The measure points out that the Eighteenth Amend- ment was proposed and concurred in while the country was at war and was suffering from a shortage of grain “and at a time when the people of America were not afforded a fair opportunity to pass upon so extraordinary an innova- tion in their habit and method of hy- ing.

HUNTRESS WON GUIDE'S LOVE, HIS WIFE CHARGES Maine Woman Asks $40,000 Damages in Suit Against Mrs. Cornelia Nelson. (speclal 10 The Fvening Wortd.) DOVER, Me., Feb. 19.~Charging Mrs. Cornelia J, Nelson, of No. 609 West 113th Street, New York City, a wealthy sportswoman, with alienat- ing the affections of her husband, a guide and huntsman, Mrs. Gertrude L. Turcott of Greenville has filed a suit here for $40,000 damages. Peter Turcott, the plaintiff's hus- band, has served as Mrs. Nelson's guide for the past few summers on tramping and hunting trips through the woods Moosehead Lake, where the Nelsons maintain a sum- mer home, The guide also is in Mrs, Nelson's employ at her New York home, ac- cording to Mrs, Turcott. Ghe alleges she has on more than one occasion taken her marital troubles to Mr. Nelson, but without result. The Nelsons, it was said, fished and hunted Independently of each other with thelr own guides. Mrs, Turcott stated that she had pleaded in vain with her husband not to leave her during the winter to go to New York as an employee of the defendant. During the jast winter that he re- mained home, she said, he kept a large photograph of Mrs, Nelson on the dresser in his bedroom. Mrs, Nelson's husband was former- ly Mayor of Peekskill, N.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 19.—President Wilson to-day comygcted ‘nis reply to the Allied Supreme Council's note on the Adriatic question and Voters Are Questioning President’s Reasons, WHAT NEXT? IS ASKED. Many Ask Whether Wilson’s Illness Had Anything to Do With Action, By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Feb, 19 (Copyright, 1920).—Three days outside of Wash- ington, talking with people in all walks of life—people in New York State, Michigan and Illinois—has giv- en the writer an idea of how 4 crosa- section of American public opinion feels about the Wilson-Lansing break, And the edd part of it is that on my return to Washington, I find hardly @ realization of the astounding polt- tieal effect which the episode has had. The National Capftal has so many sensations that it ts often 'cal- lused to Cabinet resignations, and re- gards them as mere flurries, It is true that the editorial expres- sion has been almost unanimous in condemning the abrupt dismissal of Secretary Lansing, but even editor- jals are sometimes brushed aside in this intensely political year by ad- ministration men as an ephemeral hysteria, bound to pass sooner or later. GENERAL PUBLIC OPINION AN- TAGONISTIC TO WILSON. Not s0, however, is the judgment of the average man I encountered in such places as Binghamton and Syra- cuse, in New York State; Detroit or Chicago, and on the trains travelling between these points. Never in my own experience has it seemed to me that opinion was #0 uniform. Democrats and Republicans alike disapprove of what the President has done, but the regrettable and sig- nificant fact, however, is not mere condemnation of what has happened, tut wonder about what will happen. No matter where one went, the ques- tion that was shot back was, “Did the President’s illness have anything to do with that Lansing letter?” Try as one might to offset euch an impression, there is no doubt that every act of President Wilson from this time on will be subjected to an embarrassing scrutiny. The incident has made amazing inroads on that Intangible, yet all important factor in Government, namely, public confi- dence. Once that is forfeited, politi- ticians of the opposite party seem strengthened and permitted to reap the benefits of the situation, WILSON’S OWN FRIENDS SAID TO BE BEWILDERED.
