LESS RUM CASES IND. G. REPORTED Nearly Walf Total Cost Over U. S. Returned by Fines, Etc. Contrary to the trend throughout the country, District courts are mak- ing headway in reducing the number of prohibition cases on the dockets. While the total number of cases on Federal court dockets throughout the country climbed in the last two months from 19,476 to 22,936, the number on 'tzxeugockeu here declined from 167 The trend elsewhere, which shows prohibition enforcement is making cases faster than the Federal courts can handle them, was explained by Prohibition Director Woodcock as re- sulting in the shift of more cases into the State courts. Fewer Cases Found. The number of cases being made is falling off, Col. Woodcock explained, in | interpretation of statistics of enforce- meq. This may be taken, he sald, as an “Indication t enforcement as a matter of fact is becoming more effec- tive, because, he said, the prohibition | ts machine was working just as ently as ever. There are fewel z b'umm as enforcement im| said. Prohibition arrests in the Dfstrict fell off sharply from 177 in September to 72 in October. Cases placed on the docket also dropped from 141 to 128 dunn%the same period, while convic- tions by jury trial dropped from 8 to 5, and convictions by pleas of guilty fell from 152 to 122. Cases nolle prossed decreased from 25 to 11. ‘The average jail sentence here in- 46.6 days to 56.7 from September to October, but_the average fine decreased from $136.33 to $107.35. Beizures of beer fell off from 456 gal- lons to 337 gallons, and seizure of “spirits” fell from 1,345 to 924 gallons. Operations of the Prohibition Burea over the entire past fiscal year ending July 1, Col. Woodcock said, cost the American people only %4 tents and 2 mills per capita. The bureau turned back into the Treasury, not only huge sums which it did not use, but also more than $4,000,000 which it collected in fines, bonds, penalties and taxes. “This looks like a pretty good show- ing,” declared the prohibition director. Congress appropriated, for the bureau last fiscal year $9,584,500, but out of this there was turned back to the Treasury an unused total of $167,244. A sum of $500 was gontributed to the expenses of maintaining the Personnel Classification Board. The bureau col- lected fines, bonds, penalties and taxes in the sum of $4,138,211.11. Col. Woodcock left last night for an inspection trip in the West. ist- cases ves, NEW BATTLEFIELD HEHWAY IS OPENED Armistice Day Exercises In- augurate Boulevard Near Fredericksburg.

CHICAGO, November 12—The Ger- man Ambassador, Friedrich W. von Prittwitz und Gaffron, told the Good Will Congress today that no nation can isolate its future from the entire world. “Any constructive foreign policy of nations, nowadays,” the Ambassador admonished, “must consider general international aims.” The German diplomat said diplo- macy’s “only reason for being consists chiefly in applyingsall its efforts to promote peace and good will.” ‘The keynote of the congress, held by the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, has been a demand for disarmament and American entrance into the World Court and League of Nations. Must Look to Future. “We live in times of social. political and economic evolution,” Herr von Prittwitz sald, “which contain elements of conflict if we remain inactive, but which will bring classes and nations more closely together if we take ener- getic action. This period calls more than ever for joining forces in an at- tempt to master the future instead of wasting time in fruitless discussions concerning the past.” ‘The Ambassador hastened to say he did not minimize the credit prob- lem, but that he considered the pres- ent crisls more than a financial one. verproduction and under - con- tion, the growing problem of un- employment, together with the rapidly increasing use of machinery,” the Am- bassador said, “tend to unbalance the economic structure and cause soclal injustice — elements which cannot be overemphasized.” The Ambassador said the “present crisis and its consequences have fur- nished the critics of the capitalistic system with ample arguments, but these critics seem to overlook the fact that no system can endure the viola- tion of fundamental laws.” Urges Goodwill, These laws, he sald, have been dis- regarded both nationally and interna- tionally and in “such a maladjustment, & crisis will necessarily result, no mat- m;!;hne ttilhe %mm,” ce the orld War, Herr Prittwitz sald, the United States ;'IDI: led endeavors to limit and reduce arma- merll!u. " “But,in & world where the human being still has a heart and soul which cannot be replaced by mechanical dev- ices,” the diplomat said, “the psycho- logical element is recognized as a decis- ive factor, It is not only necessary to acquaint the public with true facts, a task which develoves upon a consci- entious press, but it is also of vital im- portance to remind the people of the {l‘g:l‘-'mentnl principles of our civiliza- | ..
