Prohibition Gains Ground Amid War News and Protests
Editorial notes Georgia ratifying the National Prohibition Amendment and predicts national prohibition. It praises Senator Tillman, discusses Wilson's reelection, and McAdoo as a potential successor. Reports U.S. troops in France rise to over 2.17 million, and a one million army there with more en route. Calls for government takeover of telegraph lines, condemns German submarine attacks on a Canadian hospital ship, and criticizes big profiteers in meat packing. Attacks German brewers and supports closing breweries and saloons to aid war effort.
