DRY MEASURE
UP IN CONGRESS-
House Committee Votes TO
Recommend Prohibition
CAPITAL AGOG OVER ACTION
immigration Bill Passes Senate by
Overwhelming Vote; Measure Con-
tains Restrictive Literacy Test.

Nationwide prohibition took long
stride toward congressional considera-
| ton when the house judiciary commit
/ tee Unexpectedly voted to recommend
adoption of the resolution to submit a
constitutional amendment fOrbidding
| the manufacture and sale of liquor for
/ beverage purposes in the United States.
| Even the most enthusiastic champions
of the amendment had not expected
| favorable action so soon from the
| committee, which at the last session
voted to postpone its consideration in
definitely.
| Coincident with the committees ac-
| ton on the amendment, the prohibit
| ton issue was brought directly to the
/ attention Of the senate when the Shep-
pard bill to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the District of
Columbia became the unfinished bust
ness to be kept before the senate until
/ disposed Of. AS an amendment to
this bill Senator Underwood has pro-
posed referendum to the male
voters to the district. Senator Kern
Of Indiana has added a proposal that
women also should participate in the
referendum.
Seven members of the judiciary
committee voted against reporting the
prohibition amendment. They were
| Gard of Ohio, Dyer and Igoe of Mis-
| souri,, Graham and Steele of Penn
| sylvania, Walsh of Massachusetts and
Danforth of New York. Representa-
tives Eliza Williams Of Illinois and
Carlin Of Virginia, who were opposed
to the resolution at the last session
voted this time to recommend its
adoption
Woman suffrage advocates won a
partial victory in their long fight to
have the Susan B. Anthony federal
amendment voted on in congress,
when the house judiciary committee
/ reported the measure for considera-
ton without recommendation. A cam
paign now viii be launched to get
special rule to bring the amendment
before the house for action, probably
some time in January.
Both sufiragjsts and anti-suffragist
expressed satisfaction over today's de-
velopment and are confident of vic
tory on the floor. The vote in favor
OF reporting the resolution, Ii to s,
does not represent the sentiment OF
the committee on the issue.
The immigration bill with the re-
strictive literacy test for aliens admis-
sion, which caused three presidents to
veto such measure, was passed by
the senate, GA to Z. The bill as
amended in the senate now goes to
conference It passed the house last
session.
Unexpected opposition was voted
down. and Senator Willard Salisbury
of Delaware was elected pro tempore
of the senate, succeeding the late

Mul0iaHrS Go to Death When
Torpedo Wrecks Transport
/, .iENCH WARSHIP DAMAGED
Berlin Reports That Vessel of Patrie
Glass Was Torpedoed In Mediter-
ranean and Badly Crippled.

Seventeen American muleteers
have been killed and eleven of the
crew Of the British horse transport
ship Russian, which was sunk by a
submarine in the Mediterranean on
Dec. IA. The British admiralty makes
this announcement.
The announcement follows:
"The empty westbound British horse
transport ship Russian was sunk by a
submarine in the Mediterranean on
the 14th. Eleven of the crew were
killed, including the chief officer, the
first officer and the second officer. Also
seventeen American muleteers were
killed. Their names have been COM
municated to the American consul"
The transport Russian referred to
probably is the British steamer of that
name which sailed from Newport
News Nov. 16 for Alexandria, Egypt,
which would be about due to return.
Her net tonnage was 5,753.

Fighting Need Not Stop. Saws Kaiser.

Telegraphing from Copenhagen, the
correspondent of the Exchange Tele-
graph company quotes the Frankfurter
Zeitung as saying:
Germany does not want a cessation
of fighting but merely a conference
at which all the belligerents shall OPP
emily state their peace proposals.
"a conference will be held at The
Hague about Jan. 49, While the CON
ference is in session all the bellig-
erents will be allowed to continue mil
itary operations"
Some sections Of the foreign press.
and especially newspapers in hos
tile countries, says the Overseas
News agency in Berlin. having de
clared that the central powers ought
to have added definite peace proposals
to their peace offer, the Overseas
News agency asked distinguished
German diplomat for his opinion on
this point. His answer was:
"The German note tC the entente
governments contains a very definite
communication as to the spirit of the
peace conditions which the central
powers would bring to the proposed
negotiations.
"The central powers base their pro
posals on the conviction that their
own rights and just claims today are
not in contradiction to the rights of
other nations. In addition the cen
trail powers declare they do not want
to annihilate or destroy anybody and
that the peace proposals will be of
such nature rs to guarantee the es-
adjustment of lasting peace.
ITO 60 further in outlining the
peace conditions would have meant
handicap to the central powers in case
Contrary to what acme newspapers in
hostile countrie. have iaclaredJ, tie
hostile governments decided to enter
into negotiations or discussions It is
a self-evident truth that nobody could
come to such negotiations with tied
hands while he hands of the other

WILSON DECIDES NOT TO ACT
President Wilson and Cabinet Hold
Three-Hour Session Discussing
Peace Proposals and Its Possibilities

The Russian duma has unanimously
passed resolution against the ac-
ceptance of the German peace pro-
po52ls, after a spirited speech by the
minister of foreign affairs.
The text of the resolution, as re-
ceived here follows:
1.-THE duma, having heard the state
ment by the minister of foreign af-
fairs, unanimously favors a cacegori-
cal refusal by the allied governments
to enter, under present conditions,
into any peace negotiations whatever.
at considers that the German pro-
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof of the weakness of the enemy
and hypOcritical act from which the
enemy expects no real success, but by
which it seeks to throw upon others
the rcspon .DIity for the war and for
what happoAed during it, and to ex-
culpate itself before public opinion in
Germany"
