STILL AFTER ROAD

The chamber of commerce is still
hot on the trail of new west APP
preach to Pullman and at it's meet
ing Tuesday authorized the roads
committee of the organization to
make arrangements for the visit of
IA large delegation of Pullman citi-
zens and farmers residing near Pull
man to the county commissioners in
the near future for the purpose of
impressing the necessity of the new
road upon the county heads. o. L.
Waller w. l.. Greenawalt and d. f.
Staley were named committee to
secure a complete survey of the pro-
posed new approach, leading from
the |. o. 0. It. cemetery to the O.-W.
K. & n. station, together with all
necessary data, to present to the
commissioners, Approximately one
fourth of the proposed road is outside
the city limits and it is thought that
county assistance can be secured. The
granting of easement privileges by
the railroad company precludes the
necessity of making the expensive
cut through the rock wall on State
street, reducing the cost of the i'm =.
proyement to a point which makes
the construction of the road posi-.
bility.

Des Moines, Ia Reporter Special
Service.
The first race antagonism that
has broken out since the officers
training camp for Negroes was estab.
lished at Fort Des Moines appeared
last night when j. B. Capel and l.. H.
Mcdowell, both members of Company
at the fort, were arrested at The
Empress theater upon complaint of
the management that they refused to
sit In the section reserved for colored
soldiers when directed to do SO by
the management.
The men claimed the right to sit
anywhere in the house that anyone
holding the same priced ticket could
sit.
The arrest was made by the house
officer at the Empress. The police
have instructions from Chief Jack
son not to make arrests involving any
discrimination against Negroes, &C.
cording to officials at the Second
street station.
The arresting officer took the SOL
diers to the guard house and told the
provost police to arrest them only to
be told that there was nothing doing.
The theater cop then wanted to re-
lease the men by returning their mon
ey or permitting them to- sit in any
place in the theater. The men refused
however, stating that he had the au-
thority to make the arrest, probably,
but that they did not have authority
to release themselves. It is rumored
that the theatre III likely to be closed.

PROGRAM OF KAISER is
TO GERMANIZE WORLD
Truce Move Is Solely to Give
Teutons Resting Period.

Washington, May %. - Germany's
next peace declaration, expected to
suggest a program of territorial re-
nunciation on the east and the west, is
regarded here as largely answered be-
forehand by information revealing for
the first time the full scope of the i'm
perial governments aspirations for
conquest in the south.
This information discloses as one Of
the primary aims of the war plan
for consolidation Of an impregnable
military and economic unit stretching
from the North sea to the Mediterra-
mean, cutting Europe permanently in
half, controlling the Dardanelles, the
Aegean and the Baltic, and eventually
forming the backbone of a Prussian
world empire.
A full realization of this situation
which will form a sinister background
for consideration of whatever renunci-
alton proposals the imperial chancel-
lor may make, adds new force to the
repeated declarations of Allied states
men that the German peace maneuvers
are in reality war moves and that a
premature truce only would give Ger
many resting period in which to fur
Their Prussianize and prepare for a
greater world war the territory to the
southeast, which she has conquered
under the guise Of friendly alliance.

PROHIBITION LEGISLATION
BELIEVED ALMOST CERTAIN
Sentiment in Congress Reported to Be
Strong for Some Action Among
Prohibitory Lines.

Washington, May 24.-Liquor prohi-
bition legislation impends both in the
Senate and House in connection with
the food bill and also only in the
Senate on the war taxation bill. SEN
ator Gore, chairman of the Senate ag-
riculture committee who will have
charge of the food production bill to
be pressed in the Senate today, said
the committee will resist any effort to
attach prohibition amendments to that
bill
Senator Gore is writing a prohibit
ton amendment to be offered to the
war revenue bill after it passes the
House. Various other prohibition pro-
posals are being considered by the Sen
ate finance committee, in which senti-
ment is reported strong for some &C.
ton along prohibition lines.
Senator Gore proposes a heavy tax,
virtually prohibitory, upon grains u.s.
ed for manufacture Of intoxicating bev-
erages and remission of taxes on dis
titled spirits withdrawn from bonded
warehouses for rehabilitation into al
cohol for commercial purposes.

VETO KILLS CHANCE FOR
BADGER DRY" ELECTION
Governor HaIts Hot Liquor Fight In
Wisconsin Legislature After
All-Night Session.

Madison, Wis, May ga referen-
dunn on prohibition in Wisconsin with
in the next two years was killed when
Governor E. l.. Philip halted one of
the hottest wet and dry fights ever
seen in the Wisconsin legislature by
vetoing the prohibition referendum
bill
He sent his message vetoing the bill
at 1885 a. m, five minutes before the
time limit on the measure.
The assembly adopted a joint reso-
luton recalling the bill from the gov
ernor as the veto message was re-
ceived. This practically ends the wet
and dry fight in this session of the
legislature.
The dry forces had held the legisla-
ture in continuous session all night
and up to the receipt of the veto mes
sage, in an effort to prevent recall Of
the bill from the governor.

SHELL RICOCHETES, TWO
NURSES ON u. S. SHIP DIE
175 Feet from Vessel-Bits Sup
posed to Have Rebounded.

New York, May 81 Two American
nurses, members of an ambulance unit
on it's way for service in France, have
been killed on board an American
steamship when pieces of shell fired
by a naval gun crew in practice rico
cheted from the waters surface and
scattered among group Of nurses and
surgeons. A third nurse was seriously
wounded.
An explanation made by one of the
ships officers was that when a shell
struck the water about IT'S feet from
the vessel the centrifugal force caused
bits Of steel to fly back on shipboard.

ALLIES START new OFFENSIVE
BRITISH AND FRENCH PIERCE
HINDENB0Re LINE.
Haig's Tommies and NiveIIe's PoiIus
Achieve Success in Capture of
German Trenches.

London, May 23.-The entire Hin
denburg line with the exception of
1000 yards, from point one mile
east of Bullecourt, to Arras, has been
captured by. the British, says an Of
fetal communication.
The German losses were severe. Sew
en- enemy airplanes were downed and
eight others were driven out of con-
troll. Many prisoners were taking dur
ing the days fighting.
New Blow Is Struck.
London, May 22.-British and French
forces have struck another joint often
sive blow. Field Marshal Haig's Tom
mics took additional sections of Ger
man Hindenburg line positions, and
General Nivelle's Poilus achieved a
brilliant success in the capture of "sev-
eral lines" of German trenches on the
north slopes of Mont Cornillet.
"At Bullecourt and Fontaines Les
Croisilles, along the Hindenburg line,
our success was continued at night,
and counter-attacks repelled,' the
statement said.
Hindenburg Line Broken.
"a Hindenpurg line support trench
was captured and $50 taken prison
err" Haig continued. "a large num-
Der of dead were found there. Two
German divisions have been engaged
there since yesterday morning"
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is
shunting his shattered and exhausted
divisions on the West front to the
Northern and Eastern battle lines, and
fresh divisions from the Russian front
are being sent to France.

Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You
Benefits From Gardening.

The man who puts in honest and con-
scientious work on his garden must be
q winner, even if not one radish ever
finds it's way to his dinner table. He
is benefited by the vigorous outdoor
work. He is strengthened by the con-
seriousness of having done his best.
And he has gained valuable expert
ence which will enable him to do bet
ter next year.
1t is safe to predict that the gar
dens that fail to produce anything will
be very few. The spirit which in
spires the backyard gardener is the
spirit that works miracles. Of those
who undertake the work with little
hope the majority are likely to be
happily surprised. Even partial sue
cess is an abundant reward, and it will
be an incentive for more intelligent
though not more conscientious work In
the future-Exchange.

BRITISH VIEWPOINT CHANGEs|
NOW APPROVE U. S. METHOD OF
PROCEDURE.
Disappointment at Apparent Lethargy
Gives Way to lndorsement-Use
to Be Made of Allies Mistakes.

London, May 23.-England is glad
to know America is making haste
slowly" Popular understanding is
everywhere manifest that the United
States is doing exactly as Premier
Lloyd George, in his house Of COM
mons speech, suggested-taking ad-
vantage of England's mistakes.
Viewpoint Is Changed.
The British viewpoint today is quite
change from that held during the
first few weeks succeeding Americas
entry. Then there was apparent an
undercurrent of disappointment at de-
lay in the United States, at the fail
ure of America and Americans posi-
bly, to appreciate the magnitude of
the task ahead of them, or to under
stand the necessity for exerting every
ounce Of effort at organization for
war in the most prompt and thorough
manner. Britishers privately recall
ed their own inability to grasp the full
meaning of the struggle in those early
days of 1914.

FIRE VISITS ATLANTA;
DESTROYS MANY BLOCKS
Property Loss Reaches Three Million
When Flames Sweep Through Fine
Residential Section.

Atlanta, Ca, May %. =. Fire that
started late in the afternoon in an OBJ
scure negro section swept a broad
path through the residential section of
Atlanta, devastating scores of blocks
and destroying many of the city's fin
est homes and hundreds of negro
houses. Fire Chief Cody announced
late at night that the fire had been
brought under control.
First estimates of the damage placed
it between $2,OOO,OOO and 100000.
So far as could be learned the only
life lost was that of woman who died
from shock.
The fire was confined to the north
eastern part of the city and the only
business houses were several ware
houses near the point of origin.
