WILSON DELAYS A
BONE-DRY NATION
FORCES EXTENSION THAT DEAL
ERS MAY SELL STOCKS. AL
so WANTS THE REVENUE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ma
ton will not become "bone dry I'M
til July 1919, at the earliest even in
the event of the passage of the war
time prohibition measure now pend
ing in congress.
The prohibition forces in the SEN
ate today agreed to amend the pro-
hibition rider to the food production
bill, which is scheduled to come up
for debate in the upper branch of
congress as soon as the man-power
bill has been disposed of, so as to
permit the sale of WHISTLES and other
distilled spirits until July /, instead
OF prohibiting their sale after Jan
uary 1, as the amendment originally
provided.
The agreement of the prohibition
lists was obtained under pressure from
the white house. The president in
sisted upon an extension of time so
the stocks could be disposed of, and
the government obtain the revenue
from the sales.
Ihere are approximately $50, 000,-
600 gallons of whisky in bond, and
under the new revenue bill more than
$1,000,000,000 would be derived
from taxes on liquors during the
coming year. The present fiscal year
ends June 80, and the extension of
time for selling the liquors until then
would turn several hundred million
dollars of badly needed revenue into
the treasury.
President Wilson, it is understood,
has given the prohibitionists no en-
couragement in their fight for ma
tion-wide prohibition as a war neces-
sity. He is understood to favor a
further extension of time for the
liquor traffic until January 1, 1920.
Measure Passes Senate.
The senate has passed the rider to
the emergency food production bill,
making the country bone dry, begin
ming July l, 1919.
The rider provides that the manu-
facture of wine and beer shall cease
May 1, 1919.

THE ATLANTA PAPERS

Conditions Confronting Publishers.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Following the or
der of the war industries board of
the United States that steps be taken
to protect and carry forward the
newspaper industries of the country,
the price of Atlanta papers will be
raised to meet then ew war condi-
tons confronting them.
The cost of newspaper has advanc-
ed and is mounting skyward, and
many newspapers in the country have
been compelled to suspend because of
their inability to cope with the sit
uation resulting from the war in
creases. The price of paper has gone
up from rs to 100 per cent; postage
rates have been increased; freight
rates have been increased Is per
cent; and in most of the other cities
subscription prices have been raised
already.
The daily papers will cost 5 cents
instead of 8 cents; and the Sunday
papers z cents instead of 5, while
weekly and annual rates have also
been raised in proportion.

WAR BILLS OF AUGUST TOTAL
One AND A HALF BILLION
Conflict Is Now Costing the United
States 100000 an Hour-Is
$15,7OO,OOO,OO0 to Date.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-War bills
this month will approximate $780,
000,O00-nearly twice the amount
$3.50, O,00O-expended during Aug
ust a year ago.
Thus the war toll is now running
about $52,OOO,OOO a day, or over
100000 an hour-a slight increase
over July.
Augustus figures bring the total
cost to America of the war to date
to over $15,700,000,00O, and the
cost since January i, this year, to
over $10,500,000,000.
If Augustus approximation proves
finally accurate this was the most
expensive war month since America
got into the struggle, the next larg-
est being June, when $1,512,000,000
was poured into the war NAV. And
the same figures show that the cost
today is just double that of a year
ago.

Many Elections. How Socialism Is
Fostered Under Its Protecting
Care. How Converts Are Made.
One of the boldest political
schemes ever developed in this coun-
trv is that which sprang from the
mind of A. C. Townley, and which is
the basis of the National Non-parti-
san League, of which Townley is the
head. Himself a socialist, imbued
with the theories of Karl Marx and
Liebnecht about government, Town
ley has used both the republican and
democratic parties to put those theo-
ries into operation.
Strictly speaking the non-partisan
league is not a political party. Its
organization combines features of
the older republican and democratic
and the newer socialist party, but the
league itself does not nominate can
didates in convention or at the pri-
mary, but endorses those candidates
of the regular established political
parties who subscribe to it's program.
Farmers Control 1t.
In North Dakota, where the nom
partisan league was originally form
ed, it is composed almost entirely of
farmers, who constitute 83 per cent.
of the electors Of that state but who
previously had never had any con-
troll over its political machinery.
The candidates for state offices and
the legislature endorsed by the
league in North Dakota in 1916 were
for the most part republicans, be-
cause in that state the G. o. P. was
the predominant party. These candi-
dates were nominated at the prima-
ries by the vote of the members of
the non-partisan league against the
opposition of the regular party lead
ers.
The success of the league in North
Dakota in electing its candidates led
to a call from the farmers in sur
rounding states for similar organiza-
tons in order that they, too, might
secure legislators and governors who

Germany is now showing whiteness.
The old Hindenburg line was the
line on which it was believed the Ger

in case they had to retire that far.
IT was the line from which they set

at Lens and at Queant, and it is
threatened north and south by an adj

The Allies made desperate efforts to
capture Lens last year, but the Ger

that Hindenburg determined to hold
