Paris.-The council of the league of nations received the first formal pro test to be presented to it almost be fore it came into being with Friday's initial sessions. The protest was from "the envoys of the elected government of the Irish republic," against "the un real English simulacra of an interna tional league of peace." Representatives of France, Great Britain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Japan and Brazil, members of the council of the league of nations met in the "cloak room" of the French for eign office at 10 o'clock Friday morn ing for the first meeting in the history of the league. The council organized at 10:30 o'clock by electing Leou Bourgeois chairman and confirming the choice N of Sir Eric Drummond of Great Brit ain as general secretary. ý' The first official act of the council was the appointment of a commission to trace upon the spot the frontiers of the territory of the Saar Basin. Leon Bourgeois, French representa tive, who presided, said: "The task f' of presiding at this meeting and in augurating this great international in r stitution should have fallen to Presi dent Wilson. We respect the reasons which still delay final decision by our friends in Washington, but express the e hope that their difficulties will soon be overcome and that a representa tive of the great American republic g will occupy the place awaiting him among us. The work of the council u will then assume definite character and will have that particular force which should 5e associated without our work. "January 16, 1920, will go down in history as the date of the birth of a new world. Decisions to be reached today will be in the name of all na tions adhering to the covenant of the league. It will be the first decree of all free nations leaguing themselves together for the first time in the world to substitute right for might. But the organization of the league of nations will not be complete until the assembly of all states meets." Earl Curzon, British secretary of state for foreign affairs and that na tion's representative on the council of the league, said: "On behalf of the British Empire I desire to express the loyalty of my government and the external domin ions of the British crown to the spirit underlying the covenant of the league of nations. It is our intention by every means in our power to insure its practical efficiency. It is our firm belief that through its instrumental ity alone we can hope to insure that such miseries as the world has exper ienced during the past five years shall not be repeated, and that a new era of international relationship shall dawn." M. Bourgeois proposed London asa the piece for the next meeting of the council, and this was approved. Lord Curzon suggested leaving the date and order of business open to be decided by the chairman and the secretary, since, he said, "it will be necessary to I consult the United States on a great manyquestions likely to arise." GREWSOME STORIES OF MEXICAN DEEDS San Antonio, Tex.-The Fall com- t mittee, investigating Mexican affairs under a resolution of the United States senate, Wednesday heard sworn testi mony of witnesses who described at times, with gruesome detail, the kill ing of Americans and the stealing of their property in Mexico. These wit nesses charged Carranzistas with these crimes, and charged further that the Mexican authorities have not punished the guilty persons, despite representa tions sometimes made that there had been arrests and punishment. Evi dence was taken to the effect that American Legion members in Mexico have been ordered deported by Car ranza officials, but that the world war veterans in Mexico do not propose to be run out, and, to quote the testimony of James J. Britt of the tank corps, who Was gassed in the Argonne and is now a lawyer in Tampico, "if our gov ernment backs us up we are ready to fire the first shot." He said there are 400 American Legion members in Tam pico. The other two witnesses Wednes day were George E.

France Hopeful for New Year Begins 1920 With Greater Confi dence Than It Did the Last. DUE TO DEFEAT OF RADICALS Elections Stabilize Internal Condi tions, Though Fall of Franc Is Still Serious Problem-Study Financial Policy. Parls.--France began the new year with far greater confidence than the last. This is in spite of formidable handicaps, such as the balance of trade running against her at the rate of about 1,500,000,000 francs a month, about 50 per cent depreciation of the exchange value of the franc and the consequent difficulty of procuring raw materials and machines urgently needed for reconstruction. France's renewed confidence is de rived directly from the result of the recent elections. These are regarded here as having definitely stabilized in ternal politics, ended all danger of revolutionary agitation for some time to come and brought about a better at titude by capital and labor toward the immense effort before France. Money is forthcoming for invest ments in anything that promises stabil Ity. While the investments in short term treasury bonds are continuing at the rate of nearly 2,000,000,000 francs f month, there is plenty of money for Industrial and commercial enterprises and long-term loans. The 4,000,000,000 franc loan to provide immediate resources for indemnifying victims of the invasion was oversubscribed before the official opening of the subscrip tlons. Important banks and Indus trial companies have lately increased :heir capital to an aggregate of nearly 500,000,000,000 francs. Big Trade on Bourse. Transactions on the Paris bourse, which still are confined to cash deals, lave exceeded on certain days records )f pre-war trading, when futures en :ered largely Into the totals. The up -ard movement of all Industrials which began before the signature of he treaty at Versailles, has been un hecked by successive liquidations. rhis is regarded by keen observers sere as a sure sign of economic re. overy. Employers say the labor situation is mproved and that the last strikes de 'eloped signs that the workers them elves were becoming weary of long ontinued disturbances of business, in ustry and transportation. They see tendency against frivolous dstrikes nd an indication that only real griev nces will induce the wage earners to ult work hereafter. Decentralization of capital and in ustry is seen in the establishing in Tormandy of textile industries to re lace thoseq in the occupied territory estroyed by the war. This movement as been greatly extended by develop. 'ent of water power in the region of he Alps and the center and south of 'rance. Industrial leaders say that o particular region of France here fter will monopolize any industry, and eclare that this scattering will prove eneficial and result In a more quable recovery of all parts of the ountry. To Transfer Industries. Powerful financial groups are at the ead of the movement to transfer im ortant Industries from the coal re ion to southwestern France, where ater power soon will be available. ther groups are being formed to de elop manufacturing centers near the rast so as to reduce the cost of ansporting raw materials. Indus trial leaders say that this activity on the part of capital, supported by the recovery of labor from what has been characterized as a wave of "laziness," gives a healthy tone to the situa tlion. Instability of the exchange value of the franc is regarded as one of the weakest points in French conditions. It is pointed out that France cannot pay twice over at present high prices for supplies she needs, and that is what the present low value of the franc means. The French government is now studying a complete renovation of the financial policy with a view to making such provisions to meet obli gations as will give greatest stability, both at home and abroad. Details of the new financial policy are as yet not disclosed, but it is understood that it comprises a large interior loan to take up all short-term bonds and floating debt, and important increases in all taxes to bring the revenues up to the annual budget, estimated to require 20,000,000,000 to 25,000,000,000 francs. It is not expected that any Internal financial arrangement can exert more than a moral influence on the value of the franc abroad, and this may be said to be the object of the greatest anxiety in official circles.

Meet Ethyl and Methyl Alcohol Two Most Prominent and Inter esting Members of the Family. MANY OFFSPRIN6S ARE KNOWN Difference Between Grain and Wood Alcohol Clearly Described-Fatal itles Due to Amateur Attempts to Make Grain Aloohol. Chicago.-While there are seventeen or more alcoholic products known in chemistry, there are two of general commercial use in the country-ethyl alcohol, or ordinary alcohol, the kind we used to be able to buy "for medici nal purposes," and methylated spirit, or industrial alcohol, which is popular ly called "wood alcohol," and which does contain an amount of that fluid. Ethyl or ordinary alcohol is formed by the spirituous or alcoholic fermen tation of saccharine juices. The fer mentation must be completed before it is distilled. It Is made from grain, either corn, wheat, or barley. This is also known as grain alcohol. The formula is C, H, OH. Methylated spirit, or industrial alco hol, is made of ninety parts of ordi nary alcohol and ten parts of wood alcohol-methyl alcohol. Source of Wood Alcohol. Wood alcohol is obtained by the dry distillation of wood. The common method of obtaining this is co take cordwood which has been seasoned for about two years-beech, maple, and birch are best-place it in iron or steel retorts over a slow fire. The intensity of the fire is gradually Increased as the d:stillation progresses, until at the end of from twelve to eighteen hours noth ing remains in the retort but chlrcoaL The distillate is passed through a condenser, and the liquid thus gath ered is allowed to set in tanks until the greater part of the tarry matter in it has subsided. The lighter part is then drawn off and saturated with slaked lime to fix the acetic acid. It is then distilled a second time and the distillate sent to the refineries as wood alcohol. Sawdust or any woody fiber or cellulose can be used in place of cordwood. Wood alcohol, either in its pure form or as an ingredient of industrial alco hol, is a poison, and has a selective action upon the optic nerve, in which it often induces a condition of perma nent atrophy which results in total blin"ness. For some purposes "completely de natured alcohol" is made by adding to industrial alcohol a little benzine or pyrldine to spoil the taste and render it offensive. Denatured alcohol may be made more cheaply than ordinary alcohol by using cheaper materials, such as any starchy vegetable sub stance, or a waste byproduct, as the poorest grade of molasses or the waste o: a canning factory. "It is probable that a good deal of the wood alcohol that is being distrib uted as a beverage is the result of the attempts of amateurs to make ordinary alcohol In their ignorance they use vegetable substances such as potato peelings, and, by using too intense a ire and making the distillation with out having first allowed fermentation to take place, produce methyl or wood alcohol instead," said J. H. Nusbaum, a chemist. Churcyhard as Playground. London.--"I draw the line at cricket and football in the churchyard," the Rev. J. M. C. Crum, rector of Farn ham, Surrey, told a meeting of parish loners, "but I don't stop them skipping on the fiat grave-stones. If I had a grave there, I would just as soon have little children over it as geraniums." Has Ludendorff's War Car Chicago Man Now Has Machine in Daily Use.

TEST NEW 'MOVIE' INVENTION New York Theater Tries Concave Screen, Giving Effect of Third Dimension. New York.-A concave motion plc ture screen that may revolutionize the movies was tried out at a local the ater today. It Is said to give an effect of a third dlinenislon--an appearance of thick. ness or depth-that relieves the eye strain. A group of scientists witnessed the experilment. Dr. Louis Perh, head of the faculty of medicine at the University of Mont pelier, France, the inventor, super vised the exhibition. Dr. Pech ascribes the relief from eye strain to his belief that the eye functions normally when it sees things of three dimensions, even if the ap. pearance of the third dimension is an Illusion. Letter Finds "Mamma." Cincinnati, O.-A letter written by Lucille Shepherd, thirteen years of age, of Osborne, asking Chief of Police Copelan to institute a search for her mother, Mrs. Rose Shepherd, led de tectives to find Mrs. Shepherd here the other day. The child wrote "they needed mamma to take care of her and her little brothers." The officers were in Mrs. Shepherd's apartment when a man, who said he was George Murphy, entered. He was crumpling a letter in his hands. The detectives say the letter was from the husband of the woman in which he pleaded with her to return to him and her children. In police court the cases of Mrs. Shepherd and the man were continued. Germany Accused of Taking 26,000 Dogs Paris.-The French ministry of agriculture has lodged with the commission of war damages a claim for 26,000 dogs alleged to have been stolen by the Ger mans during the war.

German newspapers say 41,000 more students enrolled in the universities of Germany than in 1914. In the year of the beginning of the war there were 50,000 students enrolled, while in 1919 there are approximately 91,000. This represents an Increase of nearly 2,000 each for each of the 28 national uni versities. In 11 technical schools more than 16,500 have enrolled M PROHIBITION IS NOW REALITY IN AMERICA Became Effective at Midnight e Friday, Jan. 17-Men and Money to Enforce Law. Washington.-Nationwide prohibi tion by constitutional amendment--the Y dream for years of those oppos(ed to t- the sale of liquor-became effective r- Friday at midnight, with the depart ment of justice and the bureau of in m ternal revenue, the two government ;e agencies intrusted with enforcement ;s of the new basic law, ready to take p" drastic action against all violators. n The final step in the work of en forcing the new form of prohibition was taken when Secretary Glass ap proved finally the regulations to be ob served by agents of the federal gov ernment. John F. Kramer, general proldbi e. tion commissioner, announced that he ,e practically had completed selection of y his corps of state commissioners and r local agents and had been notified by them that they would start at once en t forcing the amendment as provided in ;e the Volstead enforcement act. ig Commissioner Kramer said he had 's a staff of rearly 1,500 men ready for d duty. About 300 of these will work un d der the direction of the state prohi "r bition enforcement officers, while the is others will serve much as did internal e revenue agents before wartime prohi bition went into effect. In a few states the state directors have not been named, but Mr. Kramer had dele gated their powers to internal revenue officers, so the organization was re garded as completed. Mr. Kramer's bureau has $2,000,000 with which to conduct its work uatil July 1. The regulations under which Mr. Kramer and his staff will operate com - prise one of the largest, as well as I one of the most important documents r ever issued by the treasury depart ment. Its pages are replete with defi b nite methods for application of the at mendment and the Volstead enforce ment act; the department's interpreta tion of all provisions is set out plainly r and unequivocally, and no room is con sidered left for doubt as to what can and can not be done in the future. May Grow Cotton in Zones 2 and 3 Announced Houston, Tex.-The farmers within the area of South Texas comprising Galveston, Harris, Brazoria, Liberty, r Jefferson, Chambers and Hardin Coun r ties, known as regulated zones Nos. 2 i' and 3, and which were under quaran tine in .1917 for the eradication and to prevent the spread of pink boll worms, will be permitted to grow cot ton in the year 1920 under the same e restrictions as were applicable last year, with some exceptions, which will Sbe announced by the department of agriculture later. This information was given out from the office of Dr. W: D. Hunter, member of the federal horticultural board, in charge of pink boll worm work in Texas, where a meeting of the state pink boll worm commission was held Saturday to con sider what action should be taken in view of existing conditions. Further advice is to the effect that zone No. 1, comprising the greater portion of Robertson County, will re main a noncotton zone this year; zone No. 4, consisting of a strip of territory five miles wide along the Rio Grande, through Maverick, Val Verde and Kin ney counties, and zone No. 5, in the Big Bend section of the Rio Grande Valley, will remain dondotton zone, while zone No. 6, in the Pecos Valley, will continue to produce cotton under government and state regulations. As to what the added provisions will be in the regulating of production in zones Nos. 2 and 3, Ben F. Chapman of the state department said would be determined later and would be such as were found most applicable to con ditions to prevent the further spread of the pests and to carry forward the work of elimination to the greatest extent possible without the re-estab lishment of quarantine. Oil Pipe Line to Cost $1,500,000.
