In a statement given out to day, Mr. Roper says that the question of whether prohibition Is a wise policy is no longer a question for debute or contention; that this stop on the part or the people has been Incorperated .as an Integral part of the constitu tion of the country, effectlvo January II, when the prohibition amendment becomes operative and that all law abiding citliens will demund lis ob servance. "The American people have de clared through due process In favor of national prohibition," says Mr. Roper's statement.

With the corps of evangellNts and slnKers considerably augmented, it is possible to conduct evahKellstlc cam paigns in several sections simulta neously, and this policy is being fol lowed with marked success, tinder the directions of Dr. V.

In Ulr- Uy JOi: U HAKl.K. (Staff correspondent. The tii.en.) WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. The new Industrial commission named by Presi dent Wilson In November will recon vene January 12 to settle down to n lask that may prove of great and lasting benellt to the entire country. When members of the commission left Washington for the Christmas holidays, it was a creed umong ths members that each would give his. attention to the problem of Industrial relations even while enjoying his va cation, and thus, If possible, return to work In January with new ideas and suKsresilons. This commission has not souizht the limelight, but rather the members have tried to go about their work ouletly and without the services of tional policy is no longer a question tningham seventy-five Baptist churches tor debate or contention amonc rood citizens.

"The law exullcltlv im nne en forcement responsibilities upon all the. outers or me teaeral and state gov lernmenis, and their sub-divisions. It Is well that this Is so. for no one agency or single group of officers couia, wttnout the co-operation of all other officers of the law and all law-abiding- citizens, meet their responsi bilities In this connection effectively and satisfactorily. "As an officer of the federal gov ernment I can have no different standard with regard to the enforce ment of prohibition than with respect to the enforcement of any other law, and I shall, therefore, insist upon the same strict observance of this law ns we endeavor to attain with respect t0, a1' t her laws the enforcement of which is lodged with this bureau.

Both (he political and economic situations are believed herei tt have grown dully worse since early autumn. The holiday season found Vienna with a reduced bread ration, virtually no fats and without fuel. The export ed supply of coal from Ozocho-Sln-vakia has not been received, and public untllitlea were kept partly In operation only by great efforts and economies. High hopes had been entertained from the visit of Chancellor lionner to the supreme council at 1'arls. The people expected that Austria would obtain sufficient credit, food, fuel and raw material for the resumption of their industrial life. Now that the re sult of his Journey has become known the newspapers sound a note of de spair. One of them remarks that the decision of the supreme council that Vorarlterg may not separate from Austria means that that province Is condemned to suffer along with the rest of Austria until the ordinary na tive will have hardly sufficient for While Austria seems unable to ob tain foreign credit for rehabilitation, there haa beep much comment here upon the fact that foreign private capital has been diligently exploit ing the country. It is asserted that the country has virtually been stripped of articles de luxe, while Its remaining factories are tmntilo to obtain raw materials. According to common re ports, foreign Interests, principally Italian, have acquired enormous hold ings of stock In Austrian Industrials and mines. The government is evenly balanced between socialists and conservatives, and thus far has been unable to give birth to constructive legislation look ing to the solution of many internal problems facing the country, VtumE Nttfstt aa UovmtaJ.

He met several leading financiers of the city. Prior to nts visit the statement had been made by authority of the secretary that he would resign his cabinet port folio as soon as President Wilson's Health had so far improved as to jus tify a break in his official family. The president's recovery is reported to be so well established that Mr, Lane will be in a position to resign and coma to Baltimore on January 8, when it Is stated, a meeting of the board of directory's of the Fidelity company will be held to elect a new president. GOLF RESULTS ON PINEHURST COURSE whereby industrial differences that may arise in the future may be avoid ed and a better understanding reached between capital and labor, with the removal of causes of such disturb ances as have disturbed the Industrial life of the country In the past. Progress Made. While it is not the purpose of the commission to discuss its work at any length until a final report Is ready, it is shown that substantial progress haw been made and there is confidence that out of the conference I will come some program that will be for the appointment of the Indus trial life of the country. Altho there has been no official announcement of the various subjects that the commis sion has considered and will con sider when it resumes Its work this month, it is understood here that they will of necessity Include such funda mental propostlons as permanent tri bunals to pass upon labor disputes; collective bargaining as a principle: profit-sharing systems: betterment of the conditions of labor; respective rights of labor and Invested capital: co-operative agreements and possi ble partnerships between employes and employers. While lt Is true that the report of the commission may not' have a bind ing effect, if it is just In Its terns and Is supported by public opinion, lt is generally admitted that the work of the body will prove of inestimable ben- etlt to the country as a whole and prove the beginning of a new era in industrial relations. lt is estimated that the expense of j the commission will not exceed $26.-1 090.
