Added are the following clauses:
I'VE favor any and all laws which
will effectuate temperance. We re-
affirm past utterances of the party on
prohibition which has become the
settled policy of the state and declare
there should be no backward step
therefrom. We believe the people
have the right to pass upon the ques-

pledge that the next legislature will
submit to the people the proposed pro-
hibitory amendment approved by the
thirty-siXth general assembly.
''The republican party stands for
continued Improvement of the high
ways of the state until the roads are
as good as needed for legitimate pur-
poses. We heartily favor building the
very best roads the taxpayers will be

Uncle Sans soldier boys are not
only the best fed soldiers in the
world on the firing line, but also at
home. When the United States
trooper marches away to do military
duty, he gets just as much meat to
eat as he got at home-but no more.
This was the answer packers gave
today when asked if any more meat
was being consumed and if the price
was any higher now than before the
government ordered militia mobiliza-
ton and began buying large quanti-
ties of meats.
Why should meat prices be any
higher; the American soldier gets
Just as much meat at home as he
does in the army. The demand is no

DYNAMITE
USED AGAIN
Second Street Car Blown Up
in Two Days by the
Strikers.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 20.-An-
other trolley car of the local trac-
ton company was blown up today by
dynamite, making the second attempt
in two days to kill the strike break
ing crews.
The motorman and conductor
miraculously escaped death. The
conductor was uninjured, but the
motorman will probably lose the
sight of one eye. Because of the boy
colt, there were no passengers aboard
at the time.
The local street car strike has been
in progress since October IA, 1915.
The men have been out more than
nine months and the boycott of the
cars run by strike breakers has been
almost absolute.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
NORTHERN FRANCE, July 20
Every foot Of the new German posi-
tions behind the lines captured by the
British north of the Somme, Is being
carefully and slowly drenched with a
destructive fire Of British high ex-
plosives in preparation for q new at
tack.
Giant British shells are now drop
ping upon German works from guns
stationed miles to the rear. British
artillery pieces of largo and small
caliber, acting in unison. are system
atically pounding the new German
first ffnes.
The roar Of guns is continuous and
resembles the heavy roll of thunder.
The Germans are replying only occas-
ionally. Either they are seriously
out-gunned, or are saving their am
munition.
British aircraft, without molesta-
ton, are directing the fire Of the ar
tillery. Since the beginning Of the
Anglo-F,rench push, German air craft
have been surprisingly absent. Allied
flyers and balloon observers have
been working in perfect security, OBJ.

once a German stronghold, but storm
ed and captured by the British early
in their great offensive.
Imagine a giant steam roller pass
ing over any American town of two
thousand inhabitants and you get an
Idea of Fricourt today. The little
French town has been literally wiped
Off the map. The German dug out
and shell holes represent the spike
holes OF huge steam roller. The
rest Of the town is flattened in debris.
Here and there from the hole Of q
battered in German dug out comes a
sickening stencil that tells of piles OF
corpses. The scene at Fricourt is
typical of that in any of the other vii
iages blotted out by high explosives.
High British officers say that the
purpose Of the British offensive is not
speed but to recover by slow. steady

and Belgian territory at minimum
expense OF human blood and by heavy
expense of powerful explosives, of
which there is an ample supply. Fight
