the
world from bolshevism was never
greater than at the present moment.
The collapse Of the Russian national
forces under General Kolchak in ST.
IBERIA and the retreat Of General Deni-
kine's army from the Moscow front
are regarded in every capital in Eu-
rope and in Washington as constitut-
ing threat OF a possible invasion OF
Europe, a certain penetration by The
bolsheviki in Asia and menace to the
peace Of the entire world.
Even Prince Michael Cantacuzene,
husband Of a granddaughter of Presi-

the United States, while hopeful that
the Russian national forces may still
save themselves confesses that their
plight is desperate unless allied aid
reaches them. "They have no shoes.
no clothes, very little ammunition and
very little food. If the allies wish to
stop the spread of bolsheyism through
ont the world they must come to the
rescue Of Kolchak and Denikine."

tic enough TO advance the opinion that

The word "if" makes all the differ

holshevsm is now riding on the high
tide Of victory and there does not seem
one chance in a million that it will be
confined to Russia. Nearly all Of Asia
is now open to its propaganda. The
defeat of the forces of General Deni-
kline opens the doRr between Moscow
and the Black sea. The connecting
military link between the former Kol-
chalk ana Denikine lines has been OBJ
liberated and nothing remains to pre-
vent the agents of the bolshevists from
moving toward Armenia, Persia, At
ghanistan and India. Agents Of the
Russian reds have already stirred up
considerable trouble among the hill
tribes on the northern confines OF India

Growth of Prohibition Can Be
Traced More Than
Century.
ADVANCE HAS Been STEADY
Moderation Was First Sought, and Not
Until 1e47 Did Demand for Adolf
ton of Strong Liquor Make
Itself Heard.

Chicago Prohibition sentiment, cul-
minating in the epoch-making amend
ment to the federal Constitution, has
been growing steadily in this country
since 1903, according to records com
piled by the board of temperance Of
the Methodist Episcopal church. AT
that time a demand for moderation in
the use of ardent spirits arose, fol-
lowed ten years later by an even
broader movement for abstinence from
ardent spirits and for moderation in
the uSe of malt liquors. This in turn
gave way in 1910 to sentiment Tor fsb-
stinence from all alcoholic beverages.
Agitation for abolition of The prac-
tice Of licensing the sale of liquors
did not come until 1917, resulting four
years later in the enactment of pro-
hibition laws in Maine, the first state

to put prohibition into effect. Kansas

kota third in 1889. Meanwhile the
movement had grown to such proper
tons that the national Prohibition party
was formed at a convention in Chicago
in 1869.

Ant-SaIoon League in 1893.
Another powerful influence in the
fight for prohibition came into exist
ence in 1893 in the formation of the
Anti-Saloon league. 1t is noteworthy
that both these organizations had their
inception in Ohio.
The modern wave of prohibition
legislation began with Georgia in 1907
Since that time, the movement gained
strength more rapidly than any other
reform in the history of the world, so
that 33 states already have prohibition
by state action. in 81 adopted by pop
ular vote and in the others by legiSla-
tive measures. At the time the con-
stitutional amendment was submitted,
"a of the 4S states and considerably
more than half of the territorial Unit
ed States had prohibition. In states
where prohibition was not statewide,
it has been adopted under local option
laws by many communities.
In addition to state laws, there have
been in effect stringent measures
adopted by congress as aids toward
winning the war, which gave a ire
mendous impetus to the prohibition
movement. Studying the examples of
foreign countries, law was passed
making it unlawful to provide any
man in uniform with alcoholic bever-
ages. Making of beer and whisky was
stopped under the food control act and
the sale Of drinks was terminated at
midnight last June 30. Shipment of
liquor into any states was prohibited
by the bone-dry law.
Ratifications Took 10 Months.
The constitutional amendment was
finally adopted by congress on Deem
Der IS, 1917, with restrictive clause,
hitherto unknown in legislative pro-
cedure, that it would be imperative
unless ratified within seven years. The
vote in the house was 2S1 to 12S and
in the senate 65 to 20. The ratification
required only Is months, the thirty
sixth state taking favorable action
January 16, 1919. Frank L. Polk, act
ing secretary of state, proclaimed the
amendment as part of the Constitution
under date of January %, 1919, but
it went into effect one year from the
date of ratification by the thirty-sixth
state.
After that date nine states voted for
ratification, making As in all. Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New Jersey
were the only exceptions.
