the prohibition department to make
the rules affecting prescriptions in
general more elastic, will in a short
time destroy the effect of the Volstead
act. Some have gone so far as TO
predict that it will not be long until
beer and wine are dispensed by the
glass at soda fountains. The same
authorities also predict that while the
result will be temporary success for
the liquor forces ii will end in national
reversion to prohibition OF drastic
sort.
Several judicial decisions have re-
Gently been entered against search and
seizure of intoXicants in private homes
and temporary places of residence.
The Supreme court suit which attacks
the validity of the prohibition amend
ment Is based on the section which
makes 1t imperative unless ratified
within seven years. 1t is the conten-
ton that the section violates article )
of the Constitution which gives CON
gress no power to impose limit on
ratification cor to otherwise ATTEMPT
To control what the legislatures of the
states shall do in their deliberations"
The provision attacked was offered by
former Senator Harding when the pro-
hibitlon amendment was being pro-
posed In the senate. He Is quoted as
having stated at the time (Aug. /,
1910 that he offered the provision in
order to speed action on the amend
ment and place limit on the time
various states could keep it pending.
The American Legion is stirred up
over the conviction and sentencing to
terms in German jalls of Sergeants
Carl Neat and Fred thinner, members
of the American forces on the Rhine,
who attempted to apprehend Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, convicted Amerl-
can Stacker. Neat was sentenced to
10 months imprisonment and thinner
six. The national legislative commit
tee of the Legion has addressed let
ter to the secretary of war requesting
that the United States government
take steps to procure from Germany
the return of Bergdoll to this country
and the release Of the Sergeants. The
letter Is quite severe in its terms and
among other things states that "the
Bergdoll case as ii now stands is Il
disgrace to the government and n cruel
and undaserved insult to the 5,0Oo0O0
men who served America in the World
war"

Ship Builders
Optimistic ON
Future Trade
Sentiment Abroad Changing
Rapidly. RobertHaig Says;
/. Europeans Believe Bottom
of Depression Is Reached
Passenger Lines Active
Shipping Companies Expect
Next Year to Set Record
in Traffic for Europe

Optimism among foreign shipbuild-
ers is increasing steadily and the
sentiment to-day is entirely different
from six months ago. according to
Robert Haig, vice president of the
Sun Shipbuilding Company, who has
Just returned from an extensive tour
of England. Germany, Sweden and
Norway. His remarks were made be-
fore the monthly meeting of the Della
ware River section of the Atlantic
Coast Shiphulders' Association in
Philadelphia, and are distributed to
members of the association by its
secretary. Clarence S. King.
Mr.. Haig made a careful study of
conditions affecting shipbuilding and
engineering industries and said upon
his return that foreign shipping men
believe the most serious of world
troubles are at an end and the large
crops this year will give an appreciable
impetus to the carrying trade.
"The attitude of the typical foreign
shipowner was expressed by one man
in this way" said Mr.. Haig. "He said
that shipping was far from being in
an unsound condition and although he
had an excess of tonnage on hand, it
have requj-ed under normal condi-
the Interruptions caused by war. He
pointed out that the crux of the mat
ter is that the purchasing capacity of
the individual trader had practically
been destroyed throughout the larger
part of Europe, and until the mer-
chant is able to revive his business
and establish credits sufficiently elias
tic TO carry on the worlds industry,
very slow progress will be made
toward general recovery in the ship
ping business. The same opinion was
voiced from various quarters in Ger
many, Norway and Sweden
Remarking upon the lack of unem-
ployment in Germany, Mr.. Haig said,
shipbuilders there say they have or
ders running until the end of 1923, brt
that the exchange situation, with a
threat of financial collapse, is causing
uneasiness.
Referring to conditions in England,
Mr.. Haig found shipbuilders and ship
owners still endeavoring to adjust
themselves to new industrial en-
vironment, but he said, it was signif-
cant that the large passenger lines are
going ahead with their plans in antici
patton of better times.
while was there" he said, "the
Cunard Line had started work on two
or three large mail boats now in
course of construction, upon which
work had been suspended indefinitely,
and orders had been given to bring
hem to completion at the earliest pos
sible date without overtime, 1t is be-
lieved these preparations are being
made in anticipation of western
passenger travel in 1922. which from
all accounts probably will be the larg
est ever known, and English shipping
men say that whep passenger travel
is heavy good business is almost sure
