All over India, according to Key.
F. w. Hale, OF the Delhi Social Ser
vice League, evidences may be noted
OF the fact of an awakening to the
consciousness OF the evils inseparable
to the traffic in strong drink.
And there is as surely" he con-
tinues, "a growing determination on
the part of the more thoughtful sec
tons of the community to press with
out more delay for larger and more
effective measures of temperance re-
form. In matters concerning social
service generally, the various new
legislatures are undoubtedly getting
we'll into their stride, and here in par
ticular the pace will be accelerated
ere long, and we shall have in all the
provinces determined attempts made
to repeal the present excise policy of
the government.
an nearly all legislatures resolu-
tons in favor of immediate restrie-
ton, but with Prohibition the final
end in view, have been passed. And,
of course, the Prohibition indicated is
the absolute denial of the right to sell.
There is a difference here, not always
appreciated The right of man TO
drink Intoxicating liquor may not be
challenged. But his right to sell it
o,,I - 81. t.,
tune out of it, or for government to
exploit it as means of revenue
will be!
"And total Prohibition, as we under
stand it and advocate it, is the COM
plete suppression of the sale OF in
toXicating beverages. And the line of
procedure generally indicated and gen
orally favored, as a means to this end,
seems to be local option. A rcsou-
ton in favor of local option was
passed recently in the Punjab legsla-
tive council. A Subcommittee also
was appointed to draw up recommen-
dations with a view to giving the reso-
luton practical effect. Under the
scheme, as finally approved, two-thirds
of the liquor shops in any municipal
area can be closed by simple reso-
luton. For the remaining one-third a
referendum is necessary. And il it
appears that SIS per cent of the regis
tered voters Of the municipality have
voted in favor of total suppression,
the remaining one-third can be closed
also
"The mode of carrying out the ref
crendem is lett to the municipalities.
In the case Of district boards one
half Of the shops may be closed by a
simple resolution. For the remainder
referendum may be applied. The
registered voters.in this way will be
consulted, the district, for the pur-
pose of referendum, being divided into
as many circles as may be deemed
expedient, no unit being larger than
any Tahsil involved
These recommendations were
adopted by the council, and, further,
it was decided that all wine contrac-
tors could be rclea ed from their coil
tracts if they SO desired before their
leases expired.

Gives Praise to Pussyfoot

"In Delhi the visit OF the famous
American temperance reformer, w
E. Johnson, Esq, brought this ques-
ton into more striking prominence,
and those interested in organizing
meetings were more than satisfied
with their result. There were, too,
many other movements and influences
cooperating to this same good end,
and finally the Delhi municipality
frankly came into line with the other
great municipalities in United Prov
inces. AT meeting of the municipal
council note signed by the two vice
presidents and twelve of the commits
sioners was read, as follows:
"The strength of public opinion in
this city in favor of temperance, with
which we are quite in sympathy, i'm

shops within the municipal area be

This was done and it was resolved
that the proposal to close the liquor
shops be approved and submitted to

 ID GET OLD FORT
Chief Justice Taft Expresses His
 Views Before Committee

Washington, Jan. 19. = Historic military reservations no longer need ed by the federal government Should ities desiring to perpetuate them, in preference to being sold to persons likely to devote them to commercial purposes, Chief Justice Taft declared today at a hearing before the house military committee.
 The unusual appearance of chief justice before a congressional com mittee on a subject other than in- volving judicial matters, was in con- nection with bill authorizing the war department to transfer Fort Hale the city of New Haven, Conn.
 Fort Hale, Chief Justice Taft said. Is not only a picturesque spot, ideally located, but is a memorial to the martyrdom of Nathan Hale. It would be deplorable, he declared if such a tract were sold to someone who might erect a dance hall or other amuse- ment place of that type on it.
 The chief justice spoke briefly. He was assured by several members of the commission that they were in sympathy with his views.
 Tn a delegation from New Haven on hand to present arguments in faV- or of the transfer of the two mile tracts were F. s. Nettleton, city en- gineer; Gustave X. Amrhyn, super intendent of parks and Judge J. A. Mcclellan Mathison.

MAY REDUCE COAL
 K. R. RATES FIRST
Also Lower Wage Scale at Mines
 for Better Prices

Washington, Jan. 19.-Should the interstate commerce commission de- eide that rate schedules may proper ly be lowered, the lower rates should be applied first to coal, the commis- sion was told today by J. D. A. Nor row, vice. president of the national coal association.
 The average freight paid on ton of coal at the present time between the mines and points of consumption amounted to $2.27 while the price of the coal at the mine was s2.13 said Mr. Morrow. He estimated that coal rates had advanced from 75 to 200 per cent. according to locality since 1894.
 "We feel that substan0l reduc- tions in bituminous coal freight rates are a prerequisite to the industrial and business revival of the United States, upon which the prosperity of the carriers as well as the nation at large must depend" MT. Morrow de- clared.
 Although the coal producers sin cerely desire the financial position of the railroads upheld. MT. Morrow continued, they recognized the in Hated rates on coal" must come down if costs to the ultimate consumer are to be substantially lowered.
 "It may be urged that lower costs of coal should be obtained by reduc- ing the wage scales at the mines' Mir. Morrow told the commission This is true and we admit that infla tion in the wages of the bltuminous coal mining industry must be read iusted.

OPEN 'EXCHANGES'
 BY SCORE IN CHINA
Crooked Work Makes Foreign
 Authorities Take Notice

Shanghai. Jan. 19.-Efforts of cer- tain Chinese of Shanghai to launch out in imitation of great American wholesale stock and brokerage ex- changes have been fraught with so much financial havoc that not only has the Picking government set about 10 take action, but the foreign police authorities of the International settle ment as well, has begun to show con cern.
 The past year in Shanghai has seen the formation of scores of "eX- changes" ostensibly opened for the purpose of trading, generally in sta pies, but also in every form of com modity. Operating without restraints of any kind, shares stocks and com modities of every sort have been dealt with in the abandon of a get-rich- quick era which now has begun to prove most distressing to many vic tims.
 Portions of a recently issued off, cial Shanghai police report on the situation are given as follows
 "Speculation mania took deep root after the rapid formation of many eX- changes and persons who in their saner moments would never have con sented to part with their cash unless for some safe and profitable invest ment were attracted by the glamor Of large fortunes.
 "On the other hand, not few fam lilies were ruined and cases of suicide and attempted suicide soccurred. The presented a strong tempta- tion to employees in places of trust to make their fortunes by what appear ed to them to be few simple tran sections with the temporary loan of their employers money.
 Numbers of employees absconded after having embezzled sums of mop- cy. A rough estimate of the total amount of money thus reported lost places the figure, well over $ S1,000,000. In addition men who had hitherto been respected for their integrity and as strong financially, disap peared after mourning liabilities they were unable to meet.
 Tt is almost imperative that ac- ton should be taken as soon as pos sible to bring these establishments under control"

had been put forth In their behalf.
 Besides the material help which present conditions necessitate much more than is ordinarily the case, there Is the ever-present obligation laid upon us as Christian workers to help these people morallysand spirit ually, and to establish the children on a firm foundation of character that the coming generation will include many aw-abiding citizens and those of sincere Christian character. As I look over my little group of Sunday school scholars, or visit in their homes my heart aches as think of the heritage that many of them have received from irresponsible parents
 IS Classes Each
 DO you wonder that we feel great obligation laid upon us to help these children in every possible way to build up a stronger Christian char acter? To this end, we hold our thirteen clubs and classes each week, striving through the sewing schools. classes, Junior Achieve ment clubs recreation gatherings, and most of all, through our two Sunday schools, to plant the seeds of self reliance, efficiency, moral responsibli- ty and Christian living. The adults must be reached largely through home visitation, and as far as we can with our limited corps of workers, we are trying to help the parents to de- sire for themselves the spiritual bless ings which we are seeking to infpart- to the children
 Though we cannot report marvel ous changes in lives which have long been lived in ignorance and supersti- tion we do feel that progress is being made and that gradually the word which giveth light is gaining an en- trance into darkened lives and bring ing them to a better understanding of the Christian life"

Contributor to Foundation Fund
 Calls |. Of N. Moral Achievement

Although there is no intention of making a whirlwind canvass for funds for the Woodrow Wilson foundation in this city at the present time, free-wil offerings continue to come into the Commercial Trust company for this fund.
 As an evidence of the sentiments of some local people, former Mayor Joseph M. Halloran yesterday received the following letter, enclosing sub stantial check:
 To one who views the work of Woodrow Wilson from non- partisan viewpoint, it is a pleasure to con- tribute to the foundation after which the former president is named. l send you my contribution, in this free-will offering, realizing that every cent will be spent to perpetuate the ideals which every thinking American, re- gardless of party, cherishes and hopes will be maintained as the standard of the world.
 There was never a better time than right now to judge of the work that has been done by Woodrow Wilson for the cause of international peace and justice. The league of nations, having just passed it's second year with a membership of fifty-one na- tions, is living example of the great est moral achievement of this century.
 It is indeed fitting that Americans should support the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, particularly because this great American will thus be enabled Co see that his countrymen do appre- ciate his great efforts even before he dies
 History will yet present true ac- counting of Woodrow Wilson's work.

Jerusalem, Jan. 19.-1t is estimated here that 100000 Christians have fled from their homes in Cilicia since it became known that France had made a treaty with the Turkish nationalist government at Angora, returning that province to the Turks. Fearing to trust themselves to the mercy of the Turks these refugees decided to live their mother country and seek asy lllm in foreign lands. They flocked to Mersina and other Cilician ports seeking vessels to take them away.
 The Creek government had pro- vided a few ships and these carried thousands of refugees to Greek ports. Many others were transported to coast cities In Syria, Palestine and Egypt. It is understood here that in these latter countries they were re- fused permission to land.
