Representative Henry led off, ex plaining that the rule made liberal provision for debate and amendment. Air. Henry said he would vote for the rule but against. the resolution. Representative Campbell, of Kansas, ranking Republican of the rules com mittee, spoke for the rule and the resolution. An Intemperate Measure Argument aprainst the rule and against the resolution was made by Representative Contrill, of Kentucky. "1 think this is the most intem perate measure that has come before this House for years." said he. Representative Kelly, of Pennsylva nia. Progressive member of the rules committee, supported the rule and the resolution, lie said the country was prepared to vote on prohibition and Congress should give it. opportunity. "This resolution is a national solution of a national problem." said he. Representativ llohson, author of the resolution, spoke supporting, the rule, lie said more than six million- people had,, petitioned Congress for the sub mission t>l' the amendment. "If the details of this resolution are not satisfactory." he said, "let us ;i mend it. What we seek is a scien tific remedy for a deep-seated scien tific organic disease. We see a dis ease which is debauching our youth, through the national organized liquor traffic, in its search for profits. And we seek a remedy." Support and Opposition Support of the rule and opposition to the resolution was expressed by Representative Lenroot, of Wisconsin, lie said the States had full power over the liquor question "and only a small minority had passed prohibition laws." Representative Pou, of North Caro lina. speaking against the rule, said: • 1 believe we are lighting the tires of a controversy which will burn in Ili i.-- country for a generation. In my judgment there is not a man now in this hall who will be alive when the last State ratifies this amendment." Mr. Pou said he favored prohibition, but believed the "State Is the largest efficient unit in the enforcement of a prohibition law." Representative Kent, of California, argued that the States were compe tent to deal with the question with out Federal interference. Representative Coad.v, of Maryland, opposed the proposal because of loss of revenue. Representative Howard, of Georgia, announced his intention of supporting both the rule and the resolution. "The loss of revenue will be more than made up by the money saved in Hie administration of justice by sober ing up the people of this country from one end to the other." he said. HKKMKS TO AID POOR.

Mass., Deo. 22. —A new type of projectile which will scatter a j white-hot mixture of molten steel over J the object of attack and at the same j time permeate the atmosphere with) a deadly was, which will make it im-1 possible for lire fighters to approach, | has been invented toy John Hays Hammond. Jr., according to a state ment made by the Inventor. The new missle may soon appear in the Euro pean war, as some of the belligerent nations are now negotating for its purchase, he said. The United States Government at present, is conducting experiments with the new projectile at, Sandy ITook, he added. The missle is designed for use in siege guns as an aid in destroying towns and dirigible balloons. Mr. Hammond explained that the projectile carries an aluininothermic mixture which, live seconds after tlie projectile is discharged, turns the , steel inside to a white-hot mixture at j a. temperature of 5400 degrees Fahren- I helt. When tlie projectile hits the target, j the Inventor said, it explodes. its j white-hot contents setting tire to what- ! ever inflammable material it strikes, j To avoid the possibility of any one in I the locality quenching tho flames, Mr. Hammond said, he had equipped the I projectile with a chamber filled with ' hydrocyanic acid, tile fumes of which j are deadly. | PKTER ENTERED CITY" WHII.K FIGHTING WAS IX PKOGKKSS By Associated Press , London, Dec. 22, 4:27 a. m.—The capture of Belgrade by the Servians was accomplished only after desperate fighting, according to the correspond ent of the Times at Belgrade.
