Virginia Congressman voted for the
submission of the amendment. except
Congressman Carlin. of Alexandria

amendment to the several States Of

sidered themselves to he the repre-
sentatives of the people of Virginia
and as Virginia had voted for Prohi
bition by large majority, they
thought they should represent th'
wishes of their people in Congress.

RUSSIANS MAKE
INVASION DEAR
Cars Troops Make Violent
Attacks Eastward Of
Sereth River
ADVANCE SLACKENED'
Field Marshal Won Hindenbui rs
Right Wing But Il Short Distanct
From the Niemen.

London, Sept. Further evidence
of the determination of the Russians
TO hold what little of Galiclan terri
tory is still in their hands and where
ever forced to retreat to render the
gains of the Austro-Germans as cost
" as possible in men and material,
is given in the Austrian war otiice
statement issued in Vienna.
This statement tells of a repetition
of violent Russian attacks to the east
of the Sereth River, though it adds
that '.the enemy was repulsed every
where. " 4 slackening of the Russian
offense east of Brody and West
Dubno also is reported by the Aus
trian war office.
According to the official German re-
port there is mo change in the Bal
tic to to the eastward Of Grodno.
This indicates that the advance of
the Teutonic ALLIES is markedly slow
as compared with their steady onward
dash of the month past. Some Mill
tary critics infer from this that t1eId
Marshall Won Hindenhurg has decided
to give his armies on the front brlcf
but much needed rest by reducing
the tempus of the march. Reconstruc-
ton and further building up Of the
communications also is believed to
have to do with the new lull.
The Germans apparently have 70!
been able to follow up by further pro-
gress toward Riga their capture last
Thursday Of the important bridgchead
9 of Friedrichstadt. In this particula"
region there can he no question ~
the Teuton intention to dash ahead
toward the Russian Baltic seaport and
10 permit 10 considerations to inter
fere with their onward movement 1t
is therefore to he presumed that the
Russians arc putting up d strong and
stubborn resistance. resolved to hold
the port at all odds. Dispatches from
Copcnhagcn tell of new entrance OF
German warsIipS in the Gulf of Riga,
driving Russian ships before them.
This is taken by some military oh
servers to mean that the Germans are
preparing for join land and sea at
tack upon Riga. General Won Beseler,
called "thc battcring ram" in reco@-
milton of his capture of Antwerp anG
Novo Gcorgevsk is to direct the land
bomhardmcnt.
Field Marshal: Won Hindenbnrg's
right wing is reported by Berlin to
be approaching the Nieman in its
drive on Vilpa. Advance of Prince
Lcopold's armies across the RoS ana
through the swamps northeast Of
prushovy also is reported by the Ger
man war office as is progress Of Won
Mackcnscn's forces toward PinSk.
In the Austrian official statement
the capture of the last Russian forti.
fed positions south of the Jasiolda
River is reported and is regarded rs
significant.
Dispatches from Pctrograd stale
that General Alexis Evert who has
been in command Of one OF the Rus
sian armies. has been appointed to
succeed General Alexieff as command

These communications, now streak

According to the police, one Of
.hese letters was in the handwriting
u Mrs. Mohr. The other. III their OPP

vas written at Mrs. Mohr's direction.
Neither OF these letters contains any
hing more than to ask Brown to get
