Near Braigne, on the French Left
Center, Thursday. Sept. II, via Paris,
Sept 17.-3:46 p. m.-The Germans
apparently are adept at digging them
selves in and the ground favors them
so they have made their position ex-
tremely strong. Therefore the allies
who are delivering the attack will
have a hard time to advance.
1t appears, however, that the
French and British have gained some
ground at the western end of the
battle, but slowly. Nowhere have the
allies receded an inch. On the east
ern end, owing TO the nature of the
country, they occupy an excellent po-
sition, permitting them with the fa-
vor Of fortune to drive back the Ger
mans onto the center.
Both armies in the center and at
the eastern end hold their ground
with marvellous tenacity and fighting
is so severe everywhere that casual
ties are great.
Many detachments OF German strag-
glers have been cut off.
The military authorities decline to
make known anything regarding the
number of prisoners but there are
many of them.

northeast gale near Longbraneh. \. j.,
last night, was established by life
savers at daybreak today as the

across the bow of the schooner from

the breeehes buoy line and was
dragged from the deck into the sea.

line dragging Atchison upon the
beach more dead than alive. He was
rushed to the Monmouth hospital in
tie automobile of a wealthy shore
resident. hundreds of whom lined the
the shore. Both of Atchison's shoulders
and one leg were broken. He is not
expected to live.
Besides Capt Hardy and his wife
it is believed that at least six men,
members of the crew, went down when
the lifehoat failed to weather the

Liquor Through Malls Easily

mittee of the Senate Judiciary commit
tee today heard arguments by repre-

gued in support of the resolution in
troduced by Senator Sheppard of Tex
as,
Secretary Daniels recent order
against liquor in the navy was praised
by Edwin C. Dinwiddie, representing
the National Anti Saloon League. This
order largely would be nullifed unless
national legislation against the liquor
traffic was adopted, in the opinion Of
C. S. Longacre, editor Of the Liberty
Magazine, because of officers and men
could still obtain liquor on shore.
The ease with which young boys can
get liquor through the mails under
present conditions was described by
II. T. Laughbaum, superintendent of
the Oklahoma Anti-Saloon League.
William F. Cochran of Baltimore,
member of the Anti Saloon national
headquarters committee, declared that
the business men of the country now
believe in prohibition. but that state
liquor laws are largely nullified by
lack of federal legislation. Railroad
employees on roads running from wet"
into dry" territory were classed as
distributing agents for the liquor
traffic" by Rev. Charles S. Morris of
Norfolk. Va. The witness, a Negro,
added that whiskey was the curse of
his race, and that no crimes against
white women were committed by Ne
groes before the Civil War.
Others who advocated the amend
ment included Mrs. X. l.. Stevenson,
president Of the Massachusetts, w. c.
Y. L., and H. n. Pringle of Maine.
