SIAM ENTERS WAR
 WITH A NEW FLAG
(\ew York World.)

Siam has new flag. To commem crate the entry of his country into the war against Germany, King Mana Va girayudh decided to modify the flag by adding blue to it, in order that it might be a tri- i-color like the flags of the other Allies.
 This addition says the royal de- cree, will serve as a token of equal ity and honesty between Siam and her Allies. for it is a sign of the alli- ance of the world against barbarism. Besides, the blue color recalls the birthday of his majesty and is used especially for him. It seems good to him to make it figure in the national flag"
 By the terms of this decree the new flag has five horizontal stripes-red, white. blue, white, red. The width of the blue stripe is three-sevenths Of the total breadth. and that of each of the red and white stripes is one seventh.
 This flag is called the Thong trai Kong" and is flown upon all mer- chant vessels and ashore in Siamese territory Vessels in the government service fly the same flag, but with an anchor. a wheel and a crown, in vel low, in the middle. Those of the Royal Siamese navy carry in the middle a red disc on which is white elephant.
 The red flag with the white ele- phant used heretofore is abolished.

The news that the war industries board has fixed the price of copper at 26 cents per pound up to August b, has been widely circulated and enthus- iastically received by copper producers, but the conditions accompanying this action are not so widely known.
 /, First, that the producers of copper will not reduce the wages now being paid; second, that they will sell~to the United States government. to the pub | lie in the United States, and to the al- | lied governments at not above the maximum price; third, that they will take the necessary measures under the direction of the war industries board, for the distribution of copper to pre- vent it from falling into the hands of speculators, who might increase the price to the public; and fourth, that they will pledge themselves to exert every effort necessary to keep up the production of copper so as to insure an adequate. supply so long as the war lasts.
 The same board has also announced the following prices per ton or 1000 pounds on sulphuric and nitric acid, which twill expire September goth.

FREE STATES WILL
 DESTROY SCHEME
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. July 27.-The fu- ture peace of the world can be assured only by the dismemberment of Aus tria- Hungary and the establishment of the free states of the CZecho- Slovaks, the Poles and the Jugo- Slavs. l.. Mi chailovitch, Serbian minister to the United States, so declared tonight in a statement discussing the causes lead ing up to and the issues of the world war, which will enter upon its fifth year tomorrow.
 Establishment of the free states, the minister said. will destroy the German scheme for extension both to Persia and across Russia. So long as the dual monarchy exists in its present form, he added. the roads to Bagdad and Vladivostok will remain open.
 Whatever may be the conditions of peace," the statement continues, If, after this war, Austria Hungary still continues to exist, Germany will all ways have a free field and a route open for her expansion to the seas and this for the reason that Austria Hungary by the force of things. can only main tain herself with the support of Ger many"
 For these and other reasons, MT Michailovitch said, the Allies and tn, United States should aid the present movement of the Jugo- -Slavs and the Czecho- Slovaks in Austria Hungary to attain national freedom by every means in their power.
 'The collapse of Russia" the minis ter said in conclusion, has been of enormous advantage to Germany and the collapse of Austria Hungary which has begun. will bring to Germany either her defeat or her victory. This depends solely on the point of view the Allies and the United States will take up. On this decision depends the con- clusion of the war and the future peace of the world.''

DENVER, July 27.-Huerfano and Las Animas counties will continue to be bone dry" under federal regulation during August and September. In the interest of increased fuel production, w. J. Galigan, fuel administrator for Colorado, issued an order today that continues his order of June 1 whereby the two counties suspended the issu- ance of liquor permits for two months.
 Under federal supervisions following the order of June 1 coal production in Huerfano county in June showed an increase of 14,6S5 tons over the amount for the same month last year. The out put in Las Animas county. however, ] decreased S,993 tons from the produc- l tion of June, 1917. Officers of the Col orado division of the federal fuel ad- ministration regard the regulations as | having served the cause and attribute the decrease in Las Animas county in part to unskiled labor.

that will stand the test.
As to the requirement that the
dry amendment shall become eff
fective one year after ratification,
Senator BOrah said:
This language is either wholly
and absolutely surplusage and
has no business here, or else it
will prevent any real submission
of the question to the states.
1t can do no good, and it may do
much HARM
He went on to point out that
the constitution sets forth in un-
mistakable language when a pro-
vision of the constitution shall go
into effect, and maintained that it
lis not within the power of con-
gress, by Incorporating a differ
ent provision in proposed
amendment, to change the law of
the land. He declared the one
year clause to be out of harmony
with the constitution, adding:

will be, but it might endanger
the whole proceedings
As to the provision requiring
ratification of the prohibition
amendment within seven years,
otherwise decreeing that it shall
be "inoperative." Senator BOrah
said: 1--WE have no power by this
method to limit the time within
which this amendment shall be
ratified"
