DRY AMENDMENT
DILL INTRODUCED
IN LOWER HOUSE
Expected Measure Comes and
Is Expected to Produce Much
Argument; Many Political
Boomlets at State House.
(From a Staff CorronpondVnt.)
Lincoln, March 27. (Special.)
Members of the legislature are not
expecting enemy airplanes to fly over
the old and ancient ruins of a once
beautiful statehouse and drop bombi
upon its unprotected dome, but they
are nervous lest some deadly gaj
resolutions may be forced upon them.
Their fearr were realized today
when H. R. No. 11, a bill for the rati
fication of the national prohibition
amendment, was introduced by Nor
ton, Thomas and Hostetter this aft
ernoon in the house.
Catches 'Em Asleep.
It is said that an effort will be made
to introduce a resolution that no reso
lutions are to be considered.
Jerry Howard went over the top
this morning and got in his stock
yards resolution before the rest of the
members were awake. It met with
some opposition, but Jerry, in the
guise of the early bird, was able to
get over thi top in the mists of the
early morning hours.
Several boomlets of a political na
ture are meandering around the dark
corridors on the second floor. It is
said that some members would like
to be promoted to that celebrated
body which they cussed so heartily
and persistently during the last ses
sion, the senate.
Most prominent of these is that of
Representative George Washington
Greenwalt, statesman from Custer.
He has already filed to fill the shoes
of that other eloquent sttesman from
Custer, Senator Beat, who, if he can
beat Secretary of State Pool for the
democratic nomination for congress
in the Sixth district, will go up against
the Kinkaid choriot, which has al
ready run over so manyaspiring and
perspiring democratic statesmen up in
the short grass country.
Mr. Greenwalt ispopular with the
house members and they are all back
ing him for the senate irrespective of
party affiliations or previous condi
tion of servitude.
Mr. Greenwalt says that while he
has in the past been just a little crude
and unpolished in a sort of way, since
coming out for the senate he has be
come somewhat metropolitan' and by
brushing up against the senators dur
ing the special session he feels he will
be able to run in the same class with
Robertson, Sandall, "Doc" Wilson and
"Doc" Tanner.
What About Sandall?
It is also said that Representative
Reed of Hamilton county has his eye
on a seat in the uher end of the state
house, the seat filled by Sandall of
York the last session. It is said that
Sandall might be prevailed upon to be
a candidate for the republican nomina
tion for congress in the Fourth dis
trict or for governor, and if so. Mr.
Keed, who is also a republican, might
see the road clear to enter the race.
It is well known that Lieutenant
Governor Howard aspires to the Unit
ed States senate. Some time before
the special session is over it is ex
pected the lieutenant governor will
let the secret out, not Jrom the plat
form where he presides, but in a sort
of private grapevine confidential mes
sage. There probably are others who have
an itching for the "higher things, but
to date have not made their wants
public,
Prohibition Petition at Geneva
Geneva, March 27. Special.)-The
members of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union are making a can
vass of the city for signers to a peti
tion asking President Wilson to use

Expert Discusses Drive.
Colonel C. S. Lincoln, General
Plummer's chief of staff, discussed
the German drive in a brief address
to the Des Moines Bar association
at its annual meeting last night.
Colonel Lincoln has recently re
turned from a trip to the European
battlefields. "I don't feel alarmed
about the German advance," said
Colonel Lincoln. "There is no sign
of a break yet. After my 12 days at
the British front I felt perfectly sre
that the Germans could not break it
The lines will bend and come back
again, that is to be expected. This
is the decisive battle of the war. If
Germany wins it will be about all up
with the allies. Germany is not
whipped yet. She has 6,000,000 men
under arms and since their successes
in the east their morale is excellent.
We should not be afraid to see our
people cultivate a spirit of hatred
against the Germans. It is not the
kaiser only who is responsible for
the horrors which have been inflicted
upon France and Belgium. It is the
German race in Europe which must
be made pay for these wrongs. Be
fore this war she held us in con
tempt Lad she counted on the op
position she has incurred from this
country Belgium would never have
been invaded. We must make Ger
many take us into account when she
plans l.er . future raids upon civiliza
tion." Camp Dodgers Celebrate.

Kaiser Lovers Watched.
Secret service men are on the look
out for any kaiser lovers, who may
possibly show their true colors by
demonstrations over the onslaught
which the Germans are making now
in France. Some of the traitors are
known to have given expression of
approval when the news of gains
made by the Oerman troops were
first announced. Secret service men
are checking up on these fellows and
will make arrests.
' Police Get Slackers.
Six men charged with being draft
evaders have been turned over to the
military police at Camp Dodge. They
all now express their wish to be
given a chance to serve. They are:

"Curious"' Solder Grilled.
T. J. Olson, 26 years old, living at
Ceylon, Minn., asked so many ques
tions around Camp Dodge, especially
as to the movement of troop trains,
that the officers became suspicious.
They took him in hand and gave him
a thorough grilling.- Through tele
grams sent to his home town, how
ever, statements made by Olson were
corroborated and the officers finally
released the man. He is a carpenter

Many Want Auto Training.
Many men beyond the draft age
are anxious to get the two months'
special training in auto mechanics for
service abroad which is now being
offered to 1,500 registrants in Iowa.
Local draft boards report that many
requests are being received by them
from men who wish to get into this
service, but who are beyond the draft
age. Adjutant General Logan has
been appealed to by so many draft
boards as to whether or not it is
possible to encourage these men that
he issued a special letter to all draft
boards today stating that local boards
had no authority whatever in cases of
men not registered. In a half hour's
time today the adjutant general's of
fice received three telephone calls and
two letters from five local boards on
this question. "If these men want to
enlist they should apply to the near
est recruiting station," General Logan
declares in his letter to the boards.
