dispatch from him today forwarded from Fort Yukon to the
Canadian department ot naval
The explorer set out trom the
north coast of Alaska in March,
1918, to drift westward on an ice
cake across the polar basin on the
theory that the currents would land
him on the coast of Siberia. It ap
pears from his dispatches today that
the ice cake on which , his party
camped merely carried them around
in what might be considered a huge
eddy.
Old Theory Upset.
In addition to upsetting the theory
common amorig geographers and
polar authorities of a westward cur

had resulted in the taking of impor

that history will repeat itself and
that it will right itself. I think
that all historical nrecedents have
been upset. ..Aside from the appall
ing loss of human lite and ot mater
ial resources, the late war has differ
ed not only in degree but in kind.
The vast portion of humanity has
been involved one way or the other,
and therein this war has been differ
ent.
"I am impressed with the fact that
in peace, as welt as in war, we
should know what the people are
thinking what the common man is
thinking about. I was astonished to
find that the interest in the great
events happening in Paris is com
pletely overshadowed by a feeling of
concern as to what is going to hap
pen in society in the national life
alter tne war; wnat tne relations c
tween capital and labor will be. The
most alarming thing to me, is that
there is a tendency, even among, in
telligent pepple, to say that the sub
ject is so vast and critical, that .we
should let it alone, ahd -wait and see.
I don't think that is a worthy or
safe attitude: ' - '
Solve Labor Problems.
' .'.'This organization cau do no bet
ter service to humanity than to
probe these economic problems, not
merelv from the viewpoint of capi
talists, but from the viewpoint of the
masses of the people, xou can 'nus
do an invaluable service' by using
your experience in studying these
problems. This- situation gravely
threatens this country, and yet I
would sav that this country is the
most happily situated of any country
in the world; and it trouble snouia
come, it would be the reflection of
trouble elsewhere. Anyone who
studies labor questions realizes that
labor leaders rely more on interna
tional action than on any other
kind." j
Sir Horace stated that the labor
situation' in the United Kingdom is
graver today than ever before, and
he related that the ship on which he
sailed .last, month ' was held for 10
days in port on account of a
strike. He -deprecated . the odium
which sometimes has been attached
to the word "politician." 'He con
tended that such a condition must
be changed, and that it is the duty
of all to see that only men of high
ethical, standards are allowed to
serve in public places. ,
Government Curbs Wealth.
"The time is coming," he con
tinued, "when the rule of life will
be that when a man has earned
enough for himself and family he
will not continue to pile wealth up
on wealth.
He added that the only hope of
passing safely through this period,
and to save civilization trom tne
' shock of war, is to organize
! altruism.
"Nothing is comparable to the
! growth of the altruistic spirit in this
country. I am convinced that there
has been developed in this country

Rush on Rum Stocks
As Arid Spell Looms
Washington, D. G. Feb. 25.
Residents of Washington made
the most of the few remaining
hours in which to prepare for the
long dryspell which will follow
the signing by President Wilson
today of the revenue fyll, one of
the provi'o.is of which will make
the capital a dry town.
Washington, in anticipation of
the worst, has been buying up
the available liquor 'supply of
Baltimore, its last minute shop
ping in the wet goods district of
its sister city having reduced
Baltimore to nearly as arid state
as that in' store for' the capital.
Twenty thousand round trip
tickets to Baltimore were pur
chased yesterday, resulting in a
congestion greater than -any in
the history of -the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad and the necessity
of putting three specials of 12
cars each on the Washington run
last night. Automobile traffic be
tween the two cities also ex
ceeded all previous records.
Community Service
Provides Socially
for Returning Men
The executive committee of the
War Camp Community Service met
Monday to investigate social facili
ties in the city for entertaining the
denlobolized soldiers and sailors.
Co-operation of home talent and
transient artists promise in the near
future to afford clever attractions
at the Army and Navy club. .
A keener interest shown by citi
zens in the success of the Army and
Navy club would be greatly appre
ciated by business men who sponsor
the club house for boys still in the
service and the demobilized soldiers
as well.
Attractive new posters have been
put up over the city fof the direc
tion of soldiers, sailors and marines.
These posters tell what is going on
each week in the city, especially for
men in -uniform; where to find the
headquarters of the Y. M. C. A., Y.
W. C. A., Red Cross, Jewish Wel
fare board, K. C. club and War
Camp Community service, Girls

poster.
Events that are of interest to sol
diers will be printed if given to
Charles Levings, Army and Navy
club director.

Several names are under consider
ation for the cabinet .vacancy,
caused by the resignation of
Thomas W. Gregory, who retires
from the Department of Justice
March 4, hut the president has not
made a selection.
Whether the president will ad
dress congress ' is believed to de
pend on the legislative situation.
Tomorrow night he will discuss the
league of nations in detail with
members of the senate and house
foreign affairs committee, who will
be his guests at dinner, and the be
lief is growing in official quarters
that the president will consider his
explanations to them sufficient for
the Jime being.
With many imperative bills still
awaiting action, it is said to be pos
sible that President Wilson may
consider it inadvisable to take up
any of the brief time remaining of
this session by discussing before
congress a subject on which his
views are well known and which
will come up for approval or dis
approval before a new body.
There was a full attendance at
the cabinet meeting.- Vice Presi

Foreign Embassies the Only
Oases in Dry Washington
Washington, Feb. 25. Except for
the foreign embassies and legations,
Washington went "bone dry" today
under a provision of the new rev
enue law withdrawing the immunity
which the capital heretofore has
enjoyed from the Reed amendment
forbidding the importation of in
toxicants into prohibition territory.
Hundreds of shipments of liquor
on -their way from Baltimore were
held up outside the district lines,
having failed to get wtthin the zone
before the bars went up. Foreign
embassies' and legations are extra
territorial properties and are not af
fected by the bone dry provision,
according to the internal revenue
bureau, although no formal ruling
has been given on this point.
When war time prohibition be
comes effective July 1, all American
territory will be dry except the
Philippines, which will not be af
fected until theconstitutional pro
hibition amendment goes into effect
January 16, 1920. All other insular
possessions or territories of the
United States already are dry under
legislative act or executive order.
