All Roads Lead to Fayetteville, North Carolina RUSSIA PUTS BAH ON VODKA ALWAYS Will Never Allow Resumption of Its Kale or the Manufacture. THE FUTURE IS AT STAKE Russian Government Declares that Its Sale Is a Great Men- . ace to the Future of Russia as a Nation A Hijfh Official Makes an Explanation of the Rule. New York, Feb. 18. The Russian Government will never resume the sal of vodka or permit other to en gage in its manufacture or sale. Af ter the war . the present extraordi nary measures affecting all l.iquor.i will be revised probably along the lines of temperance reforms in the Scandinavian countries, which make tax differential in favor of light wines and beers, because of their low percentage of alcoholic content. This outline of the future attitude of the Russian Government on the prohibition question is given in Rus sian newspapers that have just ar rived in this city. The RyeU-h, a Petrograd newspap-. er, reports a debate in the Duma in which the good faith of the govern ment, in forcing prohibition, was brought sharply into question, so much so that P. L. Bark, Minister of Finance, felt it necessary to reply to the attacks that bad been made. The debate occurred during the ses sion of the budget commission when the question arose as to what should be done with 85 million vodros (276, 260,000 gallons) of vodka now in government warehouses. S. E. Griasevitch, president of the commission, declared that the pres ence of so much vodka was a source of constant danger as the storehous . ps might be raided and their contents carried away by the thirsty popu lation. He was particularly appre hensive about the supply near the front and recommended that it should be destroyed. This declaration brought 'a left (opposition) deputy to his feet, who asked sarcastically why, if the min istry was acting in good faith and did nut intend to resume the sale of vodka, the government should keep all this liquor on hand, and why on ly recently it , had reduced a large quantity to -V' per cent proof. A sec ond deputy questioned the ability of the government to enforce pn.hibi tion and toll of a wedding that he had attended at which the condition of the guests was not tioticably dif ferent from what it would have been jf there had been no prohibition. He demanded thut the Minister of Fin ance, M. Hark, make a sategorieal statement to Russia. M Bark, in be half of the government, replied to the criticism of the deputies. "I find it necessary," said M. Hark, "to rnfgori;.!!y announce that all suspicions that the government intend-! to renew the sale of vodka, are unfonndwd. I categorical.'? announce that the government wi'l support pro hibition and that there is no chance of a return jo the former states of affairs. Therefore, I heat fily endorse the recommend;. ti.n to de-troy the vodka si-..!.. The question of permit -ting the sale of lUthi drink ha not received any final act'n.-n. 83 this mat ter it left in- the hands of the city department." (In a previous communi cation, M Hark announced that after the war. the present extraordinary means to enforce abstinence would be revised on consecutive line.) After outlining the future policy of the governmonti M. Bark told o' the extraordinary efforts to enforce'! prohibition. Prison sentences were j meted out to vondors of illicit liquor: ! drunkards were, heavily Tired, and I poisonous substances in denatured a!- I cohol. This nction was taken, he said, i against the advice of the medical board, whose members did not believe that it would deter the habitual drunkard. The Ryetch quotes a member of the Tetrograd City Commissioners to the effect that 119 Petrograd drug stores dispensed 504 vedros of alcohol dur ing the thr months preceding the law. g tve D.

U. S. WILL ACT AS A!l INDEPENDENT I United States Position Is Dif ferent From That of Others. POSITION IS OUTLINED State Department Official Gives An Outline of the Position of the United States Wants No Quarrels With the Ene mies of Germany, It Is Stat ed. Washington, Feb'. 18. It was def inite: suited today that the United States does not intend to accept the proposals of Sweden for joint action to end British interference with neu tral mail and commerce. The United States will continue to act independently in its dealing with the European belligerent. The State Department adheres to the opinion that the problem of the United States is different from that of the neutral countries of Europe. One of the high officials pointed out that their position as neighbors to the belligerents raises more points of conflict. For the United States to join hands with those neutrals, in the opinion of the officials, would be to make the United States a party to quarrels which she has thus far avoided. That is the State Department's view. The view of the neutral diplo mats in Washington is different. They hold that all of. the neutrals are in the same position. They contend that England has violated the fundamen tals of international law and has rob bed neutrals of every right of free dom of the seas for lawful commerce. The Swedish government is said to have gained a very definite impres sion from its repeated appeals for joint action that the United States has more serious reasons for it is desired to explain to act independent in refusing to join other neutrals in a diplomatic controversy with Eng land. If there should be any break in Swedish sources the United Stntes would not dare at the same time to be in a quarrel with Germany's ene mies.

IS DEBATABLE QUESTION Senator Lod;e, In a Set Speech Says Abondnnment of Princi pal Will Be An Unneutral Act Senator Thomas Repu tes that Statement, It Is Stated. Washington, Feb. 18. Democrat leader tonight faced the fact that their opponents in the Senate and the House have agreed to use the Germr.n admirality's recently an nounced policy and the treatment of it by theState Department, as the basis for the first of a series of or ganized attacks on Wilson. . Speeches mad today in the Sen ate by Senator Lodge; ranking mem ber of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senator Sterling, made the intention of the Republi cans plain. Senator Stone, chairman of the For eign Relations Commitec, declared to night while the question of armed merchantmen was a debatable one, the attempt to make political capi tal at the present difficult interna tional relations is a thing to be de plored. ; Senator Stone said that he would not only reply fully to these attacks soon, but at the same time "would make some criticism of former Sen ator Root's recent address affecting the foreign policy of the present ad ministration." Senator Lodge, in a set speech that had been written a few days ago which the attitude of the State De partment has changed, declared that "abandonment by the Unite.! States at this time of the principal that it fought for that its citizens were free to travel upon merchantmen of bel ligerent nations, armed solly for de fensive purposes, would be an unneu tral act and a step toward war." Senator Thomas subsequently re futed this .statement by reading in to the record extracts fr.-m recent oflicial approval of the new (ierman official approval of he new (ierman policy had been given.

Dr;i'OT A DISGRACE Chamber of Commerce Gels la Behind the Move to Have Nor folk Southern Trains Run In to Coast Line Present. N. S. Station Declared to Be la Deplorable Shape. Fayetteville may soon have a an ion station. This became know :t yes terday when Mr. H. S. Leard. a higts official of the Norfolk Southern, wast here and bad a confidence with the Chamber of Commerce in r--"-jrd to the present station being use 1 by the Norfolk Southern. Mr. Leard. how ever, could not guarantee that tb union station proposition w ill I e put through in the near future. The coming of Mr. Leard to Fay etteville yesterday followed a protest formally entered, by the local Cham tier of Commerce that the present pas senger station is in -poor condition and that there is need here for either a first class station, or that the Nor folk Southern run its trains into the Coast Line passenger station, provid ed an agreement can be reached with that "road, thus giving Fayettevillo a union station. Nothing Definite Mr. Leard stated yesterday even ing to a reporter for The NEWS that he could give out nothing definite right now regarding the union sta tion proposition. He declared that th business which the Norfolk Southera is now getting from Fayetteville doem not justify an expenditure of money sufficient to build the kind of station the Norfolk Southern would like to give FayetteviHe. He could not state definitely if tie) Norfolk Southern would run its trains into the Coast Line even if" the Coast Line should be willing.
