nights to work their way to Fismette.
On the last lap of their journey the
Britishers ran thru a German barrages

The Britishers said that the ration
given prisoners was three-quarters

MISSOURI TO RATIFY
Drys Sure of Majority for Federal
Amendment in Both Houses.

Kansas City, Aug. 1.-THE placing
of Missouri in the dry column and
the ratification of the national prohf-
bition amendment may depend upon
two votes cast for Ross e. Feaster for
the Democratic nomination for state
senator in the Sixteenth district. Of
fetal returns yesterday gave Feaster
3,177 votes, and the present incum-
bent, John Baldwin, 3,175. Henry.
Bates. st. Clair and Cedar counties
compose the district.
The nomination of Feaster-thjs
election practically assured by the
preponderance of Democratic votes in
the district-gives the dry forces the
final vote necessary to control the
Democratic caucus, thereby the power
of organizing the senate and abro-
eating the two-thirds rule heretofore
used by the vets to throttle the drys
and dry legislation.
Pledges in the hands of the dry
forces. from both Republican and
Democratic nominees, indicate that
both the senate and the house are
safely dry, and that the abrogation of
the two-thirds rule in the house will
permit the drys to easily ratify the
national amendment and to put
over" such legislation as they may
choose. no matter what the outcome
of the general election may be. This
however. is not expected to material
ly affect the party lines as now con-
stituted in the senate.
