constellation which entered Us an
nual ascension at the Eugene theater
List night. Two or three remarkable
voices stood out above all the others.
Probably no Oregon club has had
such a pair of baritones as Albert
Gillette and William Vawter. the one
of Eugene, for several years th. ob
ject of local admiration, the other of
Medford, a brother of Vernon Vaw
ter, who, too, was a glee club man of
not..
"The two voices thrilled, but each
thrilled different emotions. Vawter
Bang the "Pong of th. Sword." by
nougn-Leitner, and the sword was
keen. It moved like a "Flash of light,"
the spirit of fight was there, the ex
pression painted pictures, the volume
was varied as with the stops In s
great pipe organ. To Albert Gillette's
clear, mellow voice responded a re
action of warmth.
"These and one other voice formed
the musical features of the whole en-
tertnlnment. The other was that of
Paul Pprague, a tenor who rings
tiue. He sang the "Songs of Araby,"
by Clay, and those who heard him
for the first time marveled.
"The other two delicacies In the
glee club menu, possibly more hearty
thnn the others, were the comedy
parts, Bert Jerard and Mcrwln Pat
Icy. They were real live funmakers.
If one sang, tho other not waltlna
for him to finish, tackled the rlano
wit!) n gusto quite as versatile as
tho other. They took turns In the
center of the stage and no one wan
more sorry to see the close of their
number than any one of the Orpheum
sketches on the same stage several
weeks ago."

When you first catch a Cold (often

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 The
Hobson resolution -to submit a con-
stlttlonal amendment for national
prohibition to the state legislatures
was defeated In the house last night.
1(7 members voting for and IS)
t gainst it. An affirmative vote of
two thirds was required to adopt the
resolution.
It was at the conclusion of one of
the most stirring contests of recent
days In congress, and following votes
on several amendments that the final
vote was reached. Representative
Hobson had closed the general debate
participated In by all the house lead
ers, many or whom were repeaieaiy
cheered by men and women In the
crowded galleries. Speaker Clark re
peatedly admonished thje spectators to
maintain order.
lAfic of Two-Third Conceded.
Although advocates of the Hobson
resolution freely predicted It would
receive a majority vote many of them
including Mr. Hobson, had conceded
at the start that the resolution would
not receive the two-thirds vote neces
sary for Its adoption.
Before the final roll call, Represen
tative Hobson presented an amena-
ment, which was adopted, giving to
"the congress and the states concur
rently" the power to enforce the pro
hibition by needful legislation.
An amendment offered by Repre
sentative Adamson to give the states
absolute control of prohibiting under
the proposed prohibition amendment
was voted down on a rising vte, 1"9
to 32.
Hobson Make Dramatic Appeal.
As a vote was ordered on the reso
lution itself, ' Representative Hobson
made a final dramatic move.
"Mr. Speaker," he said. "I wish to;
nek whether any member of this
house who has a financial interest in
the question now pending, who owns
stock in distilleries or breweries, who
owns a saloon or who has property
leased to liquor Interests can under
the rules vote on this question?"
The speaker explained that the pre
cedents held that If a member was
affected as one of a class, the rule
would not prevent his voting, but
that such questions were usually left
to the member himself.

Stories From the War Zone
ROME. Nov. 15. (By mall to New
Tork.) The federal council of Ger
many has adopted rigorous measures
for conserving Germany's cereal sup
ply during the present war, accord
ing to advices here. Statistics just
completed by experts establish that
n the basis now provided for Ger
many will have no difficulty In set
ting along until next year's crops are
harvested.
One of the new measures enacted
by the federal council provides that
all millers shall grind wheat to the
extent that 75 per cent of it become
flour. This does away with the waste
that ensues In the grinding of fine
quantities of flour. The percentage
tor rye Is fixed at 70 per cent.
All hakers are ordered to mix
with wheat flour at least 10 per cent
of rye flour. Five per cent of pota
toes must also be mixed In bread and
made exclusively of rye flour and
'his may even be Increased up to 20
per cent. On bread of this kind the
baker are required to place the let
ter "K," Indicating that potatoes ar
used in Its manufacture but they are
not required to state to what extent
Failure to exact this has already caus
ed considerable protest by the public
who say that bakers can thus charge
the same price for 20 per cent "spud"
bread as for the 5 per cent variety.
The feeding to animals of grains
which can be made into bread ha
also been prohibited. An exception
has been made in the case of small
land proprietors who wish to fatten
their livestock. They can feed a!
small amount of rye If it has been
grown on their ow-n land.
Owing to the fact that the potato
nipply Is somewhat short this year,
a shortage which will be Increased by
the fact that they must also be used
In bread making, has also resulted in
testrlctive measures to conserve them.
The use of potatoes In the making of
splrltj is limited to 60 per cent of
tho lisual amount.
lntor nrtil others
fro,,, wlth.lrswln craln from the!
marktt in order to hold It for high-
ei prkes. a number of measures have
leen enacted permitting the govern
ment to approprlat all such grain.
Trices have also been fixed for an en
lire year in advance In order to di
minish further the possibility of spec
ulation. These prices vary according to lo
cality, the highest being nt Berlin
arid the lowest at Bromberg In Bos
nanla. Th prices In vogue now will
continue without change till the first
of the year. After that there will bi
nn Increase of 36 cents a ton every
two weeks.
On this bals the experts estimate
that the present rye supply will last
till September 1. liu.i nnd tli
w neat
sv.rply till the first of Ansust. O.
barley there is plenty for the arm ,
ind no restrictions have been placed
on Its consumption.

unanimous In upholding the measures
thus enacted. They declare it la the
first duty of the government to thus
provide for the feeding of the army
on which the national existence de
pends. They also call upon the rich
to give up the eating of whole wheat
I'read and to use the same rye and
potato mixed composition as the
masses. This they declare, would be
Jin act of patriotism which they real
:y owe the country and the army.
GENEVA, Nov. 12. (By mall to
N:w York.) A letter from hl fiancee
fc.uno on a young German officer ta
Ken risoner near Belfort reads;
"What are you all doing still In
Alsace since Belfast has been taken
by our brave army? Three times!
you have told me you were on the I
way to Paris and hoped to enter the,
French capital soon, but perhaps yon.
will be already there before th!a;

"If so. dear, don't forget to carture
the beautiful furs and the pearls we
aw together last summer In the Rue
tie la Falx. They were lovely and
vl'd attract much notice here when
fill our enemies are beaten and peace
Is made at Christmas."

Gen. Gustave Golta, In command of

our sharpshooters were not capable!
