NEW 'DRY" BILL
IN SENATE
Would Prohibit Manufacture of Food
stuffs Into Distilled or Malt
Liquor During War.

Washington, June IA new bill ia
prohibit manufacture during the war of
foodstuffs into distilled spirits and malt
liquors was ordered reported yesterday
by the Senate agriculture committee.
Another provision of The bill would
empower the president to requisition ex-
listing supplies of distilled spirits If
necessary to conserve food supplies or
to secure alcohol for war purposes
The new bill is designed to act both
as food conservation measure and a
step toward prohibition during the war.
1t is not desired as substitute for Ell
Their the food production or the food
control bill--both now pending-but as
distinct measure combining many pro-
hibition resolutions and bills.
The bill would, by congressional act,
prohibit manufacture of non perishable
foodstuffs into intoxicating beverages
and authorize the president to prevent
such use of them.
The decision of the committee to re-
port this new bill Is a forerunner of one
of the most intense struggles of the
year over prohibition in the upper House,.
The outcome is doubtful. It's certain
that the Senate will cut off or restrict
the making of spirits. What will be

CENSUS WRONG,
STATE SUFFERS
ington Figures in 1910 Find That
Draft Will Take Heavy


Washington, June l4.-It is the fate
of one state in the union to be penalized
as whole for incorrect figures OF popu-
lation. The state of Washington must
supply twice as many men to the nation
al army as would be expected of it if the
facts tailed with the estimate of pop
ulation made by the census bureau. IL
appears that when the census was taken
in 1910 the ambitious citizens Of Washing,
ton succeeded in having their state ac-
credited with a larger population than
it possessed. When the census bureau,
basing its estimate of increase for reg
istration purposes upon the figures of
1910, announced that there were more
than 100000 men OF military age resi-
dent in Washington, the state was sup
posed to show up with about that num-
Der, making due allowance also for GER
tain things. But that when Washington
registered only about fifty per cent of
the census estimate it was evident that
mistake had been made somewhere,
and an investigation was begun. The
Washingtonians now have admitted that
their 1910 record of population was
wrong, but the war department, through
Provost Marshal General Crowder, has
the state authorities that they

| In letter transmitting the report to
the Senate. which ordered the investiga-
ton, the commission asked emergency
legislation to make the recommendation
effective. 1t declared that if the 1916
consumption of l,775.O0O tons of print
paper is equalled this wear the cost to
consumers will be 100000. 900, an in
crease of $35 900 900, or so per cent over
1915. and that one half of the increase
represents additional profits to manufac-
turers.
The voluntary agreement arranged
with manufacturers several months ago
for distribution of paper to publishers
at moderate prices was abandoned. the
commission reported. and the plan failed
because no government authority for en-
forcement existed. The situation is Sc
rious and likely to reach panic state in
a few moaths because of lack of suffi.

the commission.

Washington, June l4.-Deferring de-

Senators who favor the new bill of

pei vote on it. They will try to add
it as an amendment to the war tax bill

said he wanted to ascertain what was

In case of corporations making nc
profits during such period or if not in

cause it failed to make it impossible for

FALL OF

Greatest Victory Of

(United Press stan correspondent0
LONDON, Nov 22.-Cambrai center
of six railways, chief depot city for the
German communication lines in central
France was under fire Of British guns
today. Its usefulness as German
base is ended Not only has the Hin
denburg line been broken utterly but
the vitality important communicating
line likewise has been smashed.
All Britain celebrated today. There
was a holiday spirit in every smiling
face Just a little more reverence to
the uniformed soldiers in the streets
because their brothers were working
the modern miracle of war over there
and widest enthusiasm among the
Tommies themselves. Newspapers or
said British journalistic history delved
into remote type boxes TO blare the vic
tory across their pages in American
streamers.
The victory was regarded as one Of
the greatest strokes of the war. It was
achieved because British strategists had
the courage to try something new in
the catalogue Of war.
General Byng and his co-workers SO
minutely worked out the battle plans
that they had cavalry massed and ready
for action. few days ago a leader
would have been called insane had he
figured on utilizing mounted forces
against trench work. But Byng figured
it-and he figured right. Official re-
ports today told how in many cases
they rode full tilt at the charge on Ger
man artillery sabering the gunners and
capturing field pieces, Cavalry was
credited with the capture of two
villages.

simple rules for keeping fit at a time
when the country is making great de-
mands on all Of its men. civilians as

SINGULAR
EXEMPTION
CASE HEARD

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Nov 22.-De-
nouncing a an unnatural parent and.
therefore. impossible, father who
swears he viii not support his daugh-
ter in case her husband is called for
war. the appeal board for the Third
Indiana district has refused to grant
exemption to Eide Wagner of this city.
Wagners father-in-law James c.
Blacklidge Of Kokomo. filed an affi-
davit stating that he would refuse to
support his daughter II Wagner was
compelled to go to war. The appeal
board says in it's finding that Black
ldge is worth anywhere from a quar-
ter of a million to million dollars;
that he IS widower who maintains
a household. and that Mrs. Wagner is
the only child The board says it is
ridiculous TO think that Blacklidge
would refuse TO support his daughter.
and that it is all a scheme to shield
Wagner from conscription. The board
said:
I'm the presence of such facts any
affidavit Of unwillingness to support
his only child in case the conscript is
held for service is palpably insincere
and untrue and must he disregarded.
Any other view makes the afhant an
unnatural father. which is incredible.
To file such an affidavit is trifing
with the board. The board found that
the conscripts wife viii be supported
in entire comfort and even luxury.
The conscript has worked up his
case carefully and is ready in explana-
ton OF its various points. His own
father is able to support his wife. but
he also makes an affidavit OF unwill-
ingness Viewing the whole case in
the light of the actual facts, it may
well be regarded as a combined at
tempt to shield the conscript from
serving his country in his turn and to
compel the government to call another
man out Of his turn to serve and per-
haps die in the conscripts place.
