INDIANA NOW IS BONE DRY

Indianapolis, Ind, April 3-Indiana
became dry" from border to border
last night at midnight. The State
wide prohibition law, so written that
intoxicating liquor may not be man.
ufactured, sold, given away or ship
ped into the State except for medical
and sacramental purposes, took effect
at that hour.
Members Of the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League estimated that 3,40O saloons
in the State closed their doors. They
estimated that thirty breweries in the
State were affected, and possibly
twelve or fifteen distilleries. The
amount of money, the league members
say, that has been spent annually for
intoxicating liquor in the State is
S25,OOO,OOO. which they say, under the
prohibition law, win be Saved" No
guess was hazarded as to how it may
be spent during the ensuing year.
The closing of all places where liq-
uor might be purchased followed
strenuous effort of the "wets" to have
the law declared unconstitutional.
The Indiana Supreme Court heard
oral arguments in two cases involving
the law, but no decision was rem
dered.

DRAFT BOARD
Clears Decks For Next Draitee Call
Members Now Have Their First
Breathing Spell

The Mason County draft board, hav-
ing accomplished the huge task of
sending to Camp Zachary Taylor all
the men called to service as selec-
tives under the first draft order, are
this week experiencing the first
breathing spell since they begun their
duties.
Members of the local board, how
ever, are not entirely through with
their work. Reopened examinations
and scattered cases of men who were
delayed in being examined under the
classification system which will gov
ern tire selection of draftees when the
first increment of the second call is
chosen, are continuing. These will
probably not be entirely cleared up
until the order from the Adjutant
Generals Office duties, calling the
first men Of the second call into SER
vice.
No official intimation has yet been
received by the boards which throws
light on when the next quota will be
summoned to appear for mobilization.
1t is believed, however, that several
weeks at least will elapse before this
new draft operation is set in progress.
Nothing new has been learned from
the War Department concerning the
credit which the local draft boards
will receive for menswho have entered
service by other than the regular
route of calls to the national army
cantonment at Camp Zachary Taylor.
1t is practically certain that
there will be decrease in the num-
Der of men to be ordered from the
city and county boards, by virtue of
their contributions of men to differ
ent branches of service.

new PEACE OFFENSIVE
Begun BY Huns as Western Drive
Falls-C0unt Czerlnn Declares
Austria Was on Verge of Ne
gOtiatiOns With Allies.

London, April 3-Austria-H Hungary
was recently almost on the point" Of
beginning peace negotiations with en-
tente Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun-
garian Foreign Minister, declared yes
terday in an address to the Vienna
Municipal Council.
The wind suddenly veered," he add
ed, the entente deciding to await de-
velopments in his country, which
caused 1t to hope that the dual mon
archy would soon be defenesless.
The Foreign Minister'S words were:
Recently we were almost on the
point of entering into negotiations
with the Western powers, when the
wind suddenly veered around and as
we know with certainty, the entente
decided 1t had better wait, as parlia-
mentary and political events in our
country justified the hope that the
monarchy would soon be defenseless ="
81 do not intend to beg for peace or
obtain 1t In by entreaties and lamenta-
tions, but to enforce it by our moral
right and physical strength" Count
Czernin asserted. "Any other tactics
consider will conduce to the pro-
longation of the war"
In regard to Bulgarian's claims
against Serbia, the Foreign Minister
said: Bulgaria must receive from
Serbia certain districts inhabited by
Bulgarians. We, however, have no
desire to destroy Serbia. We will en-
able Serbia to develop and would well
come closer economic relations with
her."
"Since came into Office" declared
Count Czernin, | have striven only
after one aim, merely, to secure an
honorable peace to the monarchy and
to create a situation which will secure
to Austria-Hungary her future free
development, and, moreover, to do
everything war will be the last one
for time out Of mind. l have never
spoken differently"
County Czernin added here, how
ever, declaration that he had no in
tention of begging for peace.
County Zzernin declared that Pre-
mier Clemmenceau of France had ask
ed Austria-Hungary on what basis she
would negotiate peace, according to a
dispatch from the Hague to the Daily
Mail. Austria replied that the only
obstacle to peace with France was AL
sace-Lorraine, and Premier Clemen-
ceau said that it was impossible to
negotiate on that basis.

Germany Exposes Hand in New Peace
Plot, But it is Doomed to Failure

Washington, April 3-Count Ger
nins statement that France had sug-
gested peace discussions with Aus
tria-Hungary was characterized by
officials here today as the beginning
of new German peace offensive with
the Austria-Hungarian foreign minis
ter acting at Germany's behest. The
speech of a political vancouver de-
signed to spread the impression in the
allied countries that the allied gov
ernments are fighting solely to recov-
er Alsace-Lorraine. The peace move,
they said, was timed to follow the
breakdown of the Teutonic military
offensive.
Any Teutonic suggestions that the
time for peace discussions is near at
hand will find nothing but negative
response in America.

THE SPORT OF KILLING MEN


(Don c. Seitz in Leslie's)
For off in France the smoke clouds
rise
AS the cannons thunder when
We go to join in the greatest game
In the sport of killing men.
Here is no place for gentle thoughts,
No room for humane things;
But blood and blows and sudden
death
The trump cards of the Kings.
Dealt out to us who bear our share
In the muddle of right and wrong,
Yet thrill with Joy at the battle cry,
Though few against the strong!
With sword and song we join the host,
Thin-spread in the fighting ranks
To lend hand in the desperate work
And follow the clanking tanks.
Across the fields where flowers grow
And lowing kline once fed
With steel and fame We do our bit
To multiply the dead!
The dead alone who count in war
As stakes in the royal play,
Once men like US with hearts and
souls,
Now spurned and cast away! r.
So face the game with the. best Of
match
As the cannons thunder when
We charge and fall at the trumphet's
call
In the sport Of killing men!
