In Statement Signed by National
Officers League Challenges the
Churches to Meet Wet
Attack
TO FALTER MEANS TO LOSE
II Churches Put Same Courage anG
Earnestness in Fight for En-
forcement as They Did to Get
Law They Will Win

In statement issued last week by Off
cials OF the Anti Saloon League of Amer
lea, ii is declared that when the church
demands prohibition enforcement with
the same emphasis that it demanded the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead
act, the question and confusion regarding
prohibition enforcement will be solved
The statement under the caption The
Unfinished Task-A Challenge to the
Churches" has been sent to .hurch mem
bcrs throughout the country, and has been
signed by Bishop Thomas Nicholson of
Detroit, president of the Anti-Saloon
League; DIR. +. Scott Mcbride, general
superintendent of the League DR.. How
ard H. Russell, associate general superin-
tendent and founder of the League;
Wayne b. Wheeler of Washington, the
Leagues attorney and legislative super
intendent; and DR.. Ernest H Cheering
ton, general manager of the Leagues
publishing interests. The challenge reads:
1t Will Be Enforced
"When the Church was ready to de-
mand prohibition the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the enforcement laws were
written When likewise the Church with
equal emphasis demands prohibition en-
forcement it will be secured.
"Tbe United States has never back
tracked on moral issue. II it should do
so on this issue. prohibition, now prov
ing a great benefit and blessing, wher-
ever enforced, will be lost and orderly
government will be broken.
The church must meet the challenge
OF the apostles OF gloom and despair the
defeatisis, who proclaim Christianity
breeds weaklings. the church decadent,
the government corrupt, democracy
failure. the social order doomed and pro-
hibition hypocritical. There is great nee
cessity for keeping the church in action
against the liquor traffic For 81 years
the League has been controlled and sup
ported by the church Millions of dol
lars, countless prayers, ard the price
less devotion of unnumbered lives have
been invested
ITO WAIVER or falter now would mean
the sacrifice of all that thus far has been

bition 70 the world as we'll as the disinte-
grafton of orderly government in the
United States.
Must Meet the Challenge

OF the world vets by an onward move
ment for worldwide prohibition Prohi-
bition is on trial before the world The
church is spending forty-four million dol
lars annually in its worldwide mission

more TO neutralize this important mis-
sionary work of the Christian church in
lands beyond the sea than the organized
liquor traffic.

center OF the adyersaries not only of pro-
hibiton but of every organized movement
against alcoholism which earnestly tends
to reduce the consumption OF alcohol and
quite especially of wine Paris is the seat
of the international League against Pro-
hibitions and of the very active wines and
spirits expectation commission, the &C
ton of which Canada experienced during
the campaigns for the abolition of prohi-
bition in Manitoba, Alberta and very
likely other provinces. Now a new soci-
ETY., that of the Union of the friends of
French wines has been constituted of
which the following is the programme ex-
pressed in its own terms:
Stimulated by the favourable results
obtained by other and similar protective
federations, numerous wine-merchants,
wine-growers, agents, representatives,
writer's scientific workers, physicians,
lawyers, jour nalists, hotel and restaurant
keepers, bar-men, friends of wine and
men of the world, have met together in
order to unite their forces and their re-
lations for the defence of the wine of
France. They have brought about for
the first time meeting between those
who produce, those who sell and those
who consume wine. 1t is beyond doubt
that such an association, which has its
roots in all classes of the population, will
serve the interests of viticulture and the
wine trade.
"The friends of the wine of France will
endeavor to multiply the manifestations
In honor of all the products of the vine
and to give them a popular character.
With this object, they will employ every
means at their command and will carry
on an active propaganda, amongst the
working population in particular; it must
not be forgotten that the Intellectual
classes have long been convinced Of the
value of wine and they restrict their con-
sumption of it only SO far as they are
obliged by economic conditions to do SO.
Wherever temperance workers organ
ize actions against wine, the friends OF
wine will be there to reply not only by
convincing arguments but by practical
proofs.
"The Friends of Wine Union should
be divided into sections, according to the
field of activity of the members; thus,
lawyers, physicians, engineers and chem
lists will use the opportunities of activity
occurring in their professions. Journalists
will render service by publishing articles
and communications in favor of wine in
their own papers, and by conducting cor
responsiveness for publication in the gen.
eral press. A womans section headed by
women OF high social position might OBJ
tain very interesting results in fashionable
circles.
"This union should have no Interior
aims and should pursue no commercial
interests. No special region, firm or
brand of wine is to be favored. 1t must
work solely for the wine of France.
at will gladly accept all studies, all
plans, all ideas presented to it if these

and the extension of the national bev-
erage.

LObsters ON Fire
Fare Better Than
Gobbled Oysters
Ry the Associated press


LONDON, May 2.-Oysters are
much more sensitive than Holsters,
says E. B. Boulenger, curator Of
the aquarium at the London zoo,
who declares that oysters probably
feel a lot worse when they are
chewed or swallowed alive than
Holsters do when plunged into hot
water.
The Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals has
rallied to the defense of the lob
ster, and there is much speculation
among London restaurant men as
to whether the oyster and snail will
now enlist a similar defense.
The higher the form of life an
animal has the more keenly it
feels says Mr.. Boulenger. "Oys-
ters and snails are q much higher
form than Holsters. Snails must
suffer when they are killed in salt
water, and oysters which escape
death when chewed by man un-
doubtedly have painful time when
plunged into the gastic juices"

Money as Damages
For Personal Libel
Held Not Taxable

Money obtained as damages for
personal libel is not taxable, though
interest upon it is, the Federal
Board of Tax Appeals held
in the case of c. A. Hawkins,
industrial engineer of San Fran
cisco, who received $112 500 in set
tlement out of court of his libel
suit against former associates.
The tax board held that S306.41
of interest involved was taxable
income, but that compensation as
general damages adds nothing to
the individual, for the very con-
cepts which sanctions it prohibit
that it shall include a profit; it is
an attempt to make the plaintiff
whole as before"
The boards decision sets a prec-
edent as to libel payments, and
while rejecting the plaintiffs con-
tention that income is a gain from
capital or labor, or both, rules that
a libel payment lin no event in
wolves income"

For instance. here is a city with
four or five radio stations. all of low
