LESS RUM CASES

Nearly baIf Total Cost Over
U. S. Returned by
Fines, Etc.

Contrary to the trend throughout
the country, District courts are max
ing Roadway in reducing the number
OF prohibition cases on the dockets.
While the total number of cases on
Federal court dockets throughout the
country climbed in the last two months
from 1916 to 22,936, the number on
the dockets here declined from 167
to 113.
The trend elsewhere, which shows
prohibition enforcement is making
can handle them, was explained by
Prohibition Director Woodcock as re-
sulting in the shift of more cases into
the State courts.
Fewer Cases Found.
The number of cases being made is
falling off. Col. Woodcock explained, in
Interpretation of statistics of enforce
ment. This may be taken, he said. as
an indication that enforcement as a
matter of fact is becoming more effec-
tive, because, he said, the prohibition
machine was working just as persist
to be made as enforcement improves,
Prohibition arrests in the District
fell of sharply from lit in September
to II in october. Cases placed on the
docket also dropped from 141 to 1913
during the same period, while convic-
tons by jury trial dropped from 8 to
5, and convictions by pleas Of guilty
fell from 152 to 122. Cases nolle pressed
decreased from IS to IL.
The average jail sentence here in
creased from 46.6 days to SGT from
September to October, but the average
fine decreased from $136.33 to $107.35.
Seizures Of beer fell of from ass gal
Ions to 337 gallons, and seizure of
spirits fell from 1,345 to 924 gallons.
Operations of the Prohibition Bureau
over the entire past fiscal year ending
July /, COL Woodcock said, cost the
American people only a cents and
mills per capita. The bureau turned
back into the Treasury, not only huge
sums which it did not use, but also
more than 100000 which it collected
in fines, bonds, penalties and taxes.
This looks like pretty good show
ing" declared the prohibition director.
Congress appropriated. for the bureau
last fiscal year $9,584,590, but out of
this there was turned back to the
Treasury an unused total of $167, 244.
A sum of $500 was contributed to the
expenses of maintaining the Personnel
Classification Board. The bureau COL
lected fines, bonds, penalties and taxes
In the sum of $4.138,211.11.
Col. Woodcock left last night for an
inspection trip in the West.

ISOLATION IS ENDED
German Ambassador Says
All Nations Must Consider
International Aims.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 12,-The Ger
man Ambassador, Friedrich w. Won
Prittwitz und Gaffron, told the Good
Will Congress today that no nation
can isolate its future from the entire
world.
ANY constructive foreign policy OF
nations, nowadays" the Ambassador
admonished, must consider general
international aims"
The German diplomat said diplo-
macy's "only reason for being consists
chiefly in applying all its efforts to
promote peace and good will"
The keynote of the congress, held
by the World Alliance for International
Friendship Through the Churches, has
American entrance into the World
Court and League of Nations.
Must Look to Future.
1--WE live in times Of social. political
and economic evolution" Herr Won
Prittwitz said, which contain elements
of conflict If we remain inactive, but
which will bring classes and nations
more closely together If we take ener-
getic action. This period calls more
than ever for joining forces in an at
tempt to master the future instead of
wasting time in fruitless discussions
concerning the past"
The Ambassador fastened to say
he did not minimize the credit prob
lem, but that he considered the pres
ent crisis more than a financial one
"Overproduction and under con-
sumption, the growing problem of I'M
employment, together with the rapidly
increasing use of machinery" the AM
bassador said, tend to unbalance the
economic structure and cause social
injustice - elements which cannot be
overemphasized."
The Ambassador said the present
crisis and its consequences have fur
nlshed the critics Of the capitalistic
system with ample arguments, but
these critics seem to overlook the fact
that no system can endure the viola
ton Of fundamental laws"
Urges Goodwill.
These laws, he said have been dis
regarded both nationally and interna-
tionally and in "such a malad iustment
crisis will necessarily result, no mat
Ter what the system"
Since the World War, Herr Won
Prtttwitz said, the United States has
led endeavors to limit and reduce arma-
nlents.
But in world where the human
being still has a heart and soul which
cannot be replaced by mechanical dev-
Ices" the diplomat said. "the psyche
logical element is recognized as a decis-
i've factor. 1t Is not only necessary to
acquaint the public with true facts, a
task which develoves upon a consci-
entious press, but 1t is also of vital i'm
portance to remind the people of the
fundamental principles Of our civiliza-
ton"
To secure lasting peace, he ended.
we must join forces to give our chill
dren an example of mutual goodwill
and restore friendly relations. Diplo-
macy more than ever Before. must work
in this direction"

 The vote was taken on domestic issues of whether or not the gov- ernment could consent to raising railroad fares in France without full debate by the chamber.
 Last summer the premier prom ised he would not raise the fares without such a discussion but he announced he will now discuss the matter only in commission. Lead CTS at once challenged him but Laval won out by 311 to PIP.
