Anti-Sa!oon League in statement Is
sued here today at the Leagues nat

Government Should Purchase
Whiskey.
1.-THE government of the Unlteo
States should purchase that whiskey
at a price to be fixed by federal
commission which price should repre-
sent the actual cost Of producing 1t.
Upon purchasing the whiskey the
government should convert it prompt
ly into denatured alcohol for which
there is an ever increasing demand.
"By such an arrangement, the dis
tillers will get all they actually have
invested in the whiskey. The great
est temptation to break the prohlbl-
tory law will be removed. The in
centive to spend vast sums. of money
to secure repeal of prohibition or
serious modification Of the law Will
be eliminated; the government will
be able to realize almost as much
from the sale of the whiskey in the
form of denatured alcohol as the whls-
kew will cost the government, and the
public will be the gamer in every
way. It will require less effort and
expense to enforce the law"
1t was said the Anti-Saloon League
may ask congress for legislation

M'ADOO ADVISES
BIG REDUCTION
IN 1920 TAXES

Washington, March 8.-An i'm
mediate billion dollars reduction in
federal taxes was suggested in a
statement issued here by William G..
McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury. The present tax burden is
too great, he said, and is "having an
injurious effect on business"
Mr.. McAdoo proposed that collec-
tion of tax to establish a sinking
fund for retirment Of the war debt
which was recommended by former
Secretary Glass to begin with the
fiscal year, 1920, be postponed for
two years, and that the deferred pay
ments of European interest be fund
ed until Europe is in position to pay
its interest charges.
"The financial policies of the ma
tion as embodied in future congress
sionsl legislation" said Mr.. McAdoo,
"shouul realize the utmost economy
in expenditure and might we'll fund
in long term bonds $1,000,000,00
per annum for two years of the
amount now raised by taxation.
"Under laws tax to establish a l
per cent sinking fund to retire bonds
now outstanding is to be collected
beginning with the fiscal year 1920.
This might well be postponed for at
least two years and thus reduce the
tax burden by s25O,O0O,OOO annual

now amounts to about ten billion

Bedtime Stories
The Merry Little Breeze Does His Best
By Thornton w. Burgess
Who does his best does all he can,
Be he Chipmrnk Mouse
STRIPED Chipmunk
By Thornton w. Burgess

The Merry Little Breeze hurried
away with Striped Chipmunk's message
for Peter Rabbit. First, he went
straight to the dear Old Briar-patch.
Peter wasn't there, but little Mrs.
Peter was. She looked so worried that
the Merry Little Breeze hastened to
tell her the good news that her lost
little son was quite safe in the old
stone wall and that Striped Chipmunk
was keeping watchful eye on him.
Little Mrs. Peter wanted to hasten
over there at once, but she didn't dare
leave the rest Of her family. The
Merry Little Breeze told her not to
worry; he would look for Peter and
was sure it wouldn't take long to find
him. Then he bade her goodby and
Rabbit.
Now the Merry Little Breezes of Old
Mother West. Wind are among Peters
him and his ways. So this particular
Little Breeze had no doubt at all that
he would soon find Peter. But he
didn't. He hunted everywhere. He
visited the Green Forest and peeped
into every bramble-ta -tangle he could re-
member: He raced up to the Old Pas
ture and along every little path there,
put no Peter. He went down to the
Smiling Pool and up to the Old
Orchard. Everywhere he inquired for
Peter and found that Peter had been
there, but had left, and no one knew
where he had gone.
Of course every one was curious to
know why, he was so anxious to yS1d
Peter Rabbit, but the Merry Little
Breeze wouldn't tell. In the first place,
he wanted to be the first to tell Peter
the good news that his lost little SON
was safe. In the second place, he knew
that the fewer who knew where that
little Rabbit was the better it would
be for him. So the Merry Little Breeze
kept his secret and hunted and hunted
and grow more and more discouraged
Finally, he began to fear that some
thing. dreadful had happened to Peter,
and that was the reason he wasn't to be
found.
At last, jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun
prepared to 60 to bed behind the
Purple Hills, and the Black Shadows
started creeping out across the Green
Meadows. Then came Old MC<,cr West

Now, where do you think Peter Rab-
bit was all this time? He was hidden
in hollow log in the Green. Forest
and he was sound asleep. You see
Peter had hunted and hunted for that
lost little son until his feet ached and
he was SO tired he could hardly hop.
When he reached that hollow log he
just had to rest. So he crept inside, in
tending to stay only few minutes.
Right away he went to sleep and he
was 80 tired that he slept and slept
And that is where he was and what he
was doing when the Merry Little
Breeze was trying so hard to find him.

Of France In accuse in which it was
not interested, was vastly abhorrent
to them"
Martens Horrified, She Says
These statements, she explained,
were made through an interpreter,
whom the investigating committee took
along. The interpreters name was Of
no Importance, she said, nor was that
of the woman who had received the
original letter of protest. The i'm
portant thing was to find out by what
authority the American Red Cross
seized these children, lugged them
around the world and purposed to de-
tain them in France5
last, she had put to various Red Cross
officials, she said, receiving merely the
reply that they did not know what
treatment the children might receive
if sent direct to Petrograd before the
whereabouts Of their surviving rela-
tives was discovered and that they
were to be kept in France while the
search went ON, because the parents
of many of them were refugees in that
country.
Miss Todd said that Mr.. Martens,
who was Mortified at the handed,
heartless conduct of the American Red
Cross, had assured her that the chill
dren would receive every care and at
tention in Petrograd. Her organiza-
tion, she said, had retained the law
firm of Nelles, Hale & Shaw to see
what could be done about it and had
sent kilograms of protest to every Red
Cross official they could think Of.
The messages were signed, she said,
by the New York Socialist Party, the
World War Vetrans, the Amalgamated
Textile Workers, the Brotherhood of
Railway and Steamship Clerks and
Freight HaHdlers, the New York Har-
Dor District Council, the Telegraphers
Union, the Bookkeepers. Stenographers
and Accountants Union, the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees, the Capmakers'
Union, the Farmer-Labor party, the
