representative body of men who served in the war would be wlse. Perhaps there was such time l directly after the men returned from
 France-those who were there, But | that time has passed, It is favorite cry Of ti-prohibitionsts that the
 'drys" took advantage Of the absence
 of the soldier boys" to put some-
 thing over" On the other hand the
 prohibitionists point to arguments
 tending to show that the sentiment Of
 the service men was not against the amendment
 The true situation Is that, what ever was the prevailing feeling among those who served in the forces of this country at the time of the amend ment, that sentiment may have sl- tered in the time that has passed since the war exactly as it is believed the general sentiment of the people of the country may have altered A vote today would tell nothing as to the justice or injustice of the treat ment of the service men at that time. True. 1t would tell how they feel today, but vote by the Amer- ican Legion would give fictitious value to the arguments of the anti prohibitionsts or the prohibitionists, according to the way the vote came out It would be the expression of opinion only of strong organization of men as to whether or not the Vol stead act was a success, but such vote would not be taken thus-it would be taken as the sentiment of the soldiers who had no say in the matter. It would not be expressive of such sentiment as it then was, and it would complicate an already com plicated matter.

country the effects of which would have lasted long Today to fields of suffering and death the Red Cross comes immediately. backed by gem erous and continued support of the American people, Its work is a great work its hands should be free always to respond to the call of the great emergencies.
 As Miss Boardmarf pointed out continued demands by local chapters for funds to carry on local relief work and local peace time services might nullify endeavors to raise funds in these times of great emergency such as the present one In the Near East. Local organizations should do all they can to take care of local suffering without calling on the National insti- tution of the Red Cross. Concerned as We Americans are over the situa- ton in the Near East; greved as we were over tha suffering in Smyrna we, as Americans, feel less unhappy than we would be did we not know that the great American Red Cross was doing work there which Amer jeans would have done. In such emergencies this wonderful organiza- ton goes where we cannot go and does work that we, as individuals cannot do, while here at home are opportunities for all of us. These we should seize.

RED CROSS WORK

Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the American Red Cross, called attention to danger facing that splendid organization which should be guarded against. It Is the danger of spreading its activities, through essentially local work, to the point where it's great world power for help will be handicapped, to say nothing of the possible loss of its charter because of it's interest in matters outside the purpose for which it was formed. .-
 At any time of great disaster or catastrophe, such as war, fire or flood, the American Red Cross be- comes the practical saviour of the suffering people. Without the Amer ican Red Cross there would have been terrible periods of anguish in this

CHAPLIN WINS POINT
secures Injunction Against Picture Which Features An Actor Who Calls Himself Charles Alpin.

Los Angeles, Oct. 12.-A temporary injunction restraining the Western Productions Co, n otion picture con- cern, from exhibiting film which starred Charles Amador under the name of Charles Alpin has been grant cd Charlie Chaplin, motion picture comedian in the superior court here.
 In the film, Amador or Alpin, wore 6 costume much the same as that commonly associated with Chaplin s motion pictures and it was because of this that the latter asked the court for a permanent restraining order. He declared 1t was of utmost importance to him that he have the exclusive right to baggy trousers, over-sized shoes, tight-fitting coat, small derby and bamboo cane.
 Counsel for the defendant asserted the costume was 'old stuff s that Chaplin had borrowed it from var tous actors down through the last half century" and therefore Amador or Alpin has as much right as Chap lin to it.
 The court saw the film and then ls- sued the temporary restraining order pending trial of the sun on it's merits.

New York State Figures Show Deaths
 From Alcoholism Have Doubled in

Albany Oct. 12-An increase in the death rate in New York state for the first seven months of 1922, as com pared with the corresponding period year ago, was announced by the state health department.

An increase was also reported in infant mortality, and a decrease in births amounting to 4,225.
 In a statement from the health de- partment it was said that the rise in the death rate seemed to be account ed for 'by the striking increase in the number of deaths from organic diseases of the heart and arteries" and a failure to maintain the low death rate for tuberculosis which was established last year.
 Deaths from alcoholism showed marked increase this year as compar- ed with the same period last year, numbering 172, as against S3, the re- port set forth
 The greatest increase in deaths from alcoholism was in New York city, the second in the rural sections of the state. and the lowest increase was in upstate cities as group.

It is reported that light wines and beer will be made an issue before the fourth national convention of the American Legion which opens in New Orleans October 16.
