SENATE STRONG FOR

Washington, .(fay 24 . An over -
whelming desire to make the Cnlted
States "dry," at least partly, de-1
veloped In the senate today.
When the food control legislation
came up for a discussion it met a
flood of amendmenta designed to cut
off everything In the way of stim
ulants. Among them were:
.An amendment by Senator Jones,
Washington, empowering President
Wilson to commandeer all Intoxicat
ing liquors In the country to redis
till them for use In munitions man
ufacture. A second amendment by Jones
prohibiting use of grains and other
foodstuffs In manufacture of any In
toxicants for use other than In the
manufacture' of munitions or for
mechanical and medicinal purposes.
There were other amendments by
Senators Thompson, Cummins and
Wadsworth.
The senate displayed -the mood to
grant some form of "war prohibi
tion." "Drys" are absolutely con
fident that manufacture of distilled
spirits, at least, will be stopped.
