vention, which will be held on the

Professor Tanner presided over the
meeting and in his opening address
referred to the memories shared in
common, and to the beautiful nature
Of Romsdalen which has influenced
the American settlers from that ma
tive tract.
I'VE are indebted to our native
home for many Of our best traits OF
character" said the professor. I'VE
should do our best to build our homes,
churches and make our lives as pure
and home-like as We had in Roms-
dalen'.

Feeling is Growing that Sen
ate Will Approve Bone
/ Dry" Law
LOBBYISTS FLOCK
TO THE CAPITAL
President Keeping Hands
Off Wanting Food Con-
troll Above All
(By Associated Press.j

Washington, June 26.-
The brewery and wine inter.
ests have begun a desperate
fight to induce the senate tC
modify the war prohibition
measures put into the food
control bill by the house.
The advance guards OF
these interests are already
on the ground with rein,
forcements pouring in hour
1y-lobbyists, advertising
experts and scientists among
them-to charge upon the
senate.
The army of f'small al
coholic content" champions
will endeavor to impress on
congress the wisdom of elm
mating beer and light wines
from the provisions of the
food bill prohibiting the use
of foodstuffs for the manu-
fact1re of. all alcoholic bev-
erages.
Until today there was a
general impression that
their arguments might pre-
vail, but now the feeling is
growing that the senate,
after a hard contest, will ac-
cept the houses prohibition
features to make the country
practically "bone dry" for
the period of the war.
Even the administration forces, in
cluding the president, who hoped that
the prohibition rider would not be
forced into the food control legisla-
tion at this time, have yielded to the
prohibition wave that seems to pre-
vail in both houses.
The president, 1t is known, wished
the food control controversy to be
fought out on it's own merits without
injection of the liquor issues
Now the president is keeping hands
off the injected issue, hopeful that the
food control bill will reach him fol
approval by July l.
The house bill was taken up today
by the senate agricultural sub-com-
mittee, which hopes to present its
draft to the senate tomorrow. Pros
poets are that important notifications
will be made.
It is expected that the principal
fight will revolve around the house
prohibition provision.
Members of the committee who are
worried over the question Of loss Of
revenue from prohibition, will discuss
the matter with the agricultural COM
mittee.
Debate on the bill continued on the
senate floor today.

English Minister of Agricul-
ture Addresses Message
to American Farmer
HELPING AS MUCH
AS THE SOLDIER
English Farmers are Dog
gedly Struggling to In
crease Grain Production
(Ry Associated Press.l

London, June 26.-"Discontent oi
the stomach is more to be feared than
discomfort of the brain-that is why
we value the cooperation Of American
farmers.
This statement was made. by r. e
Prothero, minister Of agriculture tc
The Associated Press today.
THE outcome Of the war;" said Mr.
Prothero, may ultimately hang or
the question OF food supplies, and the
American farmer is allotted the essen
tial part to play In the great struggle
for freedom.
This declaration, with a note ot
welcome to agriculturalists across the
seas, who "are determined to use
every ounce of their strength to wir
the war on the plow lands Of the
United States" was the keynote ot
the minister's message to the Amer
lean farmer. Discussing the mora
and material effects on agriculture by
the entrance of the United States into
the war, Mr.. Prothero continued:
THE president in his address April
Is, put to the forefront an appeal tc
the farmers. He bids them to carry
on to their plow lands the same spirit
that animates their brother allies In
ton factories. From the grim spec
tacle of human carnage and from the
feverfsh rage of piling up munitions
the farmer stands aIoof. Yet the man
who drives a plow is helping as is
the man who shoulders a rife.
"The need Of food for man and
beast is great whether peace is won
or war prolonged.
Replying to a question as to what
the United Kingdom is doing in the
way of food production he said fully
one-third of the labor usually employ
ed on land is taken for war work.
Short handed. harassed by a
hundred new difficulties. the farmers
are doggedly struggling to increase
grain production by half" continued
the minister. Upwards OF 10000
women in England. and Wales, old and
young, drawn from every section OF
the country, are toiling on lands, toll
ing hard and continuously. We have
quadrupled our garden plots.
There has been no complaint con-
cerning bread substitutes for the
wheat in loaf. The situation has been
accepted. 81
I'VE are further contemplating a
drastic reduction of our live stock SO
more grain may be available for hu-
man food.
These privations will have to be
endured but we do not fear such
shortage as would mean starvation.

Point Made Against Nonpar-

Hatton, N. D., June 26.-Resolutions
urging the temperance workers OF
North Dakota to work against the
adoption by the state OF the proposed
constitution known as H. B. a.,
sponsored in the last legislature by
the Nonpartisan league, were adopted
at the annual meeting here OF the
North Dakota Total Abstinance So
ciety.
There was not an opposing vote
when the resolution, which declares
that the leagues proposed constitu-
ton would permit the re-establish-
ment in the state OF the liquor indus
try, was placed before the convention.
Likewise, the convention went on
record as questioning the legality of
the whole procedure, challenging the
contention raised by league advocates
Of the proposed constitution that the
legislature has the power to submit,
to the voters, certain amendments to
the constitution, under the pretense of
submitting an entirely new constitu-
ton. ......
The North Dakota Total Abstinence
society, with a very large membership
Of prominent prohibition workers.
holds that the provision in the leagues
constitution bill, known as Article "a
of the bill of rights" would permit
the establishment of the liquor indus
try by political subdivisions of the
state. i, The article in question pro-
vides:
The right of the state or any
political subdivision to engage in
any private business or employ
ment shall not be denied.
Competent counsel have given opin-
ions to the effect that this provision
would be construed as abrogating that
feature of the state constitution which
prohibits traffic in liquor. The liquor
trafic, prohibition provision, 1t is held,
would directly conflict with the
amendment proposed by the Nonpar-
tisan league, and would fall by reason
thereof, since It comes under the
classification of business.
Under the leagues proposed amend
ment the state itself, or any OF its
political bdivisions-counties, cities
villaees, towns or townships-would
be permitted to engage in ANY kind
Of business or occupation" and temp
erance people fear the way would be
opened to the establishment of
saloons.
The convention adopted resolutions
congratulating Attorney General
LANCER on the handling Of the situa-
ton at Minot.
Oscar Menus, Cooperstown, was re-
elected president Of the society for
the coming year.

AMERICAN ship
HAS CLOSE CALL
Torpedo from Submarine
Misses Vessel by Less
Than Twenty Feet
(By Associated Press.l

An English Port, June 26.-Ameri-
can naval gunners successfully fought
off big German submarine which at
tackled an American passenger liner
off the coast OF Ireland Sunday night
A torpedo fired by the submarine
missed it's target by less than twenty
feet.
after the liner had been in the SUBJ
marine zone many hours. The large
number of passengers on board were
ready for any emergency.
A staff correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press was talking with the
lieutenant in charge OF the gun crews
when the ships officers on the bridge
sighted the wake of a torpedo as 1t
sped toward the bow. The lieutenant
Jumped to his station as the lookout
cried: Torpedo and submarine of
starboard bow,
he ship swung around so sharply
that the decks were tilted to an angle
OF 20 degrees. Immediately there
came the bark and flash OF q gun.
Passengers binding life belts about
themselves swarmed to the decks. The
ships officers hurried among them,
counselling calmness. Another gun,
this time pointed further astern. was
fred. The liner at that moment was
wallowing between two great waves.
The coming tower of the submas
rine, outlined for a moment against
the sky, was all that was visible to
the gunners in the darkness. They
soon lost sight OF the raider, and were
unable to tell whether any Of the
shots fired hit the mark.
Two minutes later gunners at the
stern Of the ship saw a coming tower
above the surface of the water in the
wake of the steamer. The vessel was
rolling so heavily that the gunners
were unable to get their gun pointed
before the submarine again disap-
peared beneath the surface.
Every ounce of steam available was
fed to the engines and the ship raced
out of the danger zone.
