"Time fights on the side of pro-

hibltion has had lined up against it all
of Europe and the lawbreaking ele-
ment within our nation. it has in four
short years accomplished wonders in
the way of benefiting people. Slaves
were sold as late as 1858 and yet slav-
ery; has gone. Let us give prohibition
a chance."
This is an abstract from the sermon
on "The Enemies “Prohibition: Their
Weapons and “’ays of Warfare" de-
livered yesterday at the Norwaik M. E
church‘ by Rev. George' E. Tompkins.
pastor of the church. It is the third
of a series of sermons dealing with
the various phases of prohibition.
The‘ sermon in part follows:
"Who are the enemies of prohibi-
tion? To speak in broad terms they
are first: those who profit by the
manufacture and sale of alcohol
beverages. second: those who think
that their thirst for alcoholic drink
the first thing in the world to, be con-
sidered. third: those who have through
misinformation been led to believe
that the great principles of personal
liberty and individuals rights are . in-
fringed upon and'endangei'ed by the
Eighteenth Amendment. fourth: those
who are the paid propagandists of the
various associations opposed to the
Prohibition Amendment.
"The first named ’ of enemies
is a very powerful one‘ from the point
of finances. it is furnishing the money

lieve that ,the peopleof the i‘Unlted

could eliminate the open hostility of
this European enemy. and the trees-

in league with this alien enemy.
"In the second group of enemies we
find a. most amazing variety of inim-
ans. There are the men and women
who from long usage of the beverage
alcoholic concoctions have become so
saturated with it that they have lost,
all sense of honor. and are also in this
same group of men and women of the
generally conceded respectable class.
People of the, higher walks of life,

LONDON. July 10 (Associated
Preach-ewe expected arrival of the
Leviathan at Southampton. late today
is attracting interest far beyond
shipping circles. The great liner's
pro-war antecedents. her disputed
claim to~the world's "record tonnage
and_her cargo of reputed million-
sire. have been widely discussed in
the newspapera-.whlle the reported
impending arrest of a large propor-
tion of her crew for desertlon has also
augmentgd public curiosity.
Evidently referring to the Levia-
than's tonnage. Harold Sanderson.
chairman of the White Star line. in
a public speech yesterday said there
was a. certain. ship which claimed to
be able to blow herself out as with a
bicycle pump and “then laid claim to
being the largest vemcl afloat. He
added that the dock authorities would
not object to the tonnage. but would
make the owners pay for the hot air.
The arrivd of the Aquitanin with-
out mails. which the Americen postal
authorities are said to have held for
the Leviathan believing that the lat-
ter would arrive first. leads the Daily
Mail to point out that a delay of,24
hours has been caused by thi- arc
rangement.
