GERMANY UNDER PROHIBITION.

The German army was practically
nobilized under prohibition, Miss. Mar.
Earet Wintringer tells in the Un.5p
Signal. Germany actually clambered
over the wheels of the water wagon,
she says, by reviving the law of the
state Of seige enacted in 1851. ''For
an unheard Of six weeks even beer was
under taboo in all German villages.
And to these six weeks Germany owes
her initial success in the war. But
ere firmly seated she fell off the wa
ter wagon. In October the law Of the
State Of Siege was lifted and there fol-
lowed the wretched village orgies, and
the atrocities in Belgium which have
forever blackened Germany's escutch.

LUMsERJAcks OPPOSE SALOONS.


A good argument for prohibition is
furnished by the action Of Washing
ton lumberjacks. About fifty Of these
men had been fighting fires in Idaho
and Washington (both dry states) and
refused to 60 into Montana to perform
the same service because they feared
that If they exposed themselves to the
temptations Of a wet state, they would
lose oil their earnings in the saloons.
So they turned down an appeal for
help at good wages and remained in
dry territory.

EXEMPTION CLAUSE
MUST BE MADE Plain
Fear Insurance Bill May MuI-
tipIy Married Mems De-
pendency Claims

Washington, Aug. PA new fight
in congress to preserve the rights of
married men under the draft is pend
ing. Fearful lest the soldiers insurance
bill will be regarded as sufficient
grounds for multiplying dependency
claims from the head of household,
amendments will be offered to clearly
define this point.
The provost marshal general IS office
holds "there is no ground for exemp-
tion of married men except dependen-
cies. If law providing for the depend
ents both before and after the death of
the man supporting them is passed, the
claim for exemption would be weaken
ed. -
"We must safeguard the married
men under this bill, ;" Senator Weeks
said today. "The danger is very great
that tremendous injustice will be
done if the act is construed that way"
tAs construed by the provost marshal
general IS office.
Senator Lewis said the measure must
be made to say exactly what it means,
cit is certainly not intended to mean
that married men with dependents shall
be forced into the draft army" he
said.
This point promises to be the only one
upon which any great fire will center
when congress takes up the bill. Senat-
cr Simmons, who will be in carge of it,
says the finance ommittee will rush
the measure through to favorable re-
port with practically no changes OF
hearings.
Opposition to the general soldier in
has been laid to private insur-
ance companies by Chairman Adamson
of the house interstate and foreign com
merce committee and by senators who
say insurance men are trying to emas-
eulate the bill.

A FRENCH GENERALS TRIBUTE

Has It not occurred to the reader
that most OF the Instruments with
which we fight have been either in.
vented or perfected by American in
gonuity? How much the science Of
war owes to America for the steam
ship, the gunboat, the submarine, the
torpedo, the telegraph. the telephone,
the microphone, barbed- wire, the re-
volver, magazine rife, the machine
gun, and the airplane.
You will not be- called upon, in the
new form of offensive, TO sacrifice
American lives as we have sacrificed
French lives. But you alone can
make possible a complete victory
with little further sacrifice OF life. You
alone can hasten the end. When the
Germans realize that We have the ma
lerial TO make defense OF their present
or any other lines impossible they will
have TO give I'm. How can we force that
realization upon them? By cannon and
shells without limit, and the means to
TRANSPORT them to our battle front; and
by aIrplanes without limit. We welcome
me American nag on our front but the
success Of our offensive Is more depend
ent upon American factories and ship
yards.-Gener;L MaIleterrs In Harper's
