ALLIES KEEP THE
 TEUTONS WORRIED
uouse ProhibitiOnists Seek to Force President Wilson to Use His Authority-Caraway Aid inc in Fight.

Washington. May 21.--Prohibition .arocates in the House today won the erst skirmish in a fight to force p.os;dent Wilson to exercise his war lime authority to prohibit the manu- fscture of light wines and beers as well as whiskey. the distilling of which ceased last September under a presidential proclamation. As com m;ttee of the whole, the House adopt od e9 to 5S, an amendment to the food production bill prohibiting the eypendture of any part of the S11,- mn 000 the measure carries until the nresident issues a proclamation pro- hibiting the use of foodstuffs in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors of any form. The amendment offered by Representative Randall of California, prohibitionist, will come to record vote in the House before final pas sage of the bill, and opponents expect to defeat it then.
 Representatives Candler of Missis- spp, Democrat, in charge of the bill, and others vigorously opposed the amendment.
 "You cannot hurry the president into issuing that proclamation by adopting this amendment" MT. Candler said. "I am convinced that the president will issue the proclama- ton whenever he believes it is neces- sary to conserve the supply of food"
 Representative Randall was joined in support of his amendment by Rep resentative Caraway of Arkansas, Democrat and Mondell of Wyoming, Republican.
 With an intensive campaign of spy ing into flour barrels and sugar bowls of every family in America, said MT. Randall, "the wholesale loss of food through the operation of the brew cries nine-tenths of whose product is German-owned and made, becomes a positive scandal"

PLATE REMOVED, CAUSING WRECK
 OF TROOP TRAIN
National Enemy Blamed for Ac- cident Near Texarkana-One Soldier Missing and 12 Are Injured, Five Seriously.

Texarkana, May 21.-A troop train over the Cotton Belt, which left here at 8 o'clock this morning, was wreck ed one hour later near Garland City, 20 miles north of here. Engineer A.. J. MeAlister was instantly killed and Fireman S. G. Counts was badly scalded, perhaps fatally. Both lived at Pine Bluff. Lieut.. J. R. Garrity, who was in command of the train, and IS other soldiers were injured.
 Cotton Belt officials here say the wreck was due to the removal of fish plate bolts, allowing the rails to spread. One soldier still is missing, five were seriously injured and seven slightly injured.
 One car, which contained the miss ing soldier, went over a trestle into 15 feet of water. The engine, bag gage car and two coaches were over turned, but did not go over the trestle.
 The soldiers on the train belonged to the 619th Aerial Squadron.
 The injured were brought here and placed in the Cotton Belt hospital, where it was said tonight that all were resting we'll, and that, with the exception of Lieutenant Garrity and Fireman Counts, all were practically certain to recover.
 The last two are hurt internally, and it will be day or two before the extent of their injuries is determined One soldier is missing and it is feared he is buried underneath the wreckage of the train, which has not yet been cleared.
 A relief train went out from here carrying physicians and rendered prompt aid. It is believed, however, that but for the fact that a Medical Corps was with the troop train, which rendered immediate succor, several fatalities would have resulted. Red Cross chapters of Texarkana, Lewis vile and Garland City also were quick to give relief.
