NOW FLUSHED WITH VICTORY Practically All of Asia Is Open to the Propaganda, and Result May Be Bloodiest Chapter In World's History. Washington. The danger to the world from bolshevlsm was never greater tl)nn nt the present moment. The collapse of the Hiisslan national forces under General Knlchuk In Si beria and the retreat of General Deni kino's army from tho Moscow front arc regarded In every capital In Ku rope nnd In Washington as constitut ing a threat of a possible Invnslon of Europe, a certain penetration by the bolshevlkl In Asia and a menace to the pence of the entire world. Kven Prince Mlchncl Cnntncuzene, hushnnd of a grnnddnughter of Presi dent Grunt, who has Just arrived In tho United States, while hopeful that the Russian natlonnl forces mny still snvo themselves, confesses that their plight Is desperate unless allied nld renrhes them. "They have no shoes, no clothes, very little ammunition and very little food. If the allies wish to stop the spread of bolshevlsm through out the world they must come to the rescue of Kolehnk nnd DenlkiiiP." This Is the belief of a limn who Is fresh from Slberin and who Is optimis tic enough to advance tho opinion thai If bolshevlsm can he kept isolated In Russia It will wear Itself out by its own excesses. On the High Tide of Victory. The word "if" makes all the differ ence In the world. Hut the fact Is that bolshevlsm Is now riding on the high tide of victory and there does not seem one chance In a million that it will lie confined to Kusslu. Nearly all of Asia is now open to Its propaganda. The defeat of the forces of General Denl klne opens the door between Moscow and the Ulnck sen. The connecting mllitnry link between the former Kol ehnk and Deniklne lines lias been ob literated and nothing remains to pre vent the agents of the bolshevlsts from moving toward Armenia, Persia, Af ghanistan and India. Agents of the Russian reds hnve already stirred up considerable trouble among the hill tribes on the northern confines nf Indln and lirltlsh troops' a re now engaged In suppressing uprisings. As for Siberia, the red propaganda Is moving eastward rapidly.

"Drys" In Fight Since Year 1808 Growth of Prohibition Can Traced More Than Century. Be ADVANCE HAS BEEN STEADY Moderation Was First Sought, and Not Until 1847 Did Demand for Aboil- . tion of Strong Liquor Make Itself Heard. Chicago. Prohibition sentiment, cul minating In the epoch-making amend ment to the federal Constitution, lias been growing steadily in this country since 1S0S, according to records com piled by the board of temperance of the Methodist Episcopal church. At that time a demand for moderation In the use of ardent spirits arose, fol lowed ten years later by an even broader movement for abstinence from ardent spirits and for moderation In the use of malt liquors. This In turn gave way In 1810 to sentiment for ab stinence from all alcoholic beverages. Agitation for abolition of .he prac tice of licensing the sale of liquors dill not come until 1817, resulting four years inter In the enactment of pro hibition laws In Maine, the lirst state MARVELS OF SURGERY Taken From Rabbits and Grafted Into Soldiers Paralyzed by Shot Wounds Cures Effected.

Hob shevlsm must be suppressed If the world Is to know peace. Anil bolshe vlsm must he ended If the world Is not to become bolshevik. Retween It and the principles of government In other binds there Is an irrepressible conflict and one or other of these op posing forces must perish. A few years ago In the United States communism was regarded as a "Joke." Is It a "Joke" today? Two years ago bolshevlsm In Russia was regarded as a passing mnnla. Rut It hns not passed. It Is In Russia still and It threatens to overllow Its conllnes and plunge thu world Into another hnth of blood. Thieves Took Big Chances. Raltlmore. Md. Taking chnnces of being dashed to death, a pair of dar ing hotel robbers used n narrow ledge outside the Hotel Emerson to enter the fourteenth floor rooms of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Stutz of Washing ton. They filled a suitcase with fine dresses nnd lingerie owned by Mrs. Stutz nnd valued at ffGOO and escaped, carrying the plunder by the same dan gerous route, a single slip upon which would have been certain death. to put prohibition Into effect. Kansas was second, In 1880, and North Da kota third In 18S9. Meanwhile tho movement had grown to such propor tions thnt the national Prohibition party was formed at a convention In Chicago In 1809. Women, always In the forefront of the activity to stop the sale of alco holic drinks, organized for a concert ed tight after the famous woman's cru sade, I873-74. Their association was later to become known throughout tho world by the name of Woman's Chris tian Temperance union. Antl-Saloon League In 1893. Another powerful influence In tho fight for prohibition enme Into exist ence In 18n:i In the formation of tho Antl-Salonn league. It Is noteworthy that both these organizations had their Inception In Ohio. The modern wave of prohibition legislation began with Georgia In 1907. Since that time, the movement gained strength more rapidly than any other reform In the history of the world, so tjmt Xi states already have prohibition by state action, In 21 adopted by pop ular vote and In the others by legisla tive measures. At the time the con stitutional amendment was submitted, !M of tho -18 states and considerably more than half of the territorial Unit ed Stntes had prohibition. In states where prohibition was not Mate-wide, it has been adopted under local option laws by many communities. In addition to state laws, there have been in effect stringent measures adopted by congress as aldR toward winning the war, which gave a tre mendous impetus to the prohibition movement. Studying the examples of foreign countries, a law was passed making It unlawful to provide nny man In uniform with alcoholic hover iiiies. Making of beer and whisky was stopped under the food control act and the snle of drinks was terminated at midnight last June !10. Shipment of liquor Into any stntes was prohibited ey the bone-dry law. Ratifications Took 13 Months. The constitutional amendment wns finally adopted by congress on Decem ber 18. 1917, with a restrictive clause, hitherto unknown In legislative pro cedure, that It would be Inoperativo unless rut Hied within seven years. The vote In the house was 281 to 128 and in the senate 0." to 20. The ratification required only III months, the thlrty Mth state taking favorable action .1 muary 10. 1919. Frank L. Polk, act ing secretary of state, proclaimed the iiiuenilment hh pnrt of the Constitution under date of Janiinry 29. 1919, but It went Into effect one year from the date of ratification by the thirty-sixth lnte.
