Prohibition Chairman Urges Dry Nation in Letter to the President B._ E. P. Prugh, chairman of the State Prohibition Committee has sent the following letter to President! Wilson, urging nationwide abolition ! of the liquor traffic: "To Woodrow Wilson. "President of the United States, j "Washington, 13. C. "Dear Bro.: — "1 write you not only as the Ruler 1 of this great nation but also as a fel- i iow servant of Jesus Christ, the King j of Kings. One long ago wrote: 'The! God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, "He that ruleth over! men must be Just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light j of the morning without clouds, as' the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain." "I was much grieved by tlio ap-j parent cowardice of the Democratic ! caucus a short time ago, when, after agreeing to support the Howard bill! for nationwide prohibition, at the | behest of the liquor men of the fcreat' cities it bdeked down by passing a j blanket resolution to consider only l such measures in the present Con- j gress as were advocated by you as war measures. Thus although feel- j ing the need of outlawing the liquor! traffic the caucus shirked, placing I the responsibility making it a! war measure upon you. I pray God that, as His servant, exalted to the | presidency 'for such a time as this,' I you may have the courage to act 'in j the fear of God' and 'shine forth as I the light of the worning without clouds." "In the present stress call upon I Congress *o enact nationwide prohi bition (1) To conserve the manhood of the nation for the vigorous prose cution of the war, and (2) To con serve the grain of the nation for feeding bodies rather than for their destruction. If the Capital of the nation is dry for its good, why not make the nation dry also? "The King's business demands haste, "Sincerelv yours. "B. E. P. PRUGH."

"My new duty is' too big a proposition to discuss at this time." . At the dock Mr. Hoover was met I by Baron C&rtier, Belgian minister to the United States, who said he came from Washington to express his "thanks and reverence" for the, Belgian relief commission's acconi- | plishments in this country. • Food lladl.v Needed "The food situation in Belgium 1 and Northern France requires every effort we can make," said Mr. J Hoover, who does not intend to re- j linquish his position as head of tho 1 Belgian commission. "At present it i is one of extreme gravity on account! of t lie U-boat menace, which has in-| creased alarmingly during the past i eight weeks. Wheat and corn are! needed badly and also pork an f J; beef. The commission by March 1 hail struggled to its t'eet again after re ceiving the knockout blow of the submarine decree of February 1. Since March 1 we have lost five loaded boats but in March and April 60,000 tons of foodstuffs were land ed. But this 00,000 was 220,000 tons less than we actually required. Be cause of the shortage the mortality in industrial districts multiplied by three. The children, however, did not suffer. They are always looked after first. "At this time we have only thirty joats. AVe need seventy."
