tried to gain the adoption Of an amend
ment. giving any State the right to re-
woke its ratification Of the amendment
at any time before three-fourths Of the
States had taken that action. This was
voted down Overwhelmingly on a viva
VOce vote
support OF and opposition TO the
resolution was not divided on party or
geographical lines Representatives Of
both the big parties from the same
States voted for and again the measure
without regard to party or any other
consideration apparently than their
own cOnN lotion. Representative Webb,
OF North Carolina, led the dry Demo-
Gratis opposing Representative Gard, Of
Ohio, at the head OF the Democrats
opposed 10 the resolution Represen-
tative Volstead, Of Minnesota, was the
Republican leader favOring the amend
ment while Representative Graham. OF
PennsylN ania, directed the fight Of the
Republicans opposed to submitting the
amendment 20 the States
More than half a hundred speeches
were made during the six hours de-
bate The amendment was denounced
as being an invasion Of the powers
and rights OF the States and because il
might impose the will Of. a minority
upon the people Of the country. It
was defended by rs advocates as be-
ing a vote for a referendum rather
than a straight out prohibition vote.
The galleries were packed from Ions
before the time for the opening Of the
session until the vote was announced.
The majority Of onlookers were
workers for the dry cause. They
Joined in the roar Of applause which
greeted the announcement Of the vote
on the resolution.
After explaining the purpose of the

amendments made to the resolution as
it passed the Senate Representative
Webb said in opening the debate:
Samuel Gompers never did and never
viii speak for the American Federation
Of Labor in opposition to the National
Prohibition amendment. AS Mr.. Bryan
said in answer to Mr.. Gompers It would
be q SANDER TO intimate that the great
laboring classes Of this country have TO
measure their patriotism by the quart
or schooner. II is not so. Mr.. Gompers
says he does not represent the Amerl-
can Federation Of Labor in his letter
TO me opposing this amendment and
that is So"
Mr. Webb then read 10 the House
several letters he had received from
labor leaders all over the country, who
urged the passage Of the dry amend
ment.
"Intelh gent labor has risen up and
repudated the Gompers idea that we
ought to keep Iaborers drunk in order
10 keep them at work VIII lie we keep
our soldiers sober TO keep them in con-
dition 10 nght," Mr. Webb SAID. "That
would be the attitude that Congress
would put labor in II we failed TO pass
this resolution"
In his closing argument Just before
the vote was taken Mr. Webb empha-
sized the fact that a vote for the resolu-
ton was not necessarily a prohibit
ton vote, but merely indicating a will
ingness to let the nation decide through
the actions Of three-fourth Of the States
whether the entire nation would go dry
or not.

700 Victims of German
Frightfulnes Aboard Ship

NEW ZEALANDERS
BADLY u OUNDED

Wilmington workmen, employed at
the Harlan plant OF the Bethlehem
Steel Company. who have been at New
port News. Va. attending a gov eminent
school Of instruction. that ought 10
show them how to teach others, are
telling Of a wonderful experience they
had when a steamship with 700 wound
ed New Zealand soldiers stopped there
for coal and supplies
The soldiers were so severely wound
ed as to never be no for active service
again, some having no legs, some with
out arms. while others were gas VIC
tins and are liable to a speedy death.
The three ngtOnians-Wllliam
Lind. Of the riyeting department. John
Gilmote, Of the clippers and caulkers,
and John Strobel, OF the htters-made
up a little party and took six OF the
wounded who could walk out to dinner
one evening. The local shipbuilders
spared no expense. and the menu was
oombed for good things for the inner
man As a result the eX-soldiers de-
clared it was the best meal they had
had in the three years they had been

diers verified accounts that have been
coming to this country about German
atrocities. These men also gave the
unNarnished narrative that Is not per-
missible In print, because Of the hor-
rors perpetrated by The Teutons.
One Of the incidents related by the
New Zealanders concerned an attack in
which they took part A portion Of
their regiment fought their way into
a first line German trench The Al
lies wore driven back. but returned to
the attack. When the New Zealanders
again reached the trench their COM
rades were either dead or dying cruci--
ded-by being nailed with outstretched
arms in the trench.
The trickery Of the Germans enraged
the Allied forces When caught In close
quarters the Germans would fall TO
their knees and pray the English 20
spare them for the sake Of their fam
HES But as soon as the. English turn
ed their backs the Germans would cow
ardly and traitorously attempt to shoot
them.
But things are different now, the
Wilmington men learned The Allies
are not caught a second time that way,
and unless a German is unarmed he is
often dispatched.
The only thing the New Zealanders
had TO complain about was the kind
manner with which the Germans
when taken prisoners were treated In
one instance there was a number Of
Teutons taken, and when IL came time
TO eat, there was not sufficient bread
to go around SO the Germans were
given the fresh bread while the Englsl
troops were given the bareback

sILAGE REDUCES BEEF COST
Result Given Of Steer-Fceding Test
Made at Missouri College Of
Agriculture.

= Steer-fecding test recently COM
plcted ut the Missouri College Of Agri-
culture illustrates the possibility Of re-
ducing the cost Of beef production by
the extensive use Of corn silage. Six
teen head Of two-year-old steers fed
for 130 days made an average gain in
live weight Of 322 pounds per head
They were fed 3.16 tons of corn silage
T5O pounds Of alfalfa hay, and SOB
pounds OF co.ton-seed meal and old
process linseed oil meal per steer.
They received no corn other than that
contained in the silage. BY this meth
Cd Of feeding fairly satisfactory
grade Of beef can be produced, and it
is possible to fatten three steers on an
acre Of good corn instead Of one,
which was usual under former meth
DDS Of feeding.

Who Is the man Of good will? It
Is he who has a choice of happiness,

The best Of the fairy tales are
folklore, giving the boiled

teach are the old, old facts of
human mature PIT into visiJlc

teach morals By preccpt, but

haze such an effect on the
small, objcctiue soul as is pro-
duccd by the vision of Santa
Claus acith his aohitc beard and
twinkly eyes coming wih toys
