ROMK, Jan. C.
While the meeting hero of the Kntcntc
War Ministers was shrouded In strictest
necrocj it generally was beloved today Hint
only measures for closer co-operation In tho
prosecution of tho war would lie discussed.
Keed forsuch an exchange of views was held
necessary by tho many recent changes In
the War Cabinets of the Kntonto Powers.
Representing England arc Premier Lloyd
George and Viscount Mllncr. Preiuler
Brland. Minister of War Lyautey and Min
ister of National Manufactures Thomas aro
here In tho interests of France. General
Palltzln, of tho Russian General Staff, and
Italian officials comprlso tho rest of tho
membership.
Tho fact that Ronio was decided on as
the meeting placo has greatly pleased the
Italian press. Tho Corrlero IVItalia says:
Tho meeting will have significance
that will not escapo liorlln and Vienna,
as It will bo demonstrated that tho 12n
tentc, instead of being weakened by
threats of peace. Is resolved tlnnly to
contlnuo tho war until tho objects of
the Allies aro attained.
LONDON. Jan. C.
Interest centered today in war not In
peace. Two conferences tho ono by tho
Allies, tho other by highest olllelnls of tho
Central Powers were cited to Indicate- that
both sets of belligerents Intended to lii.iko
answer to tho various peaco notes with the
force of arms.
Tho Allies' conferenco was nt Roma. It
was a meeting of tho I'rlmo Ministers and
Cabinet olllelals of tho Kutento nations.
It was ofllclally characterized as u "get
together" session for Interchange of vlows.
It was taken hero to forecast a nioro vig
orous prosecution of Iho war.
Tho Germanic conference was reported In
dispatches emanating from Vienna, detail
ing "an Important conferenco" at tho Held
camp of Kaiser William. Present wcro tho
Kaiser, Klcld Marshal Archduke Frederick,
Commander-in-Chief of Austria-Hungary's
armies; Field Marshal von Iloctzendorff,
Chief of Staff of tho Austrian nrmles;
Crown Prince Boris, of Bulgaria; Field
Marshal von Hlndcnburg and Quartermas
ter General von Ludcndorff.
Tho Teutonic consors did-not permit dis
patches to detail what was considered at
this conference, nor tho reason why it was
called.
It was assumed that this conferenco of
military chiefs was connected In some way
with the conferenco called for llcrllu next
week of presidents of parliament and pre
mlers of all Central Powers nations.
British public opinion holds thero could
be no better answer to German peaco prof
fers than the Romo conferenco ' starting
today with a professed purpose to obtain
greater unity of effort in waging the war
henceforth. According to tho British view,
the conferenco also, develops utter failure
of Germany's scheme to iVcate dissension
among tho Allies through her peace pro
posal. ... . . PARIS, Jan. 6.

two years has seen will characterize 1917

article summarizing tho war situation. Ho
asserts:
Discussions of this kind (peace)'

It is not a bad thing to fnmlllarizo

CONGRESS URGED
TO PROBE
Charles B. Towns Asks In
quiry Into Habit-Form- (
ing Drug Problem
SAYS STATES NEED HELP
Pll n Staff Corrrloiirfenf
WASHINGTON. Jan. fi. Appointment of
u commltteo to Investigate the wholo sub
ject of Federal responsibility In tho solu
tion of tho hnbit-fortnlng drug problem Is
urged by Charles It. Towns, of Now York,
in a twenty-pago argument he has sub
mitted to Congress, Ah an authority on
unti-drug legislation. Mr. Towns takes tho
position that In amending the Harrison nar
cotic law to correct its shown weaknesses
tho services of a special committee should
be had.
It is tho contention of Mr. Towns that
tho Undines of such r' Federal commlttoo
would help tho various States to get uni
form laws in dealing with tho "dopo"
problem. "It would," ho tiuyn, "establish
u legislative, medical nnd sociological pro
cedent that would give tills country for
the first time tho primacy it ought to have
in asking other countries to Join witli us
onco and for all in terminating this evil."
"My findings have shown," said Mr.
Towns, "that not more than ten per cent
of thoso afflicted with tho drug habit tiro
entitled to use drugs continuously because
of physical disability. We are sacrificing
ninety per cent of thoso who could be well
and normal without the drug to alleviate
tho suffering of thosa tow Incurable per.
sons."
In his pamphlet to Congress, Mr. Towns
points out that one of tho great, st weak
nesses of tho present Federal law Is that
a drug taker, or uuy person purporting to
be a drug taker, can havo Just a, many
physicians prescribing for htm as he may
seo (It. Furthermore, ho may demand as
much of tho drugs as he desires.
prtKscmniJ what patient asks
"Tho doctor does not havo to find out
whether the person is a confirmed drug
taker," says Mr. Towns. "He can take
tho man's word for it nnd proscribe Ju
what tho patient asks for. ' .V few such
'patients could virtually corner the habit
forming drug market, and If they wanted
