The English are reserved and hard
tc get next to in public places and
away from their homes, but truly an
Englishman's house is his castle, and
once you are his guest in his house
all reserve is cast aside and he be-
comes prince of good fellows. We,
Americans, who have been so FORUM
ate as to have fought on the battle
fields of France and Belgium along
with the British Tommie, and especi-
ally those of US who spent months
the past spring and summer in Eng
land can never forget the whole
souled hospitality which was given us
everywhere by everybody from the
royalty to the navy. Our misconcep-
tion of the Englishman as monocled,
chesty, idiotic-looking, being has been
completely destroyed and instead we
see only the finest of Anglo-Saxon,
democratic almost to an extreme,
apreciative, patriotic and honorable
comrade, whose friendship we should
value above that of any other people

FRUIT JUICES
COME UNDER BAN

| Washington, Jan. 14.-Prohibitior
Commissioner Kramer has ruled that
fruit juices and elders come within
the dry ban if they contain more
than one-half of 1 per cent alcohol
The commissioners Interpretation OF
the law was set forth today in a
memorandum charging prohibition
directors and inspectors with the adj
ded duty of examining the alcoholic
content of such beverages.
Officials, in discussing the ruling
asserted that such a step could not
be taken under war time prohibition
nor was it enforceable under the pro-
hibition laws of most of the states.
Hitherto, the bureau of internal rev.
enue was held fast to the policy )f
assessing taxes against fermented
liquors containing more than one
half of 1 per cent alcohol, but, ac-
tually, the regulations could not be
applied to elders and fruit juices be-
cause of the technical language of
the law, it was said.
Strict enforcement of the regula-
ton will hold liable dealers in fruit
juices and elders in which the alco-
holic contents increases evea while
in storage. The department Il {, not
intend, however, to guagt al bevcr-
ages thus produced, officials said,
but a "watchful eye" woa..i /, kept
on these manufacturers an. dealers.
Natural fermentation will offer no
excuse for evasion of the regulation
it was declared.
Employment of a force CT $500
watchmen to guard $4,000, 600 ;sal-
Ions of liquor held in government
bonded warehouses is planned by
the internal revenue bureau to llo-
,tect the liquor against theft, which
is occurring daily, Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer today told the
house appropriations committee. He
asked that congress make s2,00O.-
600 available Immediately for esta-
blishing the guard.
No plan for the final disposition of
the liquor has been determined on by
the bureau, Mr.. Kramer told the
committee.

NIT Carter Glass, the new senator
from Virginia, to vote but later this
action was reversed.
Had Mr.. Glass been permitted to
vote, Senator Underwood would have
won by one vote. Senator Glass has
not yet taken his seat in the senate
although his credentials have been
presented.
The Underwood forces cited prece-
dents for letting Mr.. Glass vote, but
in the end the caucus refused to al
low this.

from the first developed into a bit
ter fight with Mr.. Glass and his vote
the storm center.

SENATE COMMITTEE
HEARING OF MEXICO

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. H.
Stories of cruelty, murder an de-
vastation of properties were glver
the senate subcommittee Investigate
ing the Mexican situation today by
T. M. McBee, a cattle man from q
border town; James ]. Britt, law,
yer from Tampico, and George E
! Blalock. a grocerymen, here.
Britt, who reminded the commit
tee that he is not employed by any
oil company, asserted that American
life was worth more in the Argonne
than it is today in the country about
Tampico." He entered the United
States only two days ago. He is one
of the men who assisted in caring
for the bodies of F. ]. Roney and
Earl Boles, who were killed Decem-
ber 80.
Britt told the committee that he
had stood guard over the bodies un-
til the autopsy could be held. eve
had one experience of neglecting
that phase of such case," he said,
i"when James Wallace was shot,
know for a fact that he was not .
drinking man, and yet the claim set
up by the Mexicans was that he was
drunk. And this is what had happen
ed. They had poured teuquila into
his mouth and over his face after he
was dead in order that the odor
might support their claim"
Britt said that it was his opinion
that foreigners who own oil inter-
ests in Mexico should get out if they
were unable to obtain protection.
McBee told of the killing of Lee
Sharp and Clarence Sellers, saying it
was the belief among people on the
border that both had been dragged
by mounted men until dead; He said
no one had been arrested. The story
of the disappearance. of the "Bla-
lock colony" was told by G. E. Bla-
lock, it's founder. He told the COM
mittee it once comprised about 100
families, all Oklahoma farmers, who
left Mexico in 1914 after living
there since 1908.
Telling of five murders of Ameri:
cans he said no one had ever been
put to death for the crimes.
