VETS CLAIM CHICAGO VICTORY
is SLAP AT NATIONWIDE

Chicago.-The pronounced wet
vote in the election here yesterday
was said by personal liberty" lead
ers to mark the actual beginning OF
a campaign to repudiate national
prohibition.
The wet vote was 391, 900; the
dry 144,032. Four out of every
five men voted wet, and three out
of every five women did the same.
The Trades Union Liberty lea
que issued the following statement:
Through the overwhelming de-
feat of the drys Chicago has spoken
in tones that will ring in the ears
of those subservient lawmakers
who have so cravenly surrendered
the liberty of American citizens at
the dictation of clique of paid
prohibition lobbyists. There will
be now no let-up in the protest
against prohibition tyranny until
the freedom of the people has been
fully restored to them. This is the
message Chicago sends to congress-
On the other hand e. j. Davis,
Chicago superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league, said:
81 am not surprised at the result.
We made no fight and asked no one
to vote for a dry Chicago. To have
done so would have been to dishon-
or the acts of congress. The efforts
of Chicago vets to use Chicago re-
suits in an effort to terrorize con-
gress and the supreme court is lit
tie short of seditious."
The wet and dry election was
planned two years ago, but court
proceedings delayed it until yester-
day. Meanwhile the presidential
proclamation and the prohibition
amendment to the constitution de-
prived local option, which was the
issue on the ballot, in its import
ance, except as allowing an express
sion of sentiment. Had the amend
ment carried Chicago saloons would
have been compelled to close May
1 next.

write. This has been great life
for me just as 1t has for many other
Yanks, when We took our farewell
look at the Old Statue of Liberty
in New York Harbor and our Con-
voy was headed for the east we be-
gan to realize that our chances of
seeing home again were few, but
still we knew what our task was
and to carry IL out to a bitter end.
And | must say we have gained sue
cess. Well on my trip over the
pond many funny things happened,
FIRST as we were ready to sail from
Hoboken Secretary Baker was Just
returning from over here and as his
ship pulled up near ours he said,
Boys they need you over there"
he was right but we didn't realize
the important fact until we went
after fritz at st. Mihiel. We we're
twelve days on the water and when
we were out about ten l suppose,
one night about twelve o'clock we
were attacked by a submarine and
just supposed my soldering was
over there was lots of excitement
and when the sub. chasers dropped
few depth charges our ship sure
did rock about and we thought at
last we had got near the enemy.
oh. we finally landed at Brest
April 2Sth is. and you should have
heard the boys laugh at the wooden
shoes the people were wearing and
| thought at first it was funny to
see a little boy smoking a cirarette
as that was the first American word
they could say, then we hiked from
Brest to Pontanezen barracks these
were barracks used by Napoleon
and the bullet marks are plainly
visible on the walls where the peo-
pie in revolutions were chained and
shot. That was the starting of our
life in France, from there we went
down in western France and in the
lines, where we learned how it feels
to be under heavy bombardments
and machine gun barrages. l had
quite few close escapes in trench
warfare as l was in the trenches
three different times, but. how l
got by with just such hair breadth |
as l had at st. MIihiel and
n the Argonne will always be a
mystery to me. l have never told j
he folks at home what a place we G
got in when we made a night at
ack on a little town called Aincre- :
lille not for from the Meuse river,
when we fought hand to hand you 1
night say with the Boche and ma i
hine gun bullets filled the air, and U
only got hit once and don't see v
low l kept from getting fifty. Well I
lOn't worry about me for l expect

ummer, but think of the poor boys u
Who by my side made the supreme d
acriiice and whose names will fill [

purpose that Democracy may rule.

Storm of Last Friday Accompanied by
a Deluge of Rain in this County
The rain and electrical storm which
passed over Kent county late Friday

without cessation. Many corn and
wheat fields were flooded and some
corn beaten to the ground. Tomato
plants were also badly submerged in
some localities. East of Dover the

consuming them. On the MillingtOn
farm two miles east of Dover two
horses were struck and killed and on
an adjoining farm a cow was struck
and killed On the farms of B. H.
