MICHIGAN BONE-DRY MAY III
Bills Passed BY Last Legislature Make
Use Of Liquor illegal.

Lansing-Liquor legislation to make
Michigan bone dry after May l, 1918,
is embodied in the three bills passed
by the last legislature.
The Wiley bill provides the regula-
tions under which liquors can be sold
for the five purposes mentioned in the
constitutional amendment: medicinal,
mechanical, chemical, scientific and
sacramental; and provides the penal
ties for violations.
The Damon bill makes IL unlawful
for any person to bring into Michi-
gan or have intoxicants in their pos
session, except for the five purposes
mentioned in the constitutional amend
ment. II also re-enacts the search
and seizure law passed several years
ago TO meet conditions in counties
that are dry under local option.
The Lewis bill makes 1t the duty OF
the dairy and food commission. whose
title is changed 10 drug and food com
missioner, to supervise and secure
the enforcement of all laws relating
to intoxicating beverages Vesting
these powers in the commissioner will
not relieve prosecuting attorneys
sheriffs and police officers from the
responsibilities that are now theirs to
arrest and prosecute violators of pro-
hibition.
The new powers OF the commission.
er mean that 1t will be up TO him to
see that county and municipal au
thorities enforce the laws.
The three bills mean an absolutely
dry Michigan after May l, 1918.
There is nothing in any of the three
bills which would give a person a le'
gal right to have in their possession
intoxicants for beverage purposes.

SITUATION is GRAVE ONE
Unless There is Unanimous Cooper.
alton the Food Shortage Is Sure
to Be Felt Next Winter.

Lansing-William j. Orr, of Sagi-
nav, of the state food preparedness
board, is receiving gratifying returns
from all parts of the state relative
to cooperation in planting every inch
of available space in Michigan this
spring.
Few persons in Michigan appreci-
ate the gravity of the situation and
unless there is unanimous co-opera-
ton It will take the pinch next win
ter thoroughly TO convince some folks
that there is a scarcity of food pro-
ducts" said Mr.. Orr. Armour & Co.,
of Chicago, have advised the state
board that pepole should not eat meat
more than twice a week il they wish
to conserve the supply"
Mr.. Orr plans to use all vacant
property in Saginaw and hire school
children to do the work paying them
a small wage. When the crops are
harvested he would have them ship
ped to a central distributing point
and disposed of at the actual cost of
production.
ION recommendation of the county
agent, Governor Sleeper will give
medals to worthy boys and girls" said
Mr.. Orr.

CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
Celestials Planned to Trip Up Foes,
Throw Water in Their Faces and
Then Cut off Their Heads.

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa-
nese war, says u contributor to the
Washington Star, one of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field at review and go through
very curious performance.
The soldier carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods, and with these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and making very queer gestures
and grimaces.
whats the game?" asked the Amer
lean.
"That regiment" a Chinese general
answered, "is one of our very oldest.
1t is now practicing a form of assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
idea is to trip the enemy up with the
long wand, throw water in his face
and, in the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment, to
cut off his head."-Youth's COmpan-

U-BOATS SINK TWO
HOSPITAL SHIPS
BRITISH BOATS WITH ENGLISH
AND GERMAN WOUNDED
ABOARD, ToRPEDoED.
NO WARNING WAS GIVEN
British Admiralty Announces That
Only One of the Ships Sunk Car
ried Distinctive Markings.

London.-The British hospital ships
DONEGAL and Lanfranc, with many
wounded aboard, have been torpedoed
without warning. OF those aboard the
DONEGAL, 29 wounded and IL of the
crew are missing. The Lanfranc car
ried German wounded as well as Brit
ish. OF those aboard, 10 British and
Is Germans are believed to have
persisted.
The Lanfrance was a vessel of
6,2S7 tons gross. She was AIS feet in
length and was built in 1907.
The DONEGAL registered 1877 tons
gross. She was built at Greenock in
1904 and was 331 feet long. The Brit
ish Admiralty made the following an
nouncement:
owing to the German practice of
sinking hospital ships at sight and to
the fact distinctive marking and light
ing of such vessels render them more
conspicuous targets for German sub
marines, il has become no longer
possible to distinguish our hospital
ships in the customary manner. One
of these two ships, therefore, though
carrying wounded, was not in any way
outwardly distinguished as hospital
ship.
The distinctive markings of the
other had not yet been removed. Both
were provided with an escort for pro-
lection"

AN ANCIENT JAPANESE ART
Embroidery Made in Flowery Kingdom
for Centuries Before Country
Was Opened to World.

japanese embroidery, now so pOpu-
lar In this country, is one of the oldest
arts of the mikados people. For cen
turtles before the country was opened
to foreign intercourse heavily embroid-
cred silk kimOnos, screens, and other
articles were made by professional
embroidery experts, principally in
KyOto. This same profession con-
tinues today, having been handed
down from father to son for many gen.
erations. For this reason the center
of the countrys art-embroidery indus
try Is at KyOto, although cheaper en-
brolderies, principally for export, are
produced in large quantities in other
part of the Kobe district.
The majority Of the workers in Kyo-
to are men, who produce the finer
grades of embroidery. 1t is essentially
a household industry, and is usually
conducted in small shops, where from
three to ten apprentices and skilled
embroidery are employed. The men
received from 40 to 20 cents gold per
day. The women, however, are able
to earn from 10 to so cents gold per
day, depending upon their ability and
diligence.
The manufacture of handmade lace
Is a comparatively new industry In
Japan, as lace was not used by the
Japanese before the advent of foreign
ers. The industry is still in its in
fancy, and the output is small.

AMERICA MUST FEED ALLIES
ealfour, Head of British War Mis-
sion Explains Need of Food Supplies.

Washington-What the allies want
from the United States more than any
thing else is food. At conferences be-
tween the Balfour party and President
Wilson's cabinet this vital fact was
brought out.
The greatest need of the allies was
expressed by A. ]. Balfour the British
spokesman as follows:
1.-THE allies greatest problems-and
the one which you can best aid our
allied cause by helping solve-is that
of food-which involves that of ship
ping.
please remember that there is no
British food problem. no French food
problem, nor Italian, nor Russian food
problem. 1t is all one great question.
AT a recent allied conference the
allied governments agreed to pool
their food supplies.
while England is not short of
food, and probably could get along If
she had only herself to consider, all
is not we'll with France and Italy.
Their food shortage is acute. 1t is
growing more so"
The allies man power is sufficient
for the moment; and the sending of
great masses of American men TO
Europe would make the food problem
critical and out of all proportion to
the fighting strength gained, it is ex'
planned.

CRISIS IN GERMAN EMPIRE
Yelled Reports Indicate Great Up
heaVaIs in Kaiser's Domain.

Washington-lnterest in the great
French offensive on the Aisne gives
way to the startling news from the in
terror of Germany. Yelled though
the situation is in the midst of rigid
censorship and obscured by the shack
led condition of the German press,
sufficient has leaked through to indi-
cate that the German empire is facing
a great economic and political crisis.
The latest information received Is
that 10000 striking munition workers
have engaged in a bloody riot in the
great Prussian fortress town of Mag
deburg and were only prevented from
burning the city hall after a sharp
clash with the military. This story
comes from the Dutch frontier with
sufficient detail to make its claims to
authenticity impressive.
The exact status of the strike move
ment in Germany is unknown, but it
is certain that a very considerable
portion of the munitioh workers have
been affected. There are reports of a
new strike at Essen and Magdeburg is
the site of an important branch of
the great Krupp establishment.
An indication of the seriousness OF
the situation is afforded by the fact
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
has considered it necessary to make
a personal appeal to the workers in
which he denounces strikes as mex
cusable crimes against the fighting
force

RUSSIA WILL FIGHT TO END
Minister of Foreign Affairs Says Sep
arate Peace Talk is Absurd.

Petrograd-"Russia will fight on UNI
ill the war is won" This sentence
epitomizes a statement made in an in
terview with a correspondent of the
Associated Press by M. Milukoff, min
lister of foreign affairs.
Following it comes the same assur-
ance from the army of the western
Russian front, which assembled at
Minsk. The 1900 delegates are seem
ingly a unit in their determination.
I'VE swear to drive the Germans
out" was the shout that went up from
the meeting. in reply to the suggestion
of a speaker that the Kaiser's armies
are threatening Petrograd.
Peace rumors NJ. Milukoff charac-
terized as absurd. He emphatically
stated such a project had never been
entertained by the provisional govern
ment.

GREEK KING THREATENS WAR
Constantine Issues UItimatum to Brit
ish Representative.

Notwithstanding Constantine, Of
Greece, has served a war ultimatum
upon the Allies, through the British
minister at Athens, it was learned on
the highest diplomatic authority here,
At long conference with the rep
resentative of the British government,
the Greek King offered to form a cabi-
net agreeable to the Entente nations,
provided guarantees were given him
as follows:
/. That the French army shall not
invade Greece.
2. That he, King Constantine, would
not be dethroned by Great Britain and
France.
The alternative was war with
Greece, he informed the British dip
lomat.
The position taken by King Con-
stantine, brings to a crisis not only
his personal fate, but that of his ma
ton. In diplomatic circles it, was said
Constantine had projected the two
subjects that had been concerning the
French and British governments for
months more than any other questions
connected with the so-called Salonica
expedition.
1t is understood the French stra-
tegists maintain a further invasion Of
Greece is essential and both England
and France are reluctant to lift the
blockade. These nations are under
stood to favor the dethronement of
King Constantine, and a decision will
be precipitated by his announcement.

BRIGHT Idea.

A brilliant girl spent half an hour
trying to capture big miller that was
flying about the room.
FINALLY the child, with a shout OF
triumph, cornered the moth, and soon
had 1t imprisoned in a chubby hand.
When the miller finally lay still and
quiet the child opened her hand.
"What is 1t, dear?" her mother asked.
Then she gave an ejaculation of amaze
ment:
"This miller has put about 200 eggs
right in my hand" the youngster re-
piled.
The father who had been reading
his paper looked up and said:
"Run out, Mabel, and see If you can
catch q hen"

DISASTROUS week

FRENCH AND BRITISH TROOPS
CONTINUE TO FORCE BACK
THE KAIsER'S MEN.

Town After Town and Hamlet After
Hamlet is Being Taken in Great
Allied Drive.

London-G Germany has gone through
her most disastrous week in the war.
Since a week ago, when the great
French offensive began, the Allies
forces have accomplished this;
Capture Of more than 100 guns from
the Germans.
Taking of 10000 German prisoners.
Occupation of 20 large villages-not
including hamlets.
Re-taking of about so square miles
Of French territory.
Inflicted losses in killed, wounded
and missing on the Germans con-
servatively estimated at 100000.
In sweeping attacks the British
forces continue to force the Germans
back. Town after town and hamlet
after hamlet is being taken by the
men of Gen. Haig.
The village of Gavrelle, the last OF
the defenses Of the Hindenburg line
north of the Scarpe was taken Mon
day. This victory is of the greatest
importance.
Gavrelle is a part of the last def
mite defense the Germans have before
falling back on what is known as the
Drocourt-Queant switch to the Hin
denburg line.
Guemappe south of the Scarpe, also
fell before the onslaught of the forces
OF Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig.
BY this stroke, the British straight
ened out their line and removed a
menacing German salient.
