WONDERFUL VOYAGE

German Opinions Stated.

'-The experts plan" Herr Stresemann
asserted, has become the economic
bible of the United States. American
opinion is convinced that the United
States won the war and that it has
just now won the peace. One must
take account of public opinion. which
has become one of the principal factors
in politics.
Even the fre-eating Nationalist
Count Reventlow, in opposing the plan
could not think of any better argument
to adduce than that its rejection would
help the presidential campaign OF La
Toilette, who favors the revision of
the treaty of Versailles"
The meaning and the lesson of these
various events seem clear enough:
without the cooperation of the United
States Europe is helpless to emerge
from its political chaos. With Ameri-
can cooperation Europe is rapidly en-
abled to advance toward something like
genuine peace and order. The active
cooperation of the United States is
essential to the final liquidation of the
war and to the better and more pacific
organization of the world.
Seven Powers Rule the World.
There is a profound reason why this
must be SO. While theoretically there
are today more than half a hundred
4 sovereign and independent states
practically human affairs are com
pletely dominated by seven great
powers-namely. Great Britain, the
United States France, Italy, Japan,
Germany and Russia. These seven
between them, control directly most
of the &orld's territory, more than
half of its population, all the seas,
most of the worlds wealth and indus
- RI oil Of iInb 10
tary and naval power. The lesser
states exist only BY the consent and
protection, or because of the rivalry
of the seven world powers.
Now the principal need of the time
is the political organization of the
world to correspond to it's new eco
nomic and moral unity and interrela-
tiou. To this end there must be agree
ment on some common plan, not so
much between the fifty-odd independ-
ent states, as between the seven
great states which have virtually all
- power. or at least, between a pre-
ponderance of them. The trouble
SINCE the war has been that the
seven world powers. instead of agree
ing, have fallen into state of almost
complete dissension, with interna-
ttonal anarchy as the consequence.
Tho United States withdrew and sat
alone France and Great Britain
quarreled. Germany opposed the
peace settlement. Russia outlawed
itself. Japan kept its own counsel
and Italy has begun to stand more
and more cautiously aloof
Powers TO Cooperate.
How, in these circumstances, would
it be possible to organize the world
for peace? Even the League of Ma
tions, for all its membership of 81
states, is hopelessly crippled by the
absence of three out of the seven

particular about what they drink:
Although more than 500 persons
were arrested in Chicago for imbibing
too freely during the city's greatest
Christmas celebration, only six cases
OF excessive alcoholism which may
result in moonshine poisoning
were recorded, survey yesterday

many more. Health Commissioner
Herman n. Bundasen was astonished

Liquor Forces in Retreat Before De-

Liquor law breakers are on the run

can be enforced. Officials are de

limit. The result is a combined drive

officials against bootleggers and blind

cases against bootleggers, mass

law enforcement committee of the
county board. In Williamson county
extensive raids made about six weeks
ago were recently followed by a sec

Both Williamson county drives were
under the direction of the federal

Wiz county raids were a part of the

the head. In Tazewell county the

to act than the lawless clement, but
when started become irresistible. Taze-
we'll county is good illustration. The
city of Pekin, formerly rival of Pc
oria as a whisky producing city has
been the scene OF much liquor law
lessness. The city seemed at one time
hopeless. The county board, in ac-
cordance with the provision of the
Illinois prohibition act, passed spe-
cal appropriation for law enforcement
purposes. Attorneys Reardon and
Black were employed as special pros
ecutors. Their efforts were very sue
cessfu. On New Years night would
be assassins sent bullets crashing
through the doors of their homes.
This merely aroused the deterlnina-
ton of both the prosecutors and the
people to suppress the lawless liquor
traffic. The county board voted a
reward of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the gunner who at
tempted to assassinate the prosecut-
ing attorneys.

West Wanted Time
Alderman West said that he was
not acquainted with the ordinance and
moved to lay it over for one week in
order that he might look into it. His
motion was not seconded.
A vote on the ordinance was taken
without any further discussion. There
were fifteen yeas and no nays, Alder
man West being excused from voting.
A fine of not less than SIS nor more
than 5000 for every offense is provided
in the ordinance.
Besides prohibiting possession, man
ufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor,
the ordinance prohibits possession of

for the illegal manufacture of liquor.

For many years Rev. H. z. Rompel
has been intensely active in the fight
against the liquor traffic, For a num-
ber of years he has been pastor of the
Ottawa Street Methodist church in
Joliet. His fighting qualities led to his
choice as head of the Anti-Saloon
Leagues legislature and enforcement
committee in Will county. A little
more than year ago Rev. Rompel's
church made the remarkable record of
having four Anti-Saloon League SER
vices within a period of less than two
months. More recently his fame as a

The other enacts into the city code
prohibition ordinance similar to
the Illinois prohibition act SO that
dry law violators may be prosecuted
in city court under a city ordinance.
Under this arrangement fines col
lected from offenders will be added
to the city's income.
When the latter ordinance had
been read Alderman Shirley West in
