JAPAN WILL JOIN
DRY RANKS, CLAIM

Philippine Islands are going dry and
Japan will not be far behind, accord
ing to Dr. D. M. Gandler, prohibition
leader of California, who arrived here
from Japan on the Empress of Asia.
"I will not be surprised if prohibi
tion is the national policy of Japan
Inside of five years," said Dr. Gandier.
"The Philippine legislature now in
session Is almost certain to pass a pro
hibition law for the islands."
Dr. Gandler spent several months

in China, the Philippines and Japan
a,s a representative of the Anti-Saloon
prohibition meetings in the Kwaisel

POPFS ALLOCUTION
BELIEVED DIRECTED
AT RADICAL DANGER
, By Caniille Clanfurra
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Rome, Dec. 17. Pope Benedict's al
location to the consistory Sunday
while a closely guarded secret, was
believed today to have been directed
principally at bolshevlsm, material
and atheism. '
Efforts to learn the exact contents
of the allocution have been fruitless
because the pope is alleged to have
sealed the lips of his cardinals under
threat of excommunication. The only
explanation offered of this strict sec
recy was that, owing to the present
political situation In Europe, the pope
wished to resume the centuries-old
tradition of secrecy relative to the
church's treatment ui international
policies.
Past Word Significant.
Prelates connected with the inner
circles of the papal court called in
quirers' at-tention to past public ut
terances of Pope Benedict, especially
to the fact that as early as 1916 he,
In a letter to rulers urging cessation
of hostilities, hinted at probable rev.
olutions as the outcome of the con
flict, saying that continuation of the
carnage would mean annihilation vl
Christian civilization. The informa
tion was added that it would not be
surprising if, in view of the passive
attitude of some European govern
ments toward bolshevlsm and the in
difference of the ruling classes to the
menace It represented to the churcn,
the pope should have instructed his
cardinals and the heads of dioceses to
take the lead in an energetic fight
against materialism and atheism.
Missions Instructed.
Another subject, treated by the pope,
it was said, might have been that of
Catholic missions. In the last issue of
the Holy See's organ a letter was pub
lished which escaped general notice
because it was in Latin. In tljis let
ter Pope Benedict took the stand that
missionaries must not carry on na.
tlonallstic propaganda among natives,
should cease to be tools In the hands
of governments, and should confine
hemselves to religious teachings.
Twenty four cardinals heard the al
locution. The pope received two tele
grams from German Catholics, one
thanking him for his work for liber
ation of German prisoners in France.
The second, addressed to French
Catholics through the pontiff, en
treated them to advocate liberation of
the prisoners. .
Mrs. Etta Handsaker, one of the
earliest pioneers of Oregon and whose
husband established the first store at
Goshen, died at Tacoma a few days

Gasoline Tax For Month
Of November Orer $9400
The state tax on sales of gasoline and
distillate by the Associated, Shell and
Union Oil companies in Oregon dur
ing November aggregated $9,487.19 ac
cording to a statement issued by Sam
A. Kozer, deputy secretary of state,
Tuesday. This is a decrease of ap
proximately (2500 from the tax on Oc
tober sales and indicates a material de
e in the consumption of fuel oil
during the month. The reports of the
three companies filed with the secre
tary of state's office show that 910,291
gallons of gasoline and 78,857 gallons
"stuiate wer sold by their repre
sentatives in the state during Novem
ber.
