BITTER FIGHT IS

Prohibition Section Of Food

Washington, June 27.-The prohibi-

dangers the whole legislative pro-
gram.
The food control bill is blocked by
the tremendous confusion resulting
from the sweeping dry amendment by
the house.
Threats and counter threats from
opposing factions have brought about
a situation perhaps unprecedented in
the upper branch.
AS result reaction has set in in
force against the drastic dry measure
as an adjunct to the food bill.
Letters and kilograms poured in
from all sections and from all fac
tions, the rabid prohibitionists regard

uie and others urging against hitching
prohibition to the food measure.
Meanwhile prohibition advocates are
studying arguments of experts as to
loss of revenue if the liquor amend
ment passes.
Such estimated losses as s750,00o,-
600 in federal taxation and $4,000 ,000,-
600 in state and municipal taxes and
licenses are claimed.
In addition to the prohibition fight
the food bill is threatened from an
other angle.
There is an effort to overload the
measure SO it cannot move. Senator
Reed (Mo.) and numerous others say
If the food is controlled, steel, oil,

London, June 27.-General Petain

1t is in this sector between Caronne
and Cerny that the most feasible route
lies to the German fortress of Laon,
the vital spot Of the whole German
line on the French 'front.'
The latest efforts by the French
seems to indicate that their chief COM
mand has no idea of letting control of
the situation here slip from its grip
under the nagging tactics recently
adopted by Won Hindenberg, who has
been trying his best by thrusts here
and there to wrestle control of domi-
mating points from Petain's forces.
The French troops which penetrat-
ed the German lines northwest Of
Hurtebise on the Aisne front were
elected by counter attack from the
greater part of the position they had
occupied, German army headquarters

a very stubborn man; while the contrary,
among Grants most valuable characteristics were
his open-mindedness and his wonderful faculty OF
putting lessons once learned into practice.
Behind that impassive face this silent man was
holding substantial scheme for putting down the
secession. This scheme embraced the general
movements Of all the great armies OF the United
States and involved the intelligent cooperation
of half score OF loyal general commanders.
Grant had evidently such implicit confidence in
this general plan that incident Of battle march

NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
RochamboIite, Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Terrible
Effect or Enemy.

Rochambolite is a new and terrible
explosive that has recently been intro
duced on the western front by the
French and employed in the defense Of
Verdun, says the Argonaut. The ex-
plosive, when tested in action at Yer
dun, was found to possess a most ter
rible and demoralizing effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive is a powder which,
upon ignition, changes into a molten
metal and a very large volume of gas
in an infinitely small space Of time.
This scdden change in volume and
the terrific heat which is generated
cause an immense pressure on the
walls of the vessel that contains it,
shattering the walls and hurting the
molten metal and wall fragments in
all directions, spreading death and de
struction in their path.
The effect Of this molten metal on
the Germans can hardly be imagined.
Pieces of metal upon striking them i'm
mediately burn their way deep into
the flesh, even to the bone, causing
intense pain and suffering to the vic
tim. So deadly and so demoraliZing
have the French found this explosive
to be that they are now utilizing 1t on
the entire front.

ULYSSES S. GRAMMAR AND SOLDIER

By practically unanimous verdict, Ulysses S.
Grant is named as one Of the few great military
chieftains of the world. And the closest scrutiny
of his work will convince US that his fame rests
upon the most substantial foundation; upon sue
cess unqualified and unQuestioned; upon the car
rying through to its fulflment of the most stu
pendous projects, involving such perplexing and
elusive problems as are only to be encountered in
the art of war, Henry E. Wing writes in the New
York Christian Advocate.
And he won his success without any OF the
purely personal advantages with which, in the
popular fancy, the ideal hero is endowed. Grant
was not handsome I mean there was
nothing specially attractive in his bearing. He
has the reputation of having been a wonderful
horseman; and he was, Of certain sort, riding,

side Of the stately and dignifed Meade and BuFE-
side or the splendid and dashing Sheridan and
Hancock. His habitual conduct exceedingly

innate difidence, bordering real bashfulness.

Many of those who visited the battlefield to- day were relatives of the French sol diers who fell in the historic conflict. The graves of the dead were decorated with flags and wreaths sent from Paris by various patriotic and civic societies. A movement is afoot to make the anniversary of the battle of the Marne permanent French mem- orial day, to be observed after the manner of the day annually celebrat- ed in the United States in memory of those who fell in the American civil war.

BLAME GERMANS FOR STRIKES IN
 PACKING PLANT

Kansas City, Sept. 5-German ropaganda is suspected in the strike of 200 employees in the cannin:5 de- partment of the Cudahy packing plant here, who walked out yester- day afternoon, according to federal agents who are making an inve"t!5a- ton today.
 When 200 of the opera tives sfarted back to work this morning agita1o"s urged them to join the strikers, who have asked for an eight-hour day and higher wages. It is said that seVeral of the agitators spoke with q decided German accent.
 Federal authorities said the s'ls- picion of German propaganda arises from the fact that the Cudahy plant is filling war orders for the United States government and for the allies. The belief is strengthened, aurhor- itics say, by the non-eXistence of a union and by the fact that 10 de nands had been made upon the pack ing company previous to the walkout yesterday.
