 800 Davidson Building
 Washington, November 12.-(Spe- cial. )--Much of the latent anlmosIty felt by the Anti-Saloon league and other organizations which>stand spon- sor for prohibition against the Secre- tary of the Treasury. Audrey ". Mel lon, and the internal revenne com missioner, D. H. Blair, came to 4g.ght during the session of the board oS managers of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church, in Wash iRgton this week.
 resolution was adopted heartily indorsing the administration of the federal prohibition unit by Commis- sioner Roy Haynes, and suggesting that he be given full authority over all appointments and policies in con- nection with prohibition enforcement. This was construed as direct thrust at the Secretary of the Treasury. whom prohibitionlsts regard as anti prohibition, and the commissioner ot internal revenue, who. because of his connection with the tobacco business. is thought by prohibitionists neces- sarily to be liberal in his views
 The functions which the Methodist board suggested that Haynes be giv- en are now in charge of the Secretary of the Treasury and the internal reve- nne commissioner.
 The Methodist board adopted res- olution for world wide" circulation that the prohibition law has con tributed to moral welfare and the prosperity of the United States; de- creased drunkardness, decreased crime. relieved poverty, conduced to the efficiency of labor and con tributed to the health, happiness and wealth of the people"

 Montgomery. November 12.-(Spe- cial. )--Ten thousand cases calling for compensation of injured workmen have been reported to the compensa- ton commissioner of Alabama since the workmens compensation law be- came effective January 1, 1920. ac- cording to review of the work made public Saturday by Mrs. Marie B. Owen, compensation commissioner, and director of the state department of archieves and history great 'deercase in the number of accidents during 1921 is shown by a comparison with the number in 1920. In logo re- ports of 7,20O accidents were received while the total to this time of 1921 is 3,200.
 All money paid to injured workmen comes from the treasuries of the eni- ployers of labor and the state is not forced to pay any of 1t. During 1920 there were l35 fatal accidents report ed under the workmen's compensa- tion law. for which dependents of those killed received s44,O00. During the first ten months of 1921 there have been 5S fatal accidents, the de- pendents receiving s26,00O.
 Purpose of Law.
 "The purpose of the Alabama coIu- pensation law" says Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owen, commissioner, lis to protect the injured employe from in- justice at the hands of an unscrupu lous employer on the one hand, and to protect the employer against the long existing abuse of the 'ambu- lance chaser and the workman who malingers. The law as passed Is ad- mirably serving both of these pur- poses. The first task of the commits sioner under the law was to work out a system of blanks on which the employers should make an initial re- portsof accidents, followed by sup plemental report of the progress of the patient, and thirdly, a final set tlement- receipt"
 All corporations or companies oper- fAting in Alabama and employing 16 persons or more, automatically come under the workmen's compensation act. Any employer of labor who has less than Is persons working for him can elect to come under the law and must record his election with the pro- bate judge of the county in which he operates.

Wilson met with . harder fate, singularly aggravated by his Illness which for more than six months isolated him physically and intellectually from his country and the rest of the world. A campaign lacking strong opposition succeeded in wrecking the work of unity he had accomplished in Paris.
 Takes Precautions
 France from the point of view of her own Interests, which no one can reproach her for holding dear. de- 'plored this and deplores it still, but 1t was not in her power to prevent 1t. All she could do was to take pre- cautions and guarantees against this risk which had been present from the very first in the minds of her nego- tiators This she did by obtaining the addition of the final paragraph to Article 429 on the importance or which l have laid such stress. The future rests with the government of the United States. and with it alone. in the exercise of its national sovereignty. We know what we wish may be the outcome for the sake of the peace of the world in which France more than anyone else is interested. But in case the hoped for assistance fails us, we shall have to remain on the Rhine and. in the absence of undertakings now pending as by virtue of the treaty of Yer sailles for the common good of all. mount guard for liberty.
