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.

Gareissen made the following ex

"Our sons belonged to a peace
loving age. They had to leave loved
ones, drop prospects of careers, and
Srepare for the most infernal war
le world has ever known. They have
done this without complaint, with a
determination to put forth the best
fend highest within them. American
mothers, no matter how their hearts
may bleed, must rise to the leading
of their sons. And if those idolized
sons fall, still they must rise, keep
ing ever before them their sons who
have gone up and up. In other
words, they must be worthy of be
irg mothers of the boys of today."

man urges that the committees start
immediately. Only livewives have
been selected for the work and it is
expected that thoy will have the
whole {und solicited by the end of
the week.
"The men chosen for this work
have put over big things in short
time in former campaigns," said Mr.
Bowman to-day, "and have been
chosen because of their energy and
ability to perform public work
quickly and well. I have no doubt
that they will make a new record
this time."
The committee plans to make this
celebration the'biggest and best in
the history of the city. It is es
pecially desirous to make the city's
welcome to its loyal foreign-born
residents who are doing so much for
the success of the war warm and

that reason is to exceed all others of
its kind.

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.

Washington View
Washington, June 25. Tlie great
victory won by the Italian Army over
the Austrian forces along the whole
front of the Piave. from the Montello
to the Adriatic, is regarded by mili
tary experts here as the turning of
the tide in favor of ultimate victory
for the arms of the entente allies.
It Is not expected that the demorali
zation of the Austrlans will end the
war in 1918, as some enthusiasts were
Inclined to predicte in their joy over
the Italian victory, and military men
prefer to believe that, it will run into
1920 before there can be achieved that
kind of lasting peace with victory for
which President Wilson and entente
statesmen are determined to contend.

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.
