NEW YORK DRINK RECORD
RETURNING TO OLD LEVEL
Number of Cases at Bellevue for
Alcoholic Treatment Virtually
at Pre-Prohibition Mark.

NEW YORK. August 1s-The nun
Der of cases for alcoholic treatme Mt
in the Bellevue Hospital has in
creased within the past few weeks
until it is virtually equal to that of
pre- prohibition days. according to a
report of Bird S. Coler, commissioner
of public charities, made public today.
The difference between now and
former times. however. he said, is in
the symptoms of the ailment and the
manner of treatment.
Most of the patients" he said. ''go
down in a hurry, without warning, and
recover quickly-if at all. In nearly
every case it is discovered that the per-
son has had only one or two drinks,
after which his mind becomes blank He
knows nothing until he awakens in the
institution the next morning"
''If Bellevue physicians know where
whisky can be purchased let them tell
me-" was the only comment made by
James S. Shevlin. supervising prohibit
ton inspector, who returned last night
from Washington, where he conferred
with National Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer regarding clamping down the
lid on Withdrawals of whisky from bond
He predicted that restriction. on
whisky Withdrawals would SEND prices
of illicit liquor scampering upward from
the unofficial quotation of rs cents a
drink.

years since the beginning of the Ameri-

States had been engaged in civil or for
elsn wars for about thirty-seven years.
Parallel IA History Noted.
If those episodes in our history be
counted as war in which the public mill
tary power was necessary to be eXerted,
thus bringing into account minor wars
and serious domestic disturbances, we
ind that out of 145 years of our national
existence only forty-five have been years
OF peace and 100 have been years of mil
ltary eXertion," he added THE history
of all great civilized powers parallels
our own"
IF we do not go into the league of
nations, We must continue to arm" the
war Secretary declared. IF we are to
play lone hand it must be a strong
hand. We will be but one competitor in
a universal race for armed supremacy:

acceptable, but added that if 100000
was produced he thought Ponzi could
gain freedom on all the counts OF
larceny now standing against him
There are fifty-six of these, each
based on a distinct complaint.
1t was expected today that PonZl
would leave the Jail for a time to-
morrow to undergo arraignment in
the federal court on the charge that
he used the malls in a scheme to de-
fraud.
Bars Certain Depositors.
Gov. Coolidge today announced that
he would refuse to approve as a state
depository any bank which continues
State Treasurer Fred J. Burrell as it's
advertising agent. The governors an
nouncement came as a result of the
discovery in connection with the col
lapse of Charles PonZi's financial
scheme that state funds amounting to
$125,000 were tied up by the closing of
the Hanover Trust Company. Ponzi's
principal depositary, for which Bur-
relPs agency placed the advertising.
Gov. Coolidge in his statement said
he was not criticising either the
treasurer or the banks which have re-
tanned him for their advertising work.
But I do not want to be responsible
in any way for that method of doing
the states business" he said. adding
that the practice was one which must
be discontinued, so far as he had the
power to approve or disapprove it.
Treasurer Burrell later announced
that he had been working for some
weeks on a plan to divorce himself
from his advertising business. 1t will
take a little time. he said, but he ex-
poets soon to devote himself exclu-
sively to his duties as state treasurer

HUNGARY FEARS REDS.
Pole Collapse European Catas.
trophe, Says Admiral Horthy.

BUDAPEST, August 1.-Hungary's
statesmen are fearful of the conse-
quences if the bolsheviki crush Po-
land. Admiral Nicholas Horthy, re-
gent of Hungary. when seen at his
palace Office by the Associated Press
correspondent, said on that subject:
Should Poland collapse Europe
would have to face a serious crisis,
since all international order and
standing power of central Europe has
been shaken by the breakdown after
five years of war and by the crush
ing peace treaty in addition to other
evils in the wake of the war. The
treaties dictated by the allies could
not create order and tranquility, but
on the contrary all our evils grew
more acute and the painful old prob
lens, many on the way to solution,
face US grimly like as many sphinxes
Central Europe is a volcano after the
eruption, still covered with smoke,
and we cannot see any reassuring
sign as yet to avert dangers lurking
in the future"
