FAVORS MODIFICATION
Declares Has Found General Senu-
ment in Favor of Allowing Beer
and Light Wines.

Philadelphia, June 22.-John W.
Weeks, Secretary of War, turned his
guns yesterday on the Volstead act,
which he declared was the cause OF
most of the unrest in the country.
Throughout the nation" he as
serted at Chester, where he addressed
the graduates of the Pennsylvania
Military College, 81 have found a gen
eral sentiment in favor of an amend
ment to the Volstead act. The people
want beer and light wines, and if l
were in Congress they could have
them.
81 am in favor of a modification of
this law. | believe it is the cause OF
most of the unrest in the country to-
day. Prohibition is subject that
can't be sidestepped. Candidates must
take stand. and / believe those who
favor modification of the present

Later. during his formal address,
Mr.. Weeks said:

pable legislator in Washington | am

'Tf, on the contrary, he is negll-
gent, careless and inefficient the peo-
pie who sent him to Washington are
responsible.
God forbid our country shall ever
again be compelled to engage IN war

vice arises"
Referring to the statement OF Sen

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, June 22.-The state OF
Virginia IS to receive $971,2 PIG from
the federal government to be used IN
the construction of roads throughout
the commonwealth beginning July /,
1922. In order, however, to secure
this sum from the government, the

a similar amount toward the support
of its highways.
The new appropriation will come
at a time when Virginia is nearing the
limit of its funds available for road
building.
The Postofice Appropriation Bill
lust signed by President Harding
carries $l90,000,000 to be expended IN
the construction of good roads
throughout the country for the next
three years.
What the new funds will mean to
the country can be judged by the use
that has been made of the $3.50, ,OOO,-
600 previously appropriated. On
May 3lst. of this year, 1900 miles OF
road had been completed, and in addi-
ton nearly 14,5OO miles were under
construction. Federal aid roads in
all stages total nearly 3S,700 miles,
involving over S287, 100000 of gov
ernment money. To match this fund
the states have appropriated approx
imate!y SS0,0O0,000, making a total
of SG67, 100000.
