The Germans getting all mixed up
In Russia.
They further they 60 the worse
They will be mixed up
And thinred out and homesick.
If the whole German army
Were sent into Russia.
There would be only ono man
To every square mile.
And then the western front
Could get up and move east
About 200 miles.
And 1t all would be over.
That may be all wrong
From a tactical standpoint,
But it sounds good.
Personally I couldn't wish
Old Bloodshot Bill
Any more trouble than he
Is going to have in Russia
In about three months.
Russia may win the war for the
allies yet.
Expert says the food substitutes in
Germany taste and smell like the real
thing. but haven't the food value.
Don't yon believe it. No substitute
on earth could taste and smell like
limburger cheese or sauerkraut.
Now Trotzky Is raising an army to
fight the Germans.
The Kaiser Is welcome to all the

PROS AND CONS
 0F PROHIBITION
Hurley of Shipping Board, Bur- leson and G0mpers Strongly Oppose It-Secretary Daniels in Favor of It.

Washington, June 25.-National prohibition as war measure was at tackled and defended by government officials today before the Senate Agri- culture committee, which had reopen ed hearings on the Jones prohibition amendment to the $11 100000 emer- gency appropriation bill to further develop the views of officials on the question.
 The hearings were concluded late today and Chairman Gore announced the committee will meet Thursday to vote on the amendment.
 Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the Shipping Board, Post master General Burleson and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, united in oppo- sition to the proposed legislation be- cause of its probable effect on work ing men, while Secretary Daniels, E. c. Dinwiddie, representing the Anti Saloon League of America, and a number of business men urged it's en- actment, declaring that with prohibit ton has gone increased efficiency on the part of labor.
 Chairman Hurley declared this is no time to conduct unnecessary ex- periments, for, if the nation is to wiring victory from the Huns it will have to fight hard and with all its resources. He said he believed more risk would be involved in taking beer from the American workingman than would be in the conscription of labor because it would result in a partial interference with liberty without any increase of control"
 "We've got to put all the smash and drive we've got into this war declared Mir. Hurley. "We've got to fight, fight and still fight with every muscle srtaining and put aside non- essential experimenting if we are to wiring victory from the Huns"

20 ID 40 YEARS MAY BE ADOPTED
 AS DRAFT AGES
Congress Undoubtedly Will Make Some Change in Age Limit-July Call Virtually Exhausts Class One.

Washington, June 25.-Extension of the draft ages above and below the existing limits-21 to 31 years-was discussed at length in the senate to- day during consideration of an amend ment by Senator Fall, of New Mex ico. to the $12,OO0, 100000 army ap- propriation bill, to substitute IS years as the minimum and 45 years as the maximum. The senator revised the amendment, making the ages 20 to 40, and eliminating a provision that youths under 21 should not be called into active military service.
 Disposal of the amendment and a substitute by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska went over until tomorrow with sentiment in the senate appar- ently evenly divided.
 The Fall amendment was vigorous ly supported by Senator Reed, of Missouri, and others. Opposition was voiced by Senators McKellar of Ten nessee and Kirby of Arkansas, all democratic members of the military committee, while several other sena- tors declared they favored raising the maximum draft age but opposed low ering the minimum.
 Senator Hitchcock's substitute amendment fixes the age limits at 20 and 40, respectively, and provides citizens of the allied countries resi- dent in the United States shall be subject to draft and that nationals of neutral countries who claim exemp- ton shall be barred from American citizenship.
 Imperative and immediate necess- ity for an increase of Americas man. powr in the war was the principal argument of those favoring the amend ment, while opponents based their ob- jections principally upon the conten- tion that there are sufficient men now available to meet the war depart ment's program and that neither the president nor the departnent has asked or approved the proposed ex- tension of the law.
 It was freely predicted class one would soon be exhausted and that un- less the age limits are raised there will be disruption of industry with consequent effect upon the war pro- gram.

MILITARY LIFE NO BAR
 TO HOLDING CIVIL OFFICE

Little Rock, June 26.-In answer to inquiries, Attorney General Arbuckle constructing the constitution relative to holding civil and military offices, says:
 ''It was not intended that the hold ing of a military office should be a bar to the holding of any civil office under the constitution. This, being plainly set out in the constitution and the constitution being silent upon the fact of man being inducted into military life being bar to holding civil office, t seems to be clearly indi- cated and is perfectly plain that the mere fact of man being engaged in military life of any character, wheth- CT as officer or private, shall not be a bar to is holding any civil office. "The period of the war may be long or it may be short, and we can see at once how it might be a serious injustice to the person entering mili- tary life should he be thoroughly dis qualified from holding civil office to which he had been elected by the people, at the close of a trying and expensive campaign, if few months after surrendering such office the war should come to an end.
 "Of course, if a competent and eff ficient office force is not maintained and the duties of the office properly discharged, then the people would have their remedy in the courts of the state.

ITALY CONTROLS ALL WEST BANK
 OF PAVE RIVER
High Water, However, is Pre- venting Pursuit of Fleeing Austrians - Italy Won By Quick Action.

Rome, June 25.-The west bank of the Piave river has been entirely cleared of Austrian forces and now is in possession of the Italians from the Montello plateau to the sea. The Italian forces are still harrassing the fleeing Austrians but the high water in the river prevents the crossing of Italian forces in large numbers, ren- dering impossible a quick pursuit of the Austrians, with the result that probably they will be given an oppor- tunity to bring up reserves and strengthen their position on the east bank of the river.
 General Diaz, the Italian com mander, announces that the fighting now is of local character.
 CT hsturAiYetaoihrdluetaoietaoin
 The Austrian losses are estimated at 100000 men. Some divisions have been practically put out of action.
 Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, June 24.-Italy's vic- tory has been one of science over blind courage. The Italians from the start had more artillery against them, but their fire was always accurate and quick, while the Austrian fire was diffused. The Italian infantry at times opposed by five times their number, yet the Austrian troops were driven back, notwithstanding their splendid courage, which the Italian commander in chief, General Diaz, has called unfortunate valor."
 The secret of the Italian victory seems to lie in immediate counter at- Jacks which were carried out wher- ever the enemy showed himself, local counter attacks being followed by counter offensives all along the line Thus, the enemy was never given any rest and was never allowed to re- plenish his supply of troops.
 The general feeling at headquar- ters is that, although the victory has been great, there are yet harder days ahead of the defending forces.
 "If we only had American troops with us now we would do still better work" was the remark heard by the correspondent on all sides today.
