DATE OF ADOPTION OF
PR0H|B. AMENDMENT

The much-mooted question as TO
when the prohibition amendment re-
Gently submitted to the people and
favorably acted upon by a large ma
jority, will take effect is as vet not
definitely known. The News has
Idade an effort TO get this date for
its readers and can only submit the
following. which was given by one
of the leading attorneys of Ely:
The Constitutional Amendment
on the subject of the Initiative and
Referendum provides that If a ma
jority of the qualified electors vot-
ing thereon shall approve of such
measure it shall become a law and
take effect from the date Of the Of
fetal declaration of the vote.'-
Extract from Election Law (Sec.
26 of Act approved March "a. 1917.
provides that: +.
e"On the third Monday of Deem
Der succeeding sucn election the chief
justice Of the supreme court and the
associate justices, or a majority
thereof, shall meet at the office Of
the secretary of state, and shall open
and canvass the vote for United
States Senator and member of Con-
gress, district and state officers; and
for and against any questions sub
mitted. The Governor shall grant
a certificate of election to and COM
mission the persons having the high
est number of votes and shall also
Issue proclamations declaring the
election of such persons"
Section SO of the same act pro-
vides that THE votes a upon such
question shall be counted and can
vassed as are the votes for state of
ficers county and canvassed."
1t would appear, therefore, that
the result OF the canvass by the SUI
preme court is conveyed to the Gov
ernor. and il the case of state and
district officers he issues a commits
zion and proclamation of their cleo
tion; nothing is said as to proclama-
tion on questions submitted, but by
a parity Of reasoning 1t would seem
that the result on such questions
should be proclaimed by him, and
upon such proclamation the act
would take effect.
Editors Note: Appreciation is
hereby extended the lawmakers who
made this event occur on Monday.
and it is hoped that If proclamation
BY aforesaid governor be deemed
essential same may be made early
in the week and thus allow ample
time for recuperation Of the MEM
bers Of the mechanical and roper
torisl forces who may happen to
celebrate the monientous event, and
be fully recovered from their efforts

TO RECLAIM S SWAMP
Engineers Have Long Had Their Ev.s
on Picturesque Wilderness Which
Can Be Made Valuable.

Dismal Swamp, which lies just south
of Norfolk. Va, partly in that state
and partly In North Carolina, is one
of the most picturesque wildernesses
in the eastern United States. Although
IL may be reached from the busy port
of Norfolk within a few hours nv =
boat which plies daily up and down n
small canal. the Dismal Swamp re-
mains an unspoiled wilderness where
black bears and panthers still roam.
while the smaller creatures of the wild
exist in abundance
The thick jungles and bottomless
hogs at once offer perfect hiding places
for the Wild things and obstacles to
the hunter which are often impassa-
bic. Then, too. the swamp is alive
with snakes-the deadly copperhead
and moccasin being especially album
dant-and this fact alone detracts con-
siderably from the popularity of the
place as a pleasure resort.
1t is nevertheless regularly visited
by some hardy hunters, and is the de-
light Of n~aturalists and scientists Of
al kinds, who here find what they
most love-unspoiled, primitive nature.
The Dismal Swamp has great posi-
bilities Of future usefulness. In the
first place. It contains some of the
deepest and richest deposits of peat
in the United States, and this fuel Is
undoubtedly to be used In this coun-
try In the ii future. Furthermore,
engineers say that the swamp can be
drained. and that 1t win then become
one Of the richest bits Of farmland IN
America. Indeed. a man has already
demonstrated this by draining a few
hundred acres Of the swamp and rails
ing phenomenal crops on it.-Chicaso

taken into hand BY the men, carried

tossed into the murlsy waters. He
came out thoroughly eowed and had
his name placed on the LIST Of pledges.

veal the name Of the man punished.

Hindenburg Is Expected

chine Of slaughter, The effect Of the
lrumor must be profound upon the
morale Of the German troops. Grow
ling lack Of confidence in the eff
cheney Of the high command would
produce a more pronounced reaction
anon gthe Germans than any other
army because German system is based
on infallibility Of the war lords.
It is but mockery of the vast num-
bers Of German dead for the kaiser
to proclaim the desirability of await
ing patiently the fruits Of victory
without further sacrifices rather
than attempt to gain immediate sue
cess BY bloody losses.
All Germany knows that Won Hin
denburg's offensive was preceded by
an elaborate educational campaign
among the German people who are
taught to expect the quick ending Of
the war by means Of one final sacri-
fice of German manhood. The sac
rifce has been made in appalling
measure, but still peace does not ap-
pear To replace the dead among
the allies, fresh American troops are
filling the western trenches, giving
promise soon of approximately in
numbers the full strength even Of the
German army itself in Flanders and
Picardy. 1t is not to be wondered
at that under these conditions the
Germans are beginning to believe Won
Hindenburg must be dead. His body
may still be alive, but his reputation
is seeking its grave.

4 New York, May 2s.-The persist
ent rumcrs of Won Hindenburgs deatE
which y being repeated by captured
German prisoners is the strongest
evidence that has vet appeared of q
realization by Germany Of the failure
of Hindenburg's west front offensive.
There is no reason for believing
that Won Hindenburg really is physi-
cally in his grave, but it is unques-
tiOnably true that the rumors to this
effect have originated in the Kaiser's
army to explain Won Hindenburg's
enforced halt in Flanders and Picardy
with his major objectives unattained.
Reports of the deaths of high com.
manders never arise spontaneously in
an army while victorioes are being
won. It is instructive realization
among the private soldiers that mat
ters are going wrong, which starts
such tales.
Won Hindenburg's long pause while
Ypres and Amiens remain uncaptur-
ed, and the allied lines continue un-
broken, NUT have created much pessi-
mism in the German ranks. II is the
pessimism which now manifests itself
in the report that von Hindenburg
has sacrificed his own life to his ma

From now on all prisoners return

VIII Hammer British.
The kaiser may undertake elabo-
rate feints here and there, but the in
dications are that his main thrust will
be against the British and French
combined.
my information Is that the Ger
mans win hammer the British with
the bulk Of their army, simultaneous
" spreading propaganda to the effect
that the British do not fight as well
as the other allies, IN roder to create
friction among the entente nations.
Meanwhile, prisoners admit that
the German mouths are still watering
for Amiens and the cool, green val
ley Of the Somme stretching toward
the sea.
Thus, with double Objectiyes-one
impudent and sinister; the other dar-
ing and desperate Hindenburg may
be expected shortly to set the western
battle front ablaze.
