 On Military Affairs
BY GEORGE II, MANNING


 (Washtugton Butean of N E HerndD
 Washington. D. C., Dec. l5.-- Representative James P. Glynn of Winstcd has been assigned by re- publican leaders to the important military affairs committee, and his seat will probably be ratified by the house early this week,
 The military affairs committee is one of the major committees of the house, and membership on 1t eX- cludcs membership on any other committees, as it is thought that its work is so important as to require the entire attention of it's members It is in session almost daily. and considers all matters pertaining tc the military establishment and the national defense. Congressman Glynn made special application for an assignment on this body but was given no assurance that he would be given the post as many othcl representatives had also applied. "l am extremely pleased with th' assignment" said MT, Glynn, "The military affairs committee was th' one on which l hoped to be placed | Next to that l would have preferrcl naval affairs, but I like the military committee a little the better"
 Congressman Glynn declared therr is no special legislation to come be fore his committee in which he has i g. particular interest, but that h. intends to interest himself in al bills referred to the committee anr 1 to consider them from the stand point of national welfare.

"Wc call upon the youth to help us rcfute the oft repeated slurs upon their conduct. No longer should youths be branded as fask-toters. nor the fame Of our daughters rest upon their betting parties. Let mothers set them an example by hanishing the cocktail shaker from their homes and call upon the fathers to join in the crusade for sobrtety in the American home"
 Mrs Brewer appealed for greater participation in the ballot box. and declared women ought to go out tc the primaries and to the party eau, cuses. She urged active part il party politics os the only sure way to obtain the nomination of dry candidates.

HAYNES BELIEVES DRY LAW SUCCESS
Violations Decrease as Public
 Sentiment He Says

Providence, K. l., Dec, Is P)-- .Thu achievements of prohibition have just begun. Major Roy A. Haynes, assistant 10 General Lin coln c. Andrews, chief of prohibition enforcement, declared in an address before the Rhode Island and New England law enforcement convention here this afternoon.
 "As public sentiment speaks more forcibly, violations will decrease, b. said, There will be less need of enforcement. The will of the people is still behind prohibition, but they have tried 10 shift to pub. lie officials duties which belong to ,"crY citizen. The supreme court has clearly pointed out the duty of !cItizens 10 cooperate with officials. When Americans realize that they govern instead of being governed, i jhls and many other problems will i bu solved. To teach this to the people and enlist them in its prac- tiCc IS peculiarly the business of the 1 Anti-Saloon league and similar al-
 lied organizations. As they reused people to demand prohibition en- actmcnt, they must now rouse them 10 demand prohibition enforcement.
 Too Much Loose Talk
 Loose talking has discouraged many friends of prohibition, and taken the heart out of many enforce. ment officers. No amount of the, say evidence can refute the evi. d"nco you see of prohibitions suc. cess, The American people have done q marvellous thing. No whis- pcrcd innuendo can refute these evi, dent facts. The achievements oi prohibition have just begun"
 ! Declaring that feeble enforce ment begets feeble opposition" Mir Haynes bespoke general support ot q policy of equal responsibility, and concurrent action by all law enforce.
