DARTMOUTH HEAD
 FLATS PROHIBITION Dr. Hopkins Convinced Law
 Failure, He Tells Council CONDITIONS GROW WORSE
President of College Says He Favors Temperance, But Finds Statute Has Brought Just the Opposite in Nation.

Hanover, N. H., Dec. 22 Pt-Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins. president of Dartmouth college, in his first pub lie statement on the prohibition question, today declared his opposi- tion to the 18th amendment.
 He outlined his attitude in a let ter to the National Temperance Council, composed Of the principal officers of national temperance or ganizations, in reply to a request from the council for a statement of his views. In it, he said:
 'I do not see how individuals or organizations whose solicitude is for building up a spirit of temperance can continue either to believe in or or to support the theory or the prac- tice of the 18th amendment as de- fined in current legislation"
 Loug Maintained Silence
 Dr. Hopkins previously had re- trained from making any public statement of his opinion in the be- lief that to do so would create mis- understanding in regard to the attl- tude of the college and because he felt that practice might eventually show prohibition to be conducive to temperance.
 Now. however, looking back over a period of time in which at least the tendencies developed by the amendment can be shown,' he wrote. T cannot see, in the large, that advantage has accrued to any body, except possibly to industrial efficiency. in the enactment of the amendment and in the mass of legis- lation which has followed n its trail"
 He said he did not believe 1t a proper function of the constitution Ito devise SumptuarN provisions for personal conduct or that detailed provisions flor increasing the in dustrial efficiency of workmen be- long in a national charter of any government except ono more

New York, Dec. 22 CP) - Seizure yesterday of three rum running ves- sels with crews of eight men and hiduor worth $130.000 was announc- ed today by the Coast Guard. One of the captured craft sank after 400 leases had been transferred to a Coast Guard boat.
 The boat which sank was the sloop Elsie, ostensibly a scallop- fishing vessel. It was sighted early yesterday off Asbury Park, N. J.. by a patrol boat which came alongside and found it laden with liquor.
 A Coast Guard crew guarded the sioop's crew of five and the Elsie was started for New York in tow, but an hour later the Guardsmen on the Elsie hoisted distress signals and when the patrol boat came along side again the heavily loaded sloop was sinking. Aided by the prisoners the Guardsmen got off 400 cases or liouor before the Elsie sank.
 The prisoners identified them- selves as James Coppola, Tom Nil sen, John Peterson, Mike Carlson and Lars Anderson, Four of them. customs men said, had been captur-

The Once Over


The major powers cannot agree to abolish the SUBJ
marine. it Is announced. but viii "humanize' their
operations. In other words the U-boats will be more
polite. There may even be q Book Of Submarine Eth
quette by some naval Emily Post. Questions bound
to arise are:
Should q submarine speak to a vessel to which
IL has not been introduced?
2-what should the well dressed submarine skip
per wear (a) when sinking a ship In the morning C)
In the afternoon () at night?
SIS 1t proper, In fact, for a submarine to pay in
formal calls before noon?
4-On what occasions is 1t considered imperative
for a submarine to rise?
SIS it ever excusable for a merchant to keep a
U-boat waiting?
els 1t ever good manners for a submarine to can
eel a sinking after sending out announcements?
What are the correct forms Of apology to steam
ship tourists whose vessel has been sunk under them?
S.-How long should a submarine captain know a
merchant ship before torpedoing it?
9-How should a gentleman help a single lady out
Of the ocean? A married lady? A widow?
1o.-what is the proper greeting to a strange ship
by a well-bred submarine. Is Haven't I seen you
some place before9" or Pardon me, but didn't I meet
you once In the English Channel?" ever permissible?
s
Submarines, several naval powers insist, are all
right II they know the rules Of good behavior and
are not rough and uncouth. The trouble with those
used in the last war was that they had no manners.
This led to considerable hard feelings, which all
the naval powers are anxious to avoid. II Is possible,
they held, to blow up a ship without leaving an un-
favorable impression. Everything depends on the
right touch.
No submarine captain wants to be SO rude that he
will never be asked to sink anybody a second time.
There may even be cards issued by submarine SKIP
pers before the event:

THE GOLDEN TEXT
By DIR. ALVIN T.. BELL

Us ALVIN Lee ALLL
The king who has enunciated the
fundamental principles of his king
dom IN the Sermon on the Noun.
and presented the credentials OF
his royalty in many marvellous
miracles. Soon finds the fruits OF
his ministry increasing TO the point
where he must call assistants TO
share the work with him. Accord
ingly, the king selects from his
disciples a cabinet Of twelve mem
bers. men who have been with him
from the beginning. who are now to
share his work OF telling the people
about his Kingdom.
Crowds Cause Compassion
A crowd is always an interesting
study. TO the politician crowds
mean potential votes: TO a salesman
they are potential buyers; but &c
the Lord Jesus they were crowds
OF souls IN need OF ~Sustenance and
salvation. But when he saw the
multitudeS, he was moved with
compassion OH them, because they
tainted. and were scattered abroad,
as sheep having no shepherd. Then

the Lord Of the harvest. that he
will send forth laborers into his

ment Of thSoe who would help meet
the needs Of their fellowmen crowd
ing the highways Of life is compass
sion. sympathy, ability to under
stand and enter unto fellowship
with them in their deepest needs
and longings. Hard-boiled profess
sionalism. however skilled in other
respects, will fail utterly in minis
tering TO the troubled crowds be-
cause their deepest and most basic
needs are appreciated only BY
those who. like their Master. See
ing the multitudes are moved with
compassion on them"
Luke tells us how at this time

prayer to God. And when it was
day. he called unto him his disciples:
