DRYS AND WETS BOTH ANGRY Controversy May Hamper Ship Sub sidy Legislation-European Experts Meet at The Hague-Russia Is Recalcitrant-American Federa tion of Labor in Convention. By EDWARD W. PICKARD "B"l(;( ";r bootlegger In the worll" 13 Is what they are calling Uncle Sam these days-and just because at coholle beverages are sold ofn passen ger vessels owned and controlled by the government, outside the three-mile limit. The storm of controversy, which has its center in Washington, is amusing to the people generally, but it is a mighty serious affair for Chairman Lasker and the other members of the United States shipping board, who are trying to comipeto with the passenger liners of other nations. And it is likely to be equally serious for those who favor and are trying to pass ship subsidy legislation. Prohibition, like polities, makes strange hedfellows. United in the at tack on Chairman Lasker's policy are the Anti-Saloon league, the dry leaders in congress, the Association Against Prohibition nd such eminent wets as the men of the Busch family, brewers of St. Louis. Tihe Busch men, indeed, started the row by letters written while on a shipping hoard vessel 9n which dIrinks were sold, op~enly andl at mnoderate prices. Their wail, of coturse, Is directed against a policy that prevents their brewlng and selling beer while It permits the selling of German and IEnglish beer on govern mlent-Owned ships. The Assoc'latlon Against l'rohibit-lon insists that the Volstead act be enforced to the limit. In) the hope arnd e'xpectation that it will thus be pr-oved so unpopular that It will be rescinded. Wayne 11, Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, reiterates the league's p~osition concerning the three-mile limit, hold ing that liquor cannot legally he sold on -Ameriean vessels anywhiere, but ,he says the Busch attack is "'sImply an effort to discredit prohIbition mand create sentiument for the sale of beer," and lhe thinks the shipping boamrd can take care of Itself. P'rohmibit ion Coin missioner I laynes admits there has been a dlifference of opinion as to whether the Volstead act apliesiC to Vessels o)utsidle the three-mile limit. That is does not so apply is held by counsel for the shipping hoard, accord Ing to Mr. l.asker, and lhe adds: "Hot h fr-om the standp'i nt of legal right and fr-om the standpoint of the life and security of our national umer chiant m'arine thle shipping boar-d has permitted, and will conlinue to permit. the serving of liquor on its ships, so long as foreign ships arec allowed to enter and depart from our shores ex ercising that privilege." IN CONG RESS the results of the con Atrover-sy mnay be more serIous be cause, as has been said aulready, time ship subsidy legislation is likely to get mixed upi in the tangle. Senator Willis of Ohio, Republican, and one of the most ardent dry leaders, said it was about time for the "prohibit-ion navy" to turn its gtuns on the American mner chant marine, and that the ship sub sidy bill about to come up oltered an excellent and timely legislative vehicle for action to end the saile of liquor on ships operated by the government, Senator Jones of Washington. who Is just as arid as Senator Willis, but who is also chairman of the commerce committee, made energetic protest tgainst the Ohioan's proposal. He de <dared that the prohibition issue would .compliente seriously the ship subsidy 3e'gislation and. Imperil Its success. This Is also the opinion of leading Democrats in the lower house, where tore they are gleefully getting readly to after amnendmenlts to the subsidy evrwhr thoghu th6ln. h meu' p t u not be ai to sio nrs w o sl t d " a ' 'v:f" lquor nAmera sA ud t edicttld a r.

L~asker is able to maintain his position-that an Ame ican ship is not Atmerican territory after it passes the three mile limit thousands of thirsty and grateful Americans will patronize the shtpping board vessels. If and when he is driven from that position, the thirsty American travelers will transfer their patronage to ships that fly some other flag than the Stars and Stripes. P RESIDENT HARDING Is so in sistent on the passage of the ship subsidy bill, which has been re-drafted by the house committee on nerchant marine, that he has warned congress its failure in this respect will certain ly lead him to call an immediate ex traordinary session. The President has also let congress know that in his opinion the tariff is the most important matter before it, and that it should have undivided attention until it is disposed of. Then, and not until then. he thinks the soldiers' bonus hill should he taken up. 'McCumber and other senators who are pushing the bonus legislation showed a disposition to disregard this advice from the White House and went ahead with plans for sidetracking the tariff in favor of the bonus this week. They believe the latter measure can he put through without a long debate. F LAG D)AY w-as ohserved generally throughout the country and aiming the celebrations was one especially worthy of note. This was in historic Fort Melienry where was unveiled the monument erected by congress to Francis Scott Key, author of the "Star Spangled Banner."

First the attItudes of Great Britain and France must he harmonized. At present these are dliamnetrically op posedl. The British want Europe to forget the war; to (10 away with inter national dlebts; to coneiliate tihe van (1u 1shed staites and maike concessions to them ; to jolly soviet Russia ; and generally to base the new Europe largely on economic interests and com pel the smnaller states to enter into amgreem ents accordIngly. The French, as desirous as tihe British for peace and stable conditions, hlelhi-ve the war cannot be forgotten ;and that interna tional obligations should he fulfilled as far as possihle. They want the new ordler maintained by physi'alI force and the alliances re-enforced and gradtually extended to lncludle all of Europe.

The advisory board of the statQ bus reau of child hygiene held a full and interesting meeting in the office of the state board of health. 'Tle purpose of the, meeting was to discuss plans for the expansion of the program for the development of the Sheppard-Towner work. Two additional baby nurses, .iisses Ruth Moore and Laura Black burn. have been secured. One of these will develop the baby program and the other will have under her supervision the midwifery work of the state and will endeavor to see that all midwives are registered, and that they receive and carry out the instructions of the state board of health. Dr. William Weston of Columbia made a motion disapproving baby con tests, which motion was approved by the board. The reasons given for this disapproval were that baby contests bring out only the best babies of a community and are of no educational value to the mother. Dr. R. E. Seibels of Columbia was elected a member of the board and also appointed as special adviser for the development of Midwifery and ma ternity work. A resolution was passed to the ef fect that wherever county hospitals already exist or ave being contemplat ed obstetric and nursery departments be added. A committee, composed of Dr. J. A. Hayne, Mrs. Ruth Dodd and Dr. W. P. Cornell, was appointed to get out two bulletins, one on maternity and in fancy and the other on baby welfare. These bulletins will furnish general rather than specific information. Dr. Hayne said that the object of the Sheppard-Towner bill was for the pro tection of mothers and infants by edu cating the public to tax itself in order to protect mothers and infants. Mrs. Dodd proposed a resolution to instruct nurses, when planning baby conferences, to present first the mat ter to the county medical society and to ask this organization to appoint some local man to assist the nurses in the examination of the babies. If it is not possible for a local man to give his time, then the county medical as sociaiton should invite some baby spe cialist in to assist the nurses in these counties. The members of the board present at the meeting were: Dr. E. A. Hines of Seneca, chairman: Dr. R. M. Pol litzer of Charleston, Dr. Ashley Mood of Sumter, Dr. W. P. Cornell of Colum bia. Dr. William Weston of Columbia and Mrs. Ruth A. Dodd of Columbia. Commission Plans Hearing. Atlantic Coast Line trahs, No. 5 and No. 69. operated between Colum bia and Sumter, will be continued in operation until a hearing can be held by the state railroad commission on the petition of the railroad company to discontinue the two trains, accord ing to the annouicement of Frank W. Shealy, chairman of the commission. The two trains were advertised by the railroad company to be taken off, but protests from both Columbia and Sum ter brought the issuance of orders by the commission preventing the discon tinuance of the trains until a hearing could be had. The commission's sched ule, Mr. Shealy said, is now filled for the next three weeks and the proposed hearing, he said, can not therefore be held until nearly a month. 'The Atlan tic Coast Line railroad has been noti fieg of the hearing andl ordered to con tinue the trains in operation until far ther orders. No. 68 and No. 69 are local trains running only between Columbia and Sumter and if the railroad establishes the fact that they are not carrying suf ficient traffic to warrant their opera tion it is practically certain that they will be discontinued. The two trains, the company also contends, duplicate the service offered by other Atlantic Coast Line trains and their dliscontinu ance will therefore work no serious hardship upon the.public.
