WESTERVILLE, o., Jan, 28.-
Twice as much money will be spent
in the first year Of prohibition by the
-Anti-Saloon League Of America as it
spent in the last wet year.
With national prohibition an ac-
complished fact, the Anti-Saloon
League proposes to spend $62,000,-
600 in the next five years. This is
just 100000 more than the total
cost of national prohibition, accord
ing to the leagues figures, for its 25
years fight.
'The prohibition fight did not
cease with the passage Of the amend
ment," Ernest H. Cherrington, execu-
tive committee secretary of the Anti
Saloon League and general secretary
Of the World League Against Alco-
holism, told me.
Roughly we have three duties re-
naming. We must see that the dry
law is enforced in the United States.
We must prevent illicit traffic in Ii
quors from Latin America and must
make the world safe for prohibition
by making the Old World and the
Orient dry"
This vast sum will come from the
same old sources, says Cherrington,
and the league is about to launch an
appeal to church congregations and
dry sympathizers everywhere.
viii Educate Officials.
The leagues campaign of law en-
forcement will require, according to
Cherrington, SIC, 6,235, 900 in the next
five years. This money will be spent
in aiding federal and state officers in
prosecuting liquor-law violators, in
educating public officials until they
recognize whisky-selling is as much a
crime as theft or murder and in
propaganda showing the evils of Ii
quor and the advantage of absolute
law enforcement.
One novel means of propaganda
will require $4,000 year. This will
be spent in spreading prohibition
sentiment among travelling statesmen
that they may in turn spread it
among the business men they meet.
To Invade Latin-America.
"The liquor interests are establish
ing their breweries and distilleries in
Latin-America," says Cherrington.
'They plan to ship liquor into the
United States and to entice citizens
of this country to their strongholds.
For this reason and also because the
20 republics of the western henis-
phere look to the United States as
a pattern of government, the league
will spend $6,860,00 carrying on
dry campaign in Central and South
1 America and the West Indies in the
next five years. This is in addition
to S50,000,000 to be spent in South
America by the churches in mission
ary work. OF course we will coop
crate with these missionary workers.
But not only, say the leaders of
the Anti-Saloon League, must the
entire hemisphere be dry if prohibi-
tion is to be a success in the United
States, but so long as there is liquor
sold in any part of the world prohi-
bition in the United States is men
aced.

"Nanette, Leblanc never intended

her on the shoulder. She looked up at

Hilary looked at her In amazement.
He noticed that Lafe was staring over
the side of the boat, as IL he had not
heard.
"Nanette, If you went home, would

Nanette crouched toward Marie Du-
pont, whose arms stole round her neck,
and the two girls cried and whispered
together. Hilary turned away. He
thought Of Madeleine, and breathed a
prayer that their lives might run to-
gether, and that they might strive to-
gether for the right all their days.
He turned back into the boat. "Now,
Marie, no word of this nights doings
