4 SALOONS ARE NOT NEEDED TO BOOST WAR, IS TESTIFIED Secretary of Navy Tells Con gress Committee What Pro . hibitlon Did For the Navy By Associated Press Washington, June 25.—Declaring the nation cannot afford to conduct experiments at this time. Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping Board, to day opposed absolute prohibition be fore the Senate Agriculture Commit tee. Percy H. Johnston, vice-president of the Chemical National Bank, of New York, speaking for a commit tee of bankers from the principal titles, told the committee an abso lute prohibition amendment forbid dhig he withdrawal of spirits from bond would result in a financial cat astrophe, throwing many banks and thousands of firms into bankruptcy. Burleson Suggests Conference Postmaster General Burleson join ;d in expressing fear that prohibition it this time might interfere with prosecution of the war. He said he wis not prepared to say whether it was necessary to conserve food, and suggested the committee confer with the food administration. Mr. Hurley, answering many ques tions by prohibition advocates on the committee, said the chief labor diffi culties In shipbuilding had occurred on the "dry" territory. It was brought out that 125,265 men are employed at shipyards in prohibition states, and 290,157 in "wet" terri tory. Mr. Hurley and other officials ap peared to support the statement made several days ago by Bainbridge Colby, member of the Shipping Board, which led the committee to reopen hearings on the Jones pro- \ hlbltion amendment to the emer- | gency agriculture bill. Mr. Colby told j the committee that to take light wines and beer from the workingmen would reduce the output of American shipyards twenty-five per cent. "If merely private interests were affected," Mr. Hurley said, "I have no hesitancy in saying that I would welcome the prohibition experiment. Any temporary disorganization it might cause would have Its compen sation." Bankers Favor I > rolilhltion Mr. Johnston estimated there are 250,000,000 gallons of distilled liquors valued at $500,000,000 against which there is between $200,000,000 and $250,000,000 outstanding obligations. 1 Bankers favor prohibition, he said, but they want to see it brought bout without financial loss and probably fifteen months would be re quired to do that. Secretary Daniels appeared to ad vocate prohibition. He said his dry order in the Navy resulted in In '•rpased efficiency and proved its i value. "If you say we must have saloons outside the doors of the navy .yards to increase efficiency of the workmen," he added, "you can say it is necessary for the men in uniform 'to have liquor. Gompers Fears Diseord Organized labor is overwhelming ly opposed to absolute prohibition ind to bring up the question now is to "throw the apple of discord among fhb people of the country," said Sam uel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor.

ALLIES GIRDING FOR BICT DRIVE, HOUSE IS TOLD Mighty Preparation to Justify the $5,500,000,000 Appropriation Washington, June 25. —The Allies have made preparations for a great offensive against the Germans. Rep resentative Borland, of Missouri, told the House yesterday In opening dis cussion on the $5,600,000,000 forti fications bill. He declared it was "inadvisable" to say when the offen sive might be launched, but said all of the big guns available from the navy's reserve stock, obsolete navy guns and heavy guns from the sea coast defenses of the United States have been converted and shipped to Prance in preparation for the allied drive. The inter-allied war conference fearedJthe French gun and ammuni tion plants might be captured in the recent German drive, he said, and on recommendation of General Per shing provisions were made in ihe fortifications bill that would enable this country to supply the Allied armies with all the guns and shells needed to win the war. In further explaining the bill as he reported it from the Appropria tions Committee, Representative Borland said it provided for equip ping three entire armies, or a total of 4,125,000 men, in addition to those sent to France this year, more pow erfully than the German armies were ever equipped. The program, he said, calls for these armies to be sent overseas by January 1, 1920. War-Tide Turned, Washington View Washington, June 25.

STENOTYPE SCHOOLS BEST FOR BOOKKEEPING & SHORTHAND TOO By ft. M. llowen, President The Stenotype Co. TO AMERICA'S AMBITIOUS YOUNG PEOPLE— In deciding on a school —whether it be for shorthand, book keeping, higher accounting, banking, commercial law, bus iness letter writing, Stenotypy—the machine way ih short- , hand —or any other commercial course, go to a school which lias been authorized to teach Stenotypy. WHY? Business schools teaching Stenotypy are the cream of the nation's business colleges. Only the BEST schools are PERMITTED to teach Stenotypy. And the Stenotype Com pany alone controls the giving of that privilege. Their teaching standards, service and standing—the repu tation and the character of the men and the Women at the heads of these schools—have been carefully Investigated by us. It was only after they were able to satisfy our exact ing requirements that the privilege to teach Stenotypy was granted. So, if only the best schools are permitted to teach Stenotypy, they are the best for bookkeeping, shorthand and other commercial subjects, too. WE TEACH STENOTYPY.
