Senator Ho rah continues to
talk of the league as unlAmeri

that the United States will by

Wye shall not make a separate
peace with Germany.
We shall make peace on terms
agreed to by all the allies.
And then we shall go further
and preserve the peace as made.
This puts us into the league.
We shall be party to the adjust

The Scottish Communist out
break seems to have been a fliv
ver, but there is another kind of
tevolt under way which is de
clared to be growing in strength
it is the rebellion against whis
key. ! Those who want a wee
drappie and the ones who don't
wish It quite so wee, are putting
up a vigorous fight for their
liquor, but they are said to have
arrayed against them the power
ful vote of the women, who have
found an ally in the Socialist
party north of the Tweed.
Women are numerous in Scot
land and the majority of them
are counted on the dry side, the
workers for which are confident
that their votes will overwhelm
those of the sbipworkers. railroad
men and employes of large Indus
trial concerns who are faithfully
standing by the distilleries. .
One curious thing about this
whiskey ''revolt" in Scotland is
that the wets complain that it, is
being run from the United States.
They say that America is not con
tent to try to have finger in the
Irish pie, but wants to dictate
whether or not Scotland shall
drink whiskey. That is merely
frothy talk indulged In by the
wets as they blow their pewter
mugs in the public houses, which
is the Scottish name for what
Americans used to call saloons.

wets and yet claiming a consider
