THE WORLD TURNS
 FROM FEAcE TO WAR

Three years ago today civilization Avas arrested. progress ceased and the world turned from beneficial con structien to the period of the worst destruction that the world has ever known Millions of men have died. other millions crippled for life. while the world has been made sad with the weeping of widows and orphans since that fateful day, Aug. 2. 1914, when the, German hosts set out for Belgium and France and lighted the spark that set the world aflame. No nation on earth has bee left untouch- ed, none has escaped suffering be- cause of this greatest of conflicts And, whereas formerly wars were carried on by governments, this struggle is being carried on by the entire population of nations. When the Germans set out for Belgium and France, Austria had already declared war on Serbia anu bombarded Bel grade, and Germany had declared war on Russia. but the full scope of the Teuton pians was not apparent until the second day of August when the. Kaiser's troops entered Luxem- bourg and appeared before Lege Belgium. demanding the right to march through King Albert's coun- trytry. The. demand was promptly refused Thus the doom of Belgium was sealed for its heroic army. de spite its brave resistance. could not possibly hope to accomplish much against the grey clad millions from across the Rhine. On the same day the French frontier was violated by tion of war, which was not issued until the following day.
 It was on the second of Augus that the first soldier of France wal killed. He was Corporal Peugeot whose name has become immortal ir French history as the first of the hundreds of thousands of Frenchmer who have laid down their lives fol the cause of France. He was sho fby German officer at Joncher, where he was on guard with othel Trench troops. helping to maintain neutral zone of ten miles betweel the German and French frontiers. II fhis manner 1t was hoped to aver hostilitiss at the eleventh hour. Cor poral Peugeot. fin time of peace { school teacher, was ordered with fou men to patrol the road from Jon lchery to Faverois. Peugeot, when h, found that the Germans had crossed f&uS IEO4tleI HI tnS utlSuDOInOOus dQ ivanced toward the German troop and made vigorous protest. accord ling to the French report, to Lieu tenant Mayer of the Fifth Regimen of German Chaasseurs, declaring tha lsince hostilities had not commences lkhe Germans had exceeded thei rights in crossing the boundary.

SENATE PUTS
 PROHIBITION
 UP TO STATES
(coptlnued From Page |,


 Senators say that this is the first time in the country's history that a constitutional amendment has ever had a time limit string to it. Thirty six states, the necessary three-fourths to ratify a, constitutional amendment, must have approved the bone-dry amendment within six years following the date the resolution is finally passed by both houses or it will fall to the ground. If, six years after the House has passed the amendment adopted by the Senate yesterday. only 35 or fewer states shall have approved it, all the work done in getting the resolution through Congress and in getting those s5 legislatures to ratify 1t will be lost.
 So the passage of the resolution by the House, which is conceded to be coming, whether this session or next, will transfer the fight of the prohibi- tion forces to the state legislatures The real battle will, lie in few states. It is probable, for instance that but little attention will be wasted on such states as New York and New Jersey. IThe "drys'' virtually have 25 ..sure'' states-states which are now bone dry or nearly SO, so that the will only have to make an uphill battle in Il additional states to ratify the amend ment.
