ate that acceptance of the league cove- 1
nant was nn absolute necessit to pro
tect American rights and preserve civ
ilization during the reconbtruction pe
riod. Predicating his argument upon ob
servations during a xisit to England.
France and Belgium, he said the people
of Europe were pinning hope of a better
era upon a faith that the United States
would take the lead in a league to pre
vent war. He anal zed the league
covenant and declared it contained
nothing subverting American sncreigut
nor destroying American policies.
Prevention Better Than War
"The real question." said Mr (Jerry,
"is whether we believe that it is better
for the United States to have a say in
European matters and thus tr.x to pre
vent another horrible war. or to keep
our hands off and wait until the world
Is aflame and then endeavor to assert
our might to protect our ports. In one
caFe we have a hand in shaping the
destinies of mankind. In the other we
suffer the consequences that are likely
to come from an uncontrollable situa
tion in Europe.
'Tor four years Europe has passed
through an era of horrors, depriva
tions and bloodshed that has shaken
the very foundations of our civiliza
tion." continued Senator fierry. "All
nations have enough war debts and
heavy taxes to pay, and manv of the
necessaries of life are procured with
difficulty. America is looked to as the
main hope. The people of western
Europe, went through all this terrible
period and kept their heads, because
they believed that there was n better
time coming to them. It is this spirit
that is the foundation in my judgment,
of the support that President Wilson
has received for his league of nations."
Deploring partisan consideration of
the league proposal, Mr. Gerry said:
"Many prominent Republicans in my
state have expressed the. hope that T
might be able to lend by support to the
adoption of this covenant."
Boot's View Baseil on Error
The recommendations of Ellhu Root
for Incorporation of reservations In the
ratification were based, the Rhode
Island senator asserted, on a miscon
ception. Referring to Mr. Root's as
sertion that withdrawal from league
membership was handicapped by the
provision that all obligations must be
fulfilled before withdrawal, he said :
"It is inconceivable that the United
Utates would think of withdrawing un
less it bad fulfilled its obligations."
The provision for limitation of nrma
, meats, he asserted, Imposed "no moral
oblljatlon" on any nation to adopt the
suggestions of the league council re

It has been a privilege to co-operate

which Inevitably Involved the Interests
of the whole world. I believe with your

Treinier Lloyd George received a rousing
ovation when he appeared in the House
of Commons today. The premier had
been cheered by crowds on his way from
Downing street to the House, but the
reception from his fellow members In
the House eclipsed the cheers he -had

Then came the rumor, comforting to

'here would be no interference w itli the

Heer and Wlno Do Not Pay
This rumor, winch seemed reasonably
definite and certain, roused no enthu

elation when communicated to them.
They .said that it meant little to them
to sell beer ami light wine. It would
not paj them, they stated, to Keep their

An interesting or nhiriniug according
t.i the point nf view statement is mnde

they would not wait for the hour of
twelve o'clock tonight to take a final

I To Obsene Law
There has been no lush for table
reservations for the "wake."' Estab
lishments of the better class, where
food Is Fold with liquor, said they would
make no attempt to extend liquor sales
beyond tbe hour of midnight, and all
were resigned to a strict observance
of the laxv.
Cafe patrons will be permitted to
make all the purchases of drinks they
desire before the closing hour, nnd may
consume them at their leisure. But
when the clocks strike twelve midnight
the crash of glass and the locking of
doors will usher in the war-time pro
hibition act promptly.
Evidence that Philadelphians who like
their daily dram nre not preparing for
an unrestrained celebration is seen in
the fact that, as customary before
notable events, there has been no
reservations at the Turkish baths. At
the Keeley Institute It xa said that
the city has gradually been tapering
down on its consumption of liquor for
years, and that the dry wave, there
fore, xvlll not bring day-after sufferers
flocking to its doors In such numbers
as might be expected otherwise.
Hundreds of saloon men are In a
quandary as what to do with their
stocks. Doubting whether machinery
exists for the enforcement of the "dry"
law, they are debating whether 'to get
rid of the supply of liquors they have
on band at any price they can get be

; President will later lift the ban.
Small Ketall Stocks
In very few rases, however, are the
retail stocks large, and the aim of the
saloon proprietors has been merely to
have enough on hand tonight to take
care of an ordinary holiday business.
Philadelphia saloons have as yet
shown no Indications of rioting and dis
order. This was noted this morning
by those who expected that the last
minute rush would lead to hilarious
exhibitions throughout the city.
Contrary to expectation, the saloons
were little more crowded than usual nnd
it seemed to be the general opinion
among patrons that some last minute
move would prolong the life of their
favorite beverages.
Saloonkeepers, while expressing some
surprise nt the absence of the long lines
of clamorous lovers of alcohol, seemed
to share In the opinion that the actual
closing of their establishments would be
averted nt least for the present.
An eleventh-hour reduction in the
prices of their wares was offered today
by many saloons.

Whose Fault?
O
NE out of every four men drafted into
our National Army was unable to read
the American newspapers or write let
ters home. Out of 250,000 men picked as
experts in different trades only six in a hundred
turned out to be experts. Thirty in a hundred
proved to be without any ascertainable skill in
these trades. Robert Bruere has written a re
markable article for the July number of Harper's
Magazine in which he places the responsibility
for this failure of our educational system.

Continued From re On
September 1 Is the more conservative
guess.
Approximately 050,000 men mtist be
discharged, nearly 500,000 of whom
are In France. It will require, nt least
six weeks to complete the transporta
tion of emergency men, but demobili
zation will follow quickly the arrival of
the transports in American ports.
Doubtless no such Important law ever
went Into effect with questions as to
Its enforcement In such a muddled state.
The President's statement of Satur
day gnve rise to hopes for suspension
of the wartime dry act before constitu
tional prohibition becomes effective next
January, but It set at rest nil doubts
as to the statutory law going Into oper
ation tomorrow.
Medicinal Sale Restricted
Stringent regulations governing the
snle of alcohol for medicinal purposes
were Issued today by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue.
"Physicians may prescribe wines and
liquors for internal uses, or alcohol for
externnl uses," the regulations said,
"but In every such case each prescrip
tion shall be in duplicate and both copies
be signed in the physician's handxvrit-
lnR The -,mntjty prescribed for
single patient at a given time shall
not exceed one quart. In no case shall
a physician prescribe alcoholic liquors
unless the patient Is under his constant
personal supervision.
"All prescriptions shall indirate
clearly the names and address of the
patient, including street nnd apartment
number, if any, the date when written,
the condition or Illness for which pre
to whom the prescription is to be pre
sentcd for filling.
Similar detailed restrictions on the
sale of alcohol by drug stores were
promulgated. All prescriptions must
be preserved and once a month n list of
physicians prescribing nlcohol. the
names of the patients and the total
quantity dispensed to each patient
during the month must be transmitted
to the collector of internal revenue.
Pharmacists Are Warned
Pharmacists were advised to refuse
to fill prescriptions if they had reason
to believe that physicians were dis
pensing for other than strictly legiti
mate medicinal uses or that 11 patient
was obtaining through several phjsi
cians quantities in excess of the normal
amount.
Liquor dealers, who'enle and retail,
having stocks on Tinnd. may sell to
pharmacists holding permits until the
present stocks are exhausted.
Alcohol for internal use must pay
the tnx of $0.40 n gallon while nlcohol
medicated to render it unfit for beverage
use will be tnxed at $2.20.
Wine used for sacramental purposes
mar continue to be made in quantities
not exceeding 1000 gallons, if produe- I
tion nnd distribution are entirely under!
clerical supervision. It must pay the
