Prospects of Dry New York Causes Worry In Broadway New York, April, 10. (Special) Broadway has long been considered the main line of trenches of the Grand Old Army of General Alcohol. His sturdy troopers have leaned over the mahogany 'breast-works and phil osophically watched the cold water artillery drive in the Western and Southern picket lines. Little worried were they by the evacuation of the Middle-Western out-lying trenches and the threat of flanking movement in the Northeast. "Let 'em coma down to the Bronx!" they cried. "They can sweep Jersey and close up Brooklyn. We can hold this tight little island for our own and accomodate all the suffering ref ugees to boot. It'll help business." Then came the war in Europe the alarming rear attack that has swept the belligerent countries into the Pro hibition Dominion.

"I'm afraid it's comin'l" said a dis consolate drummer in a Broadway cafe. "They'll be callin' this little old pike Sahara Lane before long.',' ' "Trouble is," contributed, atravel ler back from Europe, "the Prohis in this country are too blamed radical. They-re putting the lid on everything with a suspicion of alcohol in it. In Europe prohibition laws exempt malt liquors with low alcohol percentage. They're considered temperance drinks. Norway, where they've reduced drunkenness to a minimum, has the most sensible arrangement I think. Liquor with five per cent of alcohol or less is sold unrestricted, just as we 'sell soft drinks. Then for the fellow (who thinks he absolutely must have i real hard stuff, they establish in a 'community where enough signers re quest it, p dispensary backed by the government and run without profit. It is open only two hours a day and nobody can get more than one drink a day." I Railroad presidents are clamoring for supervision of railway securities, compulsory federal incorporation of interstate carriers, regulation of rates, a regional and functional di vision of the work' of the Interstate Commerce commission, restriction of rate supervision to not more than 1 sixty days, and giving the Interstate Commerce commission power to pre scribe minimum as well as maximum I rates.

As a result the net earnings of the country's railroads this last year were the lowest in his tory and new construction is almost at a standstill. Of course the public is the ultimate sufferer. We aire faced with food shortage due to congested traffic ! caused by inadequate transportation ! facilities. We are on the verge of i war with a railway system improper- ly organized to transport troops and! supplies. Sentiment around New I i one seems to favor the railroad men's proposals as a fundamental so lution of the problem. Tho constantly growing rush of would-be soldiers and sailors to the New York recruiting stations, proves that the old American spirit is not dead on the Eastern sea board. This recruiting brings out many incidents of acute human interest. One day last week Andrew Miller, a young farm hand from Hannover, Morris county, N. J., came in to one of tho stations, muddy, tired and per spiring. "I want to fight," he said simply. "I was working in the field when a feller came along and said the Germans hod declared war on the United States, and were bombarding New York City. I dropped my hoe and didn't even wait to get the money that was coming to me. Give me a gun and let mo get at those Prus sians. I don't need a uniform; all I want is a gun." Miller was told that war had not been declared, and New York was unharmed. "Well, here I am, anyway," he said. "I'm a little tired because I walked the whole twenty-five miles, but go ahead with your physical examina tion. I'm ready." Miller, who is twenty-two years old, explained he had walked because he had no money, and was too proud to beg a ride." "I guess I can pass your test any way," he smiled. He did, and ho is now on his way to Charleston, S. C. BE OPTIMISTIC. Here's Good News for La Grande Residents. Have you a pain in the small of the back? Headadhes, dizziness, nervous spells?
