DRY Hi SENDS APPEAL TO (HESIDENI

URGES PROHIBITION AS A MEASURE.

WAR

CAMPAIGN PLANS ARE MADE

The Indiana Dry Federation yesterday sent arr appeal to President Wilson, asking him to take some action that would bring the liquor question before the congress during the special session and make the United States "dry” as a war measure. The appeal was made In a resolution adopted at a called meeting of the federation In the afternoon at the federation headquarter*, 612 Traction Terminal building. The resolution set out that the federrfctlon had received word that the con-

stress would take no action on the liquor question at the special session unless President Wilson so desired. For Benefit of Soldier*. In vifcw of this decision, the resolution set out, the appeal on behalf of "1,000,000 Indiana citizens" was made. The country should be "dry” during war time, the resolution said, for the benefit and preservation of the soldiers of the nation, both in and out of the

trenches.

Details of the assistance that will be given each county unit in the fight to control delegates to the constitutional convention were worked out and It wp.s announced that within two or three days a number of organizers would be

aent to various counties. Choice by Counties.

It was decided that the state federation would make no attempt to name candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention, but that the county organizations would choose candi-

state federation, it is

every way to

dates. The

planned, will assist in elect these candidates.

It also was decided that no funds for

the prosecution of the “dry” campaign, as mapped out, would be asked from churches. The church has been overworked in making subscriptions to similar enterprises, according to the decision, and money would be sought through campaigns of personal solicitation. M. K. Risk, of Lafayette, was elected chairman of a finance committee. BEN PAUL IS PRESIDENT. Officer* Elected by the Indiana Laundry Owners’ Aasoclation. [Special to The Indianapolis News] TERRE HAUTE.

The English and French visitors here say privately that the creation of this Commission to visit new Russia is the most important step the United States has taken since war s declared. Next to this action by the United States government the visitors express the opinion that raising an army by conscription is the most important thing. It is pointed out that the mission' to Russia may have a large and very important bearing on the army situation. If. as now expected, Mr. Root and his associates are able tb convince new Russia that she must stand by the United States to the end of the war. and do this with an understanding that this country will assist her In capitalizing her great war resources the necessity for sending an enormously large army from this country will be greatly lessened.
