PROHIBITION
'I'II| Fight IN HOUSE
Resolution Looking Toward
5 Making Country Dry !;
Up Today.
SPIRITED DEBATES.
Representative Hobson Marshals the
Advocates of the Measure Whose
Defeat Seems Assured.

Washington, Dec, 22-Legislative
weapons were FURNISHED up for the
final struggle in the House of Rep
resentatives today over the Hobsor
constitutional amendment for nation
al prohibition. The fight began at 10
o'clock this morning, to last until
the roll is called on the resolution to
submit the amendment to the State
Legislatures for ratification.
Opponents of prohibition are cer-
taiE it will be impossible to muster
the affirmative vote of two-thirds of
the House necessary to send the
,oint resolution to the Senate. The
supporters of the resolution claim "a
substantial majority" which at least
will assure victory in the preliminary
skirmisr--thev vote on the special rule
presented by Chairman Henry OF the
Rules Committee for the considera-
tion of the Hobson resolution.
The rule will be voted on after two
hours of debate and its adoption is
virtually conceded, as many oppo-
nents of the resolution itself have
announced their intention of voting
for the rule to open the way for
the final action on the question.
Under the terms of the rule eight
horrs of general debate were al
lowed on the resolution and field
d..y of oratory has followed. Repre-
sentative Hobson had list of some
81 members who wished to speak in
support of the measure and numer-
osa applications had been made fol
time in opposition.
|All efforts to arrive at a division
OF time failed so Speaker Clark
controlled, endeavoring to allot time
as equally as possible. Majority
Leader Underwood headed the list OF
speakers who opposed ;the resolu-
tior while Representative Hobsor
lead the advocates. :,
The Hobson resolution proposes .
constitutional amendment as follows:
Section The sale, manufacture
for sale, atransportaion for sale, ex,
pprtation for sale, and importation
foE sale, Of intoxicating liquors for
beverages purposes in the United
States and all territory subject to the
jurisdiction thereof are forever pro-
hihited.
Sec. 2Congress shall have power
to provide for the manufacture, sale
Importation and 5 transportation OF
Intoxicating liquors for sacramental
medicinal mechanical. pharmaceutical
or scientific purposes or for use IN
the arts, and shall have power to
enforce this article by all needful
legislation"
The resolution carries . premable
setting forth that science has de-
monstrated alcohol to be narcotic
poison and reciting IT'S evil effects.
There are, some 800 members IN
Washington and the. prohibition
leaders asserted their. conhdenee that
we'll over one third Of these Honao
vote in favor of the resolution.

The next days trip lay over the

and down TO Cleary creek. II had
been intended to hold a meeting at
Cleary. but before evening the party
had visited all the mines in opera

Another View

With the huge bodies Of men en-
gagged in the war of the nations the
actual number of those killed outright
cannot but be very great. There is
hope, however, that the secondary
horrors of war have been brought un-
der control to such an extent that the
sufferings Of men will be less, even
though the number of deaths may be
greater.
The use of the typhoid vaccine prac-
tically has eradicated typhoid fever
from all armies, and there is little
danger from that score. The modern
high-power rifle with its needle-point-
ed bullet either kills a man instantly
if it hits vital spot, or else makes
so clean a wound that there is quick
recovery and, it is reported, but little
pain.
A volume on medical surgery by
DR.. Octave Laurent, who served
through the Balkan War, has just ap-
peared. Much Of the material is USE
full in throwing light on the medical
side OF the present conflict. The dis
coveries made by DR.. Laurent as to the
actual effect of modern bullets were
notable. He reports cases of bullets
traversing the brain, piercing the
chest, and penetrating the abdomen
without causing death, or indeed any
very great pain. The velocity Of the
bullets now used is so great he found
that even bones were perforated with
only insignificant traces of the pas
sage of the bullet, and DR.. Laurent
concludes that in only l per cent of
the cases treated in the hospitals was
amputation necessary.
DR.. Charles H. Mayo has expressed
the opinion that "the death rate will
be far less" in the present war than
in some wars of the past. - There may
be some doubt as to whether the ac-
tual death rate on the field may not
be greater, but there can be little
doubt that that death rate which
comes from disease or minor injuries
badly treated will be lower than in
any war prior to the Russians japanese
