Managers of the cafes which re-
ported the 10000 reservations said
they would cooperate with the Fed
eral authorities in enforcement.
Some of them were recently reported
as having employed detectives TO en-
able them to identify prohibition

work to keep the main trunk
highways of the State clear from
snow has been started since the
snowstorm the other day and the
light equipment owned by the cities

that will be kept open is the highway
from Kittery to Portland and Ban
gor. via Auburn. Winthrop and Au-
gusta, the route via Auburn and
Winthrop being selected on account

South Americans
Surprised Over
Reports on PerShing

New York, Dec. 29-(AP)-Dis-
patches received by the Associated
Press today from Tacna. Chile, indi-
cate that the report that General
John J. Pershing's health required his
return to the United States was re-
ceived there with surprise. 1t was
said there that while the general had
been contemplating visit to Wash
ington for two or three months there
had been no hint that his health was
unsatisfactory.
No explanation could be gotten as
to why General Pershing contemplate
ed returning to the United States but
it was indicated that If developments
demanded. he, might prolong his stay
in the plebiscite area.
During his early days in africa,
General Pershing had the services of
a Santiago dentist, but 1t was repre-
sented that whatever ailments he
was suffering from were not of a Sc
rious character and could await
treatment later.
Nothing was then said of excessive
high blood pressure. which Washing
ton dispatches said yesterday, was
partly Fastening Pershing's return to
the United States.

PRESIDENTS Father Cheerful
Despite Fact He May Never
Regain Use-Due to Faulty
Circulation, Word of Physi-
cian-No Indication of Par
alysis of Other Parts of
BOdy-Electrical Treatment
: May Be Used Later

Plymouth, VT, Dec. 29.-(AP)-
Colonel John C. Coolidge the presi-
dents father, was Every, very COM
Portable" his physician reported late
today. He sat up in his wheel chair
for half an hour and was apparently
had lost the use of his legs through
faulty blood circulation, and his ply
stefan, DIR. Albert G.. Cram, of Bridge
water. said the prospects of his ever
regaining the use of the legs were
remote.
The defective circulation. DIR. Cram
explained, had prevented the proper
amount of blood from reaching the
nerves in the parts affected and the
result is "a sort OF paralysis" The
ailment is not to be attributed to the
heart blocks" from which the Col
onel has suffered and which caused
his serious illness of several weeks
ago. The poor circulation DR.. Cram
said, Is due rather to old age, lower
ed vitality and other causes not
readily analysed.
The present treatment consists Of
the administration of internal medi-
cines and the most careful scrutiny
of the patients condition. Electrical
treatment might later be used. ac-
cording to DR.. Cram, but its appn-
cation at this time would not be ad-
visable. There was no immediate
reason to fear paralysis of other
parts of the body and the general
condition outside of the circulation
ailment appeared favorable.
Colonel Coolidge is cheerful" DR..
Cram said, but he is plainly dis
couraged over the loss of the use OF
his legs. He takes great interest IN
the published reports about him ana
1 am having some one read the pa
pers to him."
DR.. Cram was in telephone COM
munication with Major James f.
Coupal, the presidents physician IN
Washington, but the possibility OF
the latter's coming to Plymouth was
not discussed.
