This amendment was offered in the
Senate last week and defeated. It Is
likely that it will be unfavorably re-
ported by the committee now con-
sidering it and voted down by the
House.
Mr.. Gordon's second amendment
proposes the appointment of a pur-
chasing agent through whom all de-
string to take advantage of the month
ly allowance offered by the bill shall
buy their whiskey. The purchasing
agent is to be under the direction OF
the Moral Welfare Commissioner, Is
to keep careful record Of all pur-
chases and must by law keep all his
books open for inspection.
Both amendments were opposed by
DR.. James Cannon, superintendent OF
the Anti-Saloon League, and by Wal
ter Mapp senator from Accomac. The
point was made that if the Attorney
General were made ex otIicio moral
welfare commissioner the Anti-Saloon
League and the liquor question would
be thrown into politics. The other
amendment was opposed because II
was said to be mpracticable.
One or two other amendments,
principally to protect the cider indus
try. were also considered. The bill, as
It now stands, prohibits the manufac-
ture and sale of alcoholic cider. 1t

ment will be favorably reported.

HOLDING ENEMY BACK
Teutons Allege They Have Passed
Dicppe and Two Other Towns and
Taken Two Others

With the lessening OF the activity
of the contending forces to the north
of Verdun, the French in the Woevre
region, east of Verdun, are using their
artillery to break up German prepara-
tions for further advances toward the
fortress. At various points the fire OF
the French guns has prevented the
Germans from launching offensives.
In the Vosges mountains there also
has been great artiller yactivity by
the French near Senones and Band
de-Sapt; while near Seppois the Ger
, mans have been driven out of trench
es they had previously taken. In the
Champagne, German fortified works
in the region of Hill 1913 have been
battered by the French guns and
the crater of minc exploded by the
Germans was occupied by the French.
The Germans hare added several
additional points to their terrian in
the fighting about Verdun, having
been enabled to construct trenches
on the slopes north of the cote du
Poivre and to. capture an armored
work northwest Of Douaumont, and
have taken the towns of Manheulles
and Champion, 13 miles southeast Of
Verdun.
London, March fl.-Late advices
from the scene of the gigantic con-
1ict around the forts Of Ferdun in
dicate that the Germans have made
slight gains at some points, but that
the French reinforced, are generally
holding their own. The Germans claim
that their troops have passed Dicppe
Abancourt and BlanZee and that they
have taken Manhueller and Cham
plon.
An early report from the French
War Office stated:
'To the north of Verdun the bonn
bardment has continued with increas-
ed intensity.
an the sector to the east Of the
Meuse last night there was rcsump-
tion of the previous violent local at
tacks, particularly in the vicinity OF
the village of Douaumont. where the
fighting came to hand-and-hand en-.
counters resulting in the driving back
of the enemy by our troops.
"In the Woevre district the Ger
mans were successful, after an in
tense preparatory artillery fire in
gaining possession Of the village Of
Manheulles. An immediate counter
attack on our part brought us back
to the western boundary of this vii
lage. which we now hold under our
fire.
in Lorraine the enemy was sue
cessful in penetrating several small
sections of our advance trenches, but
they were almost Immediately driven
out of these positions :.
East of the Meuse last night there
was resumption of violent local at
tacks. Near the village of Douau-
mont the fighting came to hand
to-hand encounter and the Germans
were repulsed by French troops.
