KENTUCKY BALLOT
ON REPEAL NEARS
State Dry Law, "NulIified''
Already, to Be Voted
on Tuesday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November a.
The spirits of Carrie Nation, bar
smashing daughter of the Bluegrass,
and the Kentucky colonel who likes
his mint juleps clashed tonight in a
bitter fight over outlawing kentuckys
$l00,0O0,000 whisky industry.
Next Tuesday, when Kentuchans
elect a Governor and other State
officers, they will vote on repeal Of the
State prohibition amendment. Demo-
cratic and Republican gubernatorial
candidates are taking no sides, but
Prohibition party candidate Is battling
against repeal.
Carrie Nation, who went from Ken
lucky to WELD hatchets in Kansas
saloons, smashed no pars in her ma
tive State, but the crusade she aided
closed down its huge distilling plants
Is years ago. A few survived under
Government permit to manufacture
medicinal liquor.
Kentucky adopted State constitu-
tional prohibition in November, 1919,
by a margin of 10,717 after national
prohibition went into effect. Ninety
seven of the States 120 counties voted
for the amendment.
With repeal in December, 1888,
moss-covered plants, long idle, began
to take on life. Construction of new
plants began. The 1884 Legislature
repealed the State enforcement act
and legalized manufacture and sale
of liquor on the theory it served
medicinal purpose. The drys cried
qualification" but they forced no
court test and awaited the outcome Of
the State referendum.
Kentucky had 6o.O1s,o6s gallons of
whisky in bonded warehouses Sep
tember 80, or about one-third OF the
whisky In the Nation. If drys win
Tuesday, they plan to force court and
legislation action to outlaw the indus
try entirely in Kentucky.

The opening lead was the six OF
spades North carefully put on the
four spot from dummy, and then
discovered that II he wanted the
trick he would have to put up his
ace; so he decided he didn't want
the trick. East continued the spades,
this time playing the queen. As
South remarked afterward, North
evidently assumed that South had
opened the six of spades from Q 6;
that West was sitting there with
J 10 8 3 2, for he proceeded to take
a diamond finesse into East's hand.
To give him due credit, he didn't
take it blindly. He played the jack
and when East didn't cover, he nat
urally went right up with the ace
and finessed the ten spot coming
back. East knocked out the king of
spades. Now-at this point-North
discovered that he needed a club
trick to make his contract. And
who had the ace Of clubs? None
other than East. With all those re-
markable plays, North went down
only one trick.
What annoyed South more than
the diamond-club flasco was the
fact that North had not covered the
six Of spades with the seven. More
over, North had arguments to vol
unteer on the subject. Psychology is
fI,a Iaocir Ona y,lovc 1Ouy f,-oy,a
board and has a card virtually out
of ones hand before West has a
chance to think. That theoretically
encourages West to go up with an
honor. North said, among other
things, that 7 would have ducked
the trick. That's one reason that
the tale Of this whole narrowing
evening was related to me by South.
South finally made North a sport
ing proposition. She said, "I will bet
you whatever you want that cover
ing the six spot with the seven can
not be losing as often as not cover
ing" West, with a doubleton honor,
can duck the six spot. He can't afford
to play low If the seven spot is put
on the six, and then North has some
sort Of tenace over East If East holds
the other two honors.
These arguments were getting South
nowhere, however. She was so right
that she was losing what shreds of
se1f-control still remained to her.

abreast of developments in France,
and we had considerable statistical

much important data when we entered
the war.
zone of the greatest problems facing
troops campaigning in Ethiopia is that
of communications, establishment of
supply bases, magazines, hospitals.
Food and ammunition supplies always
should be within days round trip Of
the front, and that means pretty close

has to be done by mules.

study more practical, and at the same
time more interesting. the student OFF,
GERS fight at least one mimic battle
during each year. In this exercise the
class of nearly a hundred officers is
divided into two forces. with their Or
ganization corresponding roughly to
that of armies in actual conflict.
A LOCALE is selected, perhaps ETH:
opia, and the extensive resources
of the map department of the college
are utilized. Officers Of the faculty
serve as umpires. while the two armies
spend several days in planning and
executing their theoretical maneuvers
Of attack and defense.
In their exercise no detail is spared,
and the officers Of each army make
provision for aircraft and chemical
warfare, as well as for cooperation
with naval forces. The problems Of
supplies, disqualification and artillery
concealment, along with dozens Of
others which never occur to the lay
man, are given thorough considera-
ton, and any lapses along any of these
lines means that the umpires will
score discredits against the offenders.
In more serious moments these same
problems may mean losses of many
men and many dollars, and it is the
objective of the college instructors to
prepare these students to meet the
actual exigencies of warfare.
In this case the conflict is contained
within the War College Building, quar-
ters on the top floor being adapted to
such military training.
Each Spring, however, an outdoor
problem is presented to the students
of this postgraduate school OF sol-
diering and the officers get q taste
of even more realistic conditions.
Usually this exercise consists Of study
ing the background Of some OF the
notable campaigns of one of our own
wars and an outdoor rehearsal OF
some of its problems.
Upon occasion, for instance, the OH
GERS have reviewed Civil War engage
ments in the lecture room and then
spent few days on the fields of near
by Virginia and Pennsylvania where
so much of that costly fighting took
place.
In these cases consideration Is given
not only to the problems which faced
the officers Of Civil War days. but also
to those which would face officers
directing campaigns in the same terri
tory today, but with all the facilities
Of modern destruction available.

The college outlines the courses as
follows:
"The G-1 course is devoted to studies
of the principles Of procurement, class
ification, assignment and replacement
of military personnel, and OF the du-
ties and functions of G-1 in the War
Department General Staff and the
headquarters of units higher than the
Army corps. There is other G-1 work
in the development of strategical
plans.
"The CO course includes studies of
the war-making powers of nations,
to include the geographic, economic,
political and sociological as well as
the purely military factors; instruction
in the duties of CO officers In the
War Department. and at the head
quarters of units higher than the
Army corps.
"The G-3 course is concerned with
those matters which ir general are
related to organization, training and
operations, including mobilization: 1t
includes studies of the functions and
responsibilities of the War Plans Di-
vision and of G-3, War Department,
and G-3 of echelons of command
higher than an Army corps; 1t involves
the study of historical and compare
tive subjects as basis for the inves-
tigation of those principles and doc
trines which govern G-3 in the solu-
ton of the problems confronting him
and determining the methods to be
employed in the preparation OF his
contributions to war plans.
1.-THE Ga course is devoted to
studies of the duties and functions of
Ga in the War Department General
Staff and the headquarters OF units
higher than the Army corps, the pur-
pose of which Is to instruct officers IN
the system Of procurement and dis
tribution of supplies; zone OF the in

ply movements from the zone of inte-
rior to the theater of operations and
excavations; receipt in theater OF op-
erations, organization for and method
of regulation and distribution TO ar
mics and detachments and large
movements within the theater. and
exploitation of the theater OF opera
tions."
IT IS in their proper relation to the
scope Of these courses that study
is being made Of factors involved IN
the Italian Ethiopian war. AS part
of this study, situation maps are being
maintained by both the Army and
naval officers Of the faculty. On that
of the former are posted the blue
pins which indicate Italian troops ana
the red ones which indicate Ethiopian
forces. Along the sides OF the map
are pasted digests Of information con-
cerning operations on thsf various

principally with the Mediterranean
Sea as units of the British and Italian
fleets are spotted, along with nota-
tions on their comparative strength
and the facilities of the bases where
they are located.
