PROHIBITION AND THE WAR

We believe that there are, a great
many people in this town who do not
understand the federal amendment
which the "drys'''. are seeking to have
the next legislature ratify, therefore
the following, taken from the New
Haven Journal-Courier and written
by a man who does not approve of
the use of alcoholic liquors, may be
eznligftening:
The resolution which passed both
houses of the national congress, pro-
viding for the amendment of the
federal constitution expressly provides
two things. In the first place, it gives
the sta ties of the union seven years
from the time of it's passage by the
congress in which to ratify it. In the
second place, it provides for the en-
actment of concurrent legislation to
put the amendment(in force. That
means that congress must first de-
teTn1ine the necessary legislation of
enforcement and then the forty-eight
states of the union must find it suit
able to their needs and accept it.
Failure of any one state to enact con-
current legislation breaks the chain
of nation wide prohibition and in
definitely postpones it.
Wholly aside from the fact that
the war is being won without the
aid of prohibition, while the young
men in various camps are being saved
from the deadly effects of influenza
by the suspension of the executive
orders regarding the use of alcoholic
stimulants, not only will peace have
settled upon the earth, but most of
the damage done by the war will have
been repaired by the time the battle
for prohibition is won.
Should tn war be won by Christ
mas, the one Argument that gained
for the cause hearing will complete
~, disappear. That is the reason why
there is no connection between win
ming the world war and winning the
war against the demon rum.

TURNS COLD SHOULDER
discussing World Peace Court Now
Can Serve No Good End.

Washington. March 22.-The gov
eminent, tho favoring a league to en-
force peace, is cold toward discussion
of the proposal at this time.
This was authoritatively stated to-
day in the wake of talk about the plan
both in the house of lords and in the
United States senate. 1t was pointed
out that the discussion now would
serve no good purpose in view of the
fact that the chance for organizing
such a league now appears remote.
Discussion now would tend toward
useless peace talk, it was explained,
and the government is anxious that all
American thought should be conferred
on the single task of winning the war.
The government is now convinced
that no peace is possible by negotia-
ton with the ruthless looters of Rus
STA and Rumania, and thinks that I'M
til Teuton militarism has been given
death blow a league to enforce peace
is only a theory. The best way to
make a basis for such a league is not
by talk now but by war actions, Off
Gals say.

HERE'S THE BIG IDEA

This war is your war. Uncle Sam's voice is just your voice multiplied a hundred million times. His active operations on land and sea are his answer and yours to the doctrine of force-the barbaric doctrine that might is right"
 Plainly, we must win this war or go under. We must use all the re- sources of the country to win. We need all the men and machinery of war we can transport to the western front. We must conquer the Hun there or he will subdue us here.
 Get the big idea! It's freedom or slavery. Freedom for ourselves and our children for generations-or slavery under the Hun.
 Perhaps you can do little. All rght! But-do the little you can. Be thrifty! Save the dimes, quarters and half dollars you allow to slip through your fingers, and-invest in War Savings Stamps.

LONDON, June 26.-"Trench mouth" is one of the war diseases which is engaging the attention of British army doctors. Cases of the disease have been for some time under observa- tion and treatment in both the Brit ish and French armies. It appeared first in the German army, where ex. perts attributed it for long time to their war bread. Later observers thought it arose from a prolonged diet of canned food

He believes that the restrictions on paper are too drastic. The newspapers, he argues, play such an important part in the conduct of the war that they should be treated more literally by the gov ernment.

USE OF NATIVE FRUITS

In most families fruit is thought of as an extra bit taken often between meals, usually to alleviate a thirst or simply because it tastes good. The latter fact reveals much in that it signifies that the system craves the acids, sugars and other constituents of fruit A study of available fig ures shows that fruits constitute a by no means unimpOrtant part of the diet since they supply about A per cent of the total food and 37 per cent of the total carbohydrates of the aver age American diet. Fruits and ber- Tles together with green vegetables supply the body also with minerals it needs and with bulk, which is an es- sential factor in diet. Containing but little protein, fruits, fresh, dried and preserved are then the sources of en- ergy, rather than tissue builders.
 At first thought, it seems to many of us that the berries around here are scarcely worth bothering about. We pick a few salmon berries with no further thought than eating them at once. But, as a matter of fact, we have berries in plenty right around here, to fill completely our jelly glasses and jam pots. The blue ber- rics picked green or when they are just below a dead ripening make a jelly ot delightful flavor or may be canned by just heating them through we'll and sealed. Many have failed in putting these up because the fruit has been cooked too long and has then turned out mostly juice with a few shriveled berries. They are very wei, come then in gclatine desserts, pies, and blue berry bettys. Then there is the often despised high bush cran- berry that grows in almost every swampy spot around here. When picked before they are ripe and mixed with apple juice these barries make as good meat jelly as entrants or gooseberries. Salmonberries, the vel low or the red, also make delicious jelly Then there is wild goose berry, sometimes called wild currant very dark, with little spines on it that also is good. Alaska is famous for her wild strawberries, and for tunate indeed is the woman who car get some of them to put up. They are small, but wonderfully sweet Then there is the Nagoon berry, whict some consider superior to the straw berry in flavor. It makes good sauce and preserves, and jelly with { piquant flavor that can not be dupli cated. In August or September thes' berries are best, and often find theil way into the stores.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-06-26

Now we have not all access to these fruits; some of us can not get out to gather them. But to those who can "Pick all you can get for your self and then get some for your neigh bor who can not go" We must work together and for each other. That way alone can we all pull through the days that are to come.

Enter, tue Americans!

How this mornings war news thrilled every loyal heart The Americans are coming into their own in the great war. Without particle of silly pride or raw arrogance, we sent them over there, hope strong in our heart, faith in our soul. Our army was a brand new war machine, as- sembled from farm and counter and desk and work bench, and it was to fight with the famous and tried war machines of France and England against the notorious Prussian machine We knew that the Am erican was handy lad with the gun and bayonet and that he could stand lot of marching and beating and hard work. But as to how he would take to the gas mask and the intrenching tool and the half score of modern war sciences, we did not know. He had faced cannon balls and grape and canister, but high explosives and machine guns were new to him in actual practice.
 Well, we know pretty we'll now. And so does the Hun. At Chateau Thierry the Americans have won deathless renown. Bearing the brunt, at the apex of the wedge they have outfought the Prussian for three straight days They are putting the punch into the allied lines at this point. They took Catigny and held it against all that the Ger mans could do Skill and speed they have, as well as the old American punch and eager vim.
 Yesterdays exploit. following several lesser ones since the last offensive started, means that they are going to call upon those raw and untrained Americans lev iesP by the thousand to help turn the tide.
 Far be 1t from this column to indulge in vain boasting. The war is young yet for us But we have made good start No use talking, the heart and the spirit are half of it, and the skill and training only the other half When great armies lock in 9 death grapple, the strong arm and the brave heart play mighty part in the result.
 However, this Is Perilously close to boast ing But, anyway, doesn't the news in the war dispatches this morning thrill you through and through in some unaccounta- ble cave man manner? Foch is reaping where Lafayette sowed so long ago. Pretty fair crop. eh?
Bisbee daily review., 1918-06-08
THE GOVERNMENTS VITAL
 BLOW AT THE 1. w. w.
CFrom the Fl Paso IIerald)

A small item appeared in the newspapers a few days ago to the effect that an army of wheat harvesters organized by the Unit ed States employment services would soon open its campaign in the southern states, harvesting the wheat crop in Texas and Oklahoma, thence moving north into Kan sas and Missouri and progress gradually northward with the ripening of the crops until they reached Minnesota. Then, after the Minnesota harvest, the merf would cross into Canada at the request of the Canadian government and assist in the great wheat fields of the dominion. Though it was not so stated, it is to be hoped that the wheat harvesting army will not confine its labors to the relatively narrow strip of territory indicated, but that 1t will be 'di- vided so as to take in California, Oregon and the Dakotas in the west and northwest and work also in some of the eastern wheat producing states. It is a good idea, this army ot the wheat crop and capable of ex- pansion to embrace all sections of the coun- try.
 Little, if any, publicity has been given to this plan heretofore. It is evident enough that the government is preparing to assist, to the utmost in roofing out the strong l. w. w. element which has so endangered the wheat crops of the past few years by burning fields of grain, damaging machin- cry and otherwise employing what it IS pleased to term direct action" The l. w W. has more strength among the harvest hands than in any other one line of indus try, so far as the governments investiga- tors have been able to ascertain. Certainly the documents presented in evidence by the government at the l. w. w. trial in Chicago show that the members devoted chief atten- ton to grain fields and the copper mines It is unlikely that Industrial Workers of tue World would enroll in the governments wheat harvesting army and most unlikely
