BEGINS TOMORROW
District to Start Action
Against Alleged Violations of
JOneS-Works Law.

The District of Columbia tomorrow
is actually to begin it's legal battle
against liquor dealers who are alleged
to be operating in violation of the
Jones' Works law.
Fourteen informations We're pre-
pared today for fling in Police Court

Counsel Francis II. Stephens. who will
be in charge of the prosecutions. He
declined to make known the names of
the alleged offenders until warrants
have been placed in the hands of po-
licemen in the various precincts who
will serve them.
1t is understood that prominent
hotel and club are listed for prosecu-
ton.
Alleged Offenders Operating.
All of the alleged offenders are
operating under licenses granted by the
excise board. but the position of the
District and likewise the Anti-Saloon
League is that the licenses are void
in that they We're issued in violation
of express provisions of the Jones
Works law.
1t is understood that the litigation
begun today eventually will he carried
to the District Court of Appeals. Nei-
ther side will stop with a defeat in the
Police Court.
The cases to be filed are for the pur-
pose of testing the law. and do not
begin to represent the total number Of
places considered by the nti-Saloon
League to be operating in violation of
the law In fact, the claim of this or
ganiZation is that about one-fourth of
the capitals liquor establishments
were illegally licensed.

equally vain attempt to force pas
sage of the User at DiXmude.
Belgian shells and bombs destroyed
pontoon bridges as soon as they were
in position and the gallant Belgian
army still holds it's lines intact"
That the fighting in the western
arena is fierce at certain points is in
dicated by the German official state
ment. which declares that the allies
have attacked without interruption the
German positions on the west bank of
the canal north of Ypres and on the
Yperlee brook near Steenstraete. That
these attacks have failed is Berlin's
claim East of the canal joint at
tack by French. Algerians and British
troops is sid to have resulted in ex-
tremely heavy losses for the allies.
On the heights of the Meuse, Berlin
declares, the German forces have car
ried their positions forward about one
hundred meters.
