HUNS AGAIN BOMB
 HOSPITAL KILLING
 PHYSICIANS, NURSES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN June 25.-(By the Canadian Press.)--A Canadian hosp,rai on a site behind the British front occupied for IS months, was bombed by the Ger mans last night and several persons, including doctors and officer patients. were killed or seriously wounded.
 The bombing of the Canadian hos- pitals last night followed the bombing of two other Canadian hospitals near the coast. The building on which bombs were dropped last night shelter ed thousands of wounded during the fighting last March.
 Unusual Toll of Huns
 Canadian nurses, doctors, officers and patients were among the number of those killed or seriously wounded.
 The roofs were painted with great red crosses and the buildings have never been used during the war for military purposes.
 Last night one three story wing which was about 200 yards long caught fire after being cut in half by a bomb. The hospital staff rescued helpless pa tients cut off by the flames, carrying them through shattered windows ana down ladders to safety. The first bomb went through two floors and into the operating room where the staff was working on urgent cases that had just arrived. The doctors and nurses were buried under debris and in a few minutes the whole oper- ating section was a flaming tomb.
 Members of the personnel whose headquarters were on the top floor of the wrecked building had narrow escapes.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 25.-President Wilson gave his approval to plans of congressional leaders for a brief re- cess of congress while the new reve- nue bill is being prepared by the house ways and means committee.
 Plans for the recess to begin early next month and continue until early in August. were laid before the president by Senator Martin of Virginia, Sena- tor Simmons of North Carolina and Representative Kitchin of North Caro- lima. They suggested and the president assented to suspension of congress as soon as the appropriation bills and a few other matters are disposed of. The president was told this might be ac- complished early next week, possibly in time for congress to recess before July 1.
 Representative Kitchin stated that it probably would be early in August before the ways and means committee could complete drafting the war reve- nue bill.

 FRONTING HIS ARMY

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Monday, June 24.-(By the Associated Press).- Italy's victory has been one of science over blind courage. The Italians from the start had more artillery against them, but their fire was always ac- curate and quick, while the Austrian fire was diffused. The Italian in fantry at times were opposed by five times their number, yet the Austrian troops were driven back notwithstand- ing their splendid courage which the Italian commander in chief. General Diaz, has called unfortunate valor."
 Secret of Victory
 The secret of the Italian victory seems to lie in immediate counter at tacks, which were carried out wherever the enemy showed himself, local coun- ter attacks being followed up by coun- ter offensives all along the line. Thus the enemy was never given any rest and never allowed to replenish his supply of troops.
 The general feeling at headquarters Is that, although the victory has been great. there are yet harder days ahead of the defending forces.
 Want Americans There
 If we only had American troops with us now we would do still better work, was the remark heard by the correspondent on all sides.

APPROVE HIGH LACED BOOTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

MARIA, Tex. June 25.-High laced boots have been found by army Of ficers serving in the Big Bend districts to be more practical than the riding boot worn by cavalry officers in other parts of the country, the laced boot is more sturdy, wears longer and stands the rough usage of the rugged country composing this district better than does the more dressy riding boot. The laced boots are less expensive than are the more highly finished riding boot ana the officers here call attention to pie lures of General Foch and General Patain wearing the laced boot as proof that it is a model boot for field service.

Because of a mistake in reporting the classification of Illinois registrants there will be no calls from that state during July. Arizona was not in- cluded in the last general call, presum- ably because all of the registrants in class one physically qualified for mill itary service had been exhausted. It probably was for the same reason that no call was made on it for the July 22-25 mobilization.

PROHIBITION BOTH
 ATTACKED AND ALSO
 STRONGLY DEFENDED
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 25.-National prohibition as war measure was at tackled and defended by government officials today before the senate az riculture committee. which had re- opened hearings on the Jones prohi- bition amendment to the emergency appropriation bill. The hearings were concluded late today and Chairman Gore announced that the committee would meet next Thursday to vote.
 Strong Men on Both Sides
 Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board Postmas- ter General Burleson and Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, united in oppo- sition because of it's probable effec: on workingmen, while Secretary Dan iels, E. c. Dinwiddie, representing the anti-saloon league of America, and a number of business men urged its en- actment
 Chairman Huriey's Stand
 In opposing the amendment, Chair man Hurley declared this is no time to conduct unnecessary experiments, for if the nation is to wiring victory from the Huns it will have to fight hard with all it's resources. He said he believed more risk would be in- volved in taking beer from the Amer ican workingman than would be in | the conscription of labor, because it would result in partial interference with liberty without any increase in control"
 Calls Them "Faddists" Postmaster General Burleson branded nationwide prohibition agi | tat fo d if such step is necessary for the winning of the war he would support it. although he would hesitate a long time if he had any doubts on the subject
 Samuel Gompers said organized la Dor is overwhelmingly opposed to na- tional prohibition and to propose such a step at this time is only to cause discord. To pretend the Jones amendment is being advocated on the grounds that it would conserve food is hypocrisy, MT. Gompers de- clared, adding that 'faddists" are talk ing advantage of the war to press the issue. Organized labor, MT. Gompers declared, is willing to abide by the judgment of President Wilson, and when he thinks the manufacture and sale of intoxicants should cease, nc opposition will come from labor.
 Says 1t Means Bankruptcy
 Representing a committee of bank, CTS from the larger cities, Percy H Johnston, ice-president of the Chem ical National bank, New York, insist, ed the Jones amendment would throw thousands of banks and busi- ness houses into bankruptcy.
