MAY VOTE ON DRY
PLAN AUGUST 20
Senate Negotiations Seek to
Fix That Day for Action
on Bill.
RECESS HANGS ON ACTION

Negotiations were under way today
in the Senate to bring about an agree
ment whereby a day would be fixed
to begin voting on the $11, 100000
emergency agriculture appropriation
bill and its wartime prohibition
amendment after Congress has taken
a midsummer recess, the day to be
August 20.
If such an agreement can be made.
the prohibition senators said today
they would not interpose any objec-
tion to a recess of Congress after the
wire control resolution has been
passed.
If such an agreement cannot be
reached, however. they said they were
determined to prevent a recess and
to keep the Senate and Congress here
until wartime prohibition has been
disposed of. They are confident that
wartime prohibition is going to be
enacted into law.
Sheppard to Ask Date Fixing.
1t was expected that either today or
tomorrow, provided the negotiations
are successful. Senator Sheppard of
Texas. the prohibition leader, would
ask unanimous consent to start vot-
ing on fixed day on the emergency
agriculture appropriation bill.
Such an agreement. however, the
'drys'' realized would be of little
value to them, for other war legisla-
ton might be ready for action after
the recess, probably the bill to in
crease the Army, with the war reve-
~ oAs~ Nnf
long afterward- Unless they could get
a unanimous consent agreement to
fix a day for beginning the vote, or
t least fix day on which the war
time prohibition bill should be taken
up under limited debate with the un-
derstanding it would be kept before
the Senate until voted upon, they in
sisted they would not yield.
Recess Plans Not Agreed On.
Just what form the proposed recess
will take, whether 1t will be an out
and-out adjournment of Congress un-
til August IL. or whether it will
merely be a gentlemen's agreement
with three-day recesses of both
houses. with the understanding that
no business shall be transacted until
August IL or later. has not been
settled.

Opponents of prohibition in the Sem

port that there would be an agree
ment for fixed day to vote on pro-
hibition. They frankly said they did
not believe such an agreement could
be reached. They expressed entire
Willingness that a recess should be

Using Men Of Mature Years.

Aren't there 10000 or even 100000
women who can be found out of the
e0,000.000 who want to do their part
in this war and who will not bring
to France that distracting interest
which may interfere seriously with
the spirit and strength of our fighting
forces? I believe there are more than
that number available. And much OF
the work for which it is argued that
women are needed can be done just
as well by men above military age.
Both Great Britain and France are
using men of mature years in their
Y. M. C. A. and other relief work and
1 am sure there are many in America
who would like TO avail themselves
Of the opportunity.
IT do not wish to seem to be dis
couraging any one who can be Of
real service in France, but Il has
been my observation that most of
the requests and petitions to have US
modify our policy come indirectly
from women who have husbands or
brothers in the Army abroad and
their fundamental desire is to get
near those men. This shows plainly
what their effort would be on the
other side were they permitted pass
ports to go to France. It is a ruling
we regret having to make, but one
that is absolutely necessary to win
the war. and one that is not going
to be changed"

that II these organisations would
apply themselves with the same zeal
to getting workers as they have to

the American people more than
enough women who are eligible for

Use Of Peasant Women.

Gen. March has usually succeeded in
persuading his numerous callers as to
the validity Of his argument. 1t is
true. for instance. that many women
Of wealth who have not been accustomed
to do menial work find that no matter
how willing they are they cannot do
some OF the tasks which must be per-
formed. and one OF these women in
France told Gen. March that she be-
lieved the French peasant women could
do many Of the Jobs equally well-and
for slight compensation.
The Red Cross and Y. NJ. C. A. au-
thorities, however. have been insist
ent that they could not long continue
their work unless they were per-
mitted to bring women from America
who understood the many specialized
activities Of those organisations They

The author had the opportunity of witnessing part of the titanic task of Britain's courageous seafighters. and of personally gaining an idea of the romantic and hazardous business of patrolling the seas in search of the most savage beasts who ever infested them.
 These sketches give a vivid idea of what it is to search the seas in a sub - marine, and of the adventures of the youngest branch of the navy-the naval air service. The book should help con siderably to enlighten the general pub lice on the work of the various branches of the navy. Of special in terest is the talk with the captain of a mine sweeper while he is on the bridge of his vessel.
