reasons army officers will not discuss
the exact program to be followed by
the American army which has just land :
ed somewhere in France" but the
period of fintensive .trainingo for the
trained regulars will start at once.
Some time ago it was reported in
Washington that the Americans would
probably take their places in the fight
ing front between the British and
French troops.
This would put them somewhere
around st. Quentin, one of the base
cities in the Douai- Cambrai-St. Quentin.
La Fere line-the backbone on the
German hold on France and Belgium.
France and England both struck some
of their most powerful blows in this
section, following up the German
strategic retreat" of March, and the
allied lines now are within sight of st.
Quentin.
Pershing's men have all been trained
in trench fighting through the long
months they were in Mexico and on
the border-and trained in the exact
now in use by the allied sol
diers, as reported by American army OBJ
servers and all available data.
Experts here do not believe they will
need a great deal more of this sort of

Senate Agricultural Commit
tee Passes Up Bone Dry
Amendment
LEAVES BANTLING ON
PRESIDENTS DOORSTEP
Expected Committee VIII Re-
port Redraft Of House
Bill with Changes
BY Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.
Washington, June 81. President
Wilson today found himself the center
of the nation IS prohibition fight. Con
gress, unable to solve the middle en-
dangering the food bill, has shunted the
burden
Some time during the night the SEN
ate agriculture committee wrapped up
the bone dry amendment to the food
control bill and left it on the White
House stoop.
This, IN effect, was what was pinned
on the bundle:
s'Thc manufactures Of distilled spir-
its from foodstufis Is prohibited during
the. war Beers and wines also cannot
be produced from foodstuffs.
Unless the president in the public
interest, deems limited manufacture Of
malt and vinous liquors necessary,
Aside from this the bone dry amend
mept adopted by the senate committee
is the same as that approved by the
house. The president is given the pow
er to commanders FOR re-distillation all
spirits in bond.
Up to President.
The action OF the committee, if ap-
proved by the senate, will place the
president in a position Of affirmativcly
supporting the manufacture Of beers
and wine, if they are to continue, and
Of advocating the wiping out of billions
in federal and local taxes on beers and
liquors if they are to stop.
That he win raise q protest against
the responsibility was expected in con-
gress today. Meantime, some .'on the
hillo were ehuckling in their sleeves
in the belief that "peyhaps the ad
will now feel that it has
about all the power it wants.
No one could say what the president
will do if the senate approves the COM
mittee s action and IL later house and
senate conferees agree that the last
say on the question should be at the
white House.
It is probable the president would
lean on the Judgment OF Herbert Hoov-
or, food administrator, who recently ex-
pressed the following opinion on the
subject of prohibition:
"Entirely aside from ethical ques-
tions, my impression is that we could
save between fifty million and sixty
million bushels of grain on the brewing
side, after allowing for fodder, and that
grain is of the utmost value to the
allies. On the distilling side, we will
probably want the whole capacity OF
iistillers for industrial purposes in con
nection with munitions manufacture.
But with the establishment OF food
control and the use of instillation or
substitutes for grain in distillation, we
.ould save somewhere from twenty-five
million to fifty million bushels OF
rain in the manufacture Of indus'riai
llcohol."

Lens suburbs as the British continued
their inclosing movement.
Here behind the railroad embank.

section south of the city.
West of Lens the difficulties in the

in steady stream declared the German
defenders were sorely pressed and fear

The British now hold all high ground
in the entire Lens salient.
Enemy airmen are striving frantical-

sive-where he will strike with his next
attack. 1t is plain from their efforts
they cannot figure whether it will be
at Ypres, Messines, Lens, Arras or
Bullecourt.
A document taken from a prisoner
confessed that the German planes have
nearly all been stopped by the British
flying corps before they were able to
get over even their own front lines. A
few, however, seem to cross every once
in a while and there are numerous hot
battles in the air as a result.

Willard described the "czar-like 4

when it tried to take his output last
February at cost Of $I.20aa ton.
Coal was already scarce in the
country" Willard said, "and we told
the Pennsylvania people our entire out

stop them. They closed our mine until
we got relief from the Ohio railroad
commission--which put ban on this
kind of autocracy.
Since that time, the Pennsylvania
officials havc been very stingy with
their cars. We asked for $50 cars Just

"The coal operators are not
leeches,'' Willard told the committee.
''We are just as patriotic as anyone
in the country and don't want to be
classed as extortionists.
He corroborated statements of other
coal men that the industry has had Is
lean years ending with 1915.
"My company has an ultra-modern
plant in Ohio. We built it in 1900 and
made no money until the beginning Of

AM BITION,

you would rise above the throng
And seek the crown of fame,
You must do more than drift along
And merely play the game.
Whatever pain your feet may tread
Whatever be your quest,
The only way to get ahead
Is striving for the best.
IT'S not enough to wish to do
A days toll fairly we'll;
If you would rise to glory you
Must hunger to excel.
The boy who has the proper stuff
Goes into every test
Not seeking to be good enough"
But eager to be best"
Aim high And though you fail today
And may tomorrow fail,
Keep pounding steadily away,
Some day you'll hit the nail.
At no halfway mark ever pause
In SNUG content to rest,
Who would win honor and applause
Must want to be the best
The best must be your aim in life,
The best in sport or work,
Success in any form of strife
Falls never to the shirk.
The crowns of leadership are few,
The followers move in throngs,
II you would be leader you
Must shun the drift alongs."
