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.

Chamberlain early uri:sod the )ieril

From the very inception of war,

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

WASHINGTON, .Aug. 2. Ger
'many's drive tnto Russia will not
solve her food- problem.
. 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.
