teaching or advocacy of any of the pro- hibited acts in the measure, while an- other general and broad provision makes the penalties apply to those who by word or act support or favor the cause of any country with which the United States is at war or by word or act oppose the cause of the United States therein'
 Another section of the bill, which was the most vigorously attacked in the Sen ate, provides that if the Postmaster Gen. eral deems any mail violative of the espionage laws as amended by the blll he may withhold it from addresses. Another clause provides for dismissal of federal employees committing any dls- loyal act or uttering disloyal remarks.
 One Of the chief controversies in the Senate was over elimination by the con ferees of the France amendment proVid- ing that the bill should not apply to truthful statements made with good mo- tives-rhe general libel law. Senator France of Maryland, it's author, and Sen ator Johnson of California led the fight to retain the amendment, declaring il would preserve constitutional liberty ot speech and the press It was opposed by the department of justice, however, as a burden in obtaining convictions.
 A memorandum from the army intelli- gence bureau opposing the France amendment. submitted to the Senate to- day by Senator Overman, cited resort by German agents to American literature ir propaganla work. It said thousands o1 copies of the sermon of the Rev. John Haynes Holmes of New York had heer dropped recently by German airmen within the British lines in an effort to incite rebellion.

DRINK A GLASS
 OF REAL HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST. Says we will both look and feea clean, sweet and fresh
 and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results-~that are of untold blessing to humanity, The lat est application of it's untiring research is the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanita- tion of the drainage system of the hu man body as it is to the drains of the house.
 Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the sys- tenn each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or breakfast, drink a glass of real hot phosphate in it to wash from the stom- days indigestib1e waste, sour bile and sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach
 The millions of people who are both cred with constipation. bilious spells, stomach trouble. rheumatic stiffness others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly compleXions are urged to get quarter pound of lime : stone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little but is suffi- .ient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal san itation.-Adv.

DECATUR

Decatur, May 4.-(Special.) )-Mayor James A. Nelson has received commun- ication from Clarence Ousley Assistant Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, urging him to enforce the law against vagraney. MT. Ousley says a rigid enforcement of these laws would aid in the solving of the food production problem which confronts the people of the United States today. MT. Ousley writes at length giving many helpful sug- gestions. Among other things he says: Since inc government cannot create la bor or coerce it it becomes a duty on both patriotism and self-interest for the towns adjacent to agricultural regions to utilize to the fullest possible extent their man power in and of agriculture. 7

 COMPARATIVELY INACTIVE

The Somme front has been threaten ing to break out into it's former furious activity for several days past, but aside from the recent thrust by the French which gained them commanding ground in the Avre sector, southeast of Amiens and similar operations by the British around i.lers-Bretonneux, just to the north, the fighting has been left almost entirely to the artillery. The big guns gre still booming threateningly in the Avre region and elsewhere around the great Montdidier salient however.

 GOWNS FOR WOMEN 1. OF J. s. ADVOCATED
Convention of Women s Clubs Hears Addresses on Question of Simpli-
 fled Clothing

Hot Sprigs. Ark, May 4.-No radical departure for womens dress because of
 America being in the war will be taken
 hurriedly, according to M. D. Crawford, art editor of New York. who addressed the women of the conservation of cloth ing section of the fourteenth biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs here today The women appeared to like this attitude Mir Craw- ford asserted that while there would still he frills and color schemes in the garb of women, extravaganza would be pre- vented, as texture was to be forfeited.
 Helen Louise Johnson of Watertown, x. Y., who also addressed the conserva- ticn section, explained that her idea of standardization of women's dress as not meaning one radical unit of dress should be chosen but that after women had oDce found one becoming style of dress, this should not be changed with every | varying whim of manufacturer de- signer. Miss Johnson wore a gown she | has adopted as becoming style.
 1 MT. Crawford in his address discussed i the textile industry and it's relation tc 1 the war and asserted that if it became l essential to the winning of the war for every woman to be garbed in sacks, he 1 believed the woman of America would accept the edict but he said he hard l ly thought this would become necessary | Made in the United States" said the ] speaker, should be the rule applied tc
 our present change. American made l goods are being sold over the counters of the big shops all over this country not perhaps under a direct stamp that is
 | false, but under the inuendo that they are
 l importations. Why is it that the shor I keepers are not honest and why is i l that the American women will not le
 | their shopkeepers be honest? I would ad
 lvocate as the most effective step toward I helping our institutions, and our nation
 that every manufactured product mad
 in this country be stamped Made in the
 United States of Amerca.'

Washington, May 4.-(SpeciaL)-The re- suit of the so-called European war is dependent on the United States.
 That idea expressed to the correspon- dent of The Age-Herald by a French diplomat at present in Washington, has taken hold. Conservative military men of the United States admit conviction that it is true.
 Another general admission is that had the I5nited States not supported France, England, Russia, Italy, Serbia and asreece with money, food and munitions of war, Germany would already have scored a signal victory

ing to military observers in Washington. There is no question but that England and Fran,e adhere to that belief. That Germany saes the handwriting on the wall is proved in it's obvious effort to crush England and France before Amer ica can prepare.
 Should the war be brought to end by revolution in Germany or Austria, or should the Kaiser, before final destruc- ton. abandon his present project and ask for honorable" peace, America will of course be denied the privilege of carry ing the day
 But by the present reckoning, the open belief that the war will be fought to an end, the United States must ultimately relieve England and France and fight the Kaiser almost single handed. That very thing the United States is preparing to do-and, in the opinion of the President and Secretary of War, can do.
