Superintendent Holsopple expressed himself this morning as highly ap preciative! of the loyal spirit of the local ministers and church boards in helping to make what he termed "the greatest Held day rally ever held in Pennsylvania." "And this spirit of co-operation," continued the speaker, "is spreading all over the State." "All this gives 1917 a hopeful out loow. Twenty-three States have adopted prohibition and six or eight are on the verge of doing so. A con stitutional amendment has a major ity of supporters in the Senate and House at Washington. A dry Dis trict of Columbia is an almost imme diate possibility, the Supreme Court of the United States having affirmed the constitutionality of the Kenyon "Wcbb-Sheppard bill, the greatest vic tory of th etemperance cause to date. Of 2543 counties in the nation all but 305 outlawed the liquor traffic and saloons are closing by tens of thou- J sands each year." I News at a Glance PITTSBURGH. E.

"Part of the President's message re garding the possibility of seeking guar antees for future peace is supported in its fundamental ideas by the entente Which in its note set forth the same aspirations for a stable settlement in Europe. The aims of Italy are indispensable conditions of peace. Italy, having la boriously emerged from bondage by driving out the Austrians, has among her war aims the attainment of com plete unity. This is Justified histori cally and its completion will be a proper act, because Italy does not wish to live by the grace of others.

PROBE BILL WILL GET AMENDMENT [Continued I 'mm First Page] vote to pass it in case any opposition develops. Governor Brumbaugh is expected to send nominations of the board of bituminous mine examiners and some minor appointments to the Senate to night, but whether he will name a Judge for Schuylkill county or send in the name of D. E. Long to be Su perintendent of Public Printing and Binding could not be learned. Under a recent ruling it is expected that ap pointment of county treasurers and other officers will be sent to the Sen ate. The Senate will probably adjourn to-morrow for the week, but the House will likely have a Wednesday session. The committees will organize to-night or to-morrow and start con sidering the sixty bills in hand. Many more are expected to-night, including the woman suffrage amendment. Thus far there has been no actie~> taken regarding items for the conduce of the State government, the policy in regard to charities or the Governor's salary or expense funds. Considering Appropriations Chairman James F. Woodward, of the House appropriations committee, said to-day that, his committee would organize immediately and get to work upon the deficiency bill presented lust week to provide nearly a million do'- lars for the conduct of the State gov ernment for the remainder of the fis cal year. The plan is to start hearing of department heads to-morrow. When Governor Brumbaugh sent the information regarding the sums esti mated by chiefs as needed to conduct their work for the rest of the official year he suggested that there might be chances to trim the amounts. Mr. Woodward said in talking about the matter, "The people of Pennsylvania are expecting a business like consideration of all bills, espe cially appropriations and we will en deavor to have everything explained and accounted for. Everything pos sible will be done to get to the bottom of these fast-growing deficiencies. There will be no factionalism or any thing like that in these hearings. We will simply ask reasons and we will cut off what we think is not needed. We -will demand to be shown and be impartial." The various departments and sub divisions of the State government who have items in the general deficiency bill which was introduced in the House last Tuesday will have to "go on the carpet" before the House ap propriations committee and do some tall explaining. The aggregate of the deficiencies is about $725,000 and Chairman James F. Woodward, of the appropriations committee said this morning that it would be the aim of the committee to cut that deficiency to the bone and save the greatest amount possible to the State. It is not the intention to bullyrag or threaten officers of the govern ment but they will have some strong questions to answer. From the stand point of party responsibility, the Re publicans are determined to save every cent possible to the people and the pruning knife will likely work over time on the deficiency bill.

A development of the week that tends to justify confidence in the Ministry was tlio getting together of the allied navies, which in the past have lacked co-ordination, and there are signs of an intense if unadvertised activity at the Admiralty that fits into the generally accepted theory of an Im pending trial of strength between Brit tain and Germany that will tost the comparative resources of the two coun tries on and particularly under the sea.

The deadliest sea attack ever offered by one great country and the most resolute defense ever made by an other seem to be staged for a future so near that it may be only to-morrow.

"When fear of the German subma rine next moves Mr. Wilson to declare for 'peace with victory' between the tortured Belgians and their cruel op pressors and taskmasters; when such fear next moves him to utter the shame ful untruth that each side is fighting for the same things and to declare for neutrality between wrong and right" let him think of the Prophetess-Deborah, who, when Sisera mightily oppressed the children of Israel with his chariots of iron, and when the people of Meroz stood neutral between the oppressed and the oppressor, sang of them: " 'Curse ye, Meroz, said the angel of .the Lord, curse ye bitterly the in habitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the against the mighty.'
