"l,ay the proposed ship subsidy 70

Tho new subsidy idea has been
favonhly received by several mem.

II Is proposed 10 operate the sub
tidy for American seamen IN eonnec-
tion with the Ia Toilette seamen's

wages are lower. In addition. they
object 20 tho provision OF the Ia

ONLY ONE WOMAN OUT OF
THIRTY FAVORED PROHIBITION

New York, Feb 1o.-One woman OUT
of more than thirty stood up today at q
meeting of the woman's Democratic club
when the chairman called for q rising
vote Of those IN favor Of prohibition.
The vote followed an attack on tho
Volstead law by Miss Elizabeth Mar
bury, only woman member in this state
of the democratic nationals committee,
She declared that It was her belief that
the prohibition laws would never be OBJ
served and that fully so per cent Of tho
people of New York city violated the
Volstead law continually.
I'VE women" she said, would never
advocate the return of the Unrestricted
corner saloon, but we have got to dc
something. We know that the Volstead
law is not being observed, and I throw
down my gauntlet here and say Il never
will be observed. I clamor here and now
for provision that will give US Light
wines and beer"
Miss Marbury said she had been IN
formed by welfare workers that drug
addiction had increased since the Vol
stead law was made effective. and that
the workers were always hopeful shout
curing intemperance, bat hctNso hopeful
about the addicts.
1T is easier for girl on the stage, or
any other girl, 10 acquire the drug habit
than the drink habit" she asserted.
Mrs. George H. Childs. presica1t Of the

that she didn't think anyone took the law
seriously. Mrs. William Brann Of New

Then she explained that she was not

quite apart from the group herewith sub

The conference record is quite unparal-

maximum of good FEELING and neighoorli-

rejoicing in the results; and the separa-

Aim IL Common Welfare and Peace.
ut is not necessary to remind you
that the conference work was not d.
rected against, any power or group OF
powers. There were no punishments to
infiot, no rewards to bestow. Mutual
consid GRAFTON and the common welfare,
and the desire for world peace impelled.
The conclusions reached and the cove
nants written neither require nor con-
template compulsive measures against
any power in the world, signatory or
non-sisnatory. The offerings are free
will; the conscience Is that Of world
opinion; the observance Is matter OF
national honor.
These treaties leave no power des-

participating adjourned with every right
and every authority with which they

powers have been brought more closely

and friends, they have clearer and bet

seen suspicion challenged and selhshnes!
made to retreat, they have keener ant
more sympathetic understandings, ant
they are more strongly willed for righ

heart the powers In conference hav'
combined to make the world safer anc
