AMERICA HAS BEEN GROP|NG IN DARK SAYS CHAMBERLAIN Oregon Senator Argues Why His War Cabinet Bill Should Be Passed
 by Congress

New York, January 19.-Senator George F. Chamberlain of Oregon. speaking before the Republican club here today, said that on Monday next the Senate committee on military af- fairs, of which he is chairman, would make a favorable report on the bill for the creation of a military cabinet to speed up war production.
 America for 10 months has been groping in the dark" Senator Cham berlain declared in his address I've have had able heads, but no respon- sible head, and it is our purpose to supply responsible head
 There would have been no need Of this coal trouble if plan of CO., ordination had been mapped out six months ago. Coal production was sat- isfactory when one branch fixed a sa satisfactory price. When this was re- duced to a nonproductive figure a minimum comparative yield resulted.
 Our distinguished President is the premier of all the statesmen of the world, but neither President Wilson nor any other man can concentrate the energies of the nation. There must be responsible heads under the Pres ident in order to see America safe- 1y through the war.

OTHERS ARE CAUTIOUS

Another militant force which is pro- ceeding in support of the Presidents rail- road legislation with extreme care is that winch cries for government ownership. This school insists that it would he treachery on the part of the administra- ton to force the government to rehabii- tate the railroads of the country by lend ing at an exceedingly low rate of interest the money of the people, and then. at the expiration of the war. to turn back properties thus reha bilitated to former owners licensed to deal with the people in such manner that handsome returns on investments are made certain.
 Stli another force which would be more specifically informed before acting is that standing determinedly against government ownership. This opposition would be made positive that at the ex- pii ation of the war the government will restore the railroads to their former own CTS The President expressed the opin- lon that government supervision should be exercised until Congress otherwise dccreed. The members opposed to gov erument ownership want 1t specifically stated in law that government supervi- sion will not be exercised longer than the duration of the war

amendment candidate for governor Reports in Montgomery this week in- dicated that the Birmingham meeting would be genuine love feast which would cement all prohibitionists of the national prohibition variety into one great fighting machine It is so se- cret, even among prohibitionists. that there have been differences in the ranks during the past year and that many were dissatisfied. but indica. tions are that all disputes have been adjusted and that those who favor the amendment will cast aside all jealousies as well as thoughts of per sonal interest and go into the fight.
 ANOTHER DRY ADVANTAGE
 Those favoring the amendment have one great advantage over those op- posed to it-they have only one cam didate for governor and all are back ing him, while those against the amendment appear to be dividing their support between three men, MT. Wallace, William w. Brandon and Charles B. Teasley. But ask any anti amendist and he will say that before the campaign has started in earnest those opposed to the amendment will be behind one candidate, This thought will prompt many supporters of MT. Wallace to come to Montgomery for the conference Tuesday, believing that the early man will have great ad- vantage in any peace conference called for the purpose of settling all differ ences over the claims to leadership.
 NEW CANDIDATES
 Two candidates ventured forth into the campaign this week. one being George w. Ellis, chief clerk of the treasury department. who seeks to 1top I o,f1 treasurer, and the other M. B. Grace, who would sit in Congress from the Ninth district as the successor of George Huddleston.
 Several other announcements may be expected during the next few days Judge John Purifoy has not entered any contest, but will do so when he believes the proper time has come. Great discussion during the week in- dicated that James A. Wade, state commissioner of agriculture, would be d candidate for Secretary of eta te

Victory in 1918 Would Mean Another Contest Four
 Years Hence
PROS ARE UNITED ON
 GOVERNORSHIP RACE
Anti-Amendists Are Divided on Cam didates-Both factions in Ala bama Making Preparations
 for Herculean Effort
By FRED II. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, January 19.-(Special) While both factions in the state po- litical campaign continued their her culean efforts to organize their forces and enter the field in opposition to or in support of the federal prohibition amendment, the realization became stronger among anti-amendists this week that even If they succeed in preventing the ratification of the amendment at the session of the legis- 1ature which will begin next January, the fight will not be ended and that those favoring the amendment will have another opportunity four years later of putting Alabama in the list of states which favor national pro- hihition.
 The federal enactment submitting the amendment to the states provides that the amendment must be ratified within seven years by the required number of states. In January, 1919, or a little more than one veal after the submission of the amendment, Ala bama's legislature may speak on the subject. But if the vote is not favor able to the ratification of the amend ment another legislature four years later may favor it. The legislature may vote regularly upon the question un- til the end of seven years. This is the view of Montgomery attorneys. Few agree on the question of whether or not a legislature in 1923 could undo the ratification of the amendment in 1919, but majority seem to agree that when once ratified by Alabama's leg islature there could be no back-step- ping.
 TWO CHANGES FOR "DRYS"
 So the national prohibitionists are aS..s into the fight with the knowl- edge that even if they fail next year they will have another chance, while those who profess to favor the keep ing of the issue within the states realize that even if they win a tenn porary victory in 1919 they must con- tinue their fight until the legislature of 1923 has favored their cause.
 Actions of the legislatures of cer- tain other states this week have been stunning blows to those opposed to the amendment. Who would have thought Kentucky would ratjfy the amendment? Anti-amendists did not think so,. nor did many prohibition ists, but the Kentucky legislature voted overwhelmingly in favor of rati- fication. Mississippi caused little sur

prise, but yirginia's action was not expected.
 But Kentucky is now looked upon as a black sheep. With it's long rec ord for fine liquors and bloated col onels whose daily vocation and avoca- tion seemed to be the drinking of mint juleps. it was thought Kentucky would desire to keep liquor legislation con cerning itself within it's own boun- daries so it's own people might say when another bung should be pulled out of the bung hole.
 Those opposed to the amendment hold up Mississippi, Virginia and Ken lucky as shining examples of what might happen to Alabama if an cleo tion were not to be held prior to the next meeting of the legislature. They thank the stars that there is no way to get the present legislature into session except by call of the gover- nor and that the governor will not is- sue call for such purpose as the ratification, of the amendment. It is contended by them that legislatures which have already ratified the amendment did not speak for their people because the amendment has not been an issue and the legislatures had no. instructions from the voters on the subject A~

down-rot only physically but fnan- ciaily. Various banks, especially in the New England territory, faced the prob- ability of liquidation. With deposits, which, compared to capital. were enor- nous, invested in prime railroad se- curities, they felt a 20 per cent de- terioration incident to the act of spec ulators in disposing of railroad bonds for the purpose of investing their money in nontaxable liberty bonds. Twenty per cent deterioration in the value of holdings, representing de- posits, threatened to wipe out capital and thus cause bankers panic.
 The action of the government in ac quiring railroad properties and guar anteeing adequate returns on invest ments saved many banks with de- ppsits thus invested and at the same time caused buoyant conditions on tho stock m a rl<pt

MADE-IN- GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED in CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
miniStratiOn.
The stories bOthering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this cOun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
'They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
"It lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"
