MARYLAND WILL CONSIDER
 LIQUOR ENFORCEMENT ACT

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 19.-Chiet among the important legislation which will come before the Maryland General Assembly at it's session this month, will be a state enforcement act fathered by the Anti-Saloon lea que. Twice the measure has failed of passage and interest is certain to cen ter around the struggle.
 No definite idea has been obtained, as yet, as to the standing of the leg islature on the liquor question. The drys claim the Senate is dry, but pri- vately cOncede that the house is doubtful. On the other hand the vets maintain that the house Is wet but they do not appear to be sure about the senate
 Should an enforcement measure be passed its approval or disapproval rests with the governor, who has not intimated what he would do in this event.
 A state bonus for Maryland ex-serv- ice men will be strongly urged at this session, with the American Legion pushing the measure
