How Times Have Changed.

81 knew something like this would
happen as soon as the state went dry"
remarked Leonard Crane, sergeant or
police, after listening to a complaint
which had just been made over the
telephone.
"We used to answer this phone and
hear some woman say: My husband
has been drinking and he struck me
last night. would very much like to
have you arrest him. Now l an
swer the phone and some man says:
Say, when l came home last night my
wife hit me with pan and then punch
ed me in the eye. The worst Of
il is never did a thing and
vet she attacks me. Now l want you
to lock her up.
"Can you beat thatT continued the
sergeant. Things have sure changed
since the second of April, but I'm for
this dry stuff just the same."-In'

MAY EXTEND DRAFT is To as
Representative Julius Kahn Of the
House Military Committee Says We
Must Come to il Sooner or Later.

Washington.-Eigh million Ameri-
can soldiers in France will be needed
to secure complete victory over Ger
many, declared Representative julius
Kahn, ranking Republican member OF
the house military affairs committee,
Thursday afternoon.
He was discussing the intention
OF the administration to introduce ut
the short session beginning in De-
cember a bill extending the draft age
limits to Is to 45 years.
1--WE must come to it sooner or
later" said Kahn. "The sooner we
come to it the better. 1t is the only
way to avoid invasion of the third
and fourth classes under the present
draft during the coming year"
Raising the draft age this year
Kahn thought would be wise but not
absolutely essential. During the year
the need for men will not be greater
than the number that can be secured
from the first and second drat:
classes.
But present events demonstrats
that we cannot deliver the smash
ing blow necessary to victory over
Germany until We have reached
100000 men in France" he added
ITO do that within the present draft
ages, ii would be necessary to take
all but 100000 Of the men regis
tered last year-men with families
and with essential business-probabl
all but those physically untitled for
military service.
Members of the military affairs
committee estimated that changing
the draft age would make from g..
100000 to 100000 more men liable
to military service. A far larger pro-
portion Of the men in the 81 to As
class would have to be exempted on
physical, dependency and industrial
grounds than in the 81 to 81 years,
however, it was pointed out.

FIND DYNAMITE BURIED IN COAL
Nine Sticks Removed From Tender of
Engine Train Loaded With Soldiers.

Albany, Ala.-Nine sticks of dyna-
mite were removed from the tender
of an engine pulling a troop train here
Thursday. A few of the sticks were
exploded as a test, and the remainder
sent to Birmingham to government
secret service agents there. The troop
train was composed of IL Pullmans,
all loaded with soldiers.
The Negro fireman of the train
found five sticks of the explosive in
his shovel as he opened the door Of
the frebox to throw the shovel of
coal into the furnace. The discovery
was made 60 miles north of Mont
gomery, just after the engine had
stopped to re-coal.
Immediately an investigation was
started and in digging into the coal
piled high on the tender more sticks
were found.

U. s. Marines Take $50 Prisoners.

~ y. dhC OOO EEiSOUCTSs
With the American Army at the
Marne-A battalion of American ma
rines took the northern half of Belleau
wood northwest of Chateau Thierry),
capturing $50 Prussian and Saxon pris-
oners, including ten officers, and two
Krupp field guns of three-inch cali
Der, several huge minenenwefers and
machine guns.
The attack was delivered after two
hours of preliminary bombardment in
which the Allied artillery made the
shell-shattered wood an inferno for the
Germans resting there.
The furious American assaults
found the Germans stunned and reel
ing ready to surrender. The American
machine gunners inflicted the heav-
fest casualties upon the enemy.
Owing to the excellent artillery prep
aration and swiftness of the operation,
American casualties were light. The
Germans launched an attack on
Bouresches, but the assault was
smashed, thanks to the GOODNESS of
the American machine gunners and &C
curacy of the artillery.

U. S. Ready to Combat RuthIessness.

U. S. Ready to Combat Ruthlessness-
Washington.--In view of what has
been happening during the past few
weeks. officials here Thursday were
inclined to regard as a bit Of grim
humor the report from Berlin via
Holland. that the German government
is about to declare the eastern Amer
lean coast danger zone and to warn
neutral shipping of it's purpose.
Raiding submarines have already
served warnings of the danger in
more forceful terms than Berlin could
formulate in a diplomatic communica-
ton. Several of the Is vessels sunk
by the raiders were neutrals, carrying
no war supplies. Neutral govern
ments are not likely to have over
looked that fact, warning or no warn
ing.
Germany to Issue Warning.
It is recognized, however, that the
forthcoming warning" may pI ~ to
be formal announcement OF a zone
in American waters, where ruthless
sinking OF all ships is to be the or
der of the day, forecasting & contin-
uing menace off Atlantic ports
through regular submarine patrols.
Officials here have been fully awake
to the fact that such patrols could
be maintained if the German authori-
ties thought the results obtainable
justified diverting a large number OF
boats from operations off the French
and British coasts.
One Link Always on Duty.
1t has been figured out that by
starting a new raider or fiotilla of
raiders every five days, one link in
the endless chain of U-boats always
would be on duty In American wa
tiers.
Such operations would mean that
for every boat actively engaged on
this side, there would be several on
the way over and several more on
the way back to Germany, none of
which would have any substantial
value while en- route in either direc-
ton.
On this account, navy officials gen.
orally have discounted the patrol
idea, believing that much better re-
suits from the German viewpoint,
would be obtainable by using the
same number of boats where they are
now used, in the North sea or ada
cent waters.
1t is not regarded as impossible
that, either by using mother ships
or through the establishment of a
land base, no sign of which has yet
been discovered, the Germans have
hit upon a way of maintaining a u
boat flotilla for an indefinite time on
this side.

The sole result of the enemy's az.

up to the present is that he has by the
violence of his attacks east of the

front more into direct alignment with
that beginning at the Aisne.

Paris.-The offensive movement OF

est OF Villers Cotterets apparently
are on the wane In the former re-
gion the fierce resistance of the
French and Allied forces, for the time
being at least, has checked the enemy
at all points and on some sectors the
Allies have even turned vigorously
upon the foe and forced him to cede
ground he had gained.
Only one attempt apparently was
made by the enemy to better his posi-
tions near Montdidier. Here he
launched a violent counter attack
from Courcelles to the north of Merry
front of about a mile and half
but was badly cut up by the fire Of
the Allied guns and forced to retreat,
leaving numerous dead and wounded
on the field.
