DRY AMENDMENT
VOTE STILL IN DOUBT
tBy Associated Press,

Louisville, Nov 5.-The fate Of the
prohibition amendment in Kentucky
is not known today. Incomplete. re-
turns showed the cities voted against
it and the country largely for it. The
Post assumes the Indications are it
has been carried.
The question of whether Ken
lucky has adopted the statewide
prohibition amendment will pro-
badly not be known until nearly
all the counties have reported on
this question. The Courier-J Jour-
nal this morning says that it
seems that Kentucky has regis
tered majority against the
amendment, while the Louisville
Herald says the amendment
seems to have carried. Few
counties reported on the liquor
amendment in first returns, as
chief interest centered in the gov
ernor's race.
The vote on the prohibition
amendment only denotes Ken
tucky's stand on the liquor ques-
ton, and does not have any real
bearing on the situation since the
federal amendment becomes eff
fective January 10. Fl

sRoTHERHoops so INFORMS
SENATE |. c. COMMITTEE.
BRING IN GERMAN ON ROPE
first German Deserter Known To Have
Arrived In This country-eeorgia
Lieutenant Leads Him With
Rope Around His Neck.

Washington. - Permanent govern.
ment ownership OF the railroads as
"the only solution OF the problem" was
advocated before the senate interstate
commerce committee by A. B. Garrett
son Of the railroad brotherhoods.
Garretson said he represented prac.
tically all the railroad unions, with a
total membership of 100000 men.
I'VE are strongly Of the opinion that
the railroads can be best administered
by a direct government agency, ope-
rated not to make profits, but to fur
nish service at actual cost to the peo-
ple."
Garretson said he indorsed the gen.
eral principle of the plan outlined be-
fore the committee a bw days ago by
Glenn e. Plumb, although he thought
there might be much difference Of
opinion among railway men as to many
Of the details.

Secretary Baker made clear the plan
would not interfere in any way with
the desires of parents who wish their
dead brought back to this country.
"The war department will scrupu-
lously respect such requests" he said.

Washington. The enactment Oa
more adequate state laws to control

tary Houston, in a letter sent to the
governors Of 20 states. The secretary
points out that although there has
been gratifying increase in the mum.
ber of sheep in the United States Ia
the past year, there is room for fur.
ther expansion of the industry. Farm.
ers, he says, are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ac.
count of the danger Of damage by
dogs. The letters were sent to the

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AND
PRIVATE OPERATION RAIL
ROADS BY COMPANY.
LABOR TO SHARE PROFITS
Glenn Plumb Voices Labor's Views for
U. s. Ownership and Operation
by Employees, Officers and
the Government.

ington-Railroads should be
kept under government control until
congress has developed a permanent
plan for their management, Glenn E.
Plumb Of Chicago, spokesman for or.
ganized railway labor, told the senate
interstate commerce committee. Twen-
ty-one months Of government control,
authorized by the present law, will not
be sufficient time for working out a
solution, Mr.. Plumb said, but railway
employees are hostile to a five-year ex-
tension unless the railroad administra.
tion revokes its order forbidding rail
way employees to participate in poll
tics
For a permanent solution the labor
forces proposed the following:
Government ownership of all rail.
way properties; operation by a single
corporation, dividing profits equally
among employees and the government
and directed jointly by representatives
of employees, operating officers and the
public; automatic reduction of rates
when profits exceed a certain amount;
and reduction by the Interstate Com
merce Commission of present power to
regulate rates.
Merits of the plan, IL was agreed,
are that it would promote efficiency
through the profit-sharing feature and
through unified operations; take rail
roads out of politics; stabilize invest.
ments; eliminate conflicts between
states and federal authority, and pro.
vide local means of financing exten.
sions.
AS a prerequisite to government
ownership, the labor interests propos-
ed that railway properties be apprais-
ed without the big allowances claimed
by railway companies for land values,
based on costs of acquiring them at
present.
Much Of the questioning of Mr..
Plumb revolved around the opposition
to the railroad administrations politi.
cal order. Mr.. Plumb said this virtu.
ally tied the hands of railroad EN-.
ployes In assisting in developing a so.
lution OF the railway question.

TOTAL STRENGTH OF UNITED
STATES ARMY AT END OF
FIGHTING 3,7oS,273.
INCLUDING MARINE CORPS
The Departments Table Shows That
Rush Of American Troops to Eu-
rope Steadily Increased the
Allied Armies Strength.

Washington The total strength
OF the United States army when the
armistice was signed and when the
American war effort was at its peak,
was 3,703,273 officers and men, in
cluding the marine corps on duty with
the army in Europe. A statistical ta-
BILE, made public by the war depart
ment, gives these figures.
Included in the table is compare
tive statement of the strength of the
allied and German forces on the west
ern front by months, beginning April
l, 1918, showing that on July 1, for
the first time, the rifle strength" ex-
ceeded that of the Germans.
In rifle strength, which means men
standing in the trenches ready to go
over the top with the bayonet," the
allied total on July was 1,556,OOO,
compared with 1,412,OOO for the Ger
mans.
On Nov /, when the enemy's re-
serves had been exhausted and his
front line strength reduced by about
half, the allies had a rifle strength
of 1,4S5, 900, representing odds of up.
wards of two to one.
From July /, as the Americans con
tinued to arrive, the allied superiority
showed continued increase over the
Germans, who had dropped on Nov.
to a strength Of S66,00O.
When the great German drive was
launched in the spring of 1918, the
enemy had definite superiority Of
approximately 20 per cent, the figures
for April l showing an allied rifle
strength of 1,245,O00 and German to-
tai of 1869, 900. The Germans reached
their maximum June l, with 1858, ,000
while the allies reached their maxi.
mum on Sept ! with 1,6S2,0O0.
The meaning Of the rifle strength
upon which the table is based is made
clear by the fact that an American di.
NAoAOA win q NOlaA nAACA6Al VI hppluA
imately $1,000 fighting men, is rated
as 12,250 rifles.
The departments table shows that
the rush of American troops to Eu
rope when the German great drive was
launched, not only succeeded in max
ing good all allied losses from month
to month at the front, but steadily in
creased the strength of the allied ar
mics actually engaged. Figures on
the hundreds of thousands of Ameri
cans who were in training behind the
lines are not given.
The table, prepared by Gen. Per
shing's staff, showing the comparative
strength of the armies for the eight
