tho House is safe for ratiication snd
that The Senate is only slightly less
so. However. Il is not our intention
to take too much for granted. In
addition to the districts of the lower
house given as secure. there are close
contests for about twenty-five other
seats and the dry forces will en-
deavor to make the majority even
larger by electing some of these
men. In the Senate we believe that
real fights exist in only six of the
districts given-the Fourteenth,
Eighteenth, Twenty fourth. Twenty
sixth. Twenty eighth and Thirtieth,
and we are entering our strength in
these places.
"Our margin in the Senate as
things now stand is not a very large
one but we feel safe in making the
prediction that the next Pennsyl-
vania Legislature will ratify.
In addition to the hold-over SEN
ators named there are several others
whom we expect to vote on our side
who did not do so last year. The
reason for this is the fact that when
the hold-over Senators were elected
ratification was not an issue and the
people in their districts had no op-
portunity to indicate to their repre-
sentativeS in the Senate how they
wished them to vote.
AT the recent primary, however.
ratification was the dominant issue
and the people of certain legislative
districts which are included in Sem
atorial districts represented by hold
over Senator'S who voted wet last
year gave unmistakably declared
themselves in favor OF ratification
by nominating dry men for the lower
house. This is particularly true In
the Twenty-first district, represented
by Senator Sterling r. Catlin: the
twenty-tifth district, represented by
Senator Frank E. Baldwin,; the
Twenty-seventh district. represented
by Senator William \. Mcconnell
and the Thirty-fifth district, repre-.
sented by Senator Horace y. Tomp-
kins. We expect these four Sena-
tors 10 analyze the d1y vote at the
Me- primaries and TO act accord.

vote, twenty-siS being needed, this
number being made up of nominees
who are declared to be certain of
election and holdovers,
Tho Dry Federation made public
the names OF l03 nominees for the
House whom IL claims will note to
ratify and who are asserted to be
sure OF election. In some cases the
names OF more than one nominee fer
a single V~cRncy is given. this being
due to the fact that the district is
close. and both candidates are count
ed as dry.
The names of eight others are
withheld for the present, it is said
because these nominees have refns-
ed to permit the public use of their
names in this connection, but the
Dry Federation asserted that these
men have privately pledged them
selves and are regarded as safe,
thereby making the total OF 1lO
claimed.

Congressman Run
When Shells Fall

With the American Forces ON the
Atsne-SIarne Front, Aug. Ia half
dozen war-tired American Congress
men slowly made their way back to
Paris after having witnessed from
a hillside on Monday the tussle for
possession of the town of Sergy. two
and a half miles southeast of the
former German base at Fere-en-
Tardenois, in the Soissons- Rheims
pocket
The CongresSmen saw American
infantrymen in action, witnessed the
firing of Entente Allied big guns. and
heard the rattle of German machine
guns and the crashing OF the heavy
cannon of the German Crown Prince
The Congressman probably would
have remained on the eminence
longer had not the German heavy
shells began exploding overhead.
That ended the sightseeing trip in
that vicinity. one Congressman re-
marking that the Germans could
quit that sort of business right then
so far as he was concerned.

EICHHORN MOST
RUTHLESS KIEV
KAISER GENERAL
Unrelenting in Starving and
Plundering Ukraine For
Germany's Benefit

London. Aug. 1.-The Amsterdam
correspondent of The Daily Express
telegraphs:
The assassination of Field Mar
shall Won Eichhorn. while causing
widespread indignation in Germany,
must have occasioned little surprise
among those who knew what this
most ruthless or all the kaisers gem
erals had done at Kiev to starve and
plunder Ukraine for the benefit of
Germany.
From the very beginning Eich-
horn treated the Ukrainians as slaves
whose only reason for living was to
see that Germany obtained enough
food from the land. His first measure
was TO force the peasants under the
most severe penalties to cultivate
the land for the Germans benefit. His
last was to fix price for corn which
would enable the Germans to obtain
! bread more eheaply. but which
would absolutely ruin the Ukraine
peasants and landowners
The climax was reached when he
had two popular members of the first
/ Ukraine government arrested aud
sentenced to various terms of inn
prisonment for plotting against Ger
many. The sentence of the German
! field tribunal last week caused gen.
eral indignation.
Journalists Sound Warming
Germany will see TO 1t that Eich-
horns murderer is punished at once,
but the matter will certainly not rest
there. German journalists who trav-
eled through Ukraine recently all re-
turned 10 Berlin sounding the note OF
warning that the Germans were more
hated there than anywhere in the
world. The fact that Eichhorn's as
| saSsin is Russian and not Ukrain-
ian is significant. 1t will probably
cause Germany to seek a quarrel. not
so much with the Skoropadski gov
ernment at Kiev, which is German
! through and through, only moving
at the German ambassadors beck
and call. but with the Moscow gov
| ernment, which is unable to discover
| Ambassador Mirbach's murderers.
There are many signs that Ger
many only awaits the opportunity OF
breaking with the Bolsheviki now
that their power is waning. The
newspapers are more and more in
sistent about the punishment of Mir
| bach's murderers. A semi official note
published yesterday by the foreign
| office accused the Bolshevist envoyS
now visiting Berlin with the object
| of completing" the Brest-Litovsk
treaty of doing everything to destroy
! that treaty, and hinted plainly thai
! Germany's patience was being sorely
! tried by the Bolsheviki.
