Applicants for the aviation school at
the University of Texas were received
again this morning. The number en-
listed here is below the required min-
imum and every effort is being made
to brin gthe enlistment up.
A number of applications were re-
ceived by Captain Cousins yesterday
morning and they will be acted upon
as quickly as possible. The require-
ments for this service are stringent
and it is difficult to secure men who
can meet them.
The work of the school will continue
uninterrupted. A new quota of twenty-
five men will be assigned here the first
of June. Those already here are be-

“The provisional government has the

the people and there is still hope that
it will be able to place the army on
some sort of a footing enabling it to
advance.”
The writer says there is much un-
rest among the peasantry and that
everything goes to show that they will

ties. mostly without^compensation.

LONDON, May 25,—The Petrograd
correspondent of the Times, who has
been visiting Moscow, reports that the
hope of Moscow appear to have high
hope in the coalition government which
is supported whole-heartedly by even
the burgeoise and the capitalists. He
says that newspapers of all shades
favor the continuance of the war with
the exception of the Pravda, the Petro -
gad Socialist organ, and the Socialist
papers is Moscow. These paper de-
clare that the army has tired of the
war and is on the verge of starvation
and they protest against continuing
the war -in the interest of capitalism."

Scalp Was Awfully Sore. Fiery
Red and Itched. Could Not
Sleep. Head Disfigured
and Hair Fell Out.
“Every spring my three-year-old
son’s scalp would be inflamed with
water blisters which turned to sore
eruptions. I tried everything I could
get but nothing did any good. His
scalp was awfully sore, and fiery red,
and the eruptions Itched Very badly.
• He was fretful both night and day, and
he could not sleep. His head was dis-
figured and his hair fell out.
“Then I wrote for a free sample of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. It did so
much good that I bought a fifty-cent
box of Cuticura Ointment and a twenty-
five-cent cake of Cuticura Soap, and
now his scalp is healed.” (Signed) A.

NEW YORK, May 25.—(By a Staff
Correspondent of the Associated Press
Just returned From Vienna.)—Central
Europe’s food problems during recent
months have been adversely influenced
by the fact that slowly ths railroads
are losing their efficlency and are no
longer able to do their share in the dis-
tribution of these necessities. Ths
war has made heavy demands upon the
lines and it has been impossible to
give trackage and rolling stock the
eare they require.
For almost two years now the rail-
roads have been neglected. This and
the heavy traffic over many of the
principal lines due to the war has
made the railroad system a mere
shadow of what it was formerly. Bal-
lasting has been very indifferently
done by old men, boys, women and
prisoners of’war. with the result that
the wear on the ties has been un-
usually severe, a condition which in
ha turn has caused a rapid deteriora-
tion of the rails and rolling stock.
Lack of skilled labor has prevented
the state and private railroads from
keeping the rolling stock in good re-
pair. This compelled a lessening in
the speed of trains. A reduction of
carrying capacity of the roads result-
ed from this. Locomotives especially
are in poor condition. In their cases
neglect was added to more and heavier
service. It is very doubtful whether
in all of central Europe it would be
possible today to find an engine cap-
able of performing a service within
80 per cent of its former efficiency.
This is especially noticeable in cold
weather whn the steam Issuing from
a hundred leaking joints illustrates
what pe rcent of power is derived
from the coal burned.
Hardly a week passes without some
wreck. Most of these occur to freight
trains since the sweeping reductions
in the speed of passenger trains were
made last fall. The fact that the lines
AMSTERDAM, May 18. via London.
A Vienna telegram says that in the
course of a meeting of the representa-
tives of the lower chamber, Premier
Clam-Martinio expressed the hope that
the session would proceed in a man-
ner to Increase the reputation of the
monarchy abroad. He mentioned bills
that would be submitted, including a
coalition law and one providing for
a war profit tax. The premier admit,
ted the right of the House to decide
independently what is considered nec-

MANILA, Mav 6.—Perhaps the most
remarkable development of the war
situation In the Philippine* has been
the startling unanimity with which the
Filipina leaders, newspapers and peo-
ple have taken the American attitude
as their own.
Except for the fear of one Filipino
newspaper that the war might mean
the employment of Filipino troops in
Europe, there was not a discordant
note in the loyalty given the American
cause. Every newspaper claimed the
cause of America as its own and many
of them held that the Filipino people
were ready to make any sacrifice to
help the United States, not alone
through gratitude, but through an ap-
preciation of the high-minded ideals
for which Americans had entered the
struggle.
The day after news came to Manila
of the American declaration of war,
the Filipino Veterans Assoclation,
composed of men who had fought in
the insurrection of 1900 against the
United States, offered its services in
any capacity to the governor-general.
Not a condition was attached. The
municipal board of the city of Manila,
composed of ten Filipinos elected by
Filipino voters of the capital city, took
similar action. The secretaries of the
various departments of the Philippine
government form practically the
Philippine government. They and their
assistants run th executive and. ad-
ministrative side of the government.
They are all Filipinos and they, too.
rose to the opportunity. At a joint
meeting they pledged their own loyalty
and that of the Philippine people and
offered their co-operation in any war
measures the chief, executive might
decide upon.
P. Lambeck, assistant engineer, 1207

increase* the difficulty of the traffic
situation. Last winter thousands of
ton* of potatoes and other vegetable*
were ruined in this manner, trains
ha vine to be side-tracked for days in
order to clear other lines of wrecks
and then permit delayed military
transports to pass. Many of the lines
must be entirely relad with ties and
rails before a normal traffic can be
coftducted over them. While the war
lasts this work can not be done and
with each day the depredation in-
creases in almost geometrical propor-
tions. The yards of most railroad cen-
ters are clogged with rolling stock
which is no longer serviceable. Should
the war last another two years central
Europe will be obliged to completely
re-equlp most of Its Unes.

An Investigation of the Results in Nineteen “Dry” States
Nation-wide prohibition as a war measure would affect everybody in the United States. The good results
of such a policy have been praised edntinuously in the press of the belligerent countries, and are cited in Amerca
by prohibition advocates to explain the great strides of the "dry” movement in the United States, during the
past two years.
To get a true conception of what citizens of the "dry” States have experienced under prohibition law, THE
. LITERARY DIGEST made a strictly impartial inquiry in all the States that have had prohibition laws of the one
kind or another in operation for not less than one year. Two questions were asked' of the representatives of
public opinion in these commonwealths—the editors of the press: First: Whether In Their State Prohibition Is
a Success Second: Whether They Would Recommend it to Other States? From nineteen States, 157 replies
have been received. *
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for May 26th, the results of this nation-wide canvass is shown. This is the
first non-partisan investigation of the kind ever made. The result is most illuminating, and will interest every
one from brewers to bishope. ' •
