Washington, June 25.-Declaring
the nation cannot. afford to conduct
experiments at this time. Chairman

the senate agricultural committee.
mo Time for Experiments"
"We've got to put all the smash and
drive we've got into this war;" de-
cIared Mr.. Hurley We've got to fight
and still fight with every muscle
straining and put aside non-essential
experimenting if we are to wiring vic
tory from the Huns"
Worse Than Conscription of Labor.
He said that in his opinion there
dould be more risk connected with
prohibition at this time than in the
CONSUMPTION of laDor, as taking OF beer
away from workmen would be prac-
tical interference with labor. He add
ed, Il don't want to take any
chances"
Mr.. Hurley ana other officials ap-
peared to support the statement made
several days ago by Bainbridge Colby,
member of the shipping board, which
led the committee to reopen hearings
on the Jones prohibition amendment
to the emergency agricultural appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Colby told the COM
mittee that to take light wines and
beer from the working man would re-
duce the output of American shipyards
25 per cent.
Would Be Good in Private Business.
IF merely private interests were af-
fected," Mr.. Hurley said, Il have no
hesitancy in saying that 1 would well
come the prohibition experiment. Any
temporary disorganization it might
cause would have its compensation.
Hurley for personal Liberty"
1T is not private business, but the
business in great war emer-
gency with which L am concerned;
and I am unwilling in this crisis to
stand sponsor for any experiment with
the personal liberty of nearly half a
million men in the shipyards and con-
tributing industries, on whom we are
relying to put thru the biggest ship
ping program in the history of this
or any other nation. All the states
are now taking what virtually amounts
to referendum on the constitutional
amendment which is pending before
! the legislatures. If the states act ia
vorably upon it the workmen can have
no feeling that there has been a lack
of fair play. The result sought by the
proposal before the senate committee
then will be achieved gradually an6
with ample notice for the accommo-
dation of habits and temperaments.

Existing Alliance To Be Wild

Change of Ministry Does Not
Affect German Relations.
Turk-Bulgarian Disagreements
Will Soon BE Settled.

Amsterdam, June 25.-Speaking In
the reichstag at Berlin yesterday on
the second reading of the budget for
the foreign office and the chancellor
DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the for
eign secretary, went into some ques-
tions of imperial policy, referring first
to Germany's relations with her allies.
'In Austria-Hungary,' said Doctor
Won Kuehlmann, that brilliant repre-
sentative of her foreign policy, Count
Czernin, retired because of internal po-
litica1 reasons. His successor, Baron
Burian, is well tried diplomat whose
loyalty, friendship and devotion to the
alliance were assured from the outset.
The personal and cordial collaboration
which existed in the case of Count
Czernin and which contributed to the
final settlement and solution of all
questions also exists in the case of
Baron Burian."
Will Solidify Alliance.
"It is also to be reckoned among
Baron Burian's services" Doctor Won
Kuehlmann went on, that an inter-
view between the two emperors oc-
CURED at main headquarters which
history will record as momentous in
shaping the relations between Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. Both the
emperors, in the presence of leading
statesmen, assured each other solemn
ly that they would not only loyalty
abide by the existing alliance but that
they intended to strengthen, widen
and deepen it in political, military and
economic directions
Pursuant to the expression of the
will of these two august personages, re-
sponsible statesmen forthwith entered
into corresponding negotiations. Dur
ing his visit to Berlin, Baron Burian
discussed the fundamental questions

WILSON WILL SPEAK JULY a
President Scheduled for Address a
Washington's Home.

Washington, June 25.-President
Wilson will deliver Fourth of July
address at Mount Vernon, Va, in con-
nection with a celebration in which
representatives of all allied nations
will participate.
While no information was forthcom-
ing at the White House as to the sub
ject the president would discuss in his
address, it was indicated in other
quarters that it will be another urge
to the peoples OF Austria and similar
oppressed nations to break away from
German domination.
That the address might hold some
significance in view of the present
Russian situation also was believed
possible.
The president has not yet begun
preparations for the address and
events of the next few days will have
an important bearing upon its text.

these have not been erected for perm

usually built after a single pattern and

They are usually rented at 2 low rate.
