It was 10 old “exemption.” permitting the manuficture of wine in the home to he extent of 200 gallons. Thousands of these “exemptions” which were have heen aholished and d for no renewals ;i Andrews and his adviser the prohibition unit are making a horough investigation of every regu lation which has been promuigated for the enforcement of prohibition since it became effective on January 16, 1928 { In this process new restrictions | already been thrown around several hases of the manufacture and han-| lling of dlcoholic liquors, and it is un- | derstood that from the siudy now in process Andrews will issue from time | to time an indeterminate number of additional regulations designed fur- | D exlsienc orders jssi Gen n [ ther to rurtafl the bootleg supply Whether the Government ceed will sue in enforcing prohibition under the new regime in such fashion as to head off the deiuge of anti-prohibition criticism which has been coming from quarters opposed to the eighteenth amendment remains a question, the nswer to which will be learned some me in the future. It is admitted by and the “drys” of altering both the that agitation in favor the Volstead act has in creased largely within the past few months. Both the Association Against Prohibiton Amendment and the Saloon League, ontstanding rep atives of the two opposing <. are girding themseives for the fight which- unguestfanably looms on the horizon of the coming Congress.

Congress, the “drys” claim, will not make America wetter, but dryer. So the battle between the opposing forces, which has been conducted through public speech, investigation, attack, counterattack and propa ganda, doubtless will be precipitated to the committees and floors of Con Kre: while Gen. Andrews drive: ahead with his new campalgn to dry up the Natlon, if possible. A brief survey of the “wets much-dis back to record that the eighteenth amendment became effective January 16, 1920. This date is now accepted officially as the birth of prohibition in America, although tha Volstead act was passed over President Wilson s vetn much earlier. Tha House passed this legislation over the veto on Oc tober 27, 1919, and the Senate did the same thing the next day. War-time Prohibition. Although the real birth of prohlbi tion is officially listed in January, 1920, a warstime prohibition act went into effect _about slx months earlier, or July T, 1919. There was no lapse be tween the war-time legislation and the Volstead act effective date. Under a policy approved by the President for revised enforcement Gen. Andrews entered the scene of action last April 1. Since that time this retired Army officer, who I demonstrated far more vigor than usually is expected from any retired person. has been head over heels in his big job of co-ordinating all Fede zencles for the enforcement of pro- hibition, including the customs, the Coast Guard and the prohibition unit particularly the prohibition unit. atter outfit is the one which has received by far the greater part of Gen. Andrews’ attentlon—in fact, he has admitted that it has occupled over 90 per cent of his time, 8o as to preclude his giving as much attention as he would like to the other two arms of the Fedeial service. Driving at what was admitted to be double authorjty, overlapping dis. tricts and double responsibility in the old svstem. Gen. Andrews aholished the dual program of State directors and substituted 19 district ohiefs of general prohibltion agents, operating under a prohibition commissioner: carved out 22 nmew districts, in which he placed prohibtion administrators, and then placed in the hands of these administrators practically unlimited in many phases, including principally enforcement and permis- sive work. The business of prohibition enforce- ment was forcibly decentralized. One of the principal features transferred from headquarters to the hands of the administrators in the field was . the authority over alcohol permits, for the legitimate manufacture and use of all kinds of alcohol. Control of the alcohol already stored or freshly manufactured in legitimate industry s admitted to be one of the blg problems of prohibition, and is now being attacked from many angles. Regulations already 1issued include the sweeping away of the ‘“exemp- tion" for manufacture of 200 gallons | of wine in the home and changing all basic permits to an annual basis, re- newable only after investigation. Now, it is understood, the experts under Gen. Andrews are scrutinizing regula- tions pertaining to all permits to de- termine _how restrictions - may - he placed ofi them absolutely to prohibit that the counterfeiters have repre- sentatives in America getting the nec- | ssary supplies, alcoholic leakage into illicit channels. | This does not meat. -however, that legitimate industry will be hamnpered | newed | mulgated | early ding to who have a alcohol or only be pr denatured alcohol }in the pursuit of its proper husiness, Andrews.

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE TICKETS SELLING FAST Russian Ballet Program Proceeds to Go for Relief of Rus- sian Refugees. Increasing demand for seats at Alexander Gavrilov's Russian Bailet at Poli's theater at 4:30 December 11 was reported last night by the Wash ington committee in charge of this benefit for Mrs. Mark L. Bristols Russian refugee fund, in Constan tinople. Some of the members of the ballet, it is said, have worked within a few doors of the American embassy in Constantinople, conducting a_school of the ballet for men and women, thus providing a means of livelihood for many young Russians, who, after several years, have gone on to Paris, Berlin and America. This Russian school in Constantinople furnished the only adequate entertainment for sol- diers and sailors during the allied oc- cupation of the city. For a number of years Mrs. Bristol, wife of Admiral Bristol, American high commissioner to Turkey, per- songlly has supervised and dispensed large sums of money raised in the .United States for refugees in Constan- tinople. Hundreds of these homeless people have been helped by the funds sent to Mrs. Bristol by the Washing- ton committee. This committee is composed of Mrs. Robert Lansing, Mrs. George Marye, Mme. Ekengren, Mrs. John Hays Hammond, Mrs. Lawrence Townsend and Mrs. Robert Henderson, Tickets for the ballet are in charge of Mrs. Helen Ray Hagner.
