If such a tax is made legal, and beer and wine sales are legalized, under an amendment to the Volstead law holding them to be nonintoxicating, experts said, after the first year of its operation, consumption of Kuril beverages would attain such proportions that the Government's revenue might easily exceed $1,000,000,000 a year. Chairman Fordney of the House Ways and Means Committee, believing the idea practical as a revenue expedient. Is in frequent conference with his associates on the committee and with the Treasury advisers.

Alvin C. York Gives His Views on War and Peace World War Hero Declares Prayer and Fair Play Are Needed .

JAMESTOWN, Tenn., Dec. 20.—‘‘Every night when you say your prayers ask . the Lord to stop war. J “The way for nations to get along is to deal with each other as men do—who hope to get along—on the square. “Up here in the mountains when a man whips another, he doesn't jump on him with his boots. Nations should be as just.” This is the Christmas message of Sergt. Alvin C. York who killed and captured more Germans than any other American soldier. ! York, sitting in front of a roaring open fire, discussed the Washington conference in the drawling voice of a Tennessee mountaineer. York’s home today is a two-room cabin of hewn logs, jutting from the face of a cliff, deep in the hills of Tennessee. It is eleven miles from Jamestown, over almost impassable wagon tracks. WAYS CONFERENCE M IST BE FAIR. ‘‘The conference won't be a success unless it deals out justice to all nations. If it giv's something only to big powers and tramples little ones, I hope it falls through. “Even Germany must get justice. Germany was whipped, but that's no sign they should hop on her and take everything she lias. "Hut Germany ought to pay for every penny of actual damage she did." “How do you feel toward the Germans now?” York was asked.

G. A. R. EXPENSE FUND RETURNED Money Allowed by City and State Now Repaid. A total of $4,032.51 of the $19,300 ap preprinted by the city and the State to pay the expenses of the recent G. A. It. convention in Indianapolis were turned back to these two sources at the final tneetinsr of the convention executive committee at the Chamber of Commerce at noon today. The State appropriated $7,500 for the . convention and the city $12,000. The money will be turned back in the same ratio in which it was appropriated, sriving the State $1,734 NS and the city $2.030353. The money from the city never was actually turned over to the committee. hut the city paid approved bills, leaving the balnnace in the treasury. Pageant Will Be Repeated Fifth Time A Christmas pageant, "White Gifts to the Kins." was presented last eveuins at the Englewood Christian Church. Rural and East Washington streets. This was the fourth performance of the pageant, which was written by the Rev. J'. L. Davidson, pastor of the church. A fifth will be given Sunday night, the attendance having been large at all of the previous performances. A choir of one hundred voices and a number of soloists are included In the musical program' of the pageant, which represents the visit of the shepherds to th f manger of the-Christ-i liild. A few of the selections sung are: ‘lt Came t'pon the Midnight Clear," ' We Three Kings ..f Orient Are.” "Oh I.itrle Town of I’-ethlehcm" and "Silent Night.” \\ ii.i. announce jobs. The announcement nt appointments of courthouse employes, Janitors, custodians, elevator wen and heads of the various institutions will be made within a few days by the Marion County commissioners Carlin Shank, president of the board, said today only a few changes were contemplated In the courthouse staff He thought, however, there might be minor changes at other county Institutions.

. “I have not a thing against them today. It wasn't their fault they fought us. It was the fault of their military leaders. “No honest man wants war. I know what war is. I've been over there. And believe me, anything they do to put an end to it will be a great Christmas present for the common folk of the world. “I’m too busy running my farm, to know anything about international politics, but I do know what's square and that's all that counts.” WOULD GO IF UNCLE SAM CALLED. “Would you go to war again?” he was asked. “That depends,” he drawled. “I’d feel like it, of course, unless it was some squabble of other nations that didn't concern us. Hut if Uncle Sam called me, I would go. 1 never was a conscientious objector." In spite of his hatred for war, Sergeant York has a great admiration for Marshal Focb, his generalissimo in France. "It is the regret of my life,” lie said, “that I didn't meet Koch when ho was here. The last time I saw him was in France.” York refuses to be regarded as povertystricken or unfortunate. Many erroneous tales are in circulation, he said, about his 400-acre farm at l’nll Mall. There is no danger of losing it. Every payment has been made when due, he said. Tinnext is due Nov. IS, 1922. There is still due $-'.t;.57.50 with ti per cent interest.— Copyright, 1121, by United Press.
