PROHIBITION BLOCKED.
BUT ONLY FOR A TIME
Senator Sheppard Likely to Obtain
Vote on His Proposed
Amendment.

Senator Sheppard of Texas made an
other effort today to have a time fixed
for voting on his resolution proposing
a constitutional amendment for nation
wide prohibition, asking unanimous
consent Of the Senate for that pur-
pose.
Again Senator Penrose objected, al
though he denied that he had any in
tention Of filibustering against the
resolution or of preventing a vote. He
suggested that certain senators were
out of the chamber who were inter-
ested In the matter and asked Senator
sheppard to bring the matter up later.
1t IS reported that the "wets" have
about decided to let the resolution
come to vote in both the Senate and
House, that they would prefer to have
the prohibition matter put up to the
states in this way than to have 1t
forced upon the country as a war meas
ure through the enactment Of further
laws by Congress. They realize that
1t VIII take some time to get action
~ the states on the matter and that
the proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition can be blocked by action of
thirteen states, since 1t takes three
fourths of the states acting favorably
to ratify constitutional amendment.
Hope in End Of War.
There is also tho hope that the war
Will be over before the amendment can
be acted upon and that the country will
In normal times be loath to adopt
nationwide prohibition. Senator Shep-
pard will renew his request for a vote
on the resolution and it is expected he
will get an agreement

Retreat of Russians
Degenerates Into Rout,
Say Teutonic Reports

CoPENHAGEN. July GA semi
ollGiai German report describes as a
strlkins panorama the retreat of the
hnssian armies in Galicia. Retiring
columns stretching to the horizon can
plainly be observed from numerous
vantage points. The retreat occa-
sionally degenerates into a full rout
particularly under the influence of the
Austro-German field guns, which are
abreast the infantry vanguards, and
oash forward to hill to perform,
where they pour a demoralizine fire
into the masses crowded in the roads.
Additional quantities of munitions.

captured. Another report says that

Cut Behind Russ Lines.
A special dispatch to the Berlin
Zeitung Am Mittag from East Galfcia
says detachments are pressing forward
by forced marches south and south
eastward from the gap in the Russian
line, cutting in behind Russian lines,
and that the Russians cannot possibly
save their big military depots at
koseva and Krzyve.
The dispatch says that to the north

killed In the fighting.
Tarnopol Magazines Fired.
Telegraphing from the Galician front
the correspondent of the Berlin Lokai
Anzeiger says:
THE Russians kindIed the great
magazines at Tarnopol to prevent them
falling into Austro-German hands. The
wooden warehouses in which the mill
tary supplies of the entire eastern Ca
lic1an front had been accumulated have
been burning fiercely since Saturday.
The detachments intrusted with the
work Of destruction kindled everything

district before the evacuation"

Catastrophe Threatened.
An Austrian semi-of1cial statement
The disorganizing effects of defeat
upon the Russian organizations are
steadily spreading from sector to sec
tor. The Austro-German operations are
so placed as to drive a large part Of
the Russian army from the natural line
of communications and force retreat
over difficult and unprepared routes

for troops In good order, threatens q

q protest be lodged against attempts

Stepping Stone to Corruption.

George Bernhard. in the vossische

evil as Herr Wolff in what he terms
'the latest manifestation of parlia-
mentary irresponsible unrest" namely.
1.-The exercise of influence by members

on the floor of the house, to obtain
desired results. He agrees with Herr
Wolff that this brand of parliament
tarism Is the stepping stone for par
liamentary corruption, and worse than
no parliamentarism at all.
Herr Bernhard says that the events
of the last weeks have resulted in moth
ing positive except change of chan
cellors. Germany, he adds. will in time
receive number Of ministers OF state
and secretaries under this change, In

Beginning to Wake Up.

Under the influence of articles like
that in the kreux Zeitung. and with
time for calm reflection upon the Inn

the German liberals and radicals are
beginning to wake from the eoporino
content induced by their apparent VIC
tory in the recent internal crisis ana
the adoption Of the peace resolution.
The reichstag. Theodore Wolh writes
in the Tageblatt. accomplished abso-
lutely nothing for the inner renaissance

process a stimulation of parliamentary

Conditions in Berlin.

The correspondent gives as two OF
the most striking impressions upon
his return to Berlin the disappearance
of children who have been sent to the
country in thousands and the appear
ance of a new type of Berliner, lanR
individual with skin hanging in folds
who has supplanted the corpulent Ger

appearance of vegetables owing to the
drought. Green groceries display only
lemons and onions.
Want Fruits Of Victory.
The Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin. organ of
the conservatives; declares that the speech
before the reichstag of Chancellor
Michaelis did not signify acceptance OF
the formula of peace without annexations
or indemnities. and that neither Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg nor Emperor
William is minded to deprive himself OF
the fruits of victory by adherence to the
surface meaning OF the resolution adopted
in tho reichstag.
More liberal newspapers, like tho Vor-
waerts and the Tageblatt. take issue with
the kreuz Zeitung and demand that the
chancellor make q clear and uneQuivocal
declaration of his standpoint and disavow

speech.
1T cannot be the intent of the lead

progress of our arms or the full util-
iZation Of the advantages purchased
with our blood. The chancellor could
not wish to say that, and did not.

things were ordered. Rare qualities
were bestowed upon rare things, and
these qualities are often such as
would have made the world less use
full to man if they had been impaired
to the more abundant minerals.
The distribution of the precious
things of the earth is a profitable
subject of reflection. Gold is found
in certain kinds of rocks, but by no
means in all rocks Of those kinds.
1t exists in many places in such
small quantities, or so widely diffused
in minute particles, that either it
would cost too much to recover it. or
it could not be recovered at all. Yet
in certain localities it has been col
lected, through various natural agen-
cies and deposited in veins, reefs and
nuggets, so rich and abundant that its
presence gives those localities a pres
tige which all the world willingly ac-
knowledges. But the geologist can
not tell before hand whether newly
discovered spot will or will not prove
to be land of gold.
