Widely Different
Celebrations in n. Y.

New York. Jan. 16-Demon rum was
declared an outlaw in New York at
midnight tonight and the declaration
was received in two widely different
modes By New Workers. While many
thousands gathered in the churches Of
the metropolis to greet with prayer and
praise the official passing of Demon
Rum. many more thousands observed
the passing in a desperate attempt to
consume as much Of the liquor as their
systems would contain.
Scenes of revelry in New York's IA
nous white light district surpassed by
common consent anything previously
known in the city. In every cafe. res
taurant and hotel in the BRILLIANTLY
lighted heart of Manhattan. "mourners'
gathered for the wake in a spirit Of
hilarity that ought to have made the
corpse wonder IL it was not a christen-
ing instead of a funeral. The evidences
of mourning seemed to be entirely con-
fired to the numerous coftirs which dec
Grated the centers of most cafes and
restaurants. These ranged from an
elaborate silver and ebony casket,
which held the middle of the stage in
one of the widely known White Light
restaurants. to modest empromptu black
caskets which were hastily constructed
from soap boxes.

Pacific Shipping
Frauds Belittled
by Chairman Payne

: Washington, Jan. 16.-Belief that
no large sum of money is involved
in suspected frauds in several Pa
cific coast ship yards was expected
tonight by Chairman Payne of the
shipping board. in giving out cor
respondence relating to the cases.
The department of justice. Chair
man F;Sc ne explained, asked the ship
ping board in November to suspend
payments to builders on all ship con-
tracts cancelled. This was done by
the board December 2. The ground
for the request, as stated in the cor
respondence. was that the secret SER
vice agents considered there was
possibility that claims against the
government based on the cancella-
tons We're padded" Only yards in
the north Pacific district, including
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, having
cancelled contracts, were included in
the boards order and Chairman
Payne explained that no evidence Of
fraud against any of the concerns
had been brought to the attention of
the board. The total amount of cam
collation. claims filed was very small.
he said. compared with the $737,0O0,-
600 in ship contracts placed on the
Pacific coast by the board.

had nothing in common ana were
constantly at war with each other.
They were later welded into one
country.
Italy did not enter the war when
France and England did because It
was a member of the Triple Alliance,
the speaker pointed out. and then
explained about this alliance. Italy
later entered the war and had an
abundance Of men, but lacked ammu-
milton. supplies and experience in
machine warfare. The Disaster OF
Caporetta was shown by the speaker.
Later on. John l.. Mott head OF
the ~" men. arranged to have the
"Y" men 90 into Italy to build up
the morale Of the Italian soldiers.
These men were determined to do
something to make the life Of the
Italian soldier pleasant. and the
speaker told how these men accom-
plished their object by visiting the
soldiers at the active batteries, by
giving away smokes" to the men.
and by conducting the "" houses
where the soldiers gathered for So
cial amusement, musical evenings,
dramaticS, etc.
Many interesting customers OF the
Italian people were spoken Of by Mr..
Holway. 1t is not an unusual sight
there to see many women shoveling
gravel on the roads in that country.
Italy is largely agricultural and. is
greatly handicapped as nation by
the scarcity of coal and iron. There
is, however, an abundance of cheap
labor there.
At the conclusion Of his address.
Mr.. Holway answered many ques-
tons regarding his subject, and the
meeting was declared adjourned.
