Predictions Being Fulfilled.

No astonishment need be created by
the announcement at ministerial con-
ference at Portsmouth, in this state, by
visitor from Washington, that after
the liquor prohibition fight has been
won it was the intention of that partic-
ular church to launch drive for the ex-
tirpation of the nicotine eviP' Tobac-
co is to follow alcohol into banishment.
1t is taken as accepted that the machin-
cry of the National Government is to be
used. Congress is to be raked and be-
deviled until it Submits Federal
amendment prohibiting the growing or
importation of tobacco, and in turn each
Legislature will be raked and bedeviled
until it is adopted and made the law of
the land
1t has been fashionable to sneer at
the prediction that these regulators of
their brothers conduct would strike at
the use of tobacco. Indeed, those who
made it were, in the pleasant and emin-
emily fair manner SO characteristic of
reformers, charged with aiding and
abetting the liquor traffic and denounc-
ed in language used mainly by rowdy
victims of that traffic Already the
familiar symptoms of fanaticism are
making their appearance. Users of to-
bacco are being informed that they are
immoral and their indulgence is sinful
There has already been formed ma
tional anti-tobacco association and a
literature has been created, the contri-
butors being clergymen and physicians
Frightful examples Of the terrible ef-
feet Of nicotine upon the human sys-
tenn, whose frightfulness suggests in
vention, are being collected, and lectur-
ers are preparing addresses calculated
to produce in the popular mind fears
that the safety of the race is being i'm
periled. This established and reli-
gious cast given the movement, the rest
of the task is easy. The way will then
be cleared for the next sumptuary prop
aganda. Cincinnati Enquirer, editor

STOP ENEMY CAVALRY
Quickly Block Effort to Cut Allied
Line.
Wipe Out Formidable Force of Ger
man Horsemen and Break Up
Infantry Attack.

With the American Armies In
France, July 20. - American troops,
facing their first cavalry charge of
the war, utterly wiped out a formid-
able force of German horsemen east
of Rheims, and defeated what appar-
emily was an ambitious attempt to
cut the Allied lines and reach Chalons.
So far as is known this is the first
time the enemy has employed cavalry
since the counter offensive began.
Immediately afterward the same
American unit broke up a combined
attack of infantry and tanks. The
Americans held an important sector
on a slight rise, behind a c~halk-colored
hill, yer which were the enemy front
positions. When the German cavalry
topped the hill and swept down upon
the Americans they ran into a unit
which has q remarkable record for
sharpshooting.
Opening up with machine guns, au-
tomato rifles and Enfields, the Amer
leans quickly dropped men and horses.
The artillery Joined in adding to the
slaughter. The cavalry dwindled un-
til only a handful remained. Those
galloped back over the hill to the
German lines.

SUSPENSE IN SITUATION
Allied Position On Marine Is Not
Yet Secure.
Defense May Yet Be Taxed to Utmost
by Concentrated Drive
by Germans.

London, July 22.-What the Ger
mans are going to do on the battle
front from Rheims to the Marine to
the Aisne is the question which occu-
pies most of the military and editorial
commentators In the morning news
papers.
While 1t is conceded that General
Foch's brilliant counter stroke has de-
prfyed the Germans of the initiative
In the Rheims sector and caused them
serious damage, 1t is not universally
assumed the positions in that area can
be stabilized without much further Sc
we're fighting. Warning is given to re-
member how the British surprise adj
vance at Cambria was afterwards
countered by the Germans.
Looks for Foe Withdrawal.
On the other hand the view that the
enemy cannot do much more between
the Aisne and the Marne has it's rep
resentatives, and these look for the
withdrawal of the Germans from south
of the Marine to reorganize their line.
A third speculation refers to the
probability of the enemy striking a
fresh violent blow in some other direc-
ton, in which a 8 1t is assumed gen.
orally the attack will fall on the Brit
ish armies.
1t is recognized everywhere the Ger
mans have the power to concentrate
strength for a thrust that will tax the
Allied defense to the utmost. Not
outstanding their losses, the Germans
are believed to have at their disposal
at least 40 divisions, and unless or
until these are beaten the situation OF
the Allies must, 1t Is contended, be
one. of suspense and anxiety affording
no ground for ~over-elation or exces-
sive confidence.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, July 23.-Feature of
the live stock trade continues to be
the soaring of hog prices. Deal to-
day showed a fresh advance of $50
Csc, with tops ranging up to $1S.45.
establishing a new record price for
the year, with the bulk of mixed and
butcher grades from $500 @1S.35,
with packers mostly from $4,000
1900.
Cattle supplies, both here and else
where, were on the generous order
and the undertone to trade was quiet.
Locally the run was estimated at
1000, about the same number as ar
rived a week and a year ago. Market
on killers showed mild unevenness,
best steady to strong, with plain quail
ity stuff weak. Upper classes of
stockers and feeders received early
attention at steady to strong figures,
while common light stuff was slow
to move and weak.
Sheep release continued broad and
prices were maintained on a firm
basis with the close of the week.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Squabbles, wordy
alterations, unkind and e%xasperating
or wen insulting words used In the
heat of passion aroused by chickering's
do not constitute cruel and inhuman
treatment, according to a recent d.
vorce case decision by the appellate
division. The court added:
Unfortunately for our weak ma
ture, these things constitute conduct
which renders 1t unsafe or improper
to live together"
Testimony went to show that the
wife, who sought divorce and alimony,
objected to the presence Of a stepson
and chased the male members of the
family from the house.
I'm these squabbles she (the plain
tif) seems to have been able to hold
her own" said the court. I'VE do not
think any law requires a domestic
exile to support a wife while living
apart from her own family"

use SNAKES IN war
California Man Has Scheme to
Kill Off Huns.
Lonesome Jack" Says Side Winders
Would Extermlnate Whole
Boche Army.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"Lonesome jack
Altman, king of all rattlesnake catch
ers, offers to gather 10000 side winders
or hornet rattlesnakes If the govern
ment will let him, dump them into
trenches vacated to the Germans by
the Americans and let the snakes do
the rest. The side winder Is a death
dealer extraordinary, strikes three
times as fast as any other RATHER, and,
unlike others, does not act on the heart
but paralyzes the nerves within 20
minutes.
Altman would have no trouble In
gathering them in Arizona and the I'm
perial valley. he says. The Germans
Ii they possessed such a deadly weap-
on would not hesitate to use 1t, Altman
believes.
THE beauty of my idea is that the
rattler car live five or six months in
captivity without either food or water
and they will be just as effective dur
ing that. time," says Altman. II have
an antidote for rattlesnake bite that
could be supplied to anyone that han
dies them, but the Germans would
not know what stung them.
MY idea would be to catch them
and then soak their tails In warm wa
ter. Then the shell that rattles and
gives warning could be removed with
out injury to the snake. Their fangs
are so sharp that unless the warning is
given with the rattles a person would
hardly know what bit him. Side wind
ers range In size from four to twelve
feet.

FOE MUST ACT QUICKLY
Cannot Delay n Marine Line Is to Be
Saved,

Saved.
Washington, July 22.-Two choices
in the opinion of military observers
here are open to the Germans high
command as the result of the Franco
American counter strike between the
Aisne and the Marne, and decision
must be made within a few hours.
Either the advance of the Allied troops
must be halted, It was said, or the
Germans must evacuate the salient
they hold south of the Marine and pos
sibly the entire territory occupied at
the time of the offensive on the Che
min des Danes front last May. The
Germans, 1t was believed, must stop
the counter stroke before very shortly
or fall back.
All reports indicate that despite
strengthening resistance, due no doubt
to fresh reserves being thrown into
the battle, the French and American
forces are making steady progress.
