Penrose Leading Fight
in the Senate Against
Making Nation "Dry"
BY Assoeiated Press

Washington, July 10 The fight
began in the Senate to-day over the
amendment to the 100000 emer-
gency food appropriation bill pro-
posing national prohibition during
the war after December 1.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
prominent in opposition to the pro-
hibition legislation, called up the
committee amendment and pressed
his point of order that it is general
legislation to an appropriation hill
and subject, under the rules, to eli
animation from the bill.
Prohibition advocates vigorously
contested the parliamentary move.
In support of the point of order
Senators Penrose and Phelap insist
ed virtually every line in the bill
carries an appropriation and that
the rule barring general legislation
was applicable.

MORE HORSES ARE
NEED OF STATE
State Authorities Urge That
Farmers Give Attention
to Breeding Plans

Among other war activities of the
Secretary Patton is urging the farm
ers to raise horses of superior types
and conformation suitable for army
uses, for which there is bound to
be a lively demand during the next
few years. The pressing demand of
the Army in horses for the express
and heavy weight draft types. weigh
ing from 1.400 to 1000 pounds. and
these types are also in great demand
for commercial industries.
The more desirable specimen of
the draft animal is one closely made
and compactly built. big round bar
rel, good spring of rib with deep
flank and ample heart girth. The
legs are clean cut with good quality
of bone.
In the interest of breeding good
horses there is a state law requiring
the registration and licensing of all
stations and jacks standing for
service in Pennsylvania. This law.
with its amendments. has been in
effect since 1911 and has a marked
effect in encouraging the use bf
high grade. desirable stations for
service.
In the early administration of the
law the requirements covering quail
ity and desirability were not strictly
drawn, in order to avoid inconven-
fence, losses and disbursement to
prospective breeders. A certain
amount of education was necessary
to impress small breeders with the
economic Importance of paying
larger fees for the services of high
class stations. 1t was also neces-
sary to gain time to allow the i'm
portation and preparation of more
stations of this class. AS the good
horses increased in numbers and be-
came more widely distributed over
the state, the rules for licensing We're
drawn tighter so as to exclude the
less desirable types of stations. This
encouraged stallion owners and
many of them voluntarily unsexed
the old misfits and replaced them
with good horses, obtaining higher
fees from discriminating patrons.
The good results from careful ad-
ministration of the law is shown in
Circular No. 40 of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, which is ready
for free distribution. In 1908 there
were 252 Percherons pure Dred ana
registered, licensed to stand. In
1917 the number had increased to
$50. During the same period the
Belgians increased from S5 to 116.
Other pure breeds showed a similar
ratio of increase, while the monde
script or mixed breeds showed a
marked decrease.
In 1917 the State Live Stock San
itary Board issued licenses to 1,S04
stations and five jacks. Up to July
1, 1918, only 1900 stations have
been licensed

NOTABLE REVIEW
Tells What the Compensation
Board Has Accomplished in
the First Six Months

chairman Harry A. MaclSey, of the
Public Service Commission, to-day
issued this review of compensation
work: During the first six months
of the year 1918, we have received
reports showing $3.50 accidents suf-
Tered in the prosecution of Penn
sylVania industry. OF these 1857
have been fatal. We have now round
ed out exactly two and a half years
of compensation work in Pennsyl-
Vania, and during that time the
workmen of Pennsylvania to the
number of 577,053 have suffered in
Juries and 1875 have given up their
lives in intensive occupation.
During these two and a half
years, 159,659 men or injured per-
sons have received compensation,
while the dependant wives and chill
dren of 1896 men who have been
killed in industry, have likewise re-
ceiVed assistance under the schedule
or compensation provided by cur
law. The difference between the
number of men injured and those
receiving compensation, about 400,-
600, repr1Zent the number of men
who have sustained injuries and
through prompt and efficient medi-
cal attention provided by the Penn
sylVania law, have been returned to
industry within a period of fourteen
days and have therefore not been
listed as compensate cases.
During these two and a half
years we have provided for these

mand, apparently they have not yet
reused the Germans to action. Fran
co-American troops on the French
front have taken 5.400 prisoners
since June Is. The German hesita-
ton in resuming the offensive is Civ
ing the allies, although prepared to
day they improve their positions by
advances in local operations in which
year or so ago would have been
looked upon as siZable battles.
Berlin Has Many Claims
In an attack against the new
French positions in the Longpont re-
gion, south of the Aisne, the Ger
mans have failed to advance. The
enemy has made no attempt to re-
coup the losses sustained in the
French forward movement south
west of Noyon, in which the Ger
mans lost $40 prisoners and 80 ma
chine guns. The weather on the Brit
ish front had been rainy and un-
favorable.
Berlin continues to report officially
that all allied efforts are being re-
pulsed. Allied patrol actions are
made to appear as attacks and allied
attacks as small raids. Claim is made
by the German command that sue
cessful local engagements" have
been fought west of Chateau Thierry
where the Americans and French
hold the line northwestward toward
the RetZ forest, east of Villers-Cot-
terets. Allied communicates make no
mention of any fighting there. /.
Success in Albania
Italian successes in Alba
MIA apparently threaten seriously
the Austo- Hungarian situation in
Central Albania. The French are
making good gains in eastern Alba
MIA west of Lake Ochrida while the
Italians are advancing speedily in
the west, The Austrian line appears
to be V-shaped with the allies press
ing hard on both fianks and the point
of the salient being near Berat. An
Austrian retirement of any moment
would probably compel the Bulgar-
ians to rearrange their lines in
Macedonia, east of Lake Ochrtda.
Siberia Sets Up Government
A new provisional government for
Siberia has been set up in Vladi-
vostok, now in control of Czecho-
Slovak forces. It will oppose the
central powers. The new government
is reported to have the support of
the population.
Admiral Won Hintze, the German
minister at Christiania, 1t is report
ed, will succeed DR.. Richard Won
Kuehlmann, as German foreign Sec
retary. Emperor William is said to
have accepted Won Kuehlmann's S
resignation which probably was
brought forth by remarks made in
his recent speech to the Reichstag
as to the improbability of ending the
war by force of arms. Admiral Won
Hintze is the former minister to
China and Mexico.
