MAY DECIDE ON BONE DRY RIDER ON AUG. 20

Washington, July 12.-Advocates and opponents in the Senate of the proposal for national war time prohi- bition negotiated today for an agree sment to vote on the 'sbone dry rider to the $11,OO0,O 900 emergency agricul- tural appropriation bill. : The prohibition leaders suggested a formal agreement to vote on August 20 on condition that they allow the bill to go over until after a summer vacation recess or adjournment of Congress.
 A counter proposal was that the abill go over and be given privileged status for continuance consideration after the vacation until a vote is reached.
 Congressional leaders plan to con- suit with President Wilson on the prohibition question, particularly re- garding considerations of revenue loss to the government and the effect on the new revenue bill.

14,0OO Cards Sent To Learn Addresses
 of Men in Service

Hartford, July 13-The state sec retary's office has completed the task of sending cards to the nearest rela- tive or friend" of every soldier voter in the state. Nearly 14,000 of these cards have been mailed, and they are already beginning to come back to the office with the addresses filled in. Some of them will probably never come back, and in such cases it is planned to send the ballots to the ad- dress obtained from the town clerk or postmaster ih the place in which the soldier last lived. u is thought, however, that over seventy-five per cent. will be returned.
 Deputy State Secretary Richard J. Dwyer consulted Postmaster David A. Wilson yesterday morning and full cooperation between the post office and the state secretary's office will be exercised to see that the bal lots reach their destination. The secreary has decided to send individ- ual ballots to all soldiers in France, in addition to the package of ballots that will be sent to his military unit as provided by law. Ballots will be sent to men in cantonments in this country only in packages for the whole unit and will be distributed by the officers of the camp.

HERTLINC DENIES GERMANS WILL
 HOLD BELGIUM
Chancellor Regards Present Occupation As Only Pawn
 for Future Negotiations.
CLAIMS WAR IS
 ONE OF DEFENSE
Every Imperialistic Tend ency Far From Minds is
 His Final Assertion.

Copenhagen, July 13-Denial that Germany intended to retain Belgium was made by Count von Hertling, the German imperial chancellor. in the course of his speech before the reich stag main committee on Thursday.
 '"The present possession of Bel gium only means that we have a pawn for future negotiations" the chan cellor said. We have no intention to keep Belgium in any form what ever"
 What we precisely want as ex- pressed by us on Feb. 24," the chan cellor continued, fs that after the war restored Belgium shall as a self dependent state not be subject to anybody as @ vassal and shall live with us in good. friendly relations.
 "I have held this point of view from the beginning in regard to Bel gium and I still hold 1t today This side of my policy is fully in con- formity' with the general lines, the direction of which I yesterday clear ly laid before you.
 ''We are waging the war as a war of defense as we have done from the very beginning and every fmper1- alistic tendency and every tendency toward world domination has been remote from our minds
 What we want is the inviolability of our territory. open air for the ex- pansion of our people in the econo- mic domain, and naturally, also se- curity in regard to the future. This is completely in conformity with my point of view in regard to Belgium, but how this point of view can be established in detail depends on fu- ture negotiations, and, on this point l am unable to give binding declara- tiOns"

GLOWING FUTURE
 FOR GERMANY
 SEEN BY KAISER

Amsterdam. July 13-How the Ger man Emperor pictures the future of Germany is recorded by his favorite war correspondent, the faithful Karl Rosner of the Lokal Anzeiger.
 a One evening. after a busy day in surveying operations from chain of observation posts, the emperor. chat ting with his entourage, spoke with glowing enthusiasm, says Rosner, of the time when the forces now let loose on destruction would again be placed in the service of peaceful pursuits. He sketched far reaching advance5 in the technical domain, in physics, chemistry and scientific farming. The emperor forecast that all of Ger many's needs in nitrates would be cov- cred by extracting nitrate from the air.
 The Emperor then described "the marvellous possibilities of the new gas motors and how purified waste waters from metal works would serve to fertilize the fields so that deserts will blossom like roses and make arid regions self supporting as regards food.
 With daring flights of fancy continues Rosner, the emperor pre- dicted the harnessing of the rays of the sun and the recovery of the oceans enormous treasures
 This will all come to pass, the en- peror assured his hearers, once Ger many obtains the strong peace" for which he is working

They have done this entirely of their own volition that the work of erecting these buildings may be expedited and there be no drawback so far as they are concerned in the steady flow of the greatly needed production of mu- nitions from this great plant.
 The faster these new buildings are erected the sooner will there be great increase in the output. The men working on the construction part of the work felt it was a patriotic duty to give this time which means no little sacrifice after a hard weeks work.

GEN. EDDY SUED BY ENLISTED MAN
 FOR S5O,OOO

New York, July 13-Didore Shus- ter pianist and music teacher, has filed suit for $5O,000 damages against Brig.-Gen. John G. Eddy, who re- tired two years ago as commander of the Second Brigade of the New York National Guard. Sinister, who is now in the army, charges that the old soldier slandered him before a Brook lyn draft board.
 The marriage of Shuster and Miss Elsie Ray Eddy, Gen. Eddy's niece, April 4, 1913, occasioned much sur prise in Brooklyn. She was 40 and well known as a soprano and an alumnus of Adelphi College. He was her music pupil, 22, with prospects of a career of exceptional promise.
 Young shuster and his bride lived at PIP Clifton place, Brooklyn. The pianist registered with the draft board of his district and was placed in Class 1B, which includes men who fail to support their wives.
 Shuster charges that the draft boards action was the result of un- just accusations made by Gen. Eddy. He says Gen. Eddy told member of | the board that Sinister had failed | to support his wife and had married her for money. AS a result of these statements, Sinister adds, he was greatly humiliated and disgraced and | lost not only music pupils but friends as well.
 He sought the board and asked that l he be placed in Class IA, so that he | could go to France without stigma on his name. but this was refused He is now with the National Army en route to France, according to his lawyer, Samuel A. Langfur.
 Mrs Sinister is the daughter of the ] late William P. Eddy. She founded
 the Laurier club and is actively in
