TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, NOYE3IBER 3, 1917, 3 OHIO EXPECTED TO GO DRY ON TUESDAY Prohibition Workers Declare Illinois Will Join Van One Year Later.. SOLDIER VOTE RELIED ON news dispatches to convey an impres sion that the United States Is not heart and soul in the war. Official announcement that the ban has been placed on German music con firmed earlier Information that the directors had virtually decided upon this action. Among the prominent German singers who it is understood will not appear this season are Madame Ober, Madame Helma Kurt, Johannes Sembach and Carl Braun. Mesdames Hempel and Matzenauer, who, although their names are German, are said to be thoroughly loyal in their Americanism, will, it is said, appear in French and Knglish pera. The action taken by the board was announced as responsive to - a rowing sentiment against the use of the German language. It means that Wagner and Beethoven will be elimi nated from repertoire. War Plays Prominent Part as Ger man Breweries Are Reported to Be Maintained for Opera tions of Disloyalists. CHICAGO, Nov. 2. (Special.) Ohio dry on Tuesday, Xovember 6. Illinois dry the same date, one year later. The Kation dry, two years later. This is the optimistic feeling current among prohibition associations, anti ealoon leagues, and others whose dry humor is in full swing ss the state wide vote for liquor or.no liquor ap proaches in Ohio, home of 116 brew eries, 38 distilleries, and James Boyd, the. dry leader, who is confident of carrying his campaign to a, successful conclusion. Even the Kaiser is playing a part in the election, one of the hottest ever known in the state. The German-American alliance is openly charged with backing the big German brewers, and through them operating disloyalty activities. Sentiment in the matter lias been raised to a high pitch and much Is being made of the patriotic issue. Dry Army, Dry Nation, Is Cry. Soldiers in military camps, permitted to vote by mail, are expected to be a big factor in carrying the state for the drys. Their experiences in the service and the Hoover economy slogans have had effect. A dry Army being efficient, they are voting for a, dry Kation that will be efficient. Five hundred women attended the drv breakfast given for Chicago club women at Hotel La Salle. Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction at Denver, Col., was the Eiiest of honor. She spoke on "Mile-High Prohibition," meaning the prohibition fight in her home city. Mrs. Klla Stewart responded to Mrs. Bradford's address, talking from "sea level.' The advent of women into poli tics will hasten the day of prohibition he said. Mrs. Kdwin T. Johnson, president of the Chicago Woman s Club, was toast mistress. Other speakers were Harriet Vittum and Phillip Yarrow. Mrs. Fred erick A. Lorcnss headed the reception committee. Illinois Is vitally interested In the Ohio situation. A wet victory means that doubtful politicians, believing a popular reaction about to set in, will go wet, say dry leaders. A dry victory, showing that prohibition is steadily gaining, will be the last straw needed to convince them that liquor is doomed. V. Scott McBride, state superintend ent of the Illinois Anti-Saloon League, found the situation of sufficient im portance to undertake a 10-day whirl wind campaign there himself, and is addressing daily five or six big rallies, Wet Majorities Dwindle. "The dry victory coming in Ohio will break the backbone of the liquor traffic In the Nation," said George McGinnis, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League for the northern district of Illinois. "In 1914 the wets had a majority of S3. 000. This was cut in 1915 to 65,000 Ko vote was held last year, but now with the war brought to our homes and the whisky industry already killed, not only Illinois but the entire Kation will follow Ohio s example and go dry. "William Jennings Bryan says Ohio is going dry, and the country will do as Ohio has done. The facts are cor rect, but it would be more accurate to say that Ohio is doing as the entire Nation is doing, for important gains have been won all along the line. Ohio is already seven-eighths under the no-license law, by territory, and two-fifths by population, 34,500 square miles out of 40,740, and 2,000,000 out f 5,000,000 people being dry now, prac tically the entire rural section of the etate. Many years ago, when the state con stitution was adopted, the Ohioans tried (prohibition. The experiment was failure at the time, and the law was repealed within a year.' Changed con ditions make it certain that once dry now, Ohio will stay dry forever, in the opinion of anti-saloon workers. "Illinois is the next state to watch after Ohio has disposed of its fight Our state Is neither too wet for the drys to feel hopeless-, nor too dry for the wets to give up the struggle. said O. G. Christgau, editor of the "American Issue," anti-saloon weekly. "Our House is dry, our Senate wet, Of the 43 cities in the state having a population of over 8000 there are 21 dry and 22 wet. The balance is pretty even therefore, except that the trend of the times is all in favor of prohibition." FOE AT AISNE RETREATS GERMAN OFFICIAL COHMTXICATIOX ,. MAKES NO EXPLANATION.

GERMAN OPERAS BARRED METROPOLITAN ALSO WILL NOT HAVE TEUTON SINOERS. o WAR COST IS DEBATED CONGRESSMAN PREDICT? PERIOD OF UNEXAMPLED TAXATION. Mortimer Sell Iff Tells Academy of Po litical Science Members Busi ness Mast Be Nursed. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2. A general division of opinion on the question of whether American industries should be reorganized under Government auspices to concentrate its full energy upon he production of war material or whether heavy taxes be levied to meet he costs of the war under the exist- ' systom of industrial individualism featured the sessions here today of the uar finance meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Representative John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations com mittee, predicted a period of unexam pled taxation, which he said would be necessary rather than loans to meet the costs of war. Mortimer L. Schiff, of New Tork, pre senting the conservative bankers view," said there must be no tamper- ng of enterprise by unwise or unjust taxation. 'The public must not be discouraged and values must not be Jeopardized by an unfriendly attitude by the Govern ment toward business," he said. Mr. Schiff said the Government must monopolize the investment market If necessary. , The Government, he said, is entitled ta have its money requirements sup plied before, and. if need be, to the ex clusion of private enterprises or even of state3 or municipalities. 'Last, and most important, the peo ple must be taught to save and all un necessary expenditures must be avoid ed. Thrift and economy must prevail."

A Berlin dis patch says that Emperor William has telegraphed to General von Below, commanding the troops on the Italian front, congratulations for his successes against Italy, saying: "Our faithless former ally has ex perienced what German strength and German wrath can accomplish.
