WILL MAKE EFFORTS
TO SHELVE DRY BILL
Attempts to Prevent Measure Leav.
ing Committee Expected.

Desperate attempts will be made
today to keep prohibition amend
ments from getting out of the Sen
ate Agricultural Committee and
thus reaching the floor OF the SEN
ate. When the food stimulation
bill. upon which the prohibition
amendments hinge, is taken up by
the committee, an effort will be made
TO pigeon-hole the entire bill and
keep ii in the committee. In this
way the prohibition question could
not reach the Senate itself
The President has taken the po-
sition that he strongly disfavors
consideration of prohibition as an
amendment to an appropriation bill.
He desires 1t fought as a straight
out issue. This will weigh heavily
with Senators Inclined toward the
administration. The argument may
be used that there is not enough
need for the passage Of the food
stimulation bill at this time to war
rant carrying ii to the floor, and
thus stand the chance of the prohi-
bition amendments being success
full.
II the argument is not success
full in the committee, then the at
tempt to pigeon-hole the entire bill
will be made. II that attack fails,
and the bill with the amendments
attached does reach the floor, once
more the parliamentary question of
the right OF such a rider" TO the
bill will be brought up.

U.S TO FORM
WAR HOUSING
CORPORATIONS
Holding Companies Plan
ned to Avoid Legal
Tangles.

Holding companies will probably be
the solution Of the government in
regard to the properties to be built
in the District OF Columbia for the
war workers.
These companies formed by corpo-
rations will be created for the pur-
pose OF doing away with the thou
sand and one legal question which
would arise in the ordinary course
Of business. should the government
endeavor to manage the properties
otherwise. It win also make unneces-
sary the small army Of lawyers who
would be required to settle +he legal
points involved, should the other
method of procedure be adopted.
The holding companies might be II
the form OF ordinary corporations. o..
In the form of trusteeships, but
probably the first form will be Rdopi
ed. according to authorities OF the
Department of Labor.
One house or residence for girls
will be erected. probably at Twenty
third or Twenty-fourth streets north
west, near the War Industries Board
\ second will surely be erected on the
Union Station Plaza. and others
throughout the city.
The Y. NJ. c. A. will erect n dor
mitory for $50 men at Eighteenth and
G streets northwest. and the Y. w.
c. A. a home for transient guests on
the Union Station Plaza. All these
projects will have the backing Of the
government, through Secretary Will

Camp Pleasant and Camp Goodwill.
the fresh air camps for kiddies, re-
ceived large patches of youngsters
yesterday. The weather failed to have
a deterring effect and the crowd

in previous years.
Soon the Baby. Hospital Camp will
be opened In Rock Creek Park. There
only sick babies will be received.
In many cases. the mothers will ac-
company their babies, especially
mothers of the nursing babies. For
the first time. perhaps. in a weary
stretch of time. the mothers will be
able TO eat meals they did not pre-
pare themselves. They will be taught
how to care for their babies.
"A few months or weeks in a camp.
in which scientific care Is taken OF
tho babies. does not help the
babies much. unless the treatment
is continued in their homes. For
that reason. We are encourag-
ing mothers to accompany their
babies" said Miss Bell. Of the

u. 5. TO BREAK
HUN POSTWAR
POWER In ITALY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

CONTlNCED FROM PAGE ONE
the change of sentiment towards the
United States was due almost entire
ly to the magnificent services Of the
American Red Cross.
Officers and the people alike are
urging that the United States send
troops to Italy. They look upon this,
not only as a final proof of Ameri-
cans friendship and a means of fur
thering the unity Of the allied forces.
but as a needed reinforcement by
troops for whose ability as fighters
they have the profoundest respect.
After War Work vital.
But it Is not merely for aid while
the war is going on that Italy is look
ing to America. Germany. through the
years Of the Triple Alliance has
spread her economic roots throughout
the whole Industrial and commercial
of Italy. to such an extent that, de-
spite the three years of hostility and
the efforts that have been put for
ward to tear out these roots. many of
them still remain.
When it comes to the period OF
rehabilitation after the war, Italy
hopes that the United States will
bdhc the pIdCe OI SeFnany IN hef
Industrial, commercial and financial
life. Her great needs from this
country is raw materials. Business
men in Italy with whom talked
predicted that, unless the United
states did come to the rescue in
this way. after the war, the re-
naming roots of the Teutonic
economic penetration would revive
and there would be a reaction which
would tend once more to put Italy
under the economic thraldom of the
Central Powers. which she has
been working so hard to throw of
italians look upon Americans as
magicians. They believe we can
accomplish anything that we set out
to do. 1t is therefore to us more
than to any one nation that they
are now looking for future relations
Of friendship that will help place
Italy firmly on her fet in the com
munity OF nations"

MAURICE BARRES SAYS
VICTORY NOW ASSURED
French Academician's Confidence
Due to U. S. Participation.
By MAURICE RARREs.

Noted French journalist, member Of the Cham
Der Of Deputies and Of the French Academy
Written for the international News Service.
Paris. June 26.-When America S
new army and her wonderful material
resources are hurled against the Ger
mans, victory is certain. Although
the German military machine is
admirable in some respects. the Ger
man army is decimated and worn out.
Germany says her infantry is su-
perior to the unframed Americans,
but what We have heard from NJ
Tardieu (Frenth high commissioner
to the United States) and what we
have seen at cantigny confirms the
splendid fighting qualities OF the
Americans.
One of the most difficult maneuvers
in warfare. that of attacking in con-
junction with tanks. was brilliantly
and VIGOROUSLY carried out by the
Americans. These are the reasons
for our confidence in the issue Of the
conflict.

Cannot Get Help Vow.
Time is a precious thing. / came
from the Bureau of Printing TO this
department when IL was organized
! because OF the extra hour Il meant TO
me-" Mr.. Gompers has been an en-
ploye in The government for thirty
one years.
In the Civil Service Bureau il was
ascertained yesterday that employees
such as stenographers. draughtsmen.
and bookkeepers are obtained only
with the greatest difficulty. and with
the aid OF patriotic drives" What
the situation will be with the more
difficult conditions no one can as
suredly predict, but it certainly does
not mean a lessening Of the stress.
Observers of the spirit among the
government clerks in this citv have
officially reported that working con-
ditions in Washington where all sorts
OF buildings are now used by the gov
ernment are anything but satisfac-
tory ad not to be compared with the
surroundings in large mercantile con-
Germs in the country.
Some of these buildings cannot he
| nalf heated in winter, and in sum
mer they are sitting from lack OF
proper ventilation. Rest rooms for
sick women are not available except
in a few departments.
The result is that clerks who come
here under alluring promises are e
signing by thousands and returning
| TO private employment Such en-
ployes are now easily competing with
the government in salaries paid.
These clerks also came to Washing
ton with the distinct idea that tho
working day was seven hours.
From an executive point OF view
this new bill threatens serious in
terruption to efforts to bring en-
ployes here and hold them here.
The Federation of Labor in its
annual convention just closed.
strongly opposed the BorIand
scheme and its resolution on the
subject will go to the White House
along with Mr.. Gompers' ideas as to
the harm that may be worked in
other directions.
A big mass meeting will be held
in Masonic Temple. New York ave
nue. and Thirteenth street north
west, next Sunday afternoon at 5
o'clock. Miss Jeanette Rankin will
be one of the speakers.
The outlook in the present cri-
sis is the more discouraging to the
$4,000 government clerks when it Is
realized that salaries for clerks have
remained the same from 1857 to
1916. and that the five and ten per
cent increase granted them is now
taken away. For only about a
fourth of the employees will get the
$40 under the present plan.

FINNS ARE TO
SEIZE LANDS
OF RUSSIANS
Bolshevikii Causing Gradual
Dismemberment of For
mer Empire.

Stockholm. June 26.-Troubles are
piling up for the Russian Bolsheviki.
Gradually slices of their territory
are being taken away from them.
Germans, Firms, Siberians, Cossacks.
Czecho-Slovaks. Ukrainians. Aus
trians-all are grabbing for pieces OF
what was once the great Russian EN-
pire. :.
The Bolsheviki have almost as
many enemies as Kaiser Wilhelm.
How long they will be able to hold
out under this pressure from the out
side, with their own subjects con-
stantly threatening to overthrow them
in the interior. is problematical.
Berlin to Blame.
OF course the Teutonic hand of Ber-
lin is discenible in most OF the
them, In fact. except those caused by
the Czecho-Slovaks in siberia.
The most menacing situation Just
now is In Karelia, the northernmost
province OF Russia, which cuts the
Arctic circle and adjoins Finland.
The Finnish government, inspired
~ Germany. Is casting longing eyes
toward this district and, in fact, has
as much as announced that It plans
TO annex 1t. There are many Firms In
Karelia who are said to be in favor
of being Joined with their father
land.
The Finnish minister in Petrograd
has been called to Helsingfors to dis
Cuss the subject of treating diplomat
ically with the Bolsheviki government
on the question. But IL Finland can't
get Karelia peacefully, 1t seems likely
II will take it anyway.
Allies May Speak.
The Firms claim that annexation
is necessary to save the district
from the terrorization it has been
subjected to by Bolshevist bands
which have even invaded Finland
and fought with Finnish soldiers.
The principal Importance of Kare-
liza to the allies is that the Muir
man railroad traverses 1t from Pc
trograd to KolA bay, on the Arctic
Ocean. II the allies take Russia
this road becomes of vital i'm
pOrtance. Therefore England, Amer
ica and France may have something

In the southern part Of Russia
revolution is rife The revolt of
the COssacks against the Bolsheviki
is gaining momentum, and the Co.'S
sacks are pushing the boundaries
