LIQUOR FLOWS FREE
AT BIRTH OF YEAR

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The good
ship 1921 slid off the ways here
christened as good ships should be
with a liberal douslng of stimulat-
ing drink.
Prohibition was about the only
absentee at the great ways cele-
bration. The only indication that
this is a dry land was the method
OF serving drinks, and the first aid
stations established for possible un-
fortunates who found their drinks
laden with wood alcohol.
With the roistering, hip-pocket
celebration safely staged, the city
slipped back into ultra-Sabbath
calm Saturday Places of amuse-
ment were open but the patrons
were exceedingly decorous, head
acheally, perhaps, but quiet never
theless.
Dry agents and anti-saloon work
ers gave no indication tonight of
complaining against the width of
the Chasm which was cracked in the
aridity of the city Saturday night.

More Earthquakes
Coming in Wake of
Last, Scientist Idea

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-Prof. Weichert,
of the Seismological Institute of
Goettingen University, and Prof,
Schneydar, head seismologist of
Potsdam Geodetic Institute, two
leading German earthquake experts,
have issued warnings to the public
to be prepared for a series of con-
siderable shocks in the wake OF the
great earthquake that shook China
on December 16.
Professor Schneydar, in a talk
with your correspondent, pointed out
that the earth's shell, owing to con-
ditions OF unequal tension, is usually
loaded, as IL were, with a number
of earthquake possibilities and even
the Chinese disturbance may con-
tribute to release several other
shakes before their time.
Weichert, in a message, takes the
same view, and says the secondary
earthquakes may follow even weeks
later and occur at distances OF
thousands of kilometers or more
from the original disturbance. The
Argentine earthquakes, however
probably are quite Independent of
the Chinese disturbances. being
simply ono of 200 or more earth
quake shocks registered normally by
the Goettingen seismograph every
year
Professor Weichert and Schneydar
agree that the earthquake on De-
cember 16, which centered in Chinese
territory. north of the Himalayas,
was one of the heaviest for some
time, and probably indicates a crack
in the subterranean strata several
hundred kilometers long The seis-
mograph at Goettingen, though 1900
kllometers from the center of the
disturbance, registered the move
ment of the full centimeter.

WILL REVISE TREATY SO As
TO GIVE TURKEY MORE LAND

LONDON. Feb. 21.-Revision of
the treaty of Sevres, SO as TO give
Turkey additional territory in
Thrace. now occupied by Greeks.
was decided upon by Mr.. Lloyd
George and NJ BRAND today in con-
clusion preceding the near east con-
ference. This decision. before be-

val of the allied colleagues of the
French premier and British prime
minister.
According to NthiS Franco British
agreement the frontier line in Thrace
will be moved westward extending
from Enos on the Aegean to Militia
on the Black Sea. This would take
from Greece one-fourth of the terri
tory she now occupied there, and
add it to the Constantinopie dis

ment are to be allowed representa-
tion on the internal commission con-
trolling Constantinople.
