The measure would ban wine and
beer as well as more potent bever-
ages, but would allow the home
manufacture of naturally fermented
wines and elders. At present the
sale of wine is allowed in 80 Of the

beer in SO counties.
The bill to prohibit liquor trans

existing provision which allows a

FLOWN FROM U. S.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-R-
Seeking to discourage Japan from
undertaking a drive to the south
while Britain is preoccupied with
Germany, the British government
announced today that planes are
being flown from this country to
its forces in the Far East.
The announcement followed by
only a few days the arrival of
large Australian reinforcements at
Britain's stronghold in
the Orient.
The statement made by officials
at the British embassy did not
the purpose of the plane
movements nor diclose the num-
bers, types or routes Of the air
craft.
British officials told newsmen
only that aircraft are being flown
the west coats of the United
States to their forces in the Far
East, indicating that powerful
bomber reinforcements are being
sent to the naval and air base
at Singapore.
The British are now buying a
number of bombing planes on the
west coast which are capable of
to the Far East by way OF
American fields at Hawaii, 2,089
miles from San Francisco.
Among these planes are 26 four
engined Consolidated bombers and
20 four-engined Boeing bombers,
originally ordered by the United
States Army Air Corps but re-
leased subsequently for sale to
Britain.
These planes, which are known
as Consolidated B-24's and Boeing
Bit Cs, have a range estimated
at 1000 to 5000 miles. l

and the executive order barring
entry into strategical bases in the

For several days-since Secre-
tary Hull conferred last week with
the British ambassador and the
Australian and Dutch ministers
the Japanese press has been play
ing on the theme of 'four-power
encirclement" by the United
States, Britain, Australia and the
Dutch East Indies.
In Shanghai, Major Kunio Aki-
yama, spokesman for the Japa-
nese expeditionary force in China,
put it in metaphor.
Japan" he said gravely, has
the heart of a dove of peace, but
a snake-the United States a n d
Great Britain-has placed its egg
in the doves nest"
The egg, he explained, sis the
fortification of Singapore, the ar
rival of Australian troops in Ma
laya and the impending fortified
ton of Guam and. Samoa"
What, he was asked, would hatch
from all this?
God knows" he replied, but
the dove will protest vigorously" l

IN GREAT
NEED OF COOKS
Recruiting Officers Ordered to
Make Special Efforts to
Enlist Cooks

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-RE
'Wanted: Cooks, male; ID to 49,
previous experience unnecessary,
but preferred. Steady pay, sleep
ing and living quarters, 20 o d,
clothing and entertainment pro-
vided. Long term contracts. Ap'
ply Uncle Sam"
You won't see an advertisement
quite like that, but the Army wants
just that-more cooks. And, it you
want to be a cook, you can learn
how by answering the ad.
Bullets and tanks, shells and
guns help the soldier in battle,
but the military chieftains haven't
forgotten the most important max.
i'm that a good army fights best
on a full stomach.
Col. Lloyd B. Magruder, boss
recruiting officer of the Second
Corps Army area, directed aides
today to make special efforts to
enlist cooks-those already trained
in the craft and neophytes, as well.
A nine-month course of training
in special schools awaits the I'M
skilled recruit, Col. Magruder ex.
planned, adding that Army cooks
draw from So to $50 a month above
the base pay of a private and
that there were opportunities to
advance to the rank of sergeant.
At Fort Monmouth, N. j., 1872
cooks were needed for the 18th
signal service battalion and others
in training; cooks were needed,
too, the announcement said, at the
First Army headquarters at Gov
errors Island and at Plattsburg,
N. Y, barracks.
The Navy also is placing some
of its men in special training for
its officers messes, with the
schools" being the kitchens of
New York hotels and restaurants.
With the cooperation of the New
York State Restaurant association,
cooks are being provided the Army
and the specialized training is be-
ing made available to the Navy
officers cooks ari stewards. En-
listed mems cooks are trained in
