JUDGE SPEAR SAYS
LEGION SHOULD TAKE
PART IN POLITICS

Judge A. M. Spear of Gardiner was
the speaker at the regular meeting
of George N. Bourque Post, American
Legion, Monday eevning. He told the
boys emphatically that the Legion
should engage in politics. He showed
that political parties have made the
government of the country what it is
and are essential to the life of the
country. He referred to the fact that
war is spoken of as being an abso-
lutely unnecessary evil. He said that
is an evil to be sure. but a necessary
evil and that it will exist as long az
the perversity of man exists. and that
it is worth the price.
The speaker said that every great
movement in the history Of the world
has received its impetus from war.
The war of the Revolution, he said,
was worth while, for the men who
came back from that war are those
who shaped the course and controlled
the destiny of the country for years
afterward and the young men who

Resting Places of Amer
lean Dead in France to
Be Beautiful Spots

Paris, April 9.-No distinctions Of
rank will be made in marking the
graves of American soldiers who died
in France. says Charles S. Pierce,
, chairman of the American commission
which has arrived here to prepare
plans for identifying the four perma-
nent military cemeteries where the
bodies of all the American fighters are
to be gathered.
1--WE shall try to make these Gene
teries memorials of which all Amer.
cans will be proud" said Colonel
Pierce. Early in the discussions we
decided that regardless of rank and
position each grave should be treated
in the same manner and given equal
attention. The only variation per-
mitted will be on the uniform head
stones. On the top of these relatives
may inscribe any religious emblem
they wish so long as it does not in
! terfere with the uniformity of the
stone.
ND special monuments will be per-
mitted. All the Americans died in
the performance of their duty and, no
matter how heroic individuals may
have been, the feeling of the nation
seems to be that all should be accord
ed the same honor.
| 1T Is impossible to say now just
what form the Identification will take
but money will not be spared in making
the cemeteries the most imposing in
the world. Congress has appropriated
$1.000.000 as a preliminary sum for
this work, with promise of more. 1t
is probable that 100000. will be ex-
pended.
THE task Of removing the dead win
be completed by the end of October.
The bodies OF those soldiers who are
~ rest permanently in France will
then be concentrated in the four ceme-
terfes. This work together with the
development work we intend to do,
probably will take one year more"
The commission which ,is an advis-
CRY body to the secretary Of war and
quartermaster general of the United
states Army, is now making surveys
of the American. cemeteries. Later
the commission will formulate plans
! for permanent cemetery for Ameri-
can soldiers In London.

VOlstead Has Bill
Continued from Page One)

There is no sense in allowing large
quantities of liquor to beVmported or
manufactured that if used at all must
, be disposed for illegal purposes
There are about 10000, 900 gallons now
in bonded warehouses. A supply
largely in excess of what can be legi-
timately used for several years.
| In tentative regulations announced
/ last week by prohibition Commission
err Kramer, but which must await ap-
iproval by David H. Blair, the new
commissioner of internal revenue, ar
, arbitrary limit of rs gallons of beer
and three gallons of wine was fixed
as the maximum that might be pre-
scribed by appropriation at any one
time. Mr.. Palmer had ruled that the
/ law fixed no limit.
! Regardless of what Commissioner
! Blair may rule, Mr.. Volstead indicat-
; ed that the prohibition forces in the
House were prepared to take the beer
bull by the horns and let the world
know that there will be no beer. The
bill will be referred to Mr.. Volstead' 4
committee for hearing and report.
! Members opposed to any modifica-
| ton of the dry law said tonight 1t pro-
badly will be reported to the House
substantially as drawn. Here were
predictions from many dry quarters
that its passage was certain.
| After counting noses on the com.
mittee, Mr.. Volstead is strongly OF
the opinion, he said, that there will
/ be no turnback on the question OF
prohibition even in the face of a cry
from many sections that congress give
the proposed beer regulations for the
sick a try out.
The new Volstead bill would close
the gates to importation of liquor and
shut down distilleries until the pres
ent stock of about 100000 gallons
now in bonded warehouses had beer
exhausted. Mr.. VoIstead declared
there was no sense in allowing large
! quantities to be imported or manu-
| featured while there was so much or
hand.
The bill also would impose certain
additional restrictions on the manu-
facture Of alcoholic preparations
"masquerading" as medicines and
tonics, which prohibition leaders as.
sert are drinkable. In support Of this
provision, Mr.. Volstead said, the
bootleg trade was being supplied
through Withdrawals ostensibly TO,
the manufacture of these products.
Still another Tightening up section
would meet the demand from some
quarters that the attorney genera
, should have more direct share In
the enforcement Of the law. AS ex.
planned by Mr.. Volstead, 1t requires
that the attorney general shall have
notice of all applications Tor permits
to sell or manufacture liquor or alco-
holic medicinal preparations and tina,
public notice of the application shall
be posted so that the attorney general
or any person who may have knowl-
edge OF any violations on the part of
the applicant may object to the per-
NIT being granted.
Permits at present, Mr.. Volstead
said, are granted without any notice
to the attorney general, and he has
no opportunity to object to their is
suance. The bill would give the at
torney general power to cancel per
mits for the same reason that the
commissioner of internal revenue is
authorized to cancel.
