which contains an account OF the
earthquake in which 1000 people
lost their lives. The letter in part is
as follows:
Il experienced my first earth
quake on the night Of the tenth Of
November. Il was just ten minutes
before midnight and was having
quite an unpleasant dream. There
seemed to be quite a disturbance, and
then DR.. Freed called 10 me and said
there was a quake. Then / awoke

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4-Conis.
cation Of foreign warships found il
American waters with Intoxicating
liquor aboard and the depriving OF
foreign diplomatic and consular rep
resentatives in this country of such
beverages would logically follow a
Government victory in the steam
ship companies contest Of the pro-
hibition ruling of the Attorney-Gen-
eral which was reached for argu-
ment in the Supreme Court today,
former Attorney-Genersl GeoFSe w.
Wickersham counsel for the foreign
steamship companies, contended in
a brief already filed.
Foreign ships have a right to bring
Intoxicating liquors into American
.larbors as sealed sea stores, Mr..
N'ickersham insisted. noting that
whenever Congress has intended to
extend the police regulations a.
the United States to foreign ships
within our ports 1T has expressly
declared such intention in unfnis-
taxable terms" Decisions we's cited
TO show that the Supreme Court had
held that the patent laws did hot
extend TO a foreign merchant vessel
lawfully in one OF our ports, and
that similar construction had been
placed upon other laws.
Under the construction contended
for by the Government. the brief as
serted, a foreign vessel with intoxi-
eating liquor aboard II forced by
stress of weather into one of our
ports would be forfeited under tre
Prohibition act, irrespective OF all
principles OF international law and
customary usages OF civilized ma
tions.
Asserting that the prohibition
amendment aims only at intoxicat-
ing liquors for beverage purposes"
Mr.. Wickarshaw pointed out that
IN the supplemental enforcement act
OF 1921 Congress made specific pro-
vision for the importation from
foreign countries of intoxicating liq-
uors 10 meet non-beverage needs
when the domestic supply was ex-
hausted. Emphasizing that the use ,
Of Intoxicating liquors lie express
" permitted by law in the homes
Of the United States" Mr.. Wicker
sham declared that prohibition has
made such a profound impression |
upon the official mind that the limi- |
tations o. the Eighteenth Amend |
ment has been lost sight Of.
To contend that the mere pres
ence Of such beverages among tbs
sea stores Of foreign ships which
Mapped TO be in American ports
violates the entent Of the trainers
Of the amendment and the act" said /
Mr.. Wickersham, ignores the Ian
guage of these measures. The
presence of alcoholic beverages
among the sea stores Of a foreign
ship is no more a violation Of our
prohibitory system than the pres
ence Of such commodies in the
homes. the apothecary shops or the
bonded warehouses of our countr1,
which Is expressly allowed.
There Is no more danger that liquor
n sea stores on foreign ships escape
and corrupt our people than that
there shall be leakage from the mill
Ions Of gallons stored in United
States bonded warehouses"

Wilson is what folks call a "cold''

Wilson is what folks call cold
man.
1t does not mean that Americans
make a mecca of the home OF a for
mer president. Other presidents
have retired to private lives and
promptly been forgotten.
It does not mean anything politi-
cal. For Wilson will never hold Of
flee again.
1t means the people are slowly
but surely coming back to an ideal.
And that ideal is peace through the
brotherhood Of man.
Americans, in a spirit of unrest
and desire for change, for time
forgot this ideal after the war. Now
the pendulum is swinging back.
Woodrow Wilson personifies this
ideal. Having dug it up out OF
Genesis, he made himself it's high
priest. He fought and won the
! war on it and on it tried to found
the peace.
"You may think you are awfulIy
smart" John Sharp Williams told
his fellow senator's, when you ad-
wise the American people to take

their brethren in Europe go to hell
But you are not smart and you are
not good when you say that. You
are just common, selfish, mean
men,"
Misled for time by common
| selfish, mean men," the people are
lrallying again to the age-old ideal
''The common sense and the com
mon conscience of the common peo.
pie of America are not annihilated,
as the pilgrimages to the home o1
| Wilson conclusively prove.
Instead they are getting more
and more behind the idea of pre-
serving, and enforcing, if necessary
the peace of the world.
