|C0sSAGKS ARE PREPARED
FOR GERMAN ADVANCE
CONTINUED from Page 1.)

German position are now in control
of the allies. British and French OBJ
servers today expressed confidence
that the German position in that sec
tion will soon become untenable, AMI
that it will then be necessary for the
whole German army in northern
France and Belgium to "re-adjust its
lines" this being interpreted as
meaning that a retreat of uncertain
magnitude is imminent in the west.
Reports from the southern area OF
hostilities say Italian forces are at
tacking the Austrian frontier defenses
vigorously, but the only concrete evil
dence of an Italian advance is con.
tanned in telegraphic advices stating
that Gorigia, an important railroad
center, is now under shell fire from
Italian batteries. The censor at
Rome is holding tight rein on cor
respondents in King EmanuePs cap
ital and little news of events trans
piring in the south is permitted to
be telegraphed the outside world.
Big Bribe Offered Bulgaria.
Authentic reports emanating from
source heretofore considered wholly
reliable, are to the effect that the
Franco-Russ-B British alliance has offer
ed Bulgaria generous inducements to
enter the war, and that negotiation
are now under way looking to that
nations entrance into the ranks Of
the bellfgerents. The excellent condt-
tion of Bulgaria's army, combined with
its strategicaI position which would
give the allies opportunity to thrust
at the back of the Turkish capital
gives unusual significance to these
negotiations. The position taken By
Greece, Rumania and Serbia, as
members of the Balkan alliance, is
also expected to influence Bulgaria s
decision, and it is fully anticipated the
effort to induce the Sofia government
to cast its lot against Germany will
ultimately prove successful, though

SCIENTISTS SAY
ALCOHOL RUINS
GOOD SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, June 21,-In discussion of a
report by Monsieur C. Colson on alco-
holism before the Academy of Science
it was stated that after two genera
tions the posterity of alcoholics be-
comes eXtinguished. Raphael George
Levy gave the statistics If twenty
four families chosen at random, II
temperate and IL alcoholic:

station"
Americus times-recorder., 1915-06-19


out of every 500 persons in houses Of
detention are alcoholics.
Monsieur Colson's report concludes
that private distiIlation of brandy by
fruit growers from their own crop is
worse than public sale of alcohol
since it introduces It directly into the
family to children as fell as women
The law which permits this also al
lows the consumption in the family of
the equivalent Of FIVE gallons of pure
alcohol per year without tax. The rest
is supposed to be taxed but rigid sup
ervision is impossible and practically
all the produce of private distillatioE
escapes taxation and is sold il1lcitly;
all of it is consumed in families.
In addition to the suppression of
this privilege of private distillation,
the report recommends, and the acad-
emy adopted a resolution to that eff
that the licenses be raised from the
licenses be raised from the present
average of As francs to 100 francs
minimum and 5000 francs maximum,
that tobacco shops be prohibited from
selling liquor and that no new licenses
granted.

IF 1t Weren't For Her
By Frank L. Stanton, in the Constitution

IF it weren't for Her, still sweet and fair,
With the sunsets gold on her silver hair
And dreams O the years in the eyes that seem
To dream that the angels read the dream;
If it weren't for Her-to my soul say
There's traveller here had lost the way
This side O. the certain Gates of Day!
Lost the way where the lovelesS roam,
Far from Home
IF it weren't for Her! With her hand in mine
We've travelled together IN storm ana Sn1e;
And said to myself in Loves first dawn:
"Its the light O. my love IL lead her on
The beacon bright in the years to be
Sure through the shadows of Lies dim sea-"
And all the while she was 1eadin me
To the light that shines DER the stormy foam
Far from the shores of Home.
IF il weren't for Her, the day we passed
From a grave to world grown cold at last
With Gods dark shadows gathering fast,
Life would have cried, in Lies despair,
To God to hide mans heart there!
But Her voice in Gods Silence spoke sure and
and sweet
Der the dust and violets at Life's feet.
And light streamed down from Heavens high dome
The light of home.
w.
\ ND the day is near when we shall stand
IN At the sundoWn gateway, hand IN hand
With the light of Her souls love shining there,
Bright as in valleys of Life's despair;
And if it be given in that high day
A word to the Angel of Light to say,
Twill he hut an echo from earth'S far side:
eff it weren'tfor Her!' . AS the gates swing wide,

s'Whale Room'' to Be Opened
AT New National Museum

II n the New National Museum there
II is a room some $50 feet long and
thirty odd feet wide that will be open
to the public on or about the holiday
season, though it will not be fully
equipped and really complete until pos
sibly next summer. This is the new
cetacea, or whale. room.
There will be fifty-two specimens in
all. one-half of which are unique. or.
that is to say, one-half the specimens
can be found in the New National Mu-
scum only. There will be skeletons OF
whales casts of whales. models OF
whales. pictures of whales, heads of
whales. ,
a part of this exhibit was at the
Smithsonian Institution. but for the
first time these whales have been
brought together at the New National
Museum for the purpose of exhibiting
them more completely.
The whale skeletons are the real
bones of whales. The casts are made
of plaster of paris, whiting. glue. wire.
wood. sheet paper and papier- ma che
First a mold is made of the whale.
The composition is of plaster, sait
water and excelsior. the excelsior max
ing the plaster stronger and less brit
tie. This cast must be braced by
means of wood, and within the cast is
not wood alone. but network OF wire
Sheet paper, papier- -mache. glue, paint.
whiting added to this go to make up a
very real-looking whale.
The cast of the largest whale in the
room, at least seventy-eight feet long.
and occupying half the length of the
room. was made in Washington. The
time essential for such a piece of work
was approximately six months. This
whale was mounted for the st. Louis
exposition. and accompanying it was
the skeleton of this mammoth animal.
The skeleton was taken from whale
caught in Newfoundland waters. 1t
was sent to Rochester. \. Y, where
the oil was macerated out by steam
and chemicals. 1t took practically
three months to clean and cure the
bones and two to put them together
AT rough estimate 1t is supposed that
the mounted whale and its skeleton
cost $4,000.
This whale is sulphur bottom OF
blue whale, and belongs to the whale
bone or Balaena class. IT has an enof-
nous head, which is one-third the
length of the whole body. In the up
per jaw of the sulphurbottom whale
are the blades of whalebone. There
are often as many as $50 OF these
blades on each side. They are black
in color. elastic and fringe out into
long, tough hairs. This singular ap-
paratus acts as huge strainer by
which water can be drained off when
the animal has mouthed it's food. Its
food. by the way, consists of crustacea
crabs. Holsters. shrimp. etc.-whicl
are found in immense shoals. minute
food. when one considers the size OF
the conSumer.
