AMERICANS HANDED
 A VICIOUS SLAP BY
 GERMAN NEWSPAPER
People Make War Material During the Week and Pray for Peace on Sunday, Says the Frank
 furter Zeitung

London, February 14.-G0:25 a. m.) Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam quotes an editorial from the Frankfur- ter Zeitung of February 12, which, in commenting upon the summaries of the American note, says:
 "President Wilson's note to Englan1 does not deserve the name of a pro- test. It is feeble, like the President s entire policy so far toward England.
 "Washington's recipe for it's rela- tions with the Briton is: Wash his fur, but don't wet him Washington. how ever, appears to have another recipe for Germany.
 "1f certain people in America do not yet understand that we are fight ing for existence and that we cannot be guided by what MT. Bryan, whose son-in-law and sympathies are Tn the English army, considers good form. we cannot help them. In six days from today the sea around Great Britain and Ireland will be for the German warships, including submarines. a wal zone and every hostile merchant yes sel encountered will be destroyed
 The article concludes with the fol- lowing reference to the United States:
 "A state which day and night works in the production of cannon, bombs ana armored motor cars for our enemies, and by way of amends prays God for peace in the churches. need not ex- pect that it's warnings will particular ly affect us morally

 Field Marshal VOn
 Hindenburg

London, February 13.--tlOi4O p. m. } East Prussia by the Russians, which Ia hailed In the German capital as an- other great victory for Field Marshal Von HindenburR; England Is not st- tempting to hide her elat1on at the suc- cess of her airmen's raid on the Ger man positions In Belgium, and all Tcu- rope Is eagerly discussing the Amer lean notes to Great Britain and Ger many and contempIstfns what the re- plies will he.
 Great Britain has already intinated that British merchant ships have been advised to use neutral flags only in case of emergency and no general use or such flags Is anticipated. The Ger man minister at The Hague has is- sued another warning to neutrais to the effect that in view of the alleged war ports and the use of neutral flags by British ships. it would be danger ous for neutral merchantmen to visit the prescribed waters after Fcbru- ary IS.
 So far as the East Prussian situa- ton is concerned. the Russian official report indicates that the Russians. hay ing evacuated the greater part of the German province, are making stand on or near their frontier-whether for a pitched battle or only to delay the German advance, it will take few days to tell.

Montgomery. February 13.-(spcciai.D The prohibition lobby. that powerful organization which has held in the hoI- low of its hand the destiny of the state, is In contempt of that court sentimentaIIy called the court of final jurisdictton, the people.
 Up to the present time the lobby, ex- erting it's influence on the majority fac- tion of the legislature. has thrice declined to submit important matters to the voters of the state The reason may have been the reason of Speaker Car michael-that the people are scapable of being corrupted; or the reason may have been the desire of the lobby that noth- ing be accomplished which might affect in deleterious manner, the prohibition statutes.
 At my rate. this session of the leg islature has been remarkable through It's energy and industry and lack of accomplished results. and through It's apparent contempt of the people who rut 1t Into being.
 Question of Prohibition
 In the beginning. the lobby decreed that statewide prohibition should not be submitted The argument in favor of submission was that the people should decide-especially in that the opportunity had been presented for the final eradi- cation of this obnoxious sore on the polit- ical body of the state But the lobby was obdurate, and proceeded to enact statutes embodying search and seizure clauses. those same clauses which dur ing the amendment campaign of 1909 they contended on every stump of the state "were not what they purported to be- were not, in other words. an element of danger to the homes of the people of the state the lobby. to further illumi- nate. proceeded to restore in contempt of the people, the search and seizure clauses which. as a source of consolation in 1909 they held responsible for prejudice which resulted in the ignominious defeat of the amendment.
 Secondly. the women of the state urged the legislature to submit the question of equal suffrage. The women declared that the legislature need not commit itself need not bind itself to support at the polls the proposed amendment need not take any action whatsoever save that which would have given the people an opportunity to express themselves. Tn effect, the reply of the legislators was .'To h. with the peoplev' And in the house they chloroformed the equal sui. frage bill. Two Interesting Facts In connection with equal suffrage, two facts are worthy of note, of repetition The father of the bill. MT. Greene ot Dallas. in committing his ''child" to ths tender mercies of.the committee, declared that one of the only two types opposins equal suffrage was the whisky politi cian" The committee to which he spok, was one composed in great part of pro hibitionists They. the prohibitionists chloroformed the bill. and one of the req
