Political observers are already pre-
dieting a big "wet" and dry" hight at

here.
The climax will come when the ma

draft election program which contains
the following plank" in respect to

is too vague and are pressing for
definite declaration that the party Will
stand for a dry policy. They want
the party to commit itself to local op-
ton.
The "wets" indicate that they will
fight such a policy to the last straw.

 SROM war hero, cited for brilliance and gallantry, to thief and betrayer

 That is the gamut of fame run by VII. fred Mccartney, once glorified by . na- ton as Fighting Mac," now a degraded prisoner, g man willing, for the sake of few shekels, to sell his honor.
 In many instances, his history closely parallels that of America's Benedict Ar mold. Both were men conspicuous for bravery under fire; one was feted by the belles of New York and Saratopa-the other lionized by Mayfair beauties; both terminated brilliant social careers bv turning traitor to the countries they had formerly defended with their lives.
 It is strange, colorful story that takes Wilfred from the luxurious home of his childhood, through the rigors of war, through romantic triumphs to squalor and eventually, prison stripes.
 Wilfred's father was . traction mag. nate who controlled great interests. The boy, his pet, had travelled most of the world over when still a child. He was being educated in the costly manner that befits the sons of English gentlemen when eAC wal o1ohc VOI. AL Illc tlIHe ne was on vacation in the United States with his father. Back he had to go to school. But Fighting Macs" blood was up, and one fine day when the roll call was read, he did not answer his name. Although only fifteen years old, he had run away to enlist.
 His war adventures read more like TO- nance than cold sober fact, but actually, by the force of his own personality, he had quelled rebellion on Zea, an island owned by the Greeks, and, having been decorated and publicly thanked by Veni- xelos, was made the islands Governor at sixteen years of agei When he had restored peace and seen to it that Zea was being run in perfect fashion, yielding Its quota of men and produce for the army, he was sent to quell rebellion of the Turks in the Near East.
 He fought gallantly, but he was of the type that can stand the dangers of war infinitely better than those of peace. So long as he could distinguish himself As . soldier, succeed in making hairbreadth escapes, pit his forces against those of the strong men massed against him, he was, enough, safe. It was the lure of women, of bright lights, of hectic pleasure, that he could not resist.
 He was badly wounded once but in- sisted upon returning to the front. He was taken prisoner and while being trans- ported from one prison camp to another. !eapt Nom the moving train, escaped from the guards who set up hue and cry for him, and miraculously got back to Eng
