VOLUNTEERS SHY
Drive for 10000 Men in a Week
Now $4,000 Short.
Kansas Has Contributed but 81
Per Cent of Quota.

Washington, June 27.-With re-
cruiting week half gone, war depart
ment officials estimated today that
the regular army is still more than
SO. 900 men short of war strength, the
goal it had been hoped to attain by
Friday night.
On the face of the returns it is APP
parent that there has been no general
response among men of military age
to President Wilson's call for 10000
volunteers during the week to fill up
the ranks of the regular establishment
and thus complete the first big mill
tary preparation in the war against
Germany. Returns for the first three
days. in fact, were below the average
of the preceding weeks.
Yesterday twenty-siX states report
ed that they each had secured during
the day less than ten recruits. Three
states reported no recruits at all
Only Nine States Furnish Quota.
Undoubtedly the remaining days of
the week will see greater activity and
officials still hope greater returns will
result.
ONLY nine states are on the honor
rolls of those which have completed
their quota of war volunteers. Only
eight others have their quota rs per
cent complete. Twenty are below the
so per cent line and six are below 70
per cent. Nevada has set a mark for
all the other states with her total of
war volunteers to date exceeding her
quota by a ratio of almost four to one.
called upon for 1872 men, the state has
enlisted $40. Oregon and Utah are
running a neck and neck race for sec
ond place with their over-enliSting ap-
preaching the 200 per cent mark.
Down at the other end of the line is
Vermont with only 10 men of a quota
of 10. Percentages of other states
included Nebraska, 81; Missouri, Sc;
Kansas. s4; Iowa, 10; New York, 70;
Oklahoma. AZ

TO FIGHT
Limit Reached in NOrway's
Submission to Germany.
Find Bomb Plot To Terrify Ma
ton and Sink All Ships.
BY LOWELL MELLET.

London. June 27.-Norway has
reached a crisis in her relations with
Germany Judging from information
received here today, there is reason
to believe she will not submit tamely
to Germany's arrogant demands as to
her commerce and shipping, despite
her desperate desire to maintain
peace.
Well informed Norwegians in Lon
don recognize the military purposes of
Germany's continued destruction of
Norway's shipping. They see the rea-
sons for Germany's systematic cam
paign to wipe out Norwegian ships by
submarines no less than the remark
able German bomb plots recently I'M
covered at Christiania. The German
campaign has already reduced Norwe-
gian shipping by almost one-third of
its total before-the-war tonnage. If
it is continued, it means the practical
elimination of nations shipping.
Norway is now exporting great
quantities of fish, iron ore and nickel
to England, while exporting practical
ly nothing to Germany. 1t is this fact,
it is believed here, more than anything
else, that impelled the German au-
thorities to try the terrorist scheme
of having German agents smuggle
bombs into Norway to put aboard Nor
wegian ships-a deliberate effort to
wipe out Norways merchant marine
as well as to frighten her shippers and
seamen.

WILL CLOSE DRYDALE
President Wilson to Establish Dry
Zone Around LeaVenwOrth.

Washington, June 27.-Drydale is
to be no more
Invoking the power given him by
congress to protect the soldiers of the
nation, President Wilson this week
Will declare a dry zone around Fort
Leavenworth that will include the
booze hole across the river from
LeaVenworth. While the order has
not been made. it was stated last
night by Raymond B. Fosdick of the
war department that it was Just a
question when the formal action could
be taken and the size of the zone.
This action followed a long confer
ence between Senator Charles Curtis
of Kansas and Secretary Baker and
later with Captain Fosdick. Senator
Curtis and other members of the dele
cation, including Representative An
thony, already had presented the mat
ter to the department.
Senator Curtis called the attention
of the department again to the need
of immediate action. He presented
the requests of Governor Capper and
Attorney General Brewster that the
government act at once and told of
resort. 1t developed that the govern
ment had had an Investigator on the
job sending in minute reports on con-
ditions at Drydale and the appeal of
the Kansas senator fell on ready ears.
1t was said that the order creating
the dry zone might be signed today
1t was checked up to Secretary Baker
late last night for final action. When
the order is made creating the dry
vision of the army law has been
formally invoked. altho a threat to
invoke it has got results from several
places.

Drastic Provision Similar to
Bill Passed by House.
Gives President Option of Per-
uniting Manufacture of Wine.
ANTICIPATE FIGHT ON FLOOR
Also for Control of Steel, Oil
and Farm Implements.
Would Shut Down All BreWerieS
and Distilleries During War.

Washington, June 27.-With dras-
tic prohibition amendments to pro-
hfbit the manufacture of beer as well
as distilled liquors and giving the pres
ident discretion to permit the manu-
facture of wine only, the administra-
ton food bill was agreed on today
by the senate agriculture committee
and favorably reported as a substi-
tute for the bill now under considera-
ton.
Senators explained that the effect
of the substitute prohibition plan
would be to prohibit absolutely fur
ther manufacture of distilled spirits
malt and fermented liquors, but give
the president power if he deemed it
advisable, to allow manufacture of
wines alone. A fight on the senate
floor was expected on the question of
stopping manufacture of beer.
Extend to Other Commodities.
The committee also approved extern
sion of federal control to steel and iron
products, petroleum and it's products,
farm implements and machinery. fer
! tilizers and binding Irvine material as
recommended by its subcommittee.
Adoption of the licensing section to
make it applicable only to agencies
and products in interstate or foreign
| commerce was adopted by the commit
tie as proposed by the subcommittee
This was regarded as one of the most
important amendments of the bill.
Hoovers Opinion Ambiguous.
1t is probable the president would
| lean on the judgment of Herbert
! Hoover, food administrator who re-
| Gently expressed the following opin-
ion on the subject of prohibition as a
conservation proposition:
ENTIRELY aside from ethical ques-
lions, my impression is thai we could
save between fifty million and sixty
| ing side, after allowing for fodder and
| that grain is of the utmost value to
the allies. On the distillipg side we
will probably want the whole capacity
of distillers for industrial purposes in
connection with munitions manufact-
ure. But With the establishment of
| food control and the use of installation
| of substitutes for grain in diStillation
we could save somewhere from TWEEN
! ty-five million to fifty million bushels
! of grain in the manufacture of indus
| trial alcohol"
The agriculture committee expected
to report the re-draft of the house bill
| today modified as follows:
| To include control of steel, iron, oil,
manufacturing machinery and kin
| dred products; to exempt the farmer
| from regulation regarding boarding
| and production: to exclude the power
| of regulating what shall be served on
the family table; to limit licensing to
products and agencies in interstate and
foreign commerce; and to prevent
government agents buying products
| for the government which the! them
| selves sell in the course of their regu-
lar business (this would affect many
members of the advisory committee OF
/ the council of national d efense.)

'Vic" Himself Said To Be Party
to Bourbon Filtration.
White and Star May Support
Him Over Capper.

Victor Murdoch, of Wichita, is a
possible-even a most probable-con-
tender for the Democratic United
States senatorial nomination next
year. Rumors of a smart political
coup are being whispered in political
circles and Murdoch himself is not
discouraging the move. At least that
is away down deep. heart to heart
gossip by number of men who know
many things of the moves behind
the political scenery.
The move to put Murdoch in the
race had its inception in the ranks of
anti-Thompson Democrats. But it
seems to have gathered outside aid
and assistance. In fact a plan reveal
ed to a State Journal representative
In Washington last week indicated
clearly that strong influences are to
be brought to bear to give Murdoch a
cloak of authority and standing in
democrat circles and qualify him as a
bourbon In advance of the 1918 sena-
torial scrap. Some of Murdock's old
friends and associates in the Repub-
llcan and Progressive parties are sup
porting the program, it is asserted
In spite of war activities and the
serious program before congress,
washington is talking political shop
secrets just as though nothing out of
the ordinary were happening. And
the Murdoch for Democrat senator is
a matter of more than passing con-
Germ and receives more than the us
ual consideration. If the gossip in
washington is correct, Murdoch is
right now carrying on an active flirta-
tlon with the senatorship.

sibflity that a bubble will break. And
