peace agitator and alleged German
spy, has disappeared from his usual
haunts in Petrograd and his where
abouts is not known to the government
authorities. The stories published in
the United States that Lenine had
been seized by the police at Ozark,
Finland, on July 81 and that later he
had escaped during n battle between
government agents and anarchists at
Tornea. Finland, are said by the Of
ficials to be untrue.
y vague story was current in Petrc-
grad July 2S that the suspected Teu-
ton agent had fled from the capital to
kronstadt, that he had been smuggled
through Finland to Stockholm and al
ready had reached Germany. No Of
ficial confirmation OF this report could
be obtained. Another rumor current
yesterday was that Lenine was oper-
ating in Stockholm.

The government. it is stated, will
take no notice of the latest German
effort. Secretary Lansiugs speech, al
though delivered before the Michaels
interview was published, is taken as a
complete answer in stating that peace
can come only when the united force
of the worlds democracies has over
thrown the German military system.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
BEFORE THE SENATE
Both Sides Claim a Majority.
Issue to Come to Vote
Wednesday.

Washington, July So.-National pro-
hibition came before the senate today,
and the two factions reached an agree
ment to vote Wednesday. Both adyo-
Gates and opponents of prohibition and
dry leaders predicted victory by one
or two votes more than the necessary
two-thirds majority. Senator Shep-
pard of Texas planned to open debate
on this resolution proposing submis-
sion to the states of a constitutional
amendment for national prohibition.
Further discussion was expected to oc-
cupy most of the senates time until
the vote Wednesday. The resolution,
if adopted, would have to run the
gauntlet of the house, which killed a
similar proposal in 1914.

They went to each one and made a

Dogs and Ponies
Are Not Puppets
Rules Co. Clerk

When is a pUppet not a pup
Answer: When it is a dog and pony.
At least that is the answer given
the Gentry Bros dog and pony
show when its representative called
at the county auditors office TO buy
and pay for the license required for
exhibiting in South Bend.
Frank Gentry, one Of the brothers,
who made dogs and ponies famous.
was a member of the legislature last
session. He found the laws govern
ing the fees collected from travelling
shows differing with every town.
since no state law covered the sub
ject and each town had a set OF
councilmen who thought differently
on the matter. In some towns the
shows were simply at the mercy of
town clerks. If the town clerk had
Ia particularly large family-good
night, SO Rep. Gentry thought he
would fix things in good shape and
end the petty grating Of town and
CITY officials. He sponsored and sue
ceeded in having passed a law max
ing uniform the fees charged all
shows exhibiting i'm the state.
Now here comes the fun. Puppet
shows were only charged a fee of
81. Circuses were charged from $40
up. according TO the number Of cars
they used in transportation. And
when the Gentry Bros. representa-
tive went to the auditors office TO
pay for his permit he was charged
SIS as a travelling circus.
But we come under the head OF
2 puppet show and should pay only
81" protested the representative.
That's all we ever paid and Frank
Gentry himself had the law pass
ed. so 7 guess we oughta know.
Nothing doing. you are circus.
A puppet show is something else
again" he was told.
And the SIS license fee was paid.
Query: What good does il do a
fellow 10 be a member Of the legis-
lature if he gets caught up on his
own pet law?
