ment.
MY observation is that the state
rights objection disappears whenever
the state declares for prohibition" re.
piled Mr.. Bryan. IF a state wants
prohibition it doesn't object to having
the federal government help to en-.
force it. Those who oppose national
prohibition on that ground as a rule
oppose state prohibition on some other
grounds. This Is not universal rule
but it Is almost universal. Georgia
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Vir
ginia and Florida are all good state
rights states but their representatives
In congress voted solIdly in favor OF
the amendment. South Carolina and
North Carolina were nearly solid and
the amendment had its supporters In

WHAT PROHIBITION WILL AND

as 1t will be when applied nationally,

the profits from his labors, and insure
to the honest investor the safety or

Do not think that prohibition alone

pies to rot in orchard fields; that

BALTIMORE men SCRAppY UNIT
Annihilate Two German Battalions
in Operations East Of Rheims
Cited Second Time by French.
lBY Frank ]. Taylor.l

With the American Army in France,
Sept 16. (By Mail 1.-The Baltimore
trench mortar company, part of GER
tain division, is fighting outfit. The
company has taken its toll of Ger
mans over and over again.
Probably the biggest job was when
the division was east Of Rheims. The
Baltimore boys took their trench NOR
tars out with lots of ammunition, and
heaved tons of shells over on the
Germans. They worked six hours
in intense German gas, wearing
masks of course, to keep in the fight.
1t is estimated that almost two Ger
man battalions were annihilated by
the trench mortar fire. The French
cited the company from Baltimore for
the croiX de guerre for the second
time. One more time and the boys
will be entitled to wear the foura-
gere.
Before the war these Baltimore
boys belonged to a coast artillery out.
fit. They volunteered to do trench
mortar work when the call was sent
out, and have rapidly developed into
about the fastest outfit along the line
when it comes to getting shells over
on the Germans.
Baltimore people have kept in close
touch with the boys of the trench
mortar company, No. III. and the
boys feel they are representatives of
baltimore in the trenches The
mortar guns are always nearest the
Germans, since they are close range
weapons.

GUNNER SHOT DOWN
IN POLICE BATTLE
One Killed i'll New Castle and Another
in Youngstown-Two Officers
Wounded.

youngstown, O., May 3.-Patrol-
man James Cucia of New Castle, Pa
and Captain A. l.. Jenkins Of the
Youngstown police were wounded the
former probably fatally, when two of
their assailants, members of a bandit
gang were killed during gun battles
in both cities. Two of the gunner
still are at liberty.
Cucia was shot three times in the
abdomen in the initial clash after he
had detected the men attempting rob-
berry of a foreign boarding house in
New Castle. Before the gunner es-
capped Cucia wounded one, who died
shortly afterward.
Following the encounter in New
Castle the three survivors of the
bandits caught a train for Youngs-
town and arriving here, hired a taxi
cab. The chauffeur, becoming sus-
picious of the mems actions, notified
the police and Captain Jenkins and
Patrolman John Wilhelm set out in
pursuit.
Cornered in an alley the gunner
opened fire and Captain jenkins was
shot through the cheek A battle asst
ing twenty minutes followed, during
which Wilhelm killed one of the gang
with a shot through the heart. The
remaining two then fled.
