SENATE ADOPTS
"DRY" MEASURE

Washington, Aug. 29.--National pro-
hibition moved a considerable step
forward today in congress.
Without record vote being taken
IN requested, the senate late today
adopted the leaders compromise OF
bone dry" prohibition, effective July
|, 1919, and continuing during the war
and until the American troops are
brought home and demobilized.
The compromise amendment by Sen
Ator Shepherd, of Texas, prohibition
leader, to the $11,O0O,0OO emergency
agricultural appropriation bill, is cx-
pected to remain in the measure under
the harmony agreement of wet" and
dry" factions, although technically
subject to another vote. Passage of
the bill itself is planned tomorrow,
and the measure will be returned to
the house, which is expected by pro-
hibition advocates to accept the sen
ate provision.

W. NJ. CAMERON FOR SPEAKER

Friends of Walter Cameron, demo-
cratic nominee for the state senate
from the Eleventh senatorial district,
composed of the counties of Marion
Franklin, Grundy and Warren, even
before the election, have started a
boom for him for speaker of the next
senate. Mr.. Cameron was in the city
yesterday and admitted he had heard
Of such movement. He said, howev-
err that it was too early to discuss the
question, and whatever he did it would
not be until after the November cleo
ton. The nomination of Mr.. Cameron
is regarded as an election. The Eley-
enth district is strongly democratic,
and the district has never sent
republican to the state senate. Mr.
Cameron was in the house of repre-
sentatives of the last legislature and
is regarded as a safe and conserv-
alive representative. He was nominal |
ed by the democrats of Marion coun- |
y over Leslie K. Darr, of Jasper.
Under the plan of rotation Marion
county was accorded the senator from
he district this year.-Chattano

this hour, leaders in Germany are
seriously making their plans for wha
they "the next war" 1t is their def
mite intention if they do not win this
war and win everything for which
they are fighting, and that means
world domination-to plan on still
larger scale for "the next war"
This thought is being pressed upon
German people and they are beinE
told by their leaders that Germany
must even now begin to look forward
to "the next war"
1t is the belief of thes people that
if they cannot conquer the world this
time, they must bring about peace
which will leave Germany in a posi-
ton, learning by present experience,
to prepare on still larger scale fol
their next great effort to conquer sll
mankind.
This is no idle or visionary dream
on the part of Germany, for if Ger
ildhy COulu dpOuL q pSdCC HulSll
would leave it and it's allies uncon-
quered, it would be in immediate
shape to concentrate its entire acti--
vities, mental and financial, to the
building up of still greater fighting
machine for that next war to which
Germany is looking forward as fol
years it looked forward to the day
when it hoped to be able to crust
France and England and then tc
crush America.
A premature peace or peace With
an unbeaten and crushed Germany
would leave that country in a position |
to secure control of Russia, with its |
boundless resources, with its 906000f |
square miles of territory or one-sixth |
of the land area of the world, and |
with nearly 2OO,OOO,OOO people, who |
under good leadership could be mad, |
into an army of tremendous fighting |
power.
With Russia in it's possession, Ger
many would become the greatest
financial, industrial and military pow
er in the world, so far surprising in |
that respect the combind wealth ano |
power of Great Britain and the Unit
ed States that it would be able to win
the next war.
Moreover, while Germany was get
ting ready for that war the rest OF
the world would have to concentrate
it's energy upon a feversh activity in
the creation of fighting machines with
all the wealth and all the power OF
these countries given UP to the build
ing up of armies, and navies and the
making of munitions, so that the en-
tire world would be but one vast mil
itary camp.
The complete and overwhelming de-
feat of Germany in this war and
drastic penalty imposed upon Ger
many and its allies, penalty of death (
for the leaders, and financial in
demnity which would tax those coun
tries for fifty years to meet it, is the )
only possible salvation for the world t
from German domination or from a a
continued concentration of the worlds t
thoughts upon war to the exclusive b
