November by handsome margin.
The only difficulty in securing the
names on these petitions was in see
ing the voters. Men signed the dry
petition this year more readily than
ever before, but everybody is so
busy that in many sections it was
found difficult to get either men or
women to carry petitions, and con-
sequently a thorough canvass was
impossible.
Cuyahoga County sent the largest
number of signatures, 1901; Ottawa,

little HOPE OF WlNNINV
Ohio Vets Quietly Admit the It'd
Running Strongly Against The

Columbus, Ohlo-Wet leaders ol
the state quietly admit their chances
for success this year are so small as
to be scarcely discernable, They do
not deny that the trend is all against
them, The narrow margin by which
they won last year is not reassuring.
Since then, many things have hap
pened which have not improved their
situation,
Since Ohio voted last fall, several
sister states have become dry, Con-
gress has submitted National Prohibi'
tion TO the states, and already 13 OF
them have ratified. The unsavory re-
lation between the brewers and the
German-American Alliance has an
gered the voters and alienated many
former wet supporters. The memory
of last winter when the brewers had
coal, while churches and schools were
closed, and homes were uncomfort'
able, is still fresh in the minds of the
voters. Add to all this the growing
feeling that the liquor traffic is ham
pering the government and that it is
better friend of the Kaiser than OF
Uncle Sam, and il is easily seen that
the vets have not hopeful outlook
The one ray of hope the vets have
is that the dry voters will not go to
the polls But this is forlorn hope
and the drys propose to blast it.
John Barleyeorn's grip on Ohio is
surely weakening.

The largest initiated dry petition
ever circulated in the United States
was dled with the Secretary of State
of Onio August 1, 1918, by the Ohio
Dry federation. 1t was the petition
initiating the statewide Prohibition
amendment to be voted on at the elec-
tion November 9Th
There are 175,5OO signatures ap.
pended to the petition, picture of
which appears above. The tall man
in the picture is Mr.. ]. A. White, dry
State Campaign Manager, and the
other is Mr.. Johnson, of the Secre-
tary of States office. Additional
names are coming in, and it is ex-
pected the total will approximate
100000.
For the first time in the history
Of the state, this dry petition carries
signatures from each of the S8 coun-
les. The petition this year has more
han 5000 signatures in excess of the
Try petition filed year ago. In view
of the large number of voters in can
onments and overseas who signed
he petition a year ago, the result
his year is considered significant. If

DRY OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Many Former Ohio Vets Are Now
Openly Espousing the Dry Cause. 70

Columbus, Ohio,-The dry forces
of Ohio are confidently expecting a
sweeping victory for statewide Pro
hlbition in November, Every county
is organized and there is more spirit
and determination than has been
shown in any former wet and dry
contest.
Reports from practically all coun-
ties agree that more formerly wet
voters are espousing the dry cause
than ever before. Many of these for.
mer vets signed dry petitions and a
number of them are contributors to
the dry campaign fund.
The war is showing more clearly
than ever before the waste caused by
the liquor traffic in both men and
food, and voters are declaring it is
now a matter of patriotism to vote
dry, and that they will do so in order
to conserve essentials necessary to
the winning of the war
The drys will bend all their energy
to getting out their full vote on No
vember 5, and are urging their work
ers to guard against over.confidence.
Conservative drys believe the state
will go dry this year by $4,000 ma.
jority, and many vets agree with
them.

HAMILTON COUNTY DRYS
Expect to Make Even Greater Gains
Than They Made In Last
Years Campaign.

Cincinnati Ohio.-Last year Ham
ilton County made greater dry gain
than any other county in the state.
The drys down here exepect to lead
again this year in dry gains. OF
course they do not expect to carry
the county, but they do intend to
reduce the wet majority to the extent
that the balance of the state will
have little difficulty in overcoming it.
Never before has there been as
effective a dry organization in this
city as the one now being built. Never
before did so many dry men offer
to come out in the open and give bat
tie to the liquor interests. The drys
are working to one end, and that
is to get their vote into the ballot
box and then see that II is hon
estly counted. They do not intend
to have so many mistakes" to be
corrected on the night of election.
If other counties do as well as
there need be no worry
about the drys winning in the state.

G. A. A. LYING LOW.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-There is consid-
cradle comment here over the silence
of former leaders of the German.
American Alliance in the wet cam
paign this year, The Alliance al
ways took an active part in behalf of
the breweries and saloons, arranged
wet parades and boosted beer at all
times. These Alliance leaders are
no less interested in the success of
pro-German beer, but the brewers are
keeping them in the background for
reasons easily guessed

SPOILING HUNS SLEEP
DesuItory Bombing DistraCtS
AntiairCratt GunnerS..
Drop Two and Fit Away; When Fritz
Settles Down, Wake Him
Up Again.

Behind the British Lines in France
One of the most exciting tasks IL
which airmen are assigned is "desul
J tory bombing over one spot for al
hour or more. The object is to dis
tract the attention Of the antiaircraft
defenders of a given district.
A machine carrying a dozen or more
bombs is employed for the work. The
airman, a pilot and an observer ap-
prOach their target cautiously With
engines throttled down, the craft glides
nearer and nearer
Below all is quiet. No German
searchlights are sweeping the sky.
When the attackers are almost over
their object a rocket rises and bursts
into cluster of red stars.
The machine has been discovered.
At once six or seven searChlights throw
their beams aloft The pilot looks at
his watch; it is time to begin bombing
He flies steadily on, although q bar
rage of bursting shells lies now in
front of him. The observer looks
through the wires Of his bomb sight
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs. A few seconds
later he sees the flash Of their expIo-
sions, and hears two dull roars He
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring of
shells and searchlights.
A few miles away the airplane flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
searchlights vainly feel the sky in all
directions and then, one by one, are
switched off.
Then the pilot quickly returns to-
ward the target. Another bomb is
dropped. AS it eXplodes the search
lights reappear aud the barrage is re-
newed, while through the shell bursts
are threaded the chains Of green fam
ing globes so much used by the Ger
mans.
Again the machine flies away and
this time to bewilder the soldiers >.
low, the observer fires white Verey
light, which slowly drifts down and
fades out. All the searchlights follow
it until it dies.
Repeatedly the airmen return to the
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter,
walls until the end Of the hour when
the machine departs, Pickering fires
and clouds of smoke telling Of the
havoc wrought by the bombs.

ACTS AMAZE ITALIANS
Yankee Flyers Credited With
Great HeroiSm.
Exploits Quickly Win Honors Given by
King Victor Emmanuel
Himself.

italian Army Headquarters.-The
Italian cOmmandant under whose di-
rectiOn the American flyers are work
| ing on the Italian front has only one
fault to find with them. They never
want to remain on the ground.
The exploits which brought five Of
the American airmen decorations can
not yet be published, but the value Of
their services may be judged from the
fact that King Victor Emmanuel trav-
eled to the section held by the Amer
leans to make the presentation.
A few days ago Lieut.. Alexander G.
Craig of New York, while flying over
Austrian territory, was attacked by a
chaser plane. BY skillfully handling
his own machine, after a few minutes
of, jockeying he put his adversary at
a disadvantage and unanswered his
own gunner into such a position that
a burst of machine gunfire shot the
attacker dead and sent his plane to the
ground in flames.
Lieut.. Harry L. Holtz of Burley,
Idaho, showed he could combine great
coolness in danger with thorough un-
derstanding of Italian habits and GUS
toms. On his way back over the Aus
trian lines after deep raid into en-
emy territory his plane was struck by
a burst of shrapnel from anti-aircraft
guns. One fragment lodged in the
body of HOltz's machine, another tore
a hole in the right wing, while a third
splintered one of the left-wing spars,
at the same time cutting one of the
ailerOn control cables to such an ex-
tent that a single strand Of steel wire
was left.
Lieutenant Holtz calmly pointed out
the break to the Italian mechanic ac-
him. The mechanic, with
out a moments hesitation, climbed out
and fought his way to the wing against
q tremendous wind pressure. Then,
lying fiat on his face and bracing his
feet against the strut, he grasped the
damaged cable with one hand on each
side of the break.
Just when he was getting a grip
On the last strand Of the cable it parted |
and the value of his daring action was
With the cable gone, the
big airplane virtually was useless, bat
ne coolly clung there, substituting his
strength for it and enabling Lieuten-

fantry, blocking gaps in the line, and
the final definite occupation of the
town for the allies was accomplished
by a cavalry battalion. A sergeant
and a handful of Dragons drove 40
Germans out of the town, and at an
other point a cavalry officer and 20
men backed up the infantry at a
critical moment, the officer waving a
pistol in one hand and a shovel in
the other as he led the dash which re-
stored the situation.

A few days later the same cavalry
