More thnn 3,000 lepera out of the 5,000 In the colony on Cutlon Island nre now receiving treatment, 3,C00 of this number tnklng the ethyl-ester treatment, and nbout 300 the Mercado treatment, according to Professor Shir ley E. Roberts, vice president of the Philippine Anti-Leprosy society, who has Just returned to Manila from Cul lon. where he spent a month working among the patients. According to Professor Roberts the treatment has been extended until all but approximately 1,000 lepers In the colony nre being cared for medically. About T*K of these nre beyond medl : cal aid, and some 300 live at n dls j tnnee from the main colony, making ! treatment Impracticable. "This Is a record that I tldnk no other country can equal,” said Pro fessor Roberts. “When Governor i General Wood became chief executive of the Philippines seven months ago only 300 lepers were receiving treat ment.

BE ENFORCED Sale of Liquor on American Ships Will Cease at Once U. S. SHIPPING WILL SUFFER Chairman Lasker Admits Ruling Gives Blow To United States Mer chant Marine—Appeal To Court Next. Washington.—All vessels. American and foreign owned, are prohibited from having liquor on board in Amer ican territorial waters under an in terpretation of the prohibition amend ment and the enforcement act handed down by the Department of Justice. Moreover, the transportation or sale of intoxicants on American craft, wherever operated, was held to be Inhibited. American territorial waters were construed to include those not only within the three-mile limit of conti nental United States, but also those within the same limit of the Philip pines, the Hawaiian Islands. Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Alaska. The law would not apply in the Pan ama Canal Zone, as that sone is spe elllrally exempted by the statue It self. So far as American ships are con cerned, thp sale or transportation of liquor will cease at once, or as soon as those vessels reach their home ports. In the case of foreign ships the decision will become operative as soon as the necessary regulations can be prepared and promulgated by the Treasury Department. Court action looking to a final de termination of the application of American dry laws to foreign ships entering American ports was foreseen by both Attorney General Daugherty and Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board. Mr. Daugherty said he already had been advised that a case was about to be filed which would bring the issue to the Supreme Court. Chairman Lasker was of the opin ion that the first move of foreign lines would be to seek an injunction restraining the government from en forcing the law. He said it was rea sonable to suppose that the courts would grant such an injunction with a result that foreign ships would con tinue to arrive with liquor on board until there was a final decision by the highest court. The Attorney Gen ; oral said his department would co operate in every effort to expedite a ruling by the Supreme Court. Publication of the opinion of the Department of Justice followed a White House conference to which President Harding summoned Mr. Daugherty. Secretaries Hughes and Mellon and Chairman Lasker. Vari ous phases of the situation were dis cussed. Including the possible results of enforcement upon the international relations of the United States. High Administration officials ex plained that there was no course for 'the Executive branch of the Govern ment except to enforce the law as In terpreted by the legal department The interpretation was based upon recent decisions of the Supreme Court In a case involving the authority of the United States to interfere with the transfer of liquor cargo from one for eign ship to another in an American port. In a divided opinion the court con firmed the authority of prohibition agents to prevent such a transfer and. in the view of the Attorney General, went so far as to hold that the Eight eenth Amendment and the Volstead act repealed a prior existing treaty ; with Great Britain. Chairman Lasker predicted that enforcement of the law would operate : to an immediate disadvantage of the I | American merchant marine and would I make more necessary enactment of | the ship subsidy bill, if the American [ j flag was to stay on the high seas. HARDING FOR BRANCH BANKS. j I President Says Nationals Must Be Kept In Business. Washington. President Harding cordially indorses the policy of Comp ; troller of the Currency Crisslnger with i respect to the establishment of branch , offices by national banks. It was offi- I > daily stated at the White House. The Administration feels, it was i said, that unless Congress enacts leg ; islation governing the question the | Federal Government should never con I | sent to a policy that would put the I ; national banks out of business. Na ,! tional banks, it was contended, should i be permitted to maintain branches ! wherever branches of State banks are j allowed. SNAKE HITS SAWDUST TRAIL. _____ Richmond. Va.
