Rapid Rise nle incident to the upheaval of 1!VJ and Ihe election of senators by pop ular Mite, Chamberlain had the good fortune to gain the chaii-mutiship of the committee7 on military affairs, second plal-e' on Ihe committee on agriculture and membership in fifth rank on the committee on appropria tions nil nt Ihe end, of bis first term. And as these committees hnve had to drill with war and war's prob lems he became at once n large lae tor in uatiouiil legislation. Oregon may well lake pride in his vise and distinction nnd the tn-inncr in which he has acquitted himself in the crisis nnd crises. A innn of vision and foresight. Chamberlain early uri:sod the )ieril of the international situation nnd the pro-sins, iinH"itive need of adequate military pntn redness. While (lie hou-e eoininiltee, fceblv CHICHESTER S PILLS manned, -wuh formulating; crude had impossible army policies and, yas at odds with the administration and war department, tli senate committee, under the direction of C'liamlicrlain, was accomplishing- real constructive work and producing results. It evolved an nrnry reorg-itniz.-rlion measure that, in the ' miiin, c.om- munded approval anj- ciurMinent into law. - -..-.-. From the very inception of war, Chamberlain has been a stanch, tin wuvcrinr administration senator and a worker. Dilatoriness has had no contribution from liini or his com mittee, and Majority Leader M.irtin has ever hud in him a ready nnd forceful coadjutor 'in' expediting war legislation. Indeed, Chamberlain has shared leadership throughout this war Kession. Recalcitrancy on the democratic side of the chamber has rendered tlie situation most difficult to linnillc. 1 : Ho has a seat of Vantage, (lie first hi the front row immediately before the presiding; officer, in close touch with Martin, but one sent removed and when not occupied in committee g-ivcs nlert nttention to senate pro ceedings nnd the advancement of nc tion.

The regulations prohibit the expor tation of nearly ell sorts of 'machin ery .nautical and surgical fnstru meats, musical wind Instruments and window panes, door wanes and pic ture frames "which contain any other base metal than Iron." Other articles Included In the list are pine cones, rag pulp, wooden or fibre shoe sqles, telephone and tele graph apparatus and "cloctro technic special apparatus not specially desig nated," and ralfoad and street rail way coaches. The purpose of the new prohibition evidently is to prevent brass, lead copper, nickel and other .base motnls leaving the country. ' , . PREPARE 10 TRAIN -i WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.

National prohibition by constitutional amend ment was hung up in flic houso today by the prohibition leaders them selves. The 'resolution to "submit the pro posal to- the states passed yesterday by the scnute was put out of the pro gram for the present "session and will not come up until 'the regular session in December. Plans to reconvene the democratic caucus and reverse its decision to consider only war legislation were abandoned because it was believed delaying action until the noSit ses sion will help the prohibition cause. ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. The fate of the senate resolution provid ing for a. .nation-wide prohibition amendment to the constitution today restH with the house. If the house approves by a two-thirds vote, the new amendment will then "go to the states for ratification. ' The resolution passed the senate yesterday by a'. vote of 8" lo 20, eight more thnn the1 necessary two thirds, nnd today house dry lenders were preparing to ' press . for .its prompt consideration there. They cTiiiin it will pass. The'only change rhnde in the reso lution us originally reported to the senate was the adoption of an amendment providing that flic con stitutional amendment should be in operative unless ratified by three fourths of the ' states within six years from' the date of its submis sion. House prohibitionists 'expressed fear today that owing to the recent decision of 'the democratic caucus to consider' only war legislation nt this session they would be unable to bring the resolution to n vote.' Ev ery effort was to -be made to con vene another caucus.' to' reconsider tho decision, but the' oiit!ook; for fa vorable action was diirlt. ,Wcts de clared that only a personal appeal from President 'Wilson for house no tion on the resolution would ennse the caucus to reverse itself.: ' This was nob expected. t j I SLACKERS TO LOSE WASHINGTON, Aug, 2. hun dreds of men in the chief cities of tho country, rcorts tb the depart ment of justice show, gave fietitions addresses for draft registration and lire now being sought by government agents.

According to Americans here, who tort red the scene of the fighting, the entire region has been turned into a desert. The Russian retreat from the Du najec In 1915 was accompanied by the complete devastation of the country, from the Carpathians to" the present Russian positions. Not a house or barn was left. .In a distance of 400 miles traveled by an American of the Belgian relief commission not so much as a chicken was seen In the way ot livestock. Made a Desert Wnste, ' In 1916 Brussiloff's advance swept over the country again, destroying the few feeble attcmp; to grow crops. Over 3,COO, 000 people are believed to have starved in that region, and una ble to flee to refuge last enough to get in the rear of the retreating ar mies. Hardly a child under three years of age was left alive as there was no milk or butterfat. The great wheat region of Russia ts far lo the southwest. But even in this reilon there Is probably little grain. One of the standing war myths is the idea tbat huge stores of grain are locffed- up la Russia, to feed the world If the Dardanelles were blasted open, ' Americans who have been In the black earth region of Russia say there are few. If any, surplus stock. Xo Transportation. Russian railways broke down two years ago and there has ueen only enough transportation barely to sup ply the army, operating in the poorer parts of the country ruined by war. The grain stored In the crude peas ant sheds has rotted. ' Millions of bushels wasted because there was no way to get it to market. Even Odessa, the great Black sea wheat port of Russia, has been on short rations, thd only a four miles from the wheat belt. r Petrograd and all the-great cities have felt the pinch. The best source of supply has been far Siberia, where tho International Harvester company has erected a chain ot modern wheat elevators along the Trans-Siberian railway. . ' - ' The rang haul on this grain has made the supply all too scanty. ' The Trans-Siberian railroad and the great trunk line to the Arctic port of Arch angel are the only Russian roads In any cort of condition. The lighter roads in the.wheat bolt of the south are almost Junked., i. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 2.
