day unparalleled on the Chicago

themselves what measures, If any,
could be taken to check the upward
trend of wheat prices, and in other
western markets the same query was
being put. There was no answer save
in resolutions Of such bodies as the
Illinois council of defense, which urg-
ed congress to take rigid control of
the entire food situation. Legislating
of May wheat out of existence by the

check the advances. At the closing

adopted by the senate tonight by

'FWithin one year." said Senator
Cummins, in offering his prohibition
amendment, "if we may believe the
people who are best informed, the
people of this country and the Coun-
tries with which it is allied, will be
starving. They may have enough to
sustain life, but they will not have
enough to sustain the strength to
make them a vigorous fighting force.
Either we viii have to do without
booze or we will have to do without

booze"
Senator Gallaher, the republican
leader, said he was in favor Of the
prohibition amendment and quoted
from statistics TO show that seven
billion pounds of food were used an
nuaIly in manufacture of liquor.
Senator Curtis, republican, said he
was in favor of the Cummins amend
ment and that it should be attached to
the espionage bill.
Senator Wadsworth, republican, OBJ
jeSted on the ground that the senate
was attempting to deal with a large
subject without much consideration.
Senator Vardaman said there is no
question before the American people
so important or better understood
than the effect of alcohol on the hu-
man system. He said the question of
revenue raised by internal revenue
taxes should not prevent adoption of
the amendment and that it should be
better raised in some other way.
Senator Mcclellan took the same po-
sition and said he did not believe
"debauching the American people to
raise revenue for the government
Asked by Senator Stone if he would
be willing to tax cotton 81 a bale
to make up the deficit if the liquor
revenue were cut off, the Tennessee
senator said he would vote for any
form of property tax that would re-
suit in prohibition.

BRITISH ARE WORRYING
GERMANS VERY MUCH

Copenhagen, May 12.-Via London.
-Brcish arn1Ored motor cars and gas
grenades evidently are giving consid-
able trouble and cause for worry to
the Germans on the western battle
front, Notwithstanding the sighting
references to them in the official re-
ports. Lieut.. Gen. Won Ardenne, the
new military expert of the Berlin
Tageblatt, who has just returned from
the western front, attributes the sue
cess of the British in their opening
drive at Arras on April 9 largely to
gas shells, which laid such a curtain
of gas before the German artillery
that the gunners were hampered sore
" in their work. He claims that the
French suffered equally from the
Germon artiIlery's gas defense along
the Aisne a week later. The gases en-
ployed in the shells have been i'm
proved steadily in efficiency and Ger
man gas masks, although preventing
fatal results, do not give complete
protection.
Baron Won Ardenne says the Brit
ish tank is probably the most amazing
weapon which modern land warfare
has produced. He admits they have
caused the Germans heavy losses, par
ticularly by their thanking fire, though
they are by no means invulnerable to
the German artillery.
The Baron asserts that the line of
villages along which the Anglo-Ge
man struggle is now raging lies in
advance OF the main Hindenburg line,
and that consequently eventual loss
of these villages, including Bullecourt,
could not be deemed a decisive event.
This admission indicates that the
Germans are reckoning on the loss OF
Avion, Oppy, ROeUx and other towns
! in the further heavy fighting which
! is coming along the sector of the
i front.
| As to the French battle front, Bar
! on Won Ardenne says that the strug-
rles along the Chemin des Danes in
other wars would be called battles, on
] account of the number of men en-
! gagged, but now they are merely Skin
! nishes preliminary to gigantic en-
gagement which is surely coming.
Onslaught on Germans.
! Field Marshal Haig Saturday threw
