WORK FOR A DRY STATE.
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

WORK FOR A DRY STATE.
A Trades Unionists' Anti-Booze
League has been organized in Ne
braska. It will work for the dry
amendment to be voted on by the peo-
pie Of the state next November. "At-
tempts to show that union labor as q
whole is supporting the liquor inter-
ests will not be permitted to go un-
challenged" says the president of the
league, Mr.. /. J. Copenharve of the
Omaha typographical union.
The league has issued the following
statement:
"The object of this league is to Inn
press upon the general public that GER
tain labor organizations and Trade
Union Liberty Leagues, controlled by
the liquor interests, do not voice the
true sentiment of the labor organiza-
tions of Nebraska in their effort to
make 1t appear that the laboring class
10 subservient to the whims of said
liquor industry.
"It shall be the aim of this organ
ization to publicly disclaim In every
way possible that union labor of Me-
braska looks upon the use of liquor
as an aid to its welfare and advance
ment. but rather that the use Of in
toxicating liquor Is the greatest handi-
cap union labor has to contend with
In making its fight for justice for the
working class.
"The members of this league resent
any effort of the liquor element to
place union labor of Nebraska in the
attitude of supporting an industry that
never has and never can aid the work
ingman in his struggle for better con.
ditions for himself and family"

THE PRESIDENT WINS AGAIN.

President wilson has scored an
other great victory for the United
States, for the rights Of all neutrals
in time Of war. In compelling Aus
tria 10 agree to observe the rules OF
international law in the conduct OF
her submarine warfare, just as Ger
many had Yielded before.
Critics Of the administration, here
ana IN Great Britain, have attempted
TO minimize the importance OF the
success OF tho German negotiations,
claiming that the victory was an
empty one because all Of the Ger
man submarines, operating in the
waters about the British Isles, had
been destroyed or driven to their
bases
No such claim can be made re
garding tho victory oyer Austria,
which is far more important than
that over Germany. Austrian sub
marines were and are at the height
Of their activity. a vast number Of
passenger and freisht steamers have
been destroyed IN the Mediterranean
during the past sovcn days, and in
surance companies have just IN
creased their rates both on ships and
cargoes destined for the suez canal
route.

answer TO Austria in which every de-
lnand Of the first note was reiterated
and indicated that there was no oc-
casion for further discussion Of the
Ancona incident Austria must yield
or take the consequences by further
refusal.
From British, German ana Swiss
sources, announcement had been
made that Austria would yield on no
point ana the Austrian admiralty de-
clared that if the submarine COM
nandcr had not sunk the Ancona as
/ no ala, he would have been subject
to punishment
/ But Austria now notifies the Unit
cd states that the commander has
been punished for dlsregarding the
ordinary rules Of humane warfare in
torpcdoing the Ancona when pnsscn-
gers were still on board and that in
IDENTITIES will be paid for the lives Of
the Americans lost in the tragedy.
or course Austria had to do some
thing to gave her face, therefore she
declines 10 recognize any turpltude on
her part for the loss Of lives from
gunflre or from the launching Of
boats from the deck of the Ancona
while that vessel was still trying to
escape.
The United states made no such
demand upon her, but, on the con-
trary, as in the Lolanaw ease with
Germany, recognized the right Of a

enemy vessel that attempts TO escape
