PROHIBITION AMENDMENTPASSEs

BY a vote OF 65 to 20 the United States
Senate yesterday passed the bill provid-
ing for submitting to the States the con-
stitutional amendment forbidding the
manufacture or sale OF alcoholic liquors.
The prohibitionists had eight more votes
than the necessary two-thirds majority.
The measure now goes 10 The House,
where it will undoubtedly pass il il can
be brought to vote.
This is the most important piece OF
temperance legislation ever passed by
the Senate.

The German Leaders again reiterate
that they are willing 10 talk peace terms.
But the decent nations OF the world will
never again trust government that

Germany until the Allies shall be able TO
impose such terms as will insure real
and lasting peace.

TO-DAY is the beginning Of the fourth
year OF the great war that has devastated
Europe and the evil influence OF which
has been felt in every part OF the earth.
Although there is now apparently no i'm
mediate prospect OF peace, tits certainty
that, happily for humanity and civilization
German domination will not prevail
through the world. Three years ago the
German plans for a march upon Paris
were, in the Teutonic estimation, abso-
lutely perfect. The capture OF Paris
meant the surrender OF France, the sub
sequent subiugation OF England, the con-
quering OF Russia, and German triumph
over all Europe and Asia. But plucky
little Belgium caused the first slip in the
cog OF the German machine when she re-
sisted the invasion, and though she paid
a fearful cost for her bravery, she gave
France breath at the right moment.
Turned back at the battle OF the Marine,
the German forces have never been able
to resume the success of their first rush
and never will
All the civilized world, all humanity,
all high-mnded peoples, are against
Germany. The Allies are still holding
out, and their position improves as stead
lily as Germany's prospects decline.
Now comes the United States into the
contest, and though we "have not yet
begun TO fight" our men and munitions
and money and supplies-all the re-
sources OF a rich and powerful nation
are pouring into Europe TO aid and en-
courage the Allies. When we are ready
TO strike, il will be fearful blow, and the
bloody throne OF the beastly Hohenzol-
erns will totter and fall and carry the
Kaiser and his militarists into the bottom
less pit they have spent the last half CEN
fury in digging for others.
We have no fear now OF the outcome
OF The war, though il may take year or
two years and much blood and treasure
10 finally bring Germany TO her knees.
She has shot her deadliest bolt and il has
not availed. She has used her best fight
ing men and they have not broken
through The Allied lines. Her submarines,
capacious and unspeakably cruel, will not
succeed in their purpose OF starving Eng
land. Fighting now with desperation,
her cause is lost, and she can only defer
The hour when the Allies will make terms
OF their own and forever end the blood
thirsty spirit OF militarism which has been
curse to the world through the imperial
German government.

THE country seems TO be staggered by
the announcement that the vast sum OF
$1,000, OOO, 900 will be needed this year
and next to carry on our part OF the war.
Still, if alcoholic liquors are forbidden
and sobriety shall prevail, most OF the
staggering will cease.

THE German government has called
upon the people OF that country TO give
up all their gold and jewels in order that
they may be turned into money for the
carrying on OF the war. Truly, Germany
is getting hard up-and the prospect is
for worse times ahead.

LAST Sunday week ago the benev-
client Kaiser sent fleet of aeroplaneS 10
England to observe the Sabbath by drop
ping explosives over certain peaceful
villages, killing number OF unsuspecting
women and children. Last Sunday this
same humane ruler sent another squadron
OF aviators over a small French town,
where they tried to take the lives OF some
400 children by dropping asphyxiating
gas bombs. The American Red Cross
workers fortunately succeeded in rescuing
the children.

AT conference of representatives OF
the allied powers in Paris few days
ago il was definitely decided to pay no
attention TO Gemany's efforts 10 bring
about a peace. Not one OF the govern
ments involved is willing TO trust to Ger
man honor or German promises, and il
was agreed that the war shall 60 on until
the Allies shall be in a position not only
to dictate peace terms, but TO see that
they shall be enforced for many years to
come.
Germany is an outlaw so far as civilized
society is concerned, and she must be
treated as an outlaw.
