patch from Belgrade, giving" a plc- -J ture of the great misery which pre- -

vails in liberated Servia. The dis-- ipatch, dated Jan. 14, says in part:

"Belgrade today presents the as-

pect of a convalescent after u seri-ous illness. The population whichbefore the war numbered 100,000, isnow reduced to a half. Certainstreets and even certain houses havbeen destroyed, wholly or in part bythe bombardment. There is a wantof material to reconstruct them.

"Trade is dealing only In goodsof prime necessity. All other mer-chandise is available in very smallquantities. The prices in conse-quence are extraordinarily high. Asuit cf clothes costs $200, a pair ofboots J 50, hats $10 to $14, shirts$20, and stockings $6. In the prov-inces the f;tate of things is stillworse. All the children are anaemicand infant mortality is great."

"Long ago when I was young,as Mr. Llovd Georre has recalledoto vou, when I was traveling inAmerica and in England. I alwaysheard the French reproached foran excess of courtesy, whichsometimes went beyond thetruth. As I listened to the Amer-ican statesman and to the Eng-lish statesman, I wonderedwhether they had not caught inParis our national disease ofcourtesy. Nevertheless, gentle-men, I must say that my electionis necessarily due to the old inter-national tradition of courtesy tothe country which has the honorto receive' the peace conferencein its capital.

"I wish also to say that thistestimony of friendship, if theywill allow to me the word, on thepart of Pres't Wilson and Mr.Lloyd George in particular, hastouched me deeply because I seein it a new strength for all threeof ns to acomplish, with the co-

IEW BILL IS

TOO DRASTIC

Anti-Salo- on League OfficialsClaim Provisions of New

Measure Perfect.

Associated Press Service:INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 18.

A bitter light on the proposedWright amendments to the Indianaprohibition law was imminent todayaccording to expressions of membersof the legislature who remained inthe city during the Saturday andSunday holiday.

Opposition first is expected tocome Monday after the house andsenate are reconvened at 2 o'cloc'cin the afternoon. Unless Chairman

j

Wriuht of the house committee on;

public morals, which yesterday de-

cided to report the bill recommend-ing passage, holds up the report I

and calls another meeting ':f the i

committee to reconsider th. meas-ure,

!

this tight is expected to developon the i'oor of the house.

So drastic are provisions of thobill, members said, that they littlerealized on first consideration howtreat might tie the reaction thatmight develop on public sentimentby enacting them into law. Prin-cipal objection is raised to th- -

amendment providing for possessionof intoxicating liquor being primafacie evidence of a violation.

ehairnian Wright, however, claimsthat he has 7i votes in the house forthe bill as introduced. While mem-bers here today exprcsd doubt asto that number being for the --neas-ure,

there were those who believedthat number would support proposedamendments, if the need of themcan be shown, to make more certainth enforcement of the present law.

This is what oif'.cials of the anti-saloo- n

league of Indiana, who drewup the bill, claim the proposedamendments will do. They say theamendments also would make In-

diana's law harmonize witlf provi-sions of federal statutes.

Individuals and representatives ofbusinesses that would be affected byenactment of the amendments arebeginning to arrive here and to as-

certain just how strong is the senti-ment among members for passacr;of the measure. Legislators also saythat women throughout the state,especially members of the W. C. T.V.. are equally as active in behalfof the bill.
