Thursday is registration day and all
males from is up must register This
is with regard to the labor registrar
ton, and must not be onlused with
the draft registration for the army.
The labor registration will give the
government exact statistics of it's
manpoWer, what every man is doing
and what he is capable of doing. The
notice found in another column is
more explicit as to who should regis
ter, and should not be disregarded.
We do not understand it to mean that
you are to be snatched from your pres
ent employment and drafted into some
other job. The government has no
idea Of doing that at this time. 1t has
undertaken, however, to operate fed
eral employment agency which will
find jobs for men and find men for
jobs on the order o., the private agen-
cy. Certain occupations may and pro-
baby will be declared nonessential,
end men now working in them would
have the assistance Of this department
in finding other employment Labor
ers on railroads, farms and for firms
engaging exclusively in war contracts
do not have to register.

PROHIBITION BY JULY Likely
Congress, b. Compromise, Probably
VIII Pass War.Per,Od Measure,

Washington, Aug, 6.-Nstien-wiae
bone dry prohibition, effective
July 1, 1919, and continuing during
the war at least, is strong probabili-
ty as the result OF compromise ncgo-
tiations in Congress. An agreement
for passage Of legislation to stop sales
OF all intoxicating beverages on that
date is in sight.
President Wilson does not oppose
the legislation and senator's believe
the House will accept the proposal.
The wartime prohibition bill pend
ing in the Senate came up for con-
sideration today under the unanimous
consent agreement made several weeks
ago, giving it right of way until dis
placed while the Senate proceeded
with the man power bill. Then lead
ers proceeded with discussions on the
compromise.
AS it now stands the bill would
stop the sale of intoxicants January
l next. Senator Sheppard of Texas,
prohibition advocate, said that post
ponement of the date was agreed to
by spokesman of both factions at
President Wilson's suggestion. The
president believes additional time
should be given for financial and 9TH
er adjustments.
Formal conclusion of any agreement
is expected to pave the way for pas
sage OF the bill by the Senate late this
week or early next week.

A later and official report of the
engagement brings out interesting

and men for fine fighting qualities dis
played in their initial experience un-
der she'll and machine gun fire. The
French commander of that sector has
given the regiment the highest pos

spirit shown by the American ne

A JUST AND RIGHTEOUs PEACE
Sen. Lodge Warns Against Hun Pro-
paganda and Outlines Possible Terms.

Washington, Aug 23.-An earnest
! warning against 'insidious and pois-
onous" German peace propag anda and
declaration that peace must be dictated
| to and not negotiated with Germany
never again can disturb the world S
peace, were made in the Senate today
by Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts,,
ranking Republican of the Foreign
Relations Committee.
Peace terms which must and will be
forced on Germany were specifically
detailed by Senator Lodge, in address,
ing the Senate in support of the man
power bill to extend the army draft
ages. They included complete restora-
ton of Belgium, unconditional return
of Alsace-Lorraine to France and OF
Italia Irredenta to It!ly, safety for
Greece, independence for Serbia and
Rumania, an independent Poland in
dependence of the Siav peoples and
freedom o.. Russia from German DOM
ination, including return OF Russian
territory wrested by Germany in the
Brest-L' tovsk treaty.
Furthermore, Senator Lodge declar-
ed Constantinople must be made
free PORT and Palestine never restor
ed to Turkish rule.
Victory Worth Having.
these are the principa! condi-
tions,'' he said, (which will give a
victory worth having. No peace that
satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us.
1t cannot be a negotiated peace. 1t
must be dictated peace and we and
our allies must dictate it.
Germany undoubtedly will "a
tempt strong peace drive when she
feels victory is slipping from her
grasp" Senator Lodge asserted in
solemnly giving warning against the
least yielding until Germany is "beat-
en- to her knees and such peace en-
forced by dictation that will remove
her forever as a possible disturber of
the worlds peace.
.1The Germans, repulsed and los
ing said Senator Lodge, will un-
doubtedly resort to their other wea@
pom, which they have used more than
once during this war, with terrible eff
feet. They will begin in insidious
and poisonous peace propaganda. With
this weapon, they have succeeded in
disorganizing Russia. It is the Ger
man propaganda which we shall be
obliged to face in the ensuing months
and it therefore seems to me import
ant to know exactly what we mean
by peace. Generalities will not serve,
1t must be, it is commonly said-we
have all said it-s just and righteous
peace.
