U. S. SHOULD GO OUT
OF THE DRINK BUSINESS
So Says Ira Landrith Today, And
Gives Good Reason For It.
(By The Associated Pre)
Altoona Pa., Nov. 2. Liquidation
of the Civil War debt, the only ex
cuse ever given for the Federal Gov
ernment issuing liquor licenses, long
since has been accomplished, and now
the United States should go out of the
drink business, Ira Landrith, the Pro
hibition vice president nominee, told
a crowd here today.
"You northerners paid this liquor
bill.' he said, "lou did it in lSb2.
We southerners were not in Congress
then. We can prove an alibi. You
said you wanted to meet the war debt
and von; -probably did. When Presi
dent Lincoln agreed to the bill's pas
sage, only with the understanding
that it would be repealed when the
war was over.
"The war has now been over more
than 50 years. The debts are paid.
We don't need the money any longer;
why we are so rich that we contribute
$50,000,000 annually, for just plain
pork. 'Yet you keep a white apron on
Uncle Sam, and use the American flag
to wipe off dirty bars."

Warning. .
Washington, Nov. 2. State Dcpart
nvnt oflicials are still waiting today
fur the German version of the de
struction of the British steamship
Marina with the loss of American
lives. They also were expecting afti
davits from American survivors on
which to determine whether German
pledges with the United States had
been broken.
A news dispatch from At liens last
night saying the Greek government
had been notified of Germany's in
tent to sink without warning all ships
carrying supplies to the Allies, was
regarded there to be of no great im
portance. So far as is known, the
United States has received no such
notification and not known whether
such has been sent to the other neu
trals. Such proceedure would be consid
ered by the United States as direetly
contrary to the pledges made by Ger
many. THE COTTON MARKET
