LIQUOR GOES; BEER REMAINS.
Washington, July I.—The whole ration awoke today to a realization of prohibition. The banishment of the eye-opener at the bar, long ago forgotten in many parts of the country, was all-embracing. Only those who had been provident enough to “stock up’’ in advance for the long drought or who could find solace in 2% per cent beer were able to carry out the tfcue-honored custom of starting the day with an early morning “bracer." Beer Future Doubtful. JVartime prohibition, banning for the lime being all distilled liquors and leaving in a cloud of doubt the future of b9er, was effective at midnight. Exemption of beer from the list of forbidden beverages came as a result of an eleventh-hour announcement by the department of justice that pending decisions in present litigation to determine whether a brew containing per cent of alcohol is intoxicating no action would be taken toward stopping the sale of beer containing no more than that amout of alcohol. Raya of Comfort. Thus, pending court decisions or action bv Congress defining intoxicating beverages sale of the lighter drinks will be permitted in states in ■which there are no regulatory laws until January Ifi, when constitutional prohibition becomes effective. Other than this the only ray of comfort left the anti-prohibitionists is the coming of the time when President Wilson will declare demobilization of the wrmy complete which automatically Would suspend operation of the wartime act until January 16.

EARTHQUAKE HOSPITALS IN FIELDS AND ROADS Florence, July 1.—In many places .hroughout the district visited by the .•arthquake on Sunday the number of injured has made it impossible to transport the suffering to hospitals because of the lack of proper means at the disposal of the authorities. Impormptu nurses have taker, care of the injured ones in the fields and along the dusty roads. Owners of automobiles 'have given great assistance, rushing from spot to spot and bringing help, medicines and bandages for use by the doctors and
nurses.
Rescue Work Is Delayed. In spite of heartrending cries from ruins rescue work at many places could not begin until necessary tools had arrived from Florence. Many are believed to have died under the debris I

The Hays statement is being taken by the Democratic leaders as the shadow of a coming event. At any | moment now it is expected that Hays may call upon his partv to oppose the League of Nations. At any rate, by the statement alone he puts himself in position where he can repudiate his many recent statements about partisanship in the League of Nations and begin playing the partisan game out-
right.
There are few if any in Washington who can tell tonight the difference between a “partisan issue” and a “party issue.” There is many a laugh at the Hays attempt to befuddle the people who have taken him at his word when he said the League should not be made a partisan issue. Reasons can be had for the Hays statement. Senator Borah and others

draw from the Republican organization and start a third party if such a step was not taken. Hays recently was denounced by Borah for the “straddling” tactics he has pursued on the League question. The third partv idea is being encouraged by a number of League opponents in the Republican ranks and Hays evidently has begun to fear the break. By his latest two-step he can, if he finds it convenient, concede to the Borah demands and save his party from a carrying out of the Borah
threat.
Relieved of this worry, Hays shoulders another. The say of the "straddler” has ended apparently, for now the chasm in his party has gotten so

He lived a plain and simple life, was an obliging neighbor noted for honesty, sobriety, industry and devotion to his family and home. He seemed to ;ea!'ze at the beginning of his sickness that he would never recover and often expressed his willingness to go. His suffering was intense until the last few hours, when he quietly and peacefully passed away. The funeral services were held June 30 at 3 p. m. from the M.
