SENATE TO VOTE
ON DRY" NATION
The Test Will Come Next Wednesday on
Prohibition Amend
ment

Washington, July 27.--A Senate vote
on national prohibition amendment
will be taken at o'clock next Wednes
day under a private agreement reached
by wet and dry leaders yesterday.
Debate on the amendment is to begin
Tuesday.
A part of the agreement is that the
amendment must provide that unless
ratified within six years by the 80 states
required to put it in the constitution it
dies.
To be presented to the state legisla-
lures the constitutional amendment re-
quires two-thirds majority in House
and Senate. Then hreefourths of the
states must vote to make the amend
ment part of the constitution.
There are now 25 dry" states, Senate
leaders say To make the amendment a
part Of the constitution the drys must
gain ii states in the next six years. If
the vets can hold IL states-one more
than one fourth-the amendment will be
lost.
Decision to vote so soon on the prohi
bition amendment is significant in view
of al. effort to have such test made on
the Smoot amendment to the food bill
directing President Wilson to purchase
bonded liquors.

More About the Recent Lecture on Ger
many.

To the Editor of The Times: There
is very considerable Indignation with
numbers of persons because of an article
in your issue of July 25, purporting to
come from a group of American patri-
otto citizens" A lecture on "Why Love
| Germany" in Cabot was given by one
/ who had resided for time in that coun-
try, loyal American, but learned to
love the German people and saw customs
of the people which were thought worthy
of emulation by Americans and others.
The address referred to was given at the
request of reputable citizen of Cabot,
who had heard the speaker short time
before along that line of thought, and
who was pleased and wanted that others
should hear.
The writer of the article seems to
have mistaken the spirit of the whole ad-
dress, and as the one unsympathetic lis
tener observed in the audience, numbers
of whom were quick to express their
pleasure in the service of the afternoon,
made himself many angry comments aft
ci the uuttlilS Cloecu, anu WAS idugntu
at by some to whom he talked. He
missed some main points, surely; among
them, that the speaker, who is a woman,
did not approve the German man in his
national setting, the kaiser being the
consummate product, and especially was
the dominating militaristic Characters
tic of the German man disapproved. He
dominates the home, and as national
figure wants to dominate the world,
which the speaker thought he should be
prevented from doing.
But the German people she loved, and
loves, and it was evident to the most of
us who listened that the speaker desired
to be helpful, helpful in the spirit of
love, that we might love the German peo-
pie with other peoples of the world and
that the war spirit may cease among us
and all, and many things for which the
Germans as people are given credit by
broad minded students it was desired we
might emulate for our good, the good
of all our people.
Since the writer of that article did |
not listen attentively to all that was
said on the occasion of which he speaks,
he might read carefully with profit to

ENGLISH MILL HANDS
ARE MUCH STIRRED
By the Report That the Lancashire Cot
ton Mills Are to Be Put on Short
Time-Industry Is Very
Important.

Manchester, England, July 81 GORE
spondencel The question of putting the
Lancashire cotton mills on short time is
causing good deal of anxiety among
the operatives.
There are at present in England So.
100000 spindles, 100000 of which are
controlled by the spinners' federation
and 100000 by the cotton spinners and
manufacturers association. This leaves
about 100000 spindles outside the fed
GRAFTON to take advantage of any limita-
tions that the members of the fedora
tion impose upon themselves. II is this
fact which prevented the voluntary
adoption of any short time by the fed
Grafton when it was recommended TO the
members, and when il would have been
less hurtful to the trade than it is likely
to be now under more drastic restric-
lions.
The Manchester Guardian says:
The growth and Importance of the
cotton industry may be judged from the
fact that the output of the mills, in adj
dition to providing for our home require
ments, represents about third Of our
total exports of manufactures. The cot
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-07-27

ton crops of the world average about
20 100000 bales, and in normal times,
England, with considerably over one
third of the spindles of the world, con-
sumes annually 100000 bales of cot
ton. If, therefore, there is big reduce
ton in the supply of cotton coming to
this country, and the price is inflated by
speculation, it becomes impossible to
keep mills running at full time.
There is something to be said for the
view that even our poorest customers III
India, China and Africa are able to pay
more for cotton goods than they do in
normal times, because the crops they
produce are bringing much better prices.
II is also fact that until recently cot
ton goods were not dear in comparison
with those made from other textiles.
Still, the fact remains that the present
range is very bad for trade.
I'm addition to that, the adversely in
the cotton trade Immediately injuries the
bleaching, printing, dyeing and finishing
industries. There are thousands of work
ers in those branches and, like weavers
and spinners, they have to submit to re-
duced earnings. Miners and transport
workers too are affected Thousands of
tons of coal which the factories con-
sumo when running are left in the coal
fields, railway labor is consequently re-
duced and the carrying companies are
forced to be idle. Any interference with
the requisite supply of cotton to the
mills means, indeed, big loss TO nearly
all the workers in Lancashire as well as
to the capitalist, professional and shop

the Uresidio silver mine, in Texas, was
in continuous operation during the first
six months of 1917, that mining was also
carried on during that period in the Van
Horn and Sierra Blanca districts, and
that several shipments of copper ore
were made from deposits in the Red

result was a small output of copper, lead
