Washington, July 6.-The death PEN
atty for booze, beers and wines, was de-
manded in dramatic speech by Sena-
tor Borah, Idaho, when the trial of in
toxicants was resumed in the senate
today.
Taking advantage of the three hours
the senate was in session before the
limited debate rule was put into effect,
those favoring absolute prohibition held
the floor.
''We do not know what is ahead of
us, Borah declared. But we do know
that every particle of man power must
be conserved for this great struggle.
We do know that that which under
mines, that which weakens and that
which destroys is the common enemy
of the liberty for which this great coun
try of ours stands sponsor.
Let us be patriotic enough to elm
mate this evil. Why compromised Why

"Drink demoralizes and weakens
everything it touches. Think of the
wrecks inside jails and asylums. Think
Of the widows and orphans left by
drink And, thinking of these things,
how in the name of our common ceun-
try, how in the name of those things
held dear and cherished within its
boundaries, can you hesitate to strike
the final and fatal blow"
Other Senators With Him
When Borah concluded, a dozen SEN
ators went over to his seat and shook
his hand. Anticipating dramatic scenes
today, the galleries were crowded and
the senate chamber was filled when Bo-
rah began his argument.
He was followed by Senator Thomp-
son, Kansas, who urged no quarter for
intoxicants of any kind.

(United Press staff correspondent
Washington, July 6-Short shrift
will be the portion of any proven Ger
man spies rounded up in the hunt for
betrayers of America IS transports.
The temper is that there should be no
dallying with men who endanger Amer
ican lives by tipping off American
military information, but that they
should be made examples of summar-
lily.
Meantime, while the spy hunt pro.
ceeds, President Wilson'S cabinet mar
create 'eentral intelligence" or Sc
cret service agency, co-ordinating and
extending the present lines. And some
thing will be done to curb German
Owned insurance companies, if it is
found, as popular rumor runs, that they
have been tipsters for the kaiser
Cable leaks will be stopped as the
most prolific means for informing the
enemy of America s plans.
Everyone here now realizes that
there was so little secrecy about pre-
parations to have the transports that al
spy did not need especial efficiency
All he had to do was keep his eyes
opeasand-if he had asspeeial advanced
code he could send it to neutral coun,
tries adjacent to Germany.

To Block This Leak
This leak to neutrals will be blocked
Officials are now convinced that
Germany could not have had advance
information as to the exact routes the
American transports were to take or as
to their rendezvous somewhere in the
Atlantic. These orders were sealed and
known to only three or four persons
in this country and to Admiral Sims,
in England. None Of those who had
this information are even under thei
slightest suspicion, being men Of the.
highest integrity and trust.
Germany, it is now assumed, had a
tip of the transport preparations and
probably OF their actual departure. !
Then she spread out her submarines on
likely routes, even stretching them be-
yond the usual death zone
The matter of coordination of secret
agencies now operating appeared like
ly to come up before today's cabinet
meeting. There is at present some con-
flict and duplication of effort.

now operating under permit from Presi-
dent Wilson, will probably be investi-
gated In insuring maritime risks these

time in history, probably, that an active

loss Of their hair than by the trousers
they wore.

Toxic, July 6.--Endless chaos in
China seems to lie ahead.
Dispatches today revealed the make
shift monarchy tottering on its THRONE
President Iii Yuan Hung Of the former
republican regime has escaped pursu

An armed clash is impending between
Peking and Tien Tsin between the two
factions in the monarchist ranks.
The monarchists have so far failed
to force President Ii Yuan lungs res
ignation, although the former execu
tive has so far failed to show any signs
Of a fight. General Chang Hsun, who is
attempting dictatorship Of China
through the thin disguise Of restoration
of the monarchy, is issuing one pr0cla-
nation after another.
His latest act has been to create
President Ii Yuan Hung prince. His
manifesto declares:
1.-THE president has been gukty OF
misconduct Of affairs Of stats thus the
Imilitaristsi opposition. So he requested
us to reign over the nation and resrug
the people from their miseries The pres

es and he will continue to serve Us and

The northern militaris.s and a ma
iority Of the older officials in China
welcome the restoration of the mon
archy, according to advices here. Many
Republicans prefer it, being dubious as
to the success of a republic at this
time. It is in the southern section OF
China, however, that the greatest OPP
position to the monarchy is apparent,
although in a military sense this see
ton is vastly inferior to the north.
Americans in Japan deplore the resto-
ration and their predictions Of an up
rising and vast internal adissension APP
pear likely to be borne out. There has
been certain amount Of opposition
manifested in the north Of China, but
mainly by military chiefs angered be-
cause they were not consulted on the
coup by which the republic was over
turned.
Japan will firmly maintain her neu-
trality in the present situation and Of
ficials believe other nations will do like
wise.
