BATTLE OF AlsNE PASSES THROUGH NINETEENTH DAY

BATTLE FRONT VIA PARIS, Sept 30.-This is the nineteenth day of continued hard fighting along the 150 miles front from Somme to Mo sele. yet there Is no definite indica- tion of the historic battle nearing a finish.
 However there are evidences of the Germans proceeding before lE forcible and sustained pushing from the allied armies. especially on their western and eastern wings, while the center. where the Germans are more strongly entrenched than at any other point with heavy artillery, re- mains almost stationary.
 It is generally concluded by French military men that some important move must soon be made by the Ger mans who have found 1t impossible to stem the advance of the allies. though they offered sternest and most desperate resistance, sacrificing thou sands of men daily. The German wings appear to be folding back on the center, leaving them some loop holes for a backward movement by way of Rethel
 The Germans main supply base at Juniville which is protected by heavy masses of troops as it is absolutely essential that this place be held for reVictualing the German armies in northwestern France, appears to be placed in a somewhat precarious sit uation with it's single line of railroad.
 The he of battle has changed con siderably since the beginning of ac- tual contact between the two great armies. whose number and real posi- ton is not permitted to make public. The front now presents sinuious wind ings and loon inward and outward at various points in the country which is everywhere wonderfully adapted to defense
 The allies commanders are hus- banding their mems lives to the greatest possible extent by keeping . them from frontal attacks on posi- tions where the Germans are in ad Vantageous situations but whenever the plan of campagn necessitates di | rect attacks, the French and British soldiers go forward cheeriully with utmost confidence in their leaders.

RUSSIA WILL PROHIBIT SALE OF BOOZE"

PETROGRAD. VIA LONDON. Sept 30.-Minister of Finance Bark re- ceiyed an order to the effect thai the prohibition of the sale of Vodka would be continued indefinitely after the end of the war This order is based principally on the tremendous ly improved condition of the country since the empeIor issued an edict pro hibiting traffic in this liquor
 Visitors arriving from SoutherIN Russia say there is such a change in that region that the country is hard ly recognizable Peasants who before the war had fallen into hopeless in- dolence and depravity have already emerged into self respecting citizens. The effect on the character is already visible in neatly brushed clothes, in- stead of their former ragged and slovenly attire
 Huts which were formerly dilapi- dated and allowed to go without re- pairs are now kept in frst-class con dition. This startling regeneration of the peasantry. in the opinion of Rus sian authorities is likely to have an important effect on social and eco. homie conditions in all Russia.
