WAR ON B00TLEGGERS
New Law Will Send Scores of Thirsty
Ones to Blind Tigers In Search of
Consolation.

Extraordinary preparations are
l;being made by the prohibition Of
ficers of the State for an intensified
compaign against bootleggers and
blind tigers to be launched July !
when the government "rone dry
law goes into effect, it is announced
by Prohibition Commissioner j. Sid
ney Peters. 1.-THE business Of these
men will be considerably increased
when the new federal statute be-
comes effective" said Dr. Peters.
"For this reason" he said, "tile pro-
hibition machinery of the state will
be perhaps buster than ever before.
There will be few. if not indeed
many, who have hitherto secured their
liquor direct, who will resort to the
bootlegger and blind tiger for their
accustomed portions. All who are
caught engaging in such business
will be prosecuted under the state
statute and not under that Of the
government"
Dir. Peters explained that many
are nourishing the hope that If they
arc caught bringing liquor into the
state they will be tired uncer the
federal law, which, in several m
stances, does not provide jail sen-
tcncc, but merely fine. "The state
law includes a Jail penalty In every
instance" said DR.. Peters, "and no
one need think that there will be any
escape because the government mas
in certain cases failed to make a jail
penalty"
1t was the opinion expressed by
DR.. Peters that there will be no con-
hict between the federal and the
state statutes. 1t was pointed out
that the state law allows the trans
portation of the quart into the state,
a privilege which is denied by the
federal law, and that there might
be confusion in the courts in deter.
mining the right of the federal gov
eminent to contravenc the state law.
He said, however. that. while the
,egal experts of the state had not
rendered definite or detailed opln-
ion he doubted if the privilege grant
ed by the state would transcend tha
prohibition of the government.
It was also indicated by DR.. Peters
that. outside of those cases whore
only quart has been brought into
the state, nearly every case might
be tried either in the state or fedora
court. which would permit the gov
eminent to take care Of all but a
small percentage Of the cases of IL
nuor law violation. He said that q
plan was now being worked out ny
which :hc cases may be divided he
tween the federal and the state gov
eminent. but most of the cases where
more than quart has been brought
into the state will be tried under
state laws, owing to the fact that
the government law is more lcnlcnt.

Everything France Has
Learned at Disposal of
United States
fRv AsaocIatad Presa.l

Paris, June 6.--A semi official note
says Marshal Joffre while in America
had a conference with American mil
itary chiefs at which plan or organ
ization of the new American army
was elaborated in agreement with
British leaders.
The note says:
1T will surprise none that the mar
shall took preponderating part in
the plan, literally everything which he
advised being adopted. His collab-
orators styled his the godfather Of
the American army
"At a moment when the first ele-
ment of this army Is getting ready
to take g. place on our front the
French government considered it only
fitting to confirm the marshal in his
sponsorship.
''The minister of war feels that the
moral authority attaching to his high
position will enable him. in accord
with the American high command to
give to the new troops all the neces-
sary advice and direction so as to
prepare them morally and material
ly for the effort they are called upon
to make.
"The program for this collaboration
has already been drawn up. Marshal
Joffre is officially entrusted with the
mission of putting constantly at the
disposal of our great sister republic
what France has learned in three
years of hard campaigning"

TRIBUTE TO

Senator Tells Confreres that
Veterans Loyalty is
Absolute
(By Assoelated PROSE-

Washington, June 6.-When the SEN
ate, after a short session yesterday,
adjourned until Friday in observation
of registration day and to permit mem-
bers to visit confederate veterans, Sem
ator Bankhead, only surviving con-
federate soldier in the senate, wearing
q gray uniform, paid this tribute to the
veterans:
To-day the shattered remnants. of
the armies Of Lee and Jackson, John
son and Bragg, and OF the navies of
the confederacy are in Washington
and on Thursday, will march with their
sons down Pennsylvania avenue in re-
view before the president of the Unit
ed States.
"a little more than half century
ago, these same men in arms swere
hammering at the gates of Washington
in an effort to sever their relations
with the national government. Thurs
day, marching with broken body and
faltering step, on a mission OF peace
and love, not Of hatred and bloodshed,
but in a spirit of resolute reconcilia-
ton and absolute loyalty to our flag,
they will voice in vibrant tones to all
the world an indissoluble union OF the
United States.
Il am grateful that God has spared
me to see this day when my old COM
rades in arms of the confederacy are
here in the capital OF that nation which
for four years they struggled desper-
ateIy to destroy, but which now one
and all, they are more anxious to pre-
serve"

Military Correspondent Of
London Times Comments
On Situation
EXPECTED SUPPORT
NOT FORTHCOMING
Russian Armies In Excellent
Shape When Revolu-
ton Occurred
tBy Associated Press.)

London, June 6.-The military COR
respondent OF The Times discussing
the Russian situation says in effect
that the Russian revolution has wreck
ed the plans for the entente allied cam
paign for 1917.
The writer says that the situation
Of the Russian armies before the out
break Of the revolution was extremely
favorable. The losses of 1916 were be-
ing made good, the depots filled, a
great merger of new divisions created
and guns and munitions were steadily
increasing in quantity.
The correspondent says:
THE allied campaign in the west
must be judged in relation to the
anticipated timely cooperation of the
Russian armies which were, early in
March, two or three times superior
numerically to the Austro- Germans
facing them. Thanks to the devotion
OF the western allies a brilliant cam
paign by the gallant Russian armies
seemed assured and their interyeutfon
was timed for q certain date but when
the date came no Russian Intervention
occurred"
The writer pays a hearty tribute to
the efforts and sacrifices Of the Rus
SLAMS since the beginning Of the war.
