Some Little Stories and
Gossip of the Legislature

The bone dry bill is up before the sen
ate this afternoon and several amend
ments have been proposed which will be
threshed out. Ii evidently is not dry
enough for the senate for the amend
ments proposed would cut out from the
list of those permitted 10 receive liquor
for certain purposes, fraternal societies
and about everything else. While so far
1t has not been proposed to cut off the
use tor sacramentar purposes, aud per-
haps win not be, there are some who
would go to this length and makeNno
exceptions whatever. Some of these hold
that as the use of wine is emblematieal
entirely, water would do just as well.
However, il is not expected that any
material changes will be made in the
bill other than those suggested with re-
gard to making the law still more dras-
tie. If the amendments are adopted the
bill will have to go back to the house
and the amendments be concurrcd in or
some compromise reached before the bill
can go TO the governor. With Tins pos
sibility in sight it may be the bill will

SITUATION MORE TANGLED

Great Britain has notified the world that she has
placed mines in certain waters near the coast OF the
Netherlands; and Germany comes back with the an.
nouncement that she has extended the zone inside OF

tons, and warning all such to keep out OF It, AT the
same time she establishes route which be travelled
with safety so far as she concerned by strictly pas
senger vessels These must be vouched for by the United
States as carrying conraband as defined by Germany
1t is in effect declaration that if England and the al
lies do not cease trying to starve the Germans that Ger
many will use every at her command to bring the
hunger phase of the war home to Great Britain and
France What the result will be can not be forecasted
nor can the course this country will pursue all depend,
ing on surrounding and circumstances OF individual
cases At first glance it would that this is breach
of the promise made this country by Germany that she
would not attack ships without warning The arming OF
ships "for defense by Great Britain these ships being
able to cope with submarines is another feature that will
have to be dealt with Germany claims this arming
makes impossible for her submarines to warn vesse

MOBILIZATION OF
ARMY PLANNED
Regulars Only 1000 Short of
Their Full War
Strength

Washington, Aug. 8. = Provost
Marshal General Crowder and his
assistants are at work on the final
set of regulations to be promulgated
this week to complete the organi-
cation of the selective draft war
army, They will govern the actual
mobilization of the men selected.
Statements issued to-day by the
War Department show that prelimi-
nary figures place the total force
of National Guard taken into the
Fedreal service August 3 at 1908
officers and 419,S34 men. Another
statement showed that 1S0,766 war
volunteers have been recruited for
the regular service since April /,
leaving only about 1000 vacancies
in tho regulars at war strength.
725,OOO Under Arms
These figures mean that approx
mately 725,000 men are now under
arms, exclusive of the navy and Ma
rine Corps, to be supplemented with
in the next few weeks by 6S7 900,
raised under the selective draft act.
OF the latter number about 100000
will compose tho third great ele-
ment of the war army-the National
Army-and the remainder will go to
fill up tho regulars and the Guard
and their reserves.
1t is regarded as likely that the
mobilization regulations soon to oe
issued will show that the surplus of
drafted men is to be used as a re-
cruit reservoir, and that all the men
will be put under training as quick
ly as possible. A recruit depot will
