CROz|ER BILL NOT
SENATE MEASURE
Action Tomorrow on MuICt Law
Is Not Based on Measure
Which Passed Senate
Last Friday.

Des Moines. Ia. Feb. ia
movement was inaugurated today
to bring the liquor question up for
final action in the house next Mon
lay, Washington's birthday, or
.ccount of the senate action being
taken on Lincoln's birthday. 1t IL
probable that Representative Gro
sier will consent to the Clarkson
senate bill being substituted for
his own measure when the mulct
repeal question comes up for q
vote. .'
Representative Crozier stated
that he will not call up his bill to
repeal the mulct law today, as
planned. but will call it up Tues
Ay. Many representatives were
aot in their seats today and Gro
zier scented danger.
II the house should call the Crozier
bill out from committee and follow this
action by Immediately proceeding to
pass the measure, the proposal still
would have a further gauntlet to run
in legislative proceeding.
While the Crozier bill, in the house,
Is of similar import to the Clarkson
mulct repeal bill, which passed the
senate, they are separate and distinct
measures just the same and must
be treated as such.
Under the two-house plan Of legisla-
ton, complications frequently ensue
from the desire Of each branch to have
Its own measure represented in an i'm
portant epoch, such as the mulct repeal
question now under consideration. For
that reason the house may seek to give
the right of way to the Crozier bill in
preference to the Garrison bill.
Most of the leaders, however, expect
that the house dry forces will be
willing to compromise a little on the
home measure" tendency in order to
facilitate the enactment. 1t Is as
sumed that the Crozier bill will be
called from the committee and placed
on the calendar.
When consideration is taken up OF
the Crozier bill an effort will be made
to substitute the Clarkson bill. Unless
this is done the Crozier bill would have
to run the senate gauntlet, where the
vote was close, or the Clarkson senate
bill would have to be taken up sep,
arate and enacted before the repeal
question would be in form to go before
the governor. f.. ....
Some rumors have been started to
the effect that Governor Clarke will
veto the mulct repeal measure, IL II
comes before him for signature. bas-
ing his action on the probable submis-
sion of the Drohibitory question to the
voters on the application for consti-
tutional amendment. 1t is evident,
however, that these rumors are merely
"straws'' at which the wet" forces
are grasping to modify the situation.
In the early estimates by the tenn
perance forces in the last election Gov
ernor Clarke was .classed as doubtful .
but later was given a general 20. K. -
by some OF the temperance leaders.

Before the end OF February, Prince

mortars of the enemy. We occupied
for a distance of about ESQ yards
German trench along the roadway from

I'm Lorraine, the enemy, after hav-
Ing driven back our advance guard,

their positions in some trenches.
I'm the Vosgcs. the German often
sive movement. which began along the
two banks of the River LAUGH, was

DUMbA SAILS
 FOR HIS HOME
His Sailing was Delayed as President Wilson Insisted Upon Formal
 Recall by Vienna.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Ambassador Dumba, of Austria, sailed for Vienna on a vessel leaving New York Tues day night, and it is hoped that his departure will mark the close of the controversy which has resulted from his activities in attempting to restrict the output of the American intuition factories.
 The am ,assador had engaged pas- sage on vessel leaving New York on September 28, but was forced to de lay his sailing as President Wilson refused to guarantee his safe trans portation through the European war zone until the formal recall had been received from Vienna.
 Thousands of Germans and Aus trians were at the pier to cheer the Austrian representative when the steamer sailed, and although repre- sentatives of the press were insistent that he make some statement he re- fused to be interviewed, merely de- claring that so far as he was con- cerned the incident would be closed after he had made his report to his government.
