ducing the pay of pOstmasters, revis-

London, Dec. 18.-Herbert c. Hoo

that seven millions of humanity are In

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

London Dec 19.-Although it seems
certain the Russians are retreating and
that for the present any expectations
the allies had of an early invasion of
Germany must be dismissed. Mystery
surrounds the reported decisive Ger
man victory over the Russians that
Berlin celebrated last night.
Vienna claims the Russians have
been driven from the Carpathians from
Krcsno to Zakliczyn and two central
Poland towns stormed, but it silent
about North Poland, where the Ger
man victory is said to have been
achieved.
The German official statement dis
misses this battle with the statement
that the Germans are still pursuing
the Russians, who continue to retreat.
Perograd is silent.
Amsterdam dispatches heighten the
confusion by quoting Berlin papers
expressing disappointment that no
names Of battlefieIds, Of no list of
prisoners. and guns captured are given.
The allies offensive in the west
progresses slowly, according to a
French statement. Berlin says that
many Of the allies attacks were re-
pulsed with heavy casualties and the
loss Of some prisoners.

Prohibition Now
Before Senate and
Adoption Urged
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Shep-
pard, of Texas, co-author of the reso-
luton for national prohibition, urged
it's adoption today in the senate. Di-
recting his argument against the OBJ
lection which has been raised to the
amendment that lit is an invasion of
the rights of the state he contended
that three-fourths of the states had
right to alter the constitution to
affect the nation.
Il can understand" said he, "how
an -prohibitiOnist who believes
that no unit of government should at
tempt to stop the liquor traffic, would
oppose the adoption of the amend
ment after It's submission. l can even
conceive how extreme anti i-prOhibi
tionists who are obsessed with the
idea that the disappearance of the sa-
loon means the death of liberty, might
in the veheTnence of their opposition
to any measure coming from the other
side vote against the submission of
the amendment. But how any pro-
hibitionist honestly desiring to see the
curse uprooted can delude himself
with the idea that the right of one or
a few states to harbor the liquor traf-
fic is superior to the right of three
fourths of states to terminate 1t IN
his republic Is matter both or won
der and humiliation.
"The disposition of this prohibition
amendment is the most solemn duty
that has confronted congress since the
death Of slavery. It will determine
whether this nation is capable Of in
voking its constituent powers to con-
slider an evil which at least half the
population believed to mean the na-
tion's ruin, and to take what steps
they may deem proper for its extermi-
nation.
I'VE must array ourselves for
higher civilization or for a lower one"
The issue will not come formally
before the senate until the Hobson
resolution has been passed upon in
the house. Should the house defeat
the Hobson resolution, Senator Shep-
pard. proposes to press his resolution
Independently.
