BISHOP ASKS
CLEANUP Of
new YORK
SECTOR
Law Should Be Observed
at Whatever Cost,
Churchman Says.

WASHINGTON. April 19.-GP-~
The militant call to the American
government to accept the challenge OF
opponents of the Nolstead Act was
sounded by the drys today before the
Senate Prohibition committee. Speak
ing for the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, Bishop James Cannon
Jr.. told the committee the law should
be enforced in the wet New York
sector Of the East at whatever cost
Of men and money, to protect other
sections from contamination.
VETS ATTACKED.
The vets. he said. had taken the
committee hearings far afield durns
their two weeks of testimony before
the committee, and it was time to re-
turn to the basic question whether in
the country as whole the Nolstesd
method of dealing with the liquor
traffic had not been more effective
than any other.
Bishop Cannon. who is head OF the
legislative committee Of the Anti
Saloon League, was followed by other
officials OF church aud temperance or
CARNATIONS, who presented data de-
signed to upset the contention Of the
vets that conditions have grown worse
under the dry laws"
1t was noteworthy, Bishop Cannon
said, that the testimony presented
by the opponents of prohibition had
come almost entirely from persons liv-
ing in The New York Sector" includ.
ing New York, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
SCORES TESTIMONY.
Two of these states, Maryland ano
New York, have utterly refused TO
pass any state enforcement law" he
said, "and yet the very men in those
states who are largely responsible
for the failure to pass an enforcement
law, are the ones who are loudly and
illogically denouncing the failurs to
enforce the law"
Reviewing some of the testimony
for the vets, he said, he could not be
made to believe that 80 per cent OF
the laboring people of the country are
violating the constitution by Qx
manufacture of intoxioants in their
homes.
STRICTER LAW ASKED.
AS an American citizen he add
ed, II rcpudiate these wholesale asser-
tons as not applying to the grcs'
mass of our American people. Ger,
tainly, they do not apply to the more
than 21.OOO.OO0 Sunday school
scholars, 100000 members Of Young
Peoples societies. and over 10000.

churches.

With the entire city gaily decorated
with bright-hued bunting and vari,

Mo Monday yielded itself wholeheart-

meDt will reign supreme.
Starting with a band concert on
Alamo Plaza Monday night, swinging
10 the annual Pioneers ball at the
new 100000 municipal auditorium,
through the various civic parades of
the week and eiimaxing with the cor
onstion of BE queen Thursday night

C0LORFUB PARADES.
No expense or labor has been spared
by Fiesta officials in insuring the
success OF San Antonio's annual
spring tessival.
GaiIy decorated floats, bearing real
flowers, pretty girls and high ranking
army officers will lend color to the
various parades which will feature
the week.
Given its premier showing Sunday
night, before 5000 spectators who
crowded the spacious stadium, 1.-The
Spirit of the Argonne" fulfilled the ex-
pectations of its producers. Depicted
in the reconstructed village of Mount
facon, the gay life of the French peas
ants, undimmed by the tragedies of
war were faithfully reproduced. The
capture of the village by the Ger
mans and the attack of the Ameri-
can forces was a bit of realistic bat
tie action which won ovation after
ovation from the audience.
REALISTIC BATTLE
Actual war conditions were re-enect-
ed, the crash of artillery intermingled
with the crackle of rifle and machine
gun fire. Very lights illuminated the
smoke-enshrouded battle field and
bursting shells dug huge craters on
the parapet of the trenches, while col
ored skyrOckets flashed their signals
of the supporting forces.
And when the war was over the an
gel of peace appeared with its message
Of Good Will" to all men, and prayed
that this war 10 end war might be
the last to afflict the earth.

against him personally, he is an
