FLU Is CAUSE OF INCREASE IN

BritOns Take On More Liquor to
Combat the MaIady-Over-in-

Influenza has tilted the scales in
favor of more drink for Britons. For
some time past the government has
wavered on the question of more
whiskey and spirits, knowing there
would be great cutlery from the
prohibitionists if any big supply of
whiskey is freed from bond, but the
influenza epidemic, which doctors say
can best be combated with whiskey,
made certain the decision to release
so per cent more of the high proof
spirits.
Nevertheless, the doctors say
Overindulgence will make a person
more susceptible, and to be an eff
fective preventive the whiskey should
be taken only at home.
To expose ones self to open air
afterwards reduces its pOtsntialities.
The prohibitionists assert the gov

widespread demands for more liquor.

LUTHERANS VOTE ENGLISH
SERVICES.
Waterloo Church Decides to Abolish
German Tongue From All
Rituals,


Waterloo, Ia.-By a vote of II to
81 the First Lutheran congregation
decided in favor of the English Ian
guage and against German in it's re-
ligious services. The matter came up
at a special meeting which proved
to be the largest in the history Of
the congregation.
Men and women who had not at
tended a business meeting for years
came to cast their votes. Members
who before had sided with the En-
glish faction, who had helped defeat
the German school years ago and who
had their children confirmed in the
English language, voted side by side
with those who had always opposed
the English work.
Ends Bitter Strife.
About twelve people in the cOngre-
cation cannot understand English
and they will be given a service
twice a month in the afternoon at
which their language will be spoken.
The vote brings to an end strife
which would sooner or later have
meant ruin to this strong Organiza-
ton. This now becomes an English
Lutheran church.
The Rev. Henry Mueller, the pas
tor, who has been 100 per cent AM
erican throughout the war, gave a
statement which in part read:
THE day has come when the
younger generation will not feel at
home in a church where the Ameri-
can language does not occupy first
place. When the Lutheran people of
European countries came here they
came to make their home.
4 Church to Rescue.
- Their children soon adopted the
English language in the public
schools and were thoroughly Ameri-
caniZed, whereas the older people
were Handicapped as far as their re.
iigion is concerned But the church
came to their rescue and gave them
services in their mother tongue, not
to perpetuate their language, but
only as long as it was needed, for az
soon as the people can understand
the language of their adopted coun-
try as well as German, Danish, etc.
it would be ungrateful to their coun.
try and detrimental to their church
to continue conducting services in a
foreign language. Not only that, il
would be an injustice to their chill
dren, who would thereby be deprived
of their religious rites. A foreign
language is a temporary asset and
should not become a permanent liza
bility."
The Rev. Mr.. Mueller said it was
not fair for people to insist on a
foreign language being spoken in a
church when it is not spoken at
home or at public gatherings.
"Their arguments are without found
ation,' he said, land their spirit is
not the spirit of st. Paul, who was a
Jew to the Jews and a Greek to the
Greeks in order that he might save
many"

Forty Newspapers Quit Business.

The fact that forty newspapers OIL
Iowa passed out of existence during
the past year is evidence that the
war was not time of great prosper
ity for the press, taken as whole IN
the Hawkeye state. But that they die
their part in putting over the various
war drives for America is such a
patent fact that it requires no re-
iteration. That they will continue to

G. 0. P. CHIEF CON.
FIDENT OF VICTORY

Washington, June 3O.-Win H. Hays,
Chairman of the Republican national
COMMITTEES, came to town today in re-
sponse to en- invitation by Republican
leaders of the senate to help them
unite the party on definite and con.
crete program for dealing with thu
league Of nations covenant.
The Republican chairman announced
that he had established his headquar-
ters in Washington, and would stay ou
the job here almost constantly from
now on. Examination of the situation
in the senate demonstrated to Mr.. Hays
that the Republican senators were di.
vided into three distinct groups, al
though, as Senator Lodge declared sew
ersl day. ago, there are sufficient votes
to amend the league covenant.
These groups may be described in
this manner:
First, the element headed by Senators
Borah Of Idaho and johnson of Cali
fornia, who are frankly against the
whole league plan, and who believe the
party will make q mistake in not tax
ing a stand against the league. These
senators were outspOken in thei, dis
approval of Mr. Hays statement that
the league is "an American issue, not
a mart iaan uuaation
Second, very small number Of sena-
tors, perhaps only one-Senator Ne
Cumber of North Dakota-who favors
the league without reservation, and
who would be glad to see the party
definitely committed to its support.
Third, the class commonly called the
"Reservstionists" who believe that
the covenant should be accepted with
a qualifying resolution containing res
crvations along the lines suggested BY
Elihu Root. This class might be sub.
divided between those who think tho
Root reservations would be entirely
adequate and those who think thyy
ought to be amplified and strength.

sufficiently satisfactory to command
the almost unanimous support Of The
Republican senators will b. worked out.

is the anniversary Of the murder of
Archduke Ferdinand, whose assassina
ton gave Germany q protest for start
in the world war.
An hour before signing, those assem-
bled in the hall had been urged to take
seats, but the eagerness to see the cere-
mony resulted in crowding the center
hall. There was general scramble for
standing room. The delegates of minor
powers made their way with difficulty
through the crowds. The crowds shout
ed for officials standing to sit down
and not block their view. The dele
gates were surprised by its disorder.
The signing lost much of it's expected
dignity because Of the confusion.
Premier Clemenceau, president Of the
conference, made speech inviting the
Germans to sign. The Germans then
were led to table where they signed
and the protocol Of the Polish under
taking. The allied note to the German
delegation dealing with the ratification
of the treaty was delivered at two
o o'elock thia afternoon. It pointed out
that the withdrawal of the blockade of
Germany depended on their ratification.

and fift ymembers Of the German mis-.
sion left Versailles this evening to

FLYING CIRCUS
HERE ABOUT JULY IS

Ellington fliers are about to embark
on another epoch making cross country
flight. -Four Liberty motored DeHavi-
land battleplanes will shortly leave tho
great airdome on flight which will
carry them to the waters of the Pa-
cific, thence northward and possibly
cross continent to the Atlantic coast
before they finally turn the noses of
their ships toward Houston again.
Unlike previous trips this flight will
be made purely in the interest of edu-
eating the people in the study of avia-
tion and especially in interesting ambi-
tious young men in the opportunities
the air service has to offer them today.
For practical mechanical education,
service in this branch of the army can
not be surpassed. The crossing Of the
Atlantic by plane was the final step
in assuring the future success Of COM
mercial aviation. In the near years to
come there will be an enormous demand
for skilled workers in airplane plants.
Aviation being comparatively a new
game appeals mostly to young men of
the more ambitious type. To these
men the Ellington pilots going on this
long flight will act as an information
bureau in that they are prepared to
answer all questions pertaining to tho
opportunities for learning the U. 8.

Practically all the big cities of the
west will be visited by this squadron

Washington, June 30.-As war time
prohibition took effect tonight the de-
partment of justice announced that it's
agents throughout the country would
not attempt tomorrow to stop the sals
of two and three quarters per cent beer.
This eleventh hour development, .
flat reversal of an earlier ruling today
by the department, was due to the un-
certainty as 10 how the federal distinct
court of New York might rule on q
pending cIaiia by brewers that bss-
containing tat huch alcohol was cot
intoxicating.
But while tris unce tainty existe1 a.
to beer of lighter ,lcoholic percentage
than that sod generally heretofore,
full warning was gwen that with re-
spect to whisky and all beverages as
to whose intoxicating powers there was
no doubt, every governmental agency
would be set to work in determined
effort to prevent their manufacture
and sale.
How long the sale Of two and three
quarters per cent beer might continue
would depend ordinarily upon the speed
of the courts, but congress meanwhile
will step to the front in an effort to
complete the effectiveness of the war
time law.
Prohibition members Of the house
will now attempt passage of a straight

type of work they will encounter on
this long flight. Each shop will be
equipped with the latest devices de-
signed for aerial navigation. This will
be the first squadron of planes to fly
by the Aerial Route Map of the war
department which has just been re-
leased by the map division of the air
service under the direction of Brig.
General Menoher.
The squardon expects to leave by the
first Of Jnly and expects to return to
Ellington Field toward the end of o.
tober. Big recruiting rallies will be
held in each town visited. The ships
are painted with service recruiting slo-
gans such as "Learn to Fly" "We
teach you a trade" "Join the Air
service,n "Be an American Eagle, 4"
b" Earn While You Learn" These slo-
gans are painted on the sides Of tie
fuselages and under the wings and on
the rudder. In addition to the red,
white and blue air service insignia each
pilot has painted distinctive mark
ings ON his ship. This flight will be
the fourth big recruiting drive starting
from Ellington Field. Six other Elling-
ton planes and four motor trucks
equipped with air service recruiting
propaganda are now securing Texas in

towns by airplane and to thoroughly
cover the country in a manner never
accomplished before.
On the trip ships will have to "take
off" at attitudes varying from sea level
to $500 feet at Glenwood Springs.
This means that if ship is 10000
feet over Glenwood Springs it has an
actual altitude of $500 feet. Air at
those high attitudes is very thin and
offers very little supporting power 70
the plane 30 making flying quite dan
gerous. Careful observations will be
made when flying under these unordin-
ary conditions and much valuable data
is expected to be collected on the trip.
The personnel Of the trip is made up
of some Of the best flying talent at
Ellington Field, and will be in charge
Of Lieut.. G. c. Mutt, the first aviator
to pilot ship from the Gulf of Mex
leo to Denver, Colorado.
Lieutenant Charles v. Rugh of aero
batic fame will pilot the second ship.
Rugh was member of the famous
Ellington Gulf to Pacific squadron
which mapped the aerial highway from
Houston, Texas, to the Pacific coast.
Sergeant First Glass Victor T. Llaams
will accompany Rugh as mechanician.
The third ship will be piloted by
Lieutenant Edward W. Killgore, one of
the first six aerial sail pilots. Lieut..
Killgore has the distinction of having
piloted the giant Handley-Page for the
first marriage flight when Lieut.. Meade
wed Miss Dumont 5000 feet in the air.
Lieut.. Killgore will act as publicity
officer for the squadron and will have
as his mechanic Sergeant First Class
Frank M. Foster.
Lieut.. Erick Nelson of Sweden will
drive the fourth ship. Nelson was also
a member of the Gulf to Pacific squad
ron and has been chief tester at Filing
ton since his return from that flight.
g. E. A. M. John Kelly, one of the

the Germans could not consent to enter
