The death of Maj. John Purroy
Mitchell, former mayor of New YORK
and ono Of the first we'll known Amer
leans to volunteer for the war, is es-
pecially glad and regrettable, because
he had reached point Of great skill
in aviation, but had not yet been sent
into action. The sacrifice was one he
was willing to make, but ne had hoped
TO. accomplish much befbrs making it
Maj. Mitchell was one of the first
prominent men of the country, while
yet mayor Of New York, to take train
ing at the first Plattsburg camp, and
he also was one of the first to en-
deavor to arouse the country to the
need of preparation for war. AS
mayor he opposed the Tammsny in
fluence in New York politics and
worked many reforms in the city gov
eminent. He was defeated for re-
election because Tammanv influence
was too strong for the reform forces
split up into political factions.

Sweeping Dry Law is
Agreed On By Senate

Washington, d. c., July S.--Legis-
1ation providing for what amounts to
absolute national liquor prohibition
during the war, was reported to the
Senate to-day after the Agricultural
Com. had agreed to drastic chang
es in the Morris amendment to
the $11, 000, 900 emergency agricultural
appropriation bill by which the sale of
distilled spirits, beer and wine, except
for export, would be prohibited otter
next january 1st, and the manufacture
of beer and wine stopped OTTER Novem-
Der /.
Consideration of the uncontested
committee amendments TO the emer.
gency measure was resumed today
and dry leaders had hoped to reach
the prohibition amendment, but con-
sideration of the telegraph-telephone
resolution prevented.
As originally proposed, the Norris
amendment would have prohibited
the sale of distilled liquors and the
manufacture OF wine except for ex-
port after next June 80, and the man.
ufacture of beer three months after
the agricultural bill became a law.
The sale of wine, however, would not
have been stopped.
Under the amendment as reported
today, the removal of distilled spirits
held in bond would be prohibited after
January l, except under regulations
prescribed by the commissioner of
Internal Revenue, with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury. The
Commissioner also would prescribe
regulations for the sale and distribu-
ton of wine for sacramental, medici-
nal or other nonbeverage purposes.
Action Virtually Unanimous.
The change had been discussed for
a number of days, SO that when the
committee met today action was vir-
tually by unanimous consent without
a record vote.
By fixing a definite date, after
which the sale would be prohibited of
all Intoxicating liquors, members Of
the committee believe that any charge
of discrimination would be avoided.

The angry and abusive outbursts of
the German press that greeted Pres
ident Wilson's appeal to the Mexican
people to Danish suspicion and dis
trust from their feelings toward the
United States give point to the charge
tina Mexico is now the most fertile
field for German propaganda on this
side of the Atlantic. Thus the Essen
Reinisch- Westfalische Zeitung, the
Krupp organ, denounces what it calls
Americas policy of trying to "black.
mail Mexico into hostility toward
Germany, and even the Socialist Ber-
lin Vorwarts remarks that President
Wilson's dealings with small neu-
trails twill be warning to Mexico
against the dangers threatening the
political independence Of country
when its economic dependence enters
as a factor" The Frankfurter lei
tung accuses him Of being at the
same time ''hesitant and uncertain
and arrogant and brutal" Carranza,
it predicts, twill say that Wilson's
apology for the past almost looks like
a warning or menace about future
mistrust Of Washington's idealistic
dictation.S And it says the lack Of
complete cordiality between the two
countries is due in part to the refusal
of the present Mexican government to
allow Americans to exploit Mexico's
riches with American capital, and in
part to Mexico's strict neutrality.

The first week following the action
of the Clergy in calling the nation to
"prayer for victory" at noon every
day, resulted in the great Italian vic
tory over Austria, in which over
100000 of those savages were killed,
wounded or captured. The Supreme
Architect of the Universe will help
us to victory, if we all ask it daily.

Demand for Veterinary Surgeons is
Filled for the Present.

The Army has sufficient veterinar-
ians, Sur. Gen. Gorgas announces.
Examinations for commissions in the
Veterinary Corps have closed. There
is waiting list of those eligible to
commissions, and until this list is ex-
hausted there will be no more exam
nations. The corps has 1,700 officers
and 10000 enlisted men on active du-
ty.
Veterinary graduates called by the
draft will enter the Army service as
privates. Later they will be allowed
to take examinations for veterinary
officer commissions to fill vacancies.
Men over the draft age and under 40
may enlist as privates and secure an
equal chance with selected men Tor
commissions. One hundred men are
graduated each month from the train
ing school for commissioned veterin-

Demand for Labor to Result in Ma
tiOn-Wide Search.

Every community will be comned
for war workers. War industries are
short nearly 100000 common laborers,
and lack of workers in the coal-minirg
industry is imperilling all war pro-
duction. There is also serious short
age of skilled labor. One OF the larg-
est munition plants, turning out heavy
caliber guns, is short 1000 machm-
lists. The war plants Of Connecticut
and Maryland are undermined 49,
900 machinists.
The United States Employment
Service will begin an intensive re-
cruiting of workers for war work
from the non-essential industries.
Employment Offices will be increased
and the force of local agents and
travelling examiners will be enlarged
and sent into every community that
relief may be given before the ban
against private labor recruiting goes
into effect on August /.

New Shell-loading Plant Will Handle
/ $1,000 Shells Day.


Quantity if not capacity shipments
will start soon from a new Govern
ment shell-loading factory in New Jer-
sey, one of four such Government
plants each of which is larger than
any similar plant in the world.
When turning out $4,000 loaded
shells day under full operation the
plant will use 1000 tons of shells and
explosives daily, the products Of
some rs factories. More than 5000
workmen will be required. Plans
contemplate the employment of a
large number of women. The mark
ing of shells to designate size, load
and range will require 100000 opera
tons each day.
The plant has a total area Of APP
proximately $500 acres. More than
100 buildings, with an aggregate floor
space of 100000 square feet, will
provide storage for shells and parts
and for material. A small city, with
heating and lighting plants, water and
sewage systems, hospitals, freight
plant, and restaurants, was built to
house the employees. There is equip
ped to protect the health of those who
work with poisonous gases, and a
school for instruction in the loading
of artillery ammunitions with high
explosives.
The operating plant consists of ID
shell-loading units, each independent
of the other, with equipment for load
ing IL sizes of shells, ranging from
the recently developed 37-millimeter
to 16 inches. On two sizes of shells
the propelling charge also will be
loaded, the shell and cartridge case
being assembled at the plant. All
other shells are assembled in France.
In the construction of sheli-loading
units the problem was far greater
than one of mere building. Immense
fans have been installed to dispose Of
the poisonous fumes from the high
explosives. When unit is in opera
ton the air in the loading room is
changed every few minutes. Spe-
ciaily designed suits will be worn dur
ing work with the explosives.

Ensign Stephen Potter, United
States Naval Reserve Force, killed in
action with German planes April %
last, was the first American naval av-
iator to shoot down and destroy a
German seaplane, according to Nav
al Department statement.
The report states that on March 10.
1918, long-distance reconnaissance of
the German coast was made by large
American flying boats operating from
a British Royal Air Force station.
Ensign Potter was one of two Ameri-
can naval aviators accompanying this
expedition, and Potter was successful
in shooting down a German sea-
plane which attacked the reconnais-
ance formation. A second enemy
seaplane found safety in running
away.
Pottcr's death reflects credit on
his courage. He was killed in fight
with seven enemy single-seaters. He
was second pilot to a British Air
Force Captain, who was with him
when he shot down the German plane
in March. Two British planes had
