Army Surgeons to Fight Soft Drinks
 In Camps.

In Camps.
 "Soda pop" will he the principal thirst quenching beverage for the sol- diers of America's new national army if the war departmeIit's rules are rigidl ly adhered to. The department an nounced that while the rule barring saloons from within two miles of any cantonment camp would be rigidly en. forced, concessions inside dry zones would be granted to ice cream and soda water dealers.
 Army men recallcd that much of the stomach troubles of the soldiers on the border was due to overindulgence in charged soft drinks. Army surgeons say that despite the department order they would discourage the use of soft drinks at all hazards.

Will Hurry Move
For a Dry Nation

Washington, Aug. 4.-Senator
Sheppard, of Texas, author of the
resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution for submitting
the question of Nationwide prohi-
bition, announced yesterday it is the
intention of the dry" forces to urge
the Governors of the several States
to call special sessions of Legisla-
lures to act on the question.
AS soon as the resolution has
passed the two Houses" said Sena-
tor Sheppard, I'VE Immediately will
begin campaign to have the Leg
islatures assemble. We will take the
ground that this is a war measure
and should be disposed of as such.
within six months after it has
passed the Houses the measures
should be well on the road to ratifi-
cation"
Opponents of the amendment will
vigorously oppose it's consideration
as q war measure" declaring this
is a mere pretext since the Food and
War Revenue bills cover all ques-
tionS affecting liquor necessary to
conserve the war interests of the
country.
The big fight to be staged in State
Legislatures, it is said, is whether
the States are willing to relinquish
their sovereignty over the control
of the liquor question and vest it in
Congress.

Russian Cabinet Resigns
But Reconsiders Act;
Military Governor Shot

Petrograd, Aug. 4. - General Err
delli, military governor of Petrograd,
says the Bourse Gazette, has been
killed. He was treacherously shot in
the back.
Premier and War Minister Keren-
sky and all the other members of his
cabinet, except Vice Premier Nekras-
off, resigned last night. Later, with
the exception of NJ. Terestchenko
the Foreign Minister, they withdrew
their designations.
The action of Premier Kerensky
and his fellow Cabinet members
came about as the result of accusa-
lister of Agriculture, and a complete
breakdown of the negotiations to
bring the Constitutional Democrats
into the Cabinet. NJ. Tchernoff was
accused of having been connected
with the German General Staff.
A last attempt will lie made to
reconstruct the Ministry under
Premier Kerehsky with the chief
new members being exclusively from
the Socialist and Radical parties.
The Government accepted the
resignation of M. Tchernoff. who
stated that he left his post in order
to defend his character against cal
umny. The Government has ex-
pressed the conviction that NJ.
Tchernoff will succeed in rehabilitat-
ing himself.
Vice Premier Nekrasoff informed
the Associated Press that some OF
the documents supposed to incrimin-
ate NJ. Tchernoff already had been
examined. He considers the charges
against the Minister of Agriculture
as not being very grave, but the
Cabinet was obliged to accept the
resignation Professionally.

LLOYD GEORGE IN
SPEECH STATES
ENGLISH AIMS
Victory Must Be Complete"
Is Main Text of Address
Before Big Gathering
BY associated Press

London, Aug. 4.-David Lloyd
George, the British premier, in the
presence of distinguished gather
ing representative of all parties
which met this afternoon in Queens
Hall to mark the third anniversary
of the declaration of war, reiterated
the aims for which the entente allies
were fighting and indicated the only
conditions under which they would
consent to a suspension of hostili-
ties with the General powers.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the national war aims
committee and was probably the
greatest patriotic demonstration Of
the year. The expectation had been
that the premier's speech would be
most important one. The Marquis
of Crewe, leader of the Lilkral party
in the house of lords, was chosen TO
preside. He was supported by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, twenty
members of the government and one
hundred members of parliament.
Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign
minister, and Nikolai Pachitch, the
Serbian premier, were invited guests.
In the course of his speech Pre-
mier Lloyd George said:
Victory must be so complete that
our national liberty never again shall
be challenged.
Russia learned that an army
without discipline is a rabble.
There are some here who want to
set UP committees for the British
army and direct the conduct of the
war. We cannot allow q sectional
organization to direct the war or to
dictate the terms of peace. The ma
ton as whole made war and the
nation as q whole must make peace"
Killed Junkerdom
The premier on opening his ad-
dress asked what would have hap.
pened if Great Britain had not en-
/ tered the war. He answered this
question by saying
Europe would have been at the
mercy of a cruel military power.
Russia would have disintegrated
sooner. France would have fought
bravely but might have been over
whelmed. Americas Monroe doc
trine would have been treated as n
scrap of paper. The fact to-day is
that we have checked the ambitions
of Germany"
The British prime minister said
he did not trust the German peace
talk. Neither the Kaiser nor the
Chancellor" he declared, has yet
said he would be satisfied with Ger
man soil. They talk glibly about
peace but stammer over the word
| restoration. Before we have a peace
conference they must learn to use
the word restoration. So far they
have not learned even the first letter
of the alphabet.
CHASTITY Business
"War is a ghastly business, but it
is not so bad as their peace. While
they know their plot has miscarried
this time the Prussian war lords
have determined to succeed the next
time. There must be no next time.
This generation must eliminate war
from the tragedies of human life."
Continuing Mr.. Lloyd George said:
'If we SOW seeds of discontent and
disunion in the nation we shall reap
defeat.
| "a nation which falters before it
reaches it's purpose will never be-
come great people.
mo one in Great Britain, France,
| Italy and Russia or even in Ger
many, and Austria has any idea how
near we are to-day to the summit
of our hope"

1919 Recruits Fight
In German Armies

British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Aug. 4.-German officers
captured in the battle in Flanders ad-
init GermanyAs loss in manpower to
be serious. ~.
They say the entire class of 1918
recruits is now in the field, and that
small elements of the 1919 class al
ready are at the front, although 1t is
claimed they are serving only as
volunteers.
The whole trend of the statements
made by these officers is that they
are beginning to fear they may lose
the war. More depressing than any
thing else is the fear that there may
be another winter campaign.
Peace without annexation or in
demnity is indorsed by all the officers
who have discussed the question, but
most of them have indicated that they
favor the annexation of eastern Bel
gium and part of the coast of Flan-
ders. if such thing could possible
be done.
An officer who has made a study
of economic matters said the war
already was costing the Fatherland
ten billion marks annually in interest.
