Committee Divided.

1.-The senator from Texas, Mr.. Shep-
pard. early in this session introduced
prohibition measure for the District. 1t
has been reported to the Senate with
out recommendation. 1t is no secret
that the committee was equally di-
yided upon the general issue of pro-
htbition. and so the question has been
submitted to the Senate for its decl-
sion.
What is now proposed? Is it pro-
posed to meet the issue sQuarely. NO.
issue squarely unless they think they
can win They doubt their ability TO
defeat prohibition in the Senate, and SO
they seek to divide their enemies. They
hope to avail themselves of the votes
of those who if forced to vote squarely
upon the issue would be against them.
They submit another proposition. w nat
is it? referendum to the people OF
the District of Columbia. Since wnen
have the liquor interests favored the
referendum?
THE real enemies of prohibition are
not in favor of the referendum as a
general principle. They are for II IN
the District of Columbia now SIMPLY
because they think they have better
chance to win that way than in any
other way. They never have been. they
never are and they never will be in Ia
vor of the referendum, except when they
think they will be the gamers by ~.
I do not blame them. That is natural.
They are selfish like the rest o. rs
They are looking after their own IN,
terests. but it should cause every friend
OF prohibition to hesitate before )oln-
ing forces with them simply beca Use
the principle of referendum is involved.
Every opponent of prohibition is now
for a referendum in the District of Co
lumbia. Possibly some friends OF pro-
hibition may now be for referendum,
nd tc
themselves of this aid that the liquor
interests are for it.

Visiting Golfers
Being Shown Fine
Time At Bismarck

One of the very pleasant social af-
fairs planned for the visiting ladies
during the state golf and tennis tour
nament being held in Bismarck this
week, was the tea given this afternoon
at the Bismarck Country club. Those
wishing to enjoy bridge during the
afternoon were given opportunity to
do so, and an invitation was extended
not only to the visiting ladies and the
ladies of the Bismarck Country club,
but the gentlemen as we'll were re-
minded that tee" and serving would
be as much in evidence at the club
house as on the links and courts. The
ladies served them with refreshing
drinks this afternoon whenever they
games. The affair was strictly fnfor-
NAL and much enjoyed by all partici-
pating.
Tuesday evening the visitors were
entertained at the Bismarck clubhouse
with a delightful dancing party and
musical program, that surpassed any
efforts of entertainment previously un-
dertaken by the Bismarck club mem
bers. OConner'S orchestra furnished
the music for the merry dancers, and
the Bismarck Male quartet had charge
of the musical portion of the entertain
ment which comprised the following
nun bers, several being by the above
mentioned quartet:
March Onward.
Annie Laurie.
Pale in the Amber West.
Duet, The Voyagers, Messrs Miller
and HalVerson.
Duet (selected), Hunting Song, from
King Arthur; MeSSrs. Halverson and
HumphrieS.
The social features provided by the
Bismarck players for their guests from
elsewhere over the state, have been un-
usually enjoyable.

ply.
1t is not for themselves they fear, but
for those pipes and cylinder heads ly-
ing bare and exposed to the hail Of
flying fragments. Well they know the
danger Of bursts and Of trenches filled
with gas and no wind to move 1t. But
they cannot bag up without orders.
and so they detail one of their number
to each bay to watch the cylinders
while the rest gather behind the trav-~
erse, as being a slightly safer spot.
When day breaks a fair wind is
blowing. straight towards the German
trenches But of course, 1t is now d
visible as soon as II leaves the pipes.
The gasmen know what to expect. They
know that as soon as the greentsh-
gray clouds appear outside their para
pet there will be running messengers
and hurried telephoning in the German
lines They know that within a few
minutes the word will have reached
the German big guns at the back. and
that every piece capable of hattening
out a parapet and burying them, mang-
led and broken, among their own cylin-
ders will be concentrated upon the
front line trench in which they stand.
Time! over the top the tet-pipes
are flung, and then, simultaneously
along almost two lines of trench, there
arises a sibilant hiss. as OF some mon
strous and Yenomous snake suddenly
aroused from slumber: Now the gas
men are working franucally with
wheel and spanner and key, and the
hiss increases in shrillness and volume.
outside the parapet the green poison
fog is already spreading like a foul
blanket over No-Mans land. Carried

sink, spreading agony and death among

mo rife or machine gun fire has
been ordered this time, and from either
line scarcely q sound is heard except
the deadly hiss of the escaping fumes.
The minutes pass in tense, ominOus
quiet Nature herself seems to pause
practiced by her children upon one an
other.
Behind their masks the gasmen be-
gin to breathe more freely, and then
suddenly, on the left. Crash! And
crash again, and yet again. This timo
on the right somewhere close at hand.
The men crouch lower over their cylin-
ders; the explosions follow one anoth-
er almost too rapidly to count, and in
any case their minds are no longer fit

watched and the sudden squirt of vapor
which marks a leak must be checked
by the application Of a handful of mud.

es into an iron-hard and impenetrable
mass.
In one of the bays, the parapet
rocks suddenly and falls forward,
burying the men and their cylinders.

out unhurt; but the pipes are broken,
and the gas is filling the trench. With

The Truth About Il.

Buffalo Enquirer: 1t Is not true that
the national guardsmen who have an
swered the call to arms are the worst
kind OF molly -coddles that ever donned
uonned uniforms.
1t Is true, however, that q campaign
Of complaint has blasted the best force
Of guardsfen that ever mobilized in the
United States with the reputation of
wineers and winners.
The secret of that campaign is re-
vealed by the Boston Post: ut is noted
that in his letter to Col. Rogers, chief
quartermaster Of the Southern mill
tary department, concerning supplies
for the militia on the border, Brig
Gen. Parker u. 8. A, says that "a
Mr.. Rhode, correspondent for the New
York Tribune, yesterday showed me a
telegram calling upon him to find out
and report all deficiencies that could
possibly be laid to the fault of the ad-
ministration."

OF the program to tear Wilson 10
