14 CONGRESS PUTS 'WAR TIME' BAN ON RUM TRAFFIC Senate Clears Decks and the Measure Now Goes to President Washington, Nov. 19. Congress yesterday passed war-time prohibi tion when it reached a full agree ment on tlie bill lo stimulate agri cultural production, in which the prohibition provision is contained. Tile action was effected by the Senate, which receded from its dis agreement to the measure the House already bad passed. This had the effect of completing the parliamen tary proceedings and tlie bill will go lo tlie President for his approval on Th ursda.v. The delay in the passage of the bill until-the war actually has ended, un doubtedly raises the question as to the right of Congress to put through as a war measure a bill which would not he constitutional as a peace measure. The liquor interests thus have a substantial basis for disputing tlie Validity of the law. There is strong suspicion that the l>iil was field up until this very situ ation colt! 1 arise and that the pro hibition majorities in tlie two houses were enchored out of an opportunity to pul the nation on a dry basis when they agreed to'accept tlie in direct method of legislation adopt ed for the more direct plan of a separate hill. As the case now stands, the hope for effective nation-mile prohibi tion rests upon the ratification of tlie constitutional amendment now he fore the states. This ratification is certain, but as the amendment will not become op erative until one year after its ratifi cation. there is strong probability that the liquor interests will have more than twelve months longer in which to continue the sale of intoxi cants. There is declared to he some strong possibility that tlie President will veto tlie bill passed to-day. The prohibition bill is in the form of a legislative rider on the emer gence appropriation measure pro vidtn'g about $12,000,000 for stimu lating agricultural production. The measure would make prohibition et fective "after June 30. 1919. until the 1 ,conclusion of tlie present war and thereafter until the termination ot demobilization, the date of which shall be determined and proclaim ed by the President." GERMAN FLEET SAILS FROM PORT [Continued from First Page.] her trade. She now loses the best j part of her effective naval force. "On the other hand the British i fieet is still adequate and is not only ; as strong as it was before the war, 1 but absolutely und relatively strong- I cr than ever." | Publication of the names of tlie battleships and cruisers which were designated by the associated govern ments for delivery reveals that Ger many is stripped of at least half of | the fieet of dreadnoughts which it had in commission or building when 1 the war began and of virtually all of its battle cruisers. The dreadnoughts Kronprinz, Wil heliu. Grosser Kurfurst, Markgraf und Konig are of the same type, each 580 feet long anil of 26,000 tons. | They were designed for a speed of I 23 knots and had just been cotu- j pleted when the war opened.- They, were armed with ten 12-inch and . fourteen 5.9-inch guns. The Prinzregent Luitpold. Konig Albert, Kaiserin. Kaiser and Fried rich Iter Grosse were completed in'; 1913 and are 564 feet long, with aj speed of 21 knots and of 2 4.000 tons, j They also carried ten 12-inch guns j and fourteen 5.9-inch rifles. Available naval records here do. not show a battleship Bayern, but | It is regarded as possible that this i is one of the three newer dread- , naughts completed since the war i stated. These were authorized in j 1913 and 1914 and were to have I been of 29.000 tons displacement j With eight 15-Inch rifles each. Four Dreadiiauglits Saved Besides the craft delivered. Ger- | many had four older dreadnaughts, ; but their surrender was not re quired. They must be disarmed and j laid up in German ports, however. The Dcrflinger is the largest of j the battle cruisers, her displacement i.v.r.g 28,01)0 tons and length 718 | feet. Her armament consisted of [ eight 12-inch rifles and her design- j ed speed was 30 knots an hour. | There is no mention of a cruiser j Hindenburg in naval records avail- | able here, but this ship probably is : a sister of the Derringer, and ori- | ginaily was named the l.utzow. i Tlie Seidiitz Is a battle cruiser | of 24,60 tons and carried ten 11-, Inch guns. Her speed is 29 knots j and she was completed in 1913. The battle cruiser Moltke. a sis- I ter ship of the Goeben, nias com- ' pleted in 1912 and soon afterwards ; visited this country as the flagship of a fieet which President I Taft reviewed at Hampton Koads. She then was regarded as > one of the finest battle cruisers afloat, being 610 feet long, of 22,600 ' tons displacement anil 25.5 knots j speed. She had ten 11-lnch rifles In her main battery. The Von Der Tann was built in 1910 and has a displacement of IS.- j 000 tons. Her speed is 27.6 knots tin hour and her armament consists; i.t eight 11-inch rifles, ten 5.9-inch . rifles and many smaller guns.

W II.SON WOOIIHONV We hear very mi)ch about the con j lag ion of illness and very little about j the contagion of health, and yet if ! there is one there must be the other. Everything goes by opyosites: light, ; darkness; good, bad; love, bate; sour, sweet. If we are thrown con stantly with the sick we are very ivpt to develop ailments; whereas, if we are associated with those who radi ate health and strength we are al : most certain to feel like shouting with King David, "I shall leap over a wall." If we spend much time with those who are-fretful and complaining, who have a long list of woes and no de- reticence about retailing them, it is very difficult to keep our own poise and serenity and cheerfulness. Our spirits go below zero in spite of ourselves. Ou the contrary, if we are with those who are having the best kind of luck and' the best kind of a time, we become correspondingly light-hearted and feel that we. too. are on the crest of tne wave. I was talking to an officer of a transport ship the othbr day. and he spoke of this very fact. "Mental influences are strange things, aren't they?" he began. "There we are. a comparatively small group of uien (his boat does nor carry troops), and all cooped up to-i gether for days at a time with noth ing to look at hut the sea and the sky, and no variation of our regular routine. Now. I have seen this hap pen over and over again. One man • will get up in the morning with a dark, deep grouch. It's as catching as IIIP' measles, and presently another will begin to show grouchy symptoms j and thpu another and another until it spreads all over the ship. Then upon another day one man will come strolling out to breakfast evidently j enjoying the top of the morning, and before you know it we are alii as merry as grigs, laughing and kid ding each other. "1 often think." he coutinued, "that the people who do tne most good in the world are the ones who get the least credit for it. It is: usually said of them, with many headshaltings, that they have no se rious purpose in life, or that they are ' irresponsible or that they have no idea of making their way. remaps j tbev haven't, but we can't have ev erything, and what a leaven their laughter and spontaneous joy is to ! the stodgy mass of fears and dark' forebodings." Apropos of this. I receivel a letter In which a woman sets forth the his tory of a friend. She describes the girl's unfortunate life as a child when she was shuttled about between a harsh, indifferent mother and a drunken father. When they got tired of looking out for her they dumped her into an institution. Finally, when she was about fif teen years old, the mother insisted upon her marrying a man for whom she did not care. She led a miser able life with his Relatives who made a drudge of her. allowed her no free dom whatever and did not gave her enough to eat. After a year or so, she ran away and started out to make her own living. She Is still under twenty and her biographer de scribes her thus: "She never bothers about anything, I have seen her when she has not had a cent In her pocket and she has only laughed and started out to find something to do. She always gets it, too. for she is bright and capable; hut she gets tired of these jobs and won't hold them. She is always ready to help anyone and has stayed up many nights with those who are ill. Much of the'money she earns goes to buy flowers for the sick and food for those poorer than she. Ev eryone loves her for her cheery smile and the words of encourage ment she gives to those in trouble. "Yet many blame ner, because she ran away from her husband, and be cause she Is careless and improvi dent. Now. Mrs. Woodward, what do yoti think about it?" 1 don't think. What Is the use of having hard and fast opiniops about people? She seems to be living her own life in her own way, asking nothing of any one and doing a num ber of kind, pleasant thing as she saunters along. So why should any one go out of their way to shy a stone at her? I can't, I know; I'm too busy. She is evidently one of the world's "beloved vagabonds," and is, no doubt, excellent company. The peo ple who f 'ke no thought for tlie mor row always are. They are the child ren of nature, accepting everything as it comes, and they are full of the joy of life. They are apt to be a thorn, in the flesh of tfifeir families, but a delight to their friends. Irre sponsible gypsies they are, who can not be cribbed, cabined or confined. They wonder along life's highways, planting the flowers of their gypsy pattern as they go. Now and again they turn up at our hearthstones and fascinate us with the tales of their adventures. If it were not for them life would lose much of Its color and romance.

Thanksgiving Day to Be Day of Peace Prayer , , A- \\V. yV>-' * iW.**.> *s((*■ | , it t ■ m I-IKS V,:iCNIGHT , : Mrs. Virginia N'lglit Logan, of Os- i kaloosa, la., who lias issued an up- | •peal to (lie women of America, to i make this Thanksgiving Day a day I of thanks rather than a day of feast- j ing. Mrs. Logan, whose son, Fred erick Knight Logan, is the com- j poser of the famous Missouri Waltz- i Hindustan and the Hlue Itose Waltz, | in her appeal, says: "If the women I of America will cut their Thanksgiv ing menus in half, donating the bal- I ance or the-cost thereof to the feed ing of the people of Europe, a vast I store of food will be saved for the | inhabitants of the old world." FOOD SITUATION T OREMAIN SAME [Continued from First I'agc.] ment lias taken over huge Quantities J of the California edibles. One alleviating factor in the food J situation is the recent improvement i in transportation facilities. Lack of j transportation and congestion on the i main lines from the west and mid- j die west to the east, were respon- j silde last year for spveral threatened | food shortages. Meat, fruit and i cereal shipments were held up at t:s;es to the point that they caused | sudden rises in local prices. Diffl- j culties like these are not expected , during the coming winter. Staples in Plenty . j Deans, cereals and numerous other j staples are not expected to be in-1 creased in price, and average ship ments are expected. Potatoes are] reported plentiful to the point that j there has been a recent drop in pi ice. j The word of warning issued thisj morning was, that while there will be j no food shortage, still the coming | of peace will not abrogate the neces sity for feeding the American Army, ! the allied peoples, the Russians to a j certain extent, and even the Germans themselves. For that reason, a con- ! finued high rate of food prices is al- j most certain for the coming winter, at least, it was said. ' PLAN TO HURRY COAL SHIPMENTS ON THE READING | Furl Situation Grows Worse After One Good Month j The fuel committee of Dauphin ! county will hold a meeting in the | office of the Central Coal Exchange j i this afternoon to see if shipments of domestic size anthracite over the Philadelphia and Heading Railroad can be Increased. The Heading Coal and Iron Company is reported to bo l shipping considerably less anthracite I than its allotment. Coal dealers this morning agreed j that the situation in the city Is such j that a few days of cold weather | would bring a clamoring for coal j from numerous householders. '1 ho | dealers with the aid of the Central , Coal Exchange and the Fuel Admtn- I istration have tried as far as pos sible to place a few tons of coal in I every cellar where coal has been or ; dered by the householder. At first I an attempt was made to (111 each or | del to two-thirds its tonnage, but coal shipments to the dealers did not | permit flie practice to be continued, j Enough coal has been sent to most i householders to see them over a | short period of cold weather, but j it is thought that the supply would i be quickly depleted with a real cold | spell. I Consumers in Hurrisburg ordered j 154,654 tons of coal from April 1 | until November 1. Eighty-one thou | sands, four hundred and two tons of thut amount was delivered before November 1, and about 5,000 tons I during November. Approximately j 100,000 tons is the city's allotment, | it was said at the coal exchange this ! morning. During October, more than 15,000 | tons were shipped into the city, ! which was the most encouraging month in years. Dealers agree, ltow , ever, thut the situation now is gloomy, and thut their yards are ni- I most devoid of coal. It was estl l mated there are alwntt 5,000 tons | in the city to-day of the five dornes ; tic sizes, broken, egg, stove, nut and i pea. I'nfiUed orders amount to 73,- | 252 tons. , War Has Cost Two Hundred Billions Washington, Nov. 19.—Direct cost of the war for all belligerent nations ! to last May I was reported at about I $175,000,000,000 by the Federal re ' serve hoard bulletin, yesterday. It jis estimated that cost will j amount to nearly $200,000,000 be fore the end of the yean For purely military and naval pur | poses all belligerents spent about $132,000,000,000 to May 1, or about I three-fourths of the total war cost, i The balance represents interest on | debt and -other indirect war ex- I penses. | About $150,000,000,000 of the total war cost has be n raised by war | loans aiul comparatively little by : taxation. Hereafter the annual bur den of the seven principal belliger ' ents to pay interest and sinking fund I allowances will he not less than j $10,000,000,000, and probably much more.
