The writer had occasion to visit At

Georgia is a prohibition state with a
near beer law upon the statute
books. During weeks so1ourn IN that
city he was forced to confess that he
witnessed as much maudlin drunken
ness as he had ever seen In Des Moines
during the same period where eighty or
more saloons were in eull operation.
The action already taker by this
general assembly has been accepted
as the wish of the people that the
saloons be closed and that the sale of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage be
prohibited.
The indications in that direction are
certainly sufficiently strong to author
ize waiting for, further expression
upon the constitutional amendment
which will be submitted to popular
vote.
The supreme court held yesterday
that the sale Of so-called temperance
drinks containing malt is violation of
the liquor laws. whether the drink Is
intoxicating or not.

AMERICAS EXAMPLE

Henceforth the world is one and in Invisible, and every war between great nations is a world war.
 It is true that, while the battle rages over almost every part of the old world. from the Pacific islands to the North sea, not a shot has been fired in the new world. The whole continent of America, from Labrador to Cape Horn. stands like splendid rebuke and q splendid hope The star of Lincoln never shOne so bright as in this hour of darkness. But though 1t has escaped the storm. the continent of America has not escaped the con- sequences There is a moratorium in Rio Janeiro as well as i'll England, and commercial disaster is almost as wide spread in New York as here.
 We could not, even if we wished. say to the new world that it has no concern in the crimes of the old. But so far from wishing to exclude Amer ica from it's share in the settlement, we shall look to it for help in finding a way of escape from the hopeless entanglement in which the past has involved us. Next year we celebrate the century of peace between the two great branches of the English speak adequate which does not start from the determination to bring the whole world under the law of justice instead of the law of the machine sun.-Lon- don News and Leader.

HAPPIEST
YOUTH IN
TACOMA!
BY E. A. Peters

Larry Sullivan is the happiest
boy in Tacoma!
Larry, the little cripple who
sells pencils from his cap, as he
sits against the wall at 18th and
Pacific, has found more friends
In the last week than he ever
knew existed before.
He's going to have an opera
ton on those withered, twisted
legs of his. He's going to have
new clothes and new braces and
new crutches. He's going to have
a business where he can sell news
papers and magazines and fruits
and candy.
Larry's going to be remade
from helpless crippled youth to
a self-reliant, Independent man,
and he's so happy that tears fill
his eyes when he talks about 1t.
Another $40 Check.
Today the browning event oc-
Cured In the effort of Mayor
Fawcett and The Times to help
the cripple.
A Tacoman--a prominent law
yer, who modestly requested that
his name be omitted from publica-
tion--mailed a $40 check to the
Larry Sullivan fund.-. with this
note-"If there should be any de-
ficiency in the amount to be
raised for this poor boy, kindly let
me know what it is and will
make 1t up.
There was $73.35 In the fund
at noon today, and from the man
ner In which subscriptions are ar
riying,. it probably will not be
necessary to ask this charitable
man for any larger subscription,
In order to raise the 500 for
Larry's new business venture.

NEW YORK, July 2o.--In
three different points OF the Unit
ed States today. strikes resulted
which indicate that the workers
of the nation are determined to
share more fully In the immense
war-profits made by American
manufacturers.
At Bridgeport, the promised
strike In the Remington Arms
& Ammunition plant took place.
when 600 machinists dropped
their tools and walked out. This
company manufactures arms for
the allies.
Union officials declare the
whole 5000 employees of the plant
will march out Immediately unless
the demands of the strikers for
higher pay is met.
Men Win ut Utica
At Bayonee, N. j., the workers
in the Standard OIL refining plant
5000 strong. went on strike
which threatens tie-up In the
shipment of another big order OF
supplies for the allies.
At Boston, the machinists voted
to leave every shop manufacturing
war supplies where tho manage
ment did not Immediately install
an S-hour day.
The first of the union victories
has been reported--at Utica, N.
Y. Here the Remington plant has
granted the workers demands for
an 8-hour day.
LLOYD-GEORGE WINS
CARDIFF, July 20.--A person.
al victory for David Lloyd-George
was registered today when the
strike of 100000 miners in Wales
was settled on compromise basis
between employees and operators.
The settlement of the strike
was vital to England's military
success, as 1t is from these fields
that the fleets guarding her shores
get their coal.
The success of Lloyd-George
came after attempts by all other
governmental agencies had failed.
Had his mission been a failure
1t was an open secret that tire
government fully intended to
take over the coal mines and oper-
ate them, just as 1t now does the
railways.

1eutOnS
Advance
Goes On

LONDON, July 20.-The most
stupendous campaign since the
time of Alexander the Great
threatens Warsaw and the envel-
opment and destruction of the
whole Slav army which the Grand
Duke Nicholas has gathered In
Poland.
The war announcements from
Berlin and Petrograd today told
only too plainly OF how probably
5000, 200 Germans and Austrians
are engaged in attacking Poland
from the west, the south and
southeast and the north and
northeast.
Extreme pessimism obtains In
London, and many military critics
believe that the Russian army will
be destroyed as well as Warsaw
lost to the kaiser. They were
amazed at the daring of the kais-
er, and at the tremendous quanti-
ties of ammunition and men he
would put to use on his eastern
front.
They believe the great coup is
to crush the Slav forces with this
one great stroke, and then to re-
lease his great eastern armies for
sledge-hammer blow at the al
lies in France and Flanders.
1t is possible that the kaiser
expects also in his eastern CAM
paign to capture Riga, a wheat
port on the upper Baltic.
BERLIN, July 20.-The Rus
sian forces to the north of War;
saw have been forced hack to
new position within less than 40
miles of the Polish capital in con-
tinuance of the advance of the
kaiser's forces along a vast front
from the Baltic provinces to
Bukowina, 1t is officially an
nounced.
More than $4,000 prisoners
have been captured and the Rus
slams are retreating everywhere,
abandoning great quantities of
munitions.
From the north of the Galwitz,
the statement asserted, the Rus
sian forces were forced to retreat
across the Harew river, where
they took up positions within 40
miles of Warsaw, upon which the
Germans were advancing.
The forces of Gen. Won Bulow
occupied Tukum In sweep
through the Riga region.
German cavalry is overrunnin3
the entire Windau river region,
while the general advance car
ried on by Gen. Won 9ulow ID
within less than 40 miles of the
Rigar river itself. One wing of
the invading force captured VIM
dau, commanding the railway
leading direct to Riga.
