 OUTSKIRTS OF LENS

 The British made a brilliant attack last night during 8 blinding rain that accompanied a thunder storm, on sev- eral of the southwesterly suburbs of the great mining city, including the one known as Avion.
 All the first objectives of the attack were gained and the indications are that the British are still pushing for ward today.
 Nearly 200 prisoners already have been collected in the cages and more captives are reported on the way back from the fighting front. Several ma- chine guns also are reported taken. The fighting took place in and out among bits of ruined buildings coller- ies, pit derricks and the usual litter and paraphernalia of mining settle ment, only in this case the tangle had been made greater by the sellh fire of many months.
 The bombardment which preceded the attack was carried out on a fairly wide front and was of but slightly less intensity than that that has pre- ceded some of the greater actions on the British front.

MODIFY FOOD BILL
 PRESIDENT URGES

Washington, June 2s-President Wilson stepped into the prohibition fight over the food bill today, partly to save the measure from a row be- tween the contending factions and partly to get a law he believes the country will approve.
 The president told senate leaders he agreed with the proposal to stop manufacture of foodstuffs into whis- key and gin. but did not believe the brewing of beer and manufacture of light wines should be stopped now.
 A provision to prohibit distiIling and to empower the president to stop brewing and wine making when he considers it necessary, he told senate leaders today, he believed would satis- fly prohibitionists and the country.
 An amendment to that effect will be introduced later with prospects of adoption.
