Washington.-The house late Thurs

Sunday afternoon stated briefly that

Previous to renouncing his com
mand, General Villa was united to
Mrs. Villa in civil marriage. They
had been married by church cere-
mony several years ago at San An
dreas, Chihuahua, but the civil mar
riage was required by Mexican law to
make the tie legal.
1t was believed that the civil mar
riage would remove any moral obstacle
to the entrance of Mrs. villa and Gen.
eral Villa into the United States.
While the retirement of Villa was
upon pressure from his generals. as
sembled in council of war in the cap
ital, 1t is not generally admitted that
the revolution is ended. Indeed, 1t
is asserted that the revolution will re-
ceive a new impetus from the abb
sence OF Villa, and the substitution of
a new leader who is said to be
Governor Avila of Chihuahua state.
The REIMBURSEMENT of command by
villa has been rumored at the border
for several weeks, but the first indica-
tins of 1t came Saturday in the re-
moval OF the household goods of Gen

sudden appearance of Mrs. Villa at

SALOON AND LABOR PROBLEM.

We make no claim that a closed
saloon will settle the labor problem;
we do not believe II will. We do affirm
that there never will be found a solu-
ton for the labor problem that ignores
the saloon and allows II to continue,
whether run by the individual or by
the brewer for profit or run by the gov
eminent without profit. Labor cannot
carry 100000 rum shops on its back
and prosper under any system.
The kingdom of labor will not have
come when the door of the saloon is
shut; there will still be industrial
wrongs to right and other economic
problems to solve; but the largest sim
gle immediate contribution toward
that contamination. the swiftest relief
that can be applied. is the abolition of
the liquor traffic In the United States.
II is the one thing that as the barrier
to all other reform must be removed.
To every son OF toll who is ground
beneath the millstones of low wages
and high cost of living. we have but
one message. "ln the name of God and
home and native land. rise up and vote
for prohibition. Clinton Howard.

TEUTONS GETTING

TROOPS BEING CONCENTRATED

AND WEST FRONTS.
Men and Guns Continue Moving TO

TO Drive In st. Mihiel Region,
Where Line Reaches Meuse.

London. While the diplomats In
Greece and Roumania are engaged in
new deals which will decide the next
step in the Balkan operations. there
is increasing evidence that the Ger
mans, ever restless. are preparing
new strokes on both the eastern and
western fronts, or at least a concen-
tration of their force to strike when
conditions are propitious.

ton continued movement of men
and guns to the west In the latter
theatre of operations it seems only a
question at what points the offensive

Many persons believed that the Ger
mans, having found the lines in Fland-
ers and Artois nuts too hard to crack,
contemplate moving in the st. Mihiel
region, where the line penetrates to
the river Mouse. and where there has
been considerable activity during the
last few days. The only thing argued
against this Is that the river has been
at flood and the French have been
systematically destroying the bridges
as they were rebuilt. Thus far, how
ever. there has been little more doing
than the usual mining and bombing
operations and aerial fighting In the
west
In the Balkans military operations
are temporarily at n standstill. except
in Montenegro and Albania, where the
Austrians and Bulgarians are carry
ing on mountain warfare against King
Nicholas troops and the Serbians. A
big battle Is in progress In the valley
OF the Albanian or Black Drin river
between the Serbs and Bulgarians
AT last reports no decision has been
reached in the fighting.
II is said, however, that the Bulgar-
ians, who crossed the river, found the
Serbians had been reformed and were
driven hack with heavy losses.
II is possible that the Serbian coun-
ter-attacks were made possible by sup
plies having reached them from the
Italians who landed on the Albanian
coast and who are trying to open COM
munication with the Serbs through
that country. The Italians. It is I'M
derstood, already have landed $4,000
men.

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

II have believed I'm the regulation,
not the prohibition of the liquor traf.

action of liquor dealers has made
regulation impossible"
The secretary of the Ohio Temper
ance Union Ga liquor organization)
wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a
letter which could be used i'm the state
prohibition campaign. Doubtless he
is sorry he did 1t. The reply came as
an open letter in the Outlook and is
a severe arraignment Of the saloon as
q lawbreaker. Its law-defying pro-
pensitles have, in the judgment OF
Doctor Abbott, been its undoing. We
quote:
THE American people are charac-
teristically conservative and slow in
coming to a conclusion. But they are
coming to the conclusion, though
slowly, that the American saloon is
not only local nuisance but a ma
tional calamity and are resolving to
abolish It.
The question is not, Is beer a use
full article of food?
1T is not, Is moderate drinking
wrong?
1T is not. Does the Bible prohibit
or permit moderate drinking?
These questions the people would
prefer to leave each individual free
to determine for himself.
But they are not willing to leave
each individual to determine for him
self whether the laws enacted by the
community shall be obeyed. That
question the community will decide.
and IL will suffer any inconvenience.

sary to secure such obedience. This
