FOUND CHILDREN DRUNK
IN CHICAGO DANCE HALL
CHICAGO, Mar. 28. (By Mail) —
The Juvenile Protective association
of Chicago is fathering a bill in the
legislature, prohibiting the sale of
liquor in dance halls, and provid
I'OOI) MAIN FACTOR.
PARIS, May 17.—In a renewed
appeal to the French peasants ot
both sexes upon the part of the Mi
nister of Agriculture, stress is laid
upon the fact that the food products
must be cultivated beyond anything
ever seen before. The Minister
says that food is now the main
factor in every country and France
must sow, that it may reap the
harvest of victory this year.
In almost every country belliger
ent and neutral, the food problem
is now the most vital one which tilt
people face and a crop failure
would be even' worse for belligerent
nations than defeat on tnc battle
field.
The latter might eventually be
overcome, but famine is unthink
able.
ing a $200 penalty for violation.
Charging that the majority of the
dance halls are operated primarily
for the sale of liquor, and in many
cases are actually owned or con
trolled by liquor interests, the as
sociation’s committee report shows
that police have no conception ot
their duty at dance halls; many po
licemen' are found drinking; fights
are common; indecent dancing pre
vails after about 11 o'clock, al
LONDON, Mjay 15.—The British
Socialists have declined an invita

of Socialists of the allied countries,
which it is again proposed. The
WILL WHEAT CROPS BE
FAILURE IS QUESTION
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—
It is known that grain brokers spe
culate upon the severe cold having
so stunted the production of the
winter wheat crops as to reduce
the produce below normal.
Reassuring advices are being
sent out from the belt and it is held
in the more optimistic quarters that
the greatly increased acreage under
wheat will be sufficient to secure a
greater wheat production than ever
in any event.
The total wheat production owing
to wet weather in the southern
hemisphere is said in Argentina
and Australia to be less than in pre
vious years, although these reports
are doubted.

though until they become intoxicat
ed, the dancers are usually orderly;
minors, and often, small children
are permitted to become intoxicat
ed, while parents laugh at their
drunken anticts.
At one dance, given by a church,
as a benefit affair, many little child
ren were found “outrageously
drunk”, according to Mrs. Bowen’s
report, and intoxicated women
threatened to mob a policeman who
closed a gambling device being ope- '
rated there.
“Men and women become intoxi- j
cated,” says the report, “and dance
indecently such dances as “Walking
the Dog,” “On the Puppy’s Tail”,
Shaking the Shimmy"-, “The Sta
tionary Wiggle and “The Dip”.
“At 205 of the 213 halls investi
gated, liqucr was sold, and at 193
of these minors were present.” •
to the invitation
British reply
says:
“We are strongly of the opinion
that the congress should not be
held. The year 1917 is the most
critical period of the war. The
great majority of Socialists are
fighting at the front to repel the
German invasion and are unable
either to attend as delegates or ap
point others to be present in their
place. Of the Socialists still at
home, a small but aciivt- minority
consists of those who are demand
ing peace at any price.
“These anti-nationalists stand to
gether in the support of a policy
which cannot fail to encourage the
aggressors. Even an overwhelm
ing vote of the congress could not
entirely outweigh the effect of a
fierce internecine debate raised by
a few advocates of nonresistance,
and Socialism itself would suffer in
the opinion of the world of work
ers whence must come our converts
We appeal to Socialists through
out the allied countries not to at
tend a congress which can only
hearten the enemies of real Social
ism, strenghten the power ot
Chauvinism in Germany and greatly
damage our cause.”
The communication then refers
to the Socialists of Germany.
ON WAY TO EUROPE
NEW YORK. May 15.—It is re
ported unofficially that the British
commission also has departed lor
home.
While the port and means of de
parture of any of these commis
sions is not given, it is believed
that they will sail in warships be
longing to their respective coun
tries.
The results of the work of the .
commission are known to be re- (
garded as most satisfactory. This
is a statement made by A. J.
Balfour himself before he left this
city on the occasion of his presence
here.
