PRESIDENT TO
 INFORM HOUSE
 ABOUT LIQUOR

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22.- The attitude cf the house on na- tional prohibition was sounded to- day in the form of a resolution pre- sented by Representative Randall. a California prohibitionist. The reso- lution called for the President to inform the house whether any order had been issued by the fuel admins tration curtailing the supply of coal to the liquor manufacturers. The resolution was adopted by an over- whelming majority, the count being 204 to 47.
 The present investigation of the liquor question was brought about by rider in the agricultural ap- propriation bill which prohibited the use of alcoholic beverages. Bain- bridge Colby of the shipping board went before the senate committee with strong protest, saying that 1t would cut down the output of the shipbuilding plants by about 25 per cent. The matter is now under in vestigatiOn.

LARGE NUMBER
 OF NEW SHIPS
 LAUNCHED SOON

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22.- On July fourth of the present year the largest number of ships ever launched in single day will be sent into the water. Eighty-nine ships will be turned out from the American yards on that day. These vessels will have total tonnage of 439,886 dead weight This exceeds by 42,050 tons the total launching of any year previous to the war. The greatest shipbuilding year pre- vious to the war was 1901.
 Of the large number of ships to be launched the western coast will have its full quota. The Pacific coast yards will launch 2S wooden s,d 17 steel ships. It is thought that this will be the most appropri- ate way to celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

GERMANS MAY
 TAKE CLOTHES
 FROM THE DEAD

LONDON, June 22--A we'll sub. stantiated report comes saying that clothing in Germany is as scarce as food. Recently an agitation has been on concerning means to meet this condition. Among the various remedies which have been offered is that of a Berlin lawyer proposing the enactment of law which will make it compulsory for the heirs of the dead to turn over to the state all clothing which is left by de ceased persons.
 For long time wood products have been used to substitute for some articles of clothing, but they will not take the place of many articles and even the wood is run. ming scarce. It is reported that ev- erything possible is being done to save garments.

MANY OF SUBS
 SENT DOWN BY
 PATROL FLEET

PARIS, June 22.-The German sub marine building can nowhere keep pace with the destruction by the allied patrol fleet. The under-secre- tary of the French navy told the house of deputies that two-thirds of the German submarines which have so far been launched have been sent down. The announcement was greeted with wild enthusiasm. The under-secretary also made the an nouncement that the allies were sinking the submarines just twice as fast as they were being built The patrol fleets have increased much in their efficiency, especially since America entered the war. With calm water there is now very little danger of sinking from torpedOes by the undersea craft.

MANY MORE OF THE AMERICANS
 NOW FIGHTING

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22.- Conclusive evidence is now at hand to show that many more of the Americans are now fighting at the front. A casualty list of 153 has been posted. Of this list 52 have been killed in action. among them four officers. It is the heaviest roll yet issued. The participation of the Americans has been steadily increasing.
 A comparison of the American activities with those of the British can be made by looking at the casualty lists. The British list is sued last week numbered over 3O,OOO Even though the Americans may be better able to protect themselves, it is claimed that these lists show that they have not as yet been able to use their power.

WAR PROGRAM
 FAR AHEAD OF
 ITS SCHEDULE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22.- General March in an interview to- day told newspaper correspondents that there are 900,000 men of the United States army overseas at the present time. He stated that the government Is at least five months ahead of the program that was mapped out for this year. The stu pendous task of placing the army in France is progressing much better than was expected. In the light of the statement made by the general last week, when he said that there were then over 800,O00 men over seas, the announcement of today of 100000 more men shows the rate of progress which is being made in transporting the army to Europe. In reviewing the general battle situa- tion he stated that, while every thing looked good now, the present Hull in the fighting on the western front indicates that the Germans are preparing for another huge drive. He views the whole situation, in cluding the Italian front. as very favorable to the allies, saying that the central powers are being held and repulsed on all fronts.

AERO CLUB TO OFFER HELP IN
 TRIAL FLIGHTS

NEW YORK, June 22-John D. Ryan, director of the aircraft pro- duction board, has been notified by the officials of the Aero Club of America that that organization will assume the expenses of a trial fligh, across the Atlantic. The airplanes are very bulky and the transporta- tion even in knock-down style is very difficult with the scarcity of shipping facilities. The government is endeavoring to solve the problem, and it has been suggested that the planes be taken across by flying. This is looked upon with favor by many who are in authority, and they are anxious to have the trial made. =.
