WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—~That the
United States may mnave <o float a
$7,000,000,000 ‘““Victory’ bond issue, in
sddion to the billions already raised
theough Liberty bond issues, was indi
cated by Secretary McAdoo when he
appeared at an executive session of the
House ways and means commiliee this
arternoon’ to urge that America's allies
be granted an additional loan of a bik
lion and a half, members of the commit
tee afterward said.
A “Victory” bond issue of $5,500,000,-
000 as early as next spring would prob
ably be necessary if the United States 1s
to meet its war and reconstruciion obli
gations, the Secretary also intimated,
those members added.
The Secretary discussed the proposed
$1,600,000,000 additional loans to the Al
lies along mMuch the lines he pursued in
his recent letter on the subject to Chair
man Kitchin, of the eommittee.
Members of the committee stated that
thera was a disposition among them not
to take any action on the loan until
after the peace conference,

GREENVILLE, PA., Dec. 12.—As John
Lawrence, stricken with apoplexy, lay
on his deathbed speechless he would
extend his right hand with the fingers
outstretched. This was accepted by
Mrs. Lawrence as a ’premonltinn that
five members of the family would die.
Following Lawrence’'s death there came
in rapid succession the deaths of Mrs.
Lawrence’'s sister, a son and a nephew.
Then word was received of the death
in France of another son. All the deaths
took place within two weeks.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
arns us to be constantly on guard
inst kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid, |
‘lbut become weak from the over
work; they get sluggish; the ellml-l
ative tissues clog an:l thus the|
te is retained «in the blood tol
ison the¢ entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel]
e lumps of lead, and you have
3 ging pains in the back or the{
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or|
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek rellef during the night;
when you have severe headaches,
nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless
ess, acid stomach or rheumatism ini
weather, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jadl
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a|
glass of water before breakfast each|
morning and in a few days your kld-l
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and;
lemon juice, combined with lithia,|
d has been used for generations to|

to neutralize the acids in urine so it'
is no longer a source of irritation,!

‘ WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Liquor
'stocks are falling low. A rush RWy-the
holders of bonded spirits to get them
jout before the nation-wide dry spell
sets In is making deep inroads into the
available holdings in Government ware
houses, which represent all that are
left.
~ Stocks of distilled spirits have fallen
to 130,000,000 gallons, the lowest figure
‘ever recorded in modern times. This
includes 12,000,000 gallons of raw alco
;hol, which is not fit for beverage uses,
g 0 that the stocks of whisky, rum,
brandy and other spirits are but 118,-
000,000 gallons,
Small Withdrawal Last Year,
In the year ended June 30, nine
months of which came under the dis
tilling ban, only 87,787,828 gallons were
withdrawn from bond for beverage pur
poses. This is the lowest figure for any
fiscal year of the present century and
is but little over half of the withdraw
als for the previous year.
In October withdrawals totaled 8,500,-
000 gallons and since November 1 they
have been 11,500,000 gallons.
In the last fiscal (ear 90,000,000 gal
lons of distilled nglr ts were withdrawn
from bonded warehouses for denaturiza
zation for industrial purposes. Stocks
at the beginw of the fiscal year were
only 158,000, gallons. llf 95,000,000
galions are withdrawn for industrial
purposes this year only 68,000,000 will be
left over for beverage uses.
Will Be Privately Held.
Withdrawals of such heavy quantities,
however, does not mean that lic%xor will
disappear, but it is probable by tnau
time the only available stocks will be
in private hands.
Early in the present year figures were
given showing that under the trend at
that time the available public stocks of
whisky would disappear late next sum
mer. The rush that has developed
probably will advance the date several
months when the nation will go dry.
Government officials here say that
beer stocks will be all gone before that
time under the orders prohibiting brew
ing.

PATRIOTIC SONG CONTEST CLOSES DECEMBER 31
HIS is the last month of the patriotic song contest being conducted
by the Hearst newspapers throughout the country. No manu
script will be considered which is mailed after midnight,
December 31st.
Five thousand dollars in prizes are offered for the best patriotic
song written by our readers. The first prize is $2,000; second, $1,000;
third, $500; fourth, $300; fifth, S2OO, and ten prizes of SIOO each.
/ Thousands of manuscripts have been already recetved from known
and unknown aaithors. Everybody is invited to participate 4n the con
test. The object is to get a song that will express the patriotic senti
ment of the nation and stir the pulse of prosterity.
The rules of the contest follow:
Songs will be judged by a national committee of famous song
writers and composers.
Plans for a definite part in demobil
ization-of the natiow s fighting forces,
with a discussion of the matter of re
lating the soldiers to various work in
their own communities, occupied first
place in the conference of the Y, M. C.
A, camp secretaries of the Southeastern
Department in Atlanta Thursday. The
keynote of the gproject was sounded by
E 8. Mowbm{pdepartment director of
motion pictures, in the words:
“We will bend every effort and every
means at our disposal to developing the
men’'s capabilities. By presentations of
‘existing conditions we hope through our
organization to lead the men Into a
}lort of broadening process, a realigation
of their opportunities in peace times.”
~ More than 40 camp secretaries have
been present at the conference sessions
which have been held at the t‘ongreiz\-
tional Church with S. A, Ackley, of At
lanta, executive secretary of the South
eastern Department, presiding. Canton
ments and naval bases in the States of
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee had representatives at
the conference. That there wil! e N\
material letting down in work of the
Y. M. C. A, and no sudden décrease in its
personnel, but rather that a whole
hearted turning to the work of recon
struction was indicated.
Already executive heads of the depart
ment, acting according to instructions
from the New .York headquarters, are
making arrangements to obtain speakers
of national reputation to present the
situation to the men who will soon don
civilian attire and become an integral
part of the nation's productive force.
It is certain that at least six such
speakers will be obtained for the South
eastern Department, probably men of
such caliber as William Howard fTaft
and Dr. Ira Landrith, who have been
noted for their efforts ulong similar
lines. Special emphasis will be placed
on the import of ‘“good citizenship”
and all that the phrase entails.
This work, which will occupy all the
departments of the Y. M. C. A., will be
directly in charge of Dr. T. A. Wig
gington, department religious secretary,
and A. M. Souby, head of the Southeast
ern educational work. In connection
with the new program an intensive mo
tion picture campaign will be inaugu
rated. An hour a day for each man
during which he may attend one of the
“reconstruction meetings' had been pro
vided for in several instances by camp
orders.
Even though the number of men in
the military centers is in many cases
appreciably smaller than heretofore, the
work, if anything, has increased so far
as the Y. M. C. A, secretaries are con
cerned. Statistics introduced at thol
conference prove concluslvehy that the
huts are being used more, and that there ‘
is a more constant demand for the ath
letic e%uipmpnt. ‘
At l(lj conclusion of the Iluncheon
given delegates to the Y. M. C. A. camp
secretaries’ conference at the Hotel
Ansley Thursday noon, 8. A. Ackley, of
Atlanta, executive secretary of the
Southeastern department, was presented
with a silver vase. The token, presented
by the attending representatives, was
inscribed “To Our Chief' and was a
mark of appreciation of the efforts of
Mr. Ackley in the furtherance of the
work in the camps and naval centers in
the dlstrict. |

Withers an Aristocratic Family of
Virginia.
It was often the case In colonial days
that the most distinguished families
showed the least concern nbgut matters
genealogical. Free from the fraditions of
the mother country, it would seem as if
these daring-golonists and pioneers cared
little for family distinctions, and even
when they had much to be justly proud
of 'by way of aristocratic relatives-back
in old England, they thought little about
such matters. So busy were they in
finding a home for themselves and their
progeny that they had littie time to
consider the honors handed €own to
them by their ancestors.
Quite naturally the Virginia family of
Withers were of excellent connectipn in
the Old World, still the family records
are sadly lacking. The coat-of-arms be
longing to this family here depieted is
known to have been ‘‘granted to and
confirmed to Sir Richard Withers, of
East Sheen, the ancestor of the poet.‘
and registered in the college of ums.‘
London.”
The coat-of-arms is deseribed thus:
Argent a chevron, ’Fules. between three
crescents sable, he crest is a rhi
noceros or. It is said that the first set
tler of the name came from Lancaster,
England, and settled in Stafford, Va.
There seems to have been a James
'Withers, who came to Vlrginla about
1609, He had an only son, James, who
had six children: John, James,, Benja
min, George, Peggy and Hannah.
John and Benfir}nln migrated to Ken
tucky. James married Susan Waller
and George married Betsy Scanlon.
A. W. Withers, of Gloucester County,
Virginia, to whom the preservation of
the coat-of-arms is due, was the son of
Dunham Withers, the son of Reuben
Withers, who was born in Kentucky,
removed to Alexandria, and finally in
1816 settled in New York City. Reuben
was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth
Bonham Withers, of the Virginia family
of the name.

WITH THI AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION IN GERMANY,
Dec. 9 (by courier to Nanoy).—Amer
fcan troops that were rushed to Co

authorities are maintaining perfect
order, with sentries guarding the
Rhine bridges. the lighting and water
plants, banks, rallroads and other
strategic peints in the absence of eivil
police.
The entrance of the doughboys at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon wag en
tirely devoid of demonstration. There
were few spectators and a consple-,
uous silence, |
The AmericAns compose the Second
FBattalion of the Thirty-ninth Regi
ment of the Fourth Infantry Division,
and their soldierly bearing greatly
impressed the Germans.
See Beautiful Scenery.
The long train which took the‘
doughboys from Treves to Coblenz
wvas trailed by a great string of'i
freight cars bearing suppliés, ammu
nition and equipment. The route lay
up the Moselle Valley and the Amer
icans got a glimpse of some of the
finest scenery in the world.
As the train passed through vil
lages many women and children gath
ered with curious stares for the
strange troops. Some of the young#
sters timidily waved their caps. ‘
The Second Battalion is commanded
by Major Fred W. Hackett, of Cham
plain, N. Y. When the troops reached
Cohlenz they found a dslegation of
German officers and soldiers drawn
up in theé barracks yard as the Yan

“Have It Charged”
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1918,
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec, 12.—~The
charge that Congress, by enacting a
revenue bill to raise only six billion
dollars, probably is doing more than
any other agency to spread Bolshev
ism in the United States, was made
today to Senaters and Representa
tives in a letter by Benjamin C.
Marsh, secretary of the farmers’' na
tional committee on war finance.
Marsh insisted that the present
revenue measure should be raised at
least $12,000,000,000 this year from
heavy levies and war profits and
large incomes.
“It is literally unthinkable,” Marsh
wrote, “that the Congress should agree
to a proposition to saddle more of
the cost of this war, which has been
a prolific breeder of millionaire¢, upon
the workers of the country in order
that these few thonsand wealthy men
may augment their unearned incomes
and already huge fortunes out of this
war.”
Marsh described the “concentration
of wealth, due to privilege,” as a
“continuing menace.”
“For the Congress of the United
States to enact a revenue measure
which will raise less than $6,000,000,-
000 would probably do more than any
other single thing to spread Bol
shevism_here,” Marsh sald, “because
it would serve notice upon the Amer
ican people that the interests of the
privileged and wealthy classes of the
coyntry are regarded by Congress as
paramount to the rights of the peo
ple.” .
