Lyon Describes Magniture of American Efforts Now
 Being Made in France
KAISER WOULD BEG
 FOR ALLIES MERCY
If He Once Gets a Glimpse at the American Armies
 In Full Action.
By c. G. LYON

IGN. E. A. Staff Correspondent to Gen
 eral Pershing's Army.)
 If Kaiser Bill and his war lords could see what I have seen in and behind the American lines during the Hast few days, they'd quit cold and get down on their knees and beg for mercy.
 A terrible beating is in store for him. These wonderful American armies have hit their stride. There is more truth than poetry in the claim that American troops will march down the streets of Berlin be- fore this war is over.
 Marvellous is the only adjective that fittingly describes what General Pershing accomplished in the ten weeks 1 spent in America on fur tough.
 Whereas he had only few divi- sions in line early in June, now he counts his fighting divisions by the tens. Then he held only a compara- lively few miles of the long allied front, but now American troops have been fighting on the whole front from Ypres to the Swiss border.
 Behind the fighting lines, the mag nitude of the American effort is even more noticeable. The ports are clog ged with American ships mammoth transports and giant freighters, heavily armed cruisers and battle ships, and scores of slim, graceful submarine chasers.
 It all made me mighty proud I am an American and that I come from a country that can accomplish such vast things in so short time.
 On the road to Paris and to the front more evidences of Americas g greatness in war are apparent on every hand Miles and miles of Ware houses stretch back from the sea, and an American flag floats from everyone of them. In those ware houses are enough food and neces- saries to maintain our armies for months.
 Tens of miles of railroad tracks have been laid for the operation of American railroad iines It fills one with an indescribable thrill to have a man in khaki stick his head out of train goes by: "Howdy, partner! w ItuC > Illc llCWS UdCk uOnlE American training camps have sprung up all over France. They compare in bigness with anything we have in America. And nearly every town of any size on a railroad from the seacoast to the war zone had been taken over" by the American boys, who scatter American prosper ity among the shopkeepers. The de- pots are all pcliced by American troopers.
 Within the last three months some of our aviation camps have expand ed until five times as many aviators are being given the finishing touches for service as in any American camp; artillery camps are ten times as big as anything at home
 In a word. General Pershing now has the men, the supplies, and the FIGHTING SPIRIT to make Ameri- cas- effort the real, determining fac- tor in this war It is the mighty American effort that has filled the whole allied side with a wonderful WILL TO WIN.
 Its only matter of time now until Germany will be prostrate," a great French statesman said to me in Paris the other day There is no longer any question about our side winning; the only question is how soon.'

President to Name Dry Zones" Around All War
 Manufacturing Plants.
IS A PART OF THE
 PROHIBITION "RIDER"
Draft Stacker Raids Matter of Live Discussion With
 Senate Members.

Washington, Sept. '5.-Altho the senate today adopted resolution ,au- thorizing the President to establish "dry" zones around coal mines. ship yards. intuition and other war plants. on the emergency agricultural appro- priation bill. with it's rider providing 3 for national prohibition from July 1, 1919 until the nations huge army is mustered out after the war.
 The resolution for prohibition zones about war plants was part of the prohibition rider
 It was adopted separately.
 Offered by Senator Kellog of Minn- esota, the separate resolution was approved without roll call. For Immediate Use. The Kellog resolution is a clause in the pending national prohibition bill before the senate, but it's author said that it's enactment might be de- layed and that the separate resolu- tion was necessary to deal immedi- ately with conditions resulting from liquor sales to war workers. Effort was made by Representative AhIIlc1 Ol MIAACSOCd, lO UI HIS luo IC solution before the house but repre- sentative Dent of Alabama objected ! and it went over.
 Smokers Discussed.
 Long discussion of the stacker round up at New York and of the federal trade commission and it's report or profiteering occupied most of the sen ate's time today and prevented z vote, despite attempts of prohibition champions to hasten disposal of ths measure.
 Prohibition leaders said that actior i of the senate in separately adopt ing the zone legislation would no interefere with or embarass the pro hibition section of the bill.
 They plan it's retention in the az ricultural measure upon final pass age.
 The senate also defeated action to day on the amendment of Senate Bankhead of Alabama, proposing gov ernment purchase of distilled spirits left in storage when the prohibition clause becomes effective.
 In considering food production ap propriation items in the bill today Senator King of Utah, endeavored t strike out many which hec ontended were wasteful and already provid ed for.
 King Attacked Bill
 Senator King also attacked the en tire bill, declaring that if enacted j would exempt from military servic 11,OOO men in the department neede' to carry it into effect

Foes Morale Is Found Weak
 By Americans
Seven German Divisions Disbanded-Line is Ma
 terially Shortened.

With the American Troops in France, Wednesday, Sept. 4 (By The Associated .Press.)-Every evidence obtainable by the Americans as they press upon the German armies points to the continuous and ever more rapid weakening morale of the enemy troops and the lowering of their ef- fectiveness to serious point.
 The American military authorities draw this conclusion from the action of the German command in shortening the line by voluntary withdrawals, it's enforcement of longer tours of duty in the front trenches upon the troops, the combing of the service for infan- trvmen, the disbanding of storm bat talions to bolster up inferior divisions and even use of Austrian troops on the western front.
 At least seven German divisions have been disbanded so that the men might be used to replace losses sus- tained during the summer campaign.
 Some separate regiments have been broken up also.
 Prisoners declare that the practice of forming storm battalions so weak ened the infantry regiments that it had to be given up.
 A captured document shows that g plan had been projected to bisband the 4th company of every battalions which has fallen below $50 men, de- ducing the battlaion to three compan- ies.

 There can be no doubt of his retreat ing general direction of St. Quen- tin to take up the position of the Hindenburg line that he held after the strategic withdrawal in 1917. Only this time the allied troops are forcing his movement and pressing hard on
 In short time now the allies shall his heels, causing him heavy losses. have recovered all of the ground lost since March and shall have gained east of Arras a position which is a permanent threat to Douai and Cam brai. In addition in less than six months Ludendorff will have irreden- iably ruined the effectiveness and morale of these German armies that were so formidable in the west at the beginning of the wear.
