VETS AND DRYS
CLAIM VICTORY
Administration Leaders Fail
in Effort to Set Time
For Vote
By Associatcd PrcSs


Washington, July 3.-Holding the
new cloture rule in reserve, admin
istration Senators to-day made an
other futile attempt to getbthe op-
ponents of the food bill to voluntar-
lily agree on a time for a vote.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge OF
the bill, warned the Senate that more
than two weeks have already been
used up in discussion and that he
believed all Senators who intended
making speeches had done so. He
asked for u vote on the bill to-day
at p. m.
Senator Penrose at once objected,
declaring that he favored free and
fair discussion" and objected to "the
use of the steam roller" in forcing
the bill.
Claim Victory
Senator Chamberlain replied thaI
it was not his purpose to urge the
use of the steam roller" and lie had
no desire to ''implicate that there
has been any filibuster."
Senator Jones, of Washington, in
terrupted to say that he hoped the
press of the country would not say
that the friends of temperance arc
opposing the progress of the bill"
Leaders of both wet" and dry
factions claim victory in the impend-
ing fight over authorizing the Presi-
dent to deal with light beverages
The prohibition issue will come to
the fore the latter part of the week.

Two Aged Prisoners
"Wander Away

Sacramento. Cal. July 3. : Dick
Larkin, rs years old, and Bill Nye,
with the SHOWS of 73 years upon his
head wandered away from Folsom
prison yesterday. Dick had lived
there, off and on, for thirty-seven
years and should know the way home.
Bill was sojourning for a period of
fourteen years. Both are expected
back tomorrow. because the prison
authorities think they won't know
where else to go.
In private life Dick has been
known as thief. Hence his frequent
periods of incarceration. Bill was
mixed up in an unpleasant manslaugh-
ter matter, but has nearly lived 1t
down. according to the mandates of
the State. They are thought to be on
a short holiday and the wardens hope
they will obviate the bothersome de-
tail of going after. them; The aged
prison farm. Both have been eligible
to parole for some time.

The population of Ireland con-
tinues to decrease, France is station

fall in. the growth of the populations
OF Norway and Scotland. Germany
shows the highest rate of increase
in Europe, while in the British en-
pire abnormal rates of growth are
shown in Canada and New Zealand.
In all English counties, births in
the ten intercensal years outnumber-
ed deaths, yet in siX-London, Cum

There Is striking increase in the

The Russian artillery is plentifully
supplied with ammunition for the
important work at hand. The sup
ply department was the weakest of
any during the old regime, causing
many a breakdown for which the
fighting forces were not responsible.
The deficiency in this respect now
seems to have been thoroughly rem
edied. Petrograd advices declare the
preparations as regards munitions
and equipment were better for this
offensive than for any preceding op-
Grafton in the whole war.
The military movements on other
war fronts are dwarfed in impor-
tance by the Russian drive. There
is, nevertheless, considerable activ-
ity on the Aisne and Verdun fronts
in Northern France, where the Ger
mans are continuing their persistent
attacks. General Petain's forces are
holding firm, however, and all the
Crown Princes attempts of last
night, including a sharp drive be-
tween Hill 304 and Avocourt Wood
in the Verdun region, were conf
pletely checked.
