SENATE AMENDMENT TO POSTAL
BILL ACCEPTED ~ HoUsG.
pFohIbIte ehipmsnts OF Liquor lase

Measure In Years.

Washington. Feb. 21.-Tho Senate
bone dry" amendment to the postal
bill prohibiting shipments Of liquor
into states which have prohibition
laws has been accepted by the HOUSE.
319 to r.. It is counted as one Of tho
most far-reaching prohibition meas
ures in years because it will make
absolutely dry states which now per-
nit shipments in limited quantities.
Every effort: to change the amend
merit was defeated overwhelming
ly. Cries of "bone dry" rang through
the House and the sentiment swept
the House until the last vote for con-
currence was cast. Members who at
tempted to explain that they were pro-
hibitionists at heart but stood TO.
states right were greeted with laugh.
ter.
Affects Fifteen States.
The amendment, incomparably the
most far-reaching prohibition legisla-
ton ever approved by either house Of
Congress, would raise an absolute bar
rier against the shipment of liquor in
to Is states. "A proposed amendment
by Representative Saunders of Vir-
ginia, which would have nullified the
Reed proposal, was defeated 2oe to
81.
Representative Webb of North Car
olina, father OF the nationwide pro-
l1bition resolution, voted for the Sauu-
ders proposal.
President Will Approve.
The Saunders amendment would
have made the Reed amendment ap.
ply only in states that are now ''bone-
dry" In effect, then, this would not
change the present situation in any
state. 9.
The bill is expected to have the ap-
prevail of President Wilson within a
week, adding Immediately to the bone
dry territory about one-third Of con.
tinental United States.

DANGER IN AUTO EXHAUST

Crosby Courier: SO many men have
been suffocated in garages, by auto
mobile exhaust gas, that the U. s. bu-
reau of mines have issued a warning
on the subject Automobile engines
should never be run in small garages
with door and windows closed. After
few minutes the air will become de:
cidedly dangerous. The poison gas
issuing from the exhaust is carbon
monoxide, colorless, odorless, tasteless
and extremely poisonous. The dan
gerous symptoms come almost without
warning; the victims suddenly collapse
and unless fresh air gets into the
lungs very soon the result is fatal.

ALLIED DIPLOMATS HOPE
j. S. WILL NOT GET IN WAR
Fear Germany Precipitated Break to
Stop Ammunition and Supplies
Being Sent From America.

Entente diplomats here frankly ex-
press their hope that the U.ited States
will not actually enter the war.
Several of the allies representatives
have let it be known that they enter
tanned growing fear that Germany
deliberately precipitated q break with
this country to hold American NUM-
lions and supplies here, thus cutting
off imports to the entente probably
more effectively than any single step
that the central powers could take
Immensely gratified over the break
with Germany and the moral condem-
nation thereby implied, the diplomats
have been surprised at the energy
which the American government has
shown in laying out it's plans for
eventualities. and do not conceal their
fear that military precaution may
force the United States to keep at
home at least a considerable part of
supplies now prepared for shipment.
Such an outcome, they say. would more
than compensate for a mere break in
relations. from the German viewpoint
Even If the United States, in the
event of war following the break
should undertake to army and equip
an army for operations in Europe. it
would require nearly a year of train
ing, it is declared, before it would be
wise to send the force TO the front.
In the meantime, the entente spokes-
men point out. all the effort and en-
ergy that this country might be put
ting forth toward the military defeat
of Germany would go into channels
that could not lead to that end, unless
the war were prolonged beyond all be-
lief.
The greatest military aid hoped for
from this country in entente circles in
of actual the SafpRnArdinI q
of American trade channels, including
the American end of the route to Eu-
rope and the section down through the
Caribbean, especially toward the Tam
pico oil fields. A great and unrestrict-
this a matter of first Importance and

naval forces.
