U. S. BONE-DRY ACT VOID7
Representative McLenmore Challenges
Vote in House on National
Amendment.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Charging the
national prohibition amendment was
not constitutionally passed, Represen-
tative McLenmore of Texas introduced
q resolution on Wednesday calling for
an investigation of the vote of the
house by the judiciary committee.
The gist of McLenmore's objection
is the amendment passed by bare
two-thirds vote of those present and a
two-thirds vote ~ both houses is re-
Quired under the Constitution. He
contends a full vote of all members
was necessary.
The house membership is 435. The
vote of 2S2 to 12S fell eight short Of
the total. Two-thirds of all the SEN
ate members voted for the amend
ment.
In impeachment proceedings Nc
Lenmore contends, the Constitution
provides for vote of two-thirds Of all
present.

YANKEES TRAP-FOE IN FRANCE
Riddle Raiders-No Casualties
on American Side.

With the American Army in France,
Feb. PA German patrol, ready to
ambush an American patrol, was dis
covered early in the morning by SEN
try, who gave the alarm by rifle shot.
Then the American machine guns rid
died the enemy.
The Germans fled, carrying their
casualties with them, but the ground
where they had been was later found
to be covered with tell-tale red stains.
The sentry saw two Germans near
the parapet and moved to a listening
post for better view. He then chal-
lenged. A shot in his direction was
the reply. The sentry fired at the
enemy and heard German shout as
the bullet probably hit its mark. Ger
mans then appeared to grow out Of
the ground all around and began 10
throw grenades in the direction of the
American trenches. Machine guns and
rifles went into action from another
section Of the trench, sending a hail
of bullets into the enemy, who retired
on the run.
There were no casualties among the
Americans.

WILSON REFUSES TO SEE
HEAD OF SHIP WORKERS
Enemy-Hutcheson Orders
Men to Work.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The shipyard
strike, which threatened to tie up the
entire shipbuilding program of the
United Suites on the Atlantic coast,
has been ended, at least temporarily,
by the personal appeal Of President
Wilson. President William Hutchinson
and the officials of the Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners telephoned to
all local officials, asking them to have
the men under their jurisdiction back
at work at once, and wired union off,
Gals in Baltimore and other places that
he wanted the wish of the president
of the United States complied with i'm
mediately.
Washington, Feb. 18.-President
Wilson has telegraphed William l..
Hutcheson, general president Of the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Join
ers, that he can see nothing to be
gained by comforting with him person
ally about the strike of shipyard car
penters until he has accepted and
acted upon the principle that in the
present circumstances Of the nation
no body of men has the right to strike
until every method of adjustment has
been tried to the limit.
eff you do not act upon this prin-
ciple," said the presidents message,
"you are undoubtedly giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, whatever may
be your conscious purpose"
The presidents message was sent
in reply to one received from Hutch
eson saying he had been unable to
reach an understanding with officials
of the shipping board, but felt that If
given an opportunity to lay the mat
ter before the president solution
could be arrived at quickly.

U. S. UNIFIED THE ALLIES
DECLARES LLOYD-GEORGE
Premier Says American Plea at Yer.
saiIles Was Made With "lrre-
slstlbie Logic"

London, Feb. 20.-Premier Lloyd
George, addressing the house of COM
mons, demanded an immediate vote as
to whether the house and the country
wishes the government to proceed on
its present war policy.
He declared that If the vote of con-
fidence is not given he would quit Of
fee.
The British premier stated that the
American delegates to the Versailles
supreme war council were responsible
for the plan of Capitalization Of the
allies strategy in the prosecution of
the war.
He announced that General Sir
Henry Seymour Rawlinson has been
appointed as the British military rep
resentative on the supreme war coun-
Gil.
The dramatic feature of the adj
dress Of the British premier was his
statement that the American repre-
sentatives at the Versailles war coun-
Gil had submitted a document that by
it's Irresistible power and logic" forced
a revision of the allied plan for the
prosecution of the war.
The premier said that if he were
privileged to read the document SUBJ
mitted by the American representa-
tives at the conference there would be
no need to make a speech.
81 hesitated for some time," said the
premier, whether should not read in
the house of commons the very cogent
documents submitted by the American
delegation which put the case for the
present proposal. 1t is one Of the
ablest documents ever submitted to a
military conference. The only reason
why do not read it to the house Is
that 1t is mixed up with the plan of
operations"
what happened?" the premier con-
tinued. "We altered the proposal here
and there. There was a good deal of
discussion, which took some hours.
There was not a single dissentient
voice so far as the plan was con-
cerned."

Months Ahead of Time.

Baker Says Shipment of Airplanes
Marks Final Overcoming of Many
Difficulties Met in Building
Up Industry.

washington, Feb. 2l.-Ihe Hrst
American-built battleplanes are en-
route to France, nearly five months
ahead of the original schedule.
In making this announcement on
Wednesday Secretary Baker said the
first shipment, although in itself not
large, marks the final overcoming of
many difficulties met in building up
this new and intricate industry"
"These planes" Mr.. Baker said, "are
equipped with the first Liberty motors
from machine production. One of them
in a recent test surpassed all records
for speed and climbing for planes of
that type.
Production Growing Fast.
Engine production, which began a
month ago, is now on a quantity basis
and the peak of production will be
reached in a few weeks.
"Only the twelve-cylinder type is be-
Ing made, as developments abroad
have made it wise to concentrate on
the high-powered engine instead of the
eight-cylinder"
Optimistic as these statements ap-
pear, the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be con-
sidered in the light Of these facts:
That after three years of warfare
the total number of planes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been more
than $500.
That 46 men are required on the
ground for every plane in the air, MAX
ing total of $4,000 men needed for
the present maximum Of $500 planes.
Must Have AirpIane Reserve.
That(for every plane in the air there
must be two replacement planes on
the ground and one training plane for
every pilot who eventually reaches the
front, with a spare engine for each
plane.
After reviewing the many obstacles
that had to be overcome in getting the
aircraft production program under way
Mr.. Baker said the great problem now
remained to secure the thousands OF
skilled mechanics, engine men, motor
repair men, wood and metal workers,
etc, needed to keep the planes in per-
feet condition and without which the
machines turned out soon would be
useless and the flyers helpless.
"At best" said the secretary, "the
life of plane is but two months and
the engine must be overhauled after
Is hours, while a pilot on a plane al
lowed to leave the hangers in imper-
feet condition is as helpless as bird
with broken wing.
Need Skilled Mechanics.
"Now that American -battleplanes
are going overseas great increase in
the volunteering of skilled mechanics
is both essential and expected"
During the past months, Mr.. Baker
said, responsive channel of communi-
cation with the allies has been opened,
the latest types of foreign machines
have been adapted to American manu-
facture, the industry increased at
least twenty-fold, the training plane
problem solved and the production of
battleplanes begun.
American battleplanes were not due
in France under the original schedule
until July.

envy.
In all places the general asked in
Vulnerable questions. especially of the
men, with regard to food, how they
were and how they liked conditions.
All except one cook agreed that they
were perfectly satisfied with every
thing. The cook told General Pershing
that he wanted some greenstuff.
General Visits Artillery Also.
Throughout the inspection tour Cen
eral Pershing limped little, his ankle
having been injured slightly few days
ago. At the batteries the general ask
ed the artillerymen the same questions
as he put to the infantrymen, making
sure that they all were contented and
had no cause for complaint.
Americans Extend Lines.
AS the time for more active military
operations on the western front ap-
proaches, the American expeditionary
force is widening its sphere of activ-
tty along the front lines. Not only do
American soldiers hold a sector of the
front east of st. Mihiel, but American
artillery is helping the French in
Champagne and infantrymen in COM
pany with French units are holding the
front lines in one of the most famous
battle fronts in the world.
U. S. Guns Bring Down Flyer.
The Germans again dropped bombs
near the place where the American
field hospital was, apparently not
knowing it had been moved. No dam
age was done.
One German airplane was shot
down.
The artillery was more active on
both sides.
Six of our men were wounded when
shell dropped into "cook tent"
