DRY ENFORCEMENT
EXPECTED TO GROW
1927 viii See Pronounced
Improvement, Says Meth
,odiSt Board.

by the Associated fTese.
Prohibition is hailed as great
blessing to the United States by the
Anti-Saloon League of America in a
New Year statement, while 1927, the
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals of the Methodist
Episcopal Church believes, will signal
ize a pronounced Improvement in pro-
hibition enforcement.
Prohibition has added over $6,000,-
000.o0O to the Nations wealth." de
clared = the statement of the Anti
Saloon League. signed By its officers,
including Thomas Nicholson, presi.
dent; general counsel, Wayne B.
Wheeler, and general superintendent,
f. Scott Mcbride. The liquor law
also was credited by the league with
"'lengthening life, safeguarding health,
lessening crime and drunkenness and
reviving interest in religion"
Except in the moonshine liquor pro-
duction, 1927 finds prohibition en-
forcement better all along the line,
the Methodist Episcopal Board as
serted.
The remedy for many prohibition
enforcement ills OF 1926 will be ap-
piled in 1897, which opens the
eighth year of constitutional prohi-
bition, the Saloon League state
ment claimed.
Although handicapped by lack of
thorough cooperation between the
various Federal departments, by wet
filibustering tactics in the Senate,
which delayed enactment of needed
legislation, by the appointment of
uninterested or ,unfriendly officers to
enforce the law and by the un-
wholesome example of States like
Maryland and New York, which are
disloyal to the Constitution, this
American policy of government has
been the greatest economic, social.
hygienic and moral asset of the Ma
ton.
THE production of moonshine.
however, is still far too general" d"
said the Methodist Episcopal Church
Board. Friends of law and order
should bend their efforts during the
coming year to the placing in Office
of local officials who will enforce the
law against moonshiners and boot
leggers. A greater effort must also
be made toward the creation of an
overwhelming body of sentiment in
favor of the prohibition law"

Crv of Fire Blamed for Panic of Crowd
Celebrating in Front of Cathedral

| herded terrified women and children
to safety.
Ambulances removed a half dozen
persons to the hospitals. The affair
had SOLDERING effect on the merry
makers and they quickly melted away,
going to their homes much earlier
than usual on New Year morning.
AS far as could be learned this
morning, no one was seriously hurt
most of the injuries consisting of cuts
or bruises, but the affair came near
being a tragedy, especially for the
small children.
| While the cause Of the stampede is
| unknown, 1t may have been started
| by cries of fire, as engines had just
| passed through the crowd on their
way to a blaze in a business house
near the cathedral.
There had been a good deal Of drink
| ing and horseplay in some sections
| of the crowd and it is possible that
the rush was started by mischief
makers.

MEXICO CITY, January with
out specifically mentioning the petro-
leum and land laws, which went into
effect today, President Gales, in a
New Year message to the Mexican
people, asserts that he has no inten-
ton of interpreting constitutional
law in a way that will harm legiti-

ton that of not absorbing our ma

Uncertainty Still Prevails.
Uncertainty continues to prevail as
to what will happen now that the
laws have gone into effect. They
provide that the oil lands of foreign :
owned companies which did not apply
for conf1rmatory concessions before
midnight last night shall revert to
the Mexican government. Whether
the government will actually go as
far as seizure, however, remains to
be seen.
If it does, the foreign interests will
have specific complaint on which to
base their future course of action;
if it does not, the situation may con-

Regarding the general policy Of his
government, he declared Mexico was
not disciple or upholder Of an
exotic system of government or of
political and social theories "abso-

ment and tendencies" This remark
was commented on as having refer

LONDON, January New Year
eve revels in front of st. Paups Cathe-

the great crowd down Ludgate Hill in
wild rout. .,
Women and children were trampled
and kicked, others tainted and some
of those thrown down were cut by
broken bottles with which the street
was strewn.
The stampede seems to have been
saved from becoming a disaster only
through police precautions and by the
presence of a proportion Of cool-headed
persons among the throng.
The crowd had gathered before the
cathedral, in accordance with custom,
to celebrate the coming of the new

large, with a big rowdy element, led
the police to call up reinforcements
at I1.80 pm, and this strong force,

TWO MUDDLED PROBLEMS.
President Appeals to Press on Mica

BY the Associated Press
The dawn of 1927 finds the United
States facing an international situa'
ton more muddled perhaps than any
since the World War.
Prospects of an early settlement of
the Nicaraguan and Mexican ques.
tions do not appear bright, and
President Coolidge has appealed to
the press of the country to show an
American attitude" and stand behind
the administrators efforts to uphold
existing standards of international
law.
The civil strife in Nicaragua, where
American naval forces have been
landed to protect American lives and
property, and the controversy over
the new Mexican oil and land laws,
which took effect last midnight, re.
main in status quo as far as this
country's policy is concerned, but
both questions are developing new
turns with regard to the individual
parties concerned.
Diaz Marshals Forces.
Adolfo DiaZ, Conservative President
of Nicaragua, who has been recog.
nized by the United States, is
marshaling his forces to stay the
advance of the Liberal army, headed
by Juan b. Sacasa, former vice presi.
dent, who is recognized by Mexico
after having denied charges that he
was receiving aid from American
bankers, and refused mediation
offer by his neighbor, Costa Rica.
His statement that his government
did not owe L cent to bankers in
this country and that he was quite
capable of maintaining law and order,
provided the Liberals do not continue
to receive aid from Mexico, drew a
reioinder from Dr. T. S. Vaca, Sa-

Nicaragua owes nothing to the bank

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Dec. 2s.-No
part of the world has as many pre-
historic mounds and monuments as
exist in North America, delexates
to the American Association for the

here were told by P. e. Cox, State

Ages before man constructed stone
pyramids and like structures in the
Valley Of the Nile, prehistoric man
prepared more durable monuments
Of earth on the North American
continent, Cox told the association.
All existence has been maintained
to q controlling degree by EARTH"
he said. "Prehistoric men realized
this from the beginning. What
more fitting material could have
been utilized, not only for preserv-
ing the dead, but to prepare for the
future existence and to remind
coming men Of the existence of
their predecessors"
Such cities as Nashville and Mem.
phis are located on sites of prehis-
toric mounds, Cox said in emphasiz-
ing the Importance of the prehis.
toric graves. He pointed to Car
thage, in Africa, as the greatest
example of powerful cities being
