 WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Nation- wide prohibition won in the house to- day and only the adjustment of a slight difference in resolutions between the house and senate now stands in the way of submitting to state legislatures an amendment to the federal constitu- ton forbidding the manufacture. sale or importation of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes in the United States or it's territories.
 The vote in the house, taken after day of debate before crowded galleries. was 2S2 to 12S, with rne parties divid- Ing almost evenly. The margin for prohibition was just eight votes moro than the necessary two- thirds of the membership of the house required for adoption and 26 more than two-thirds of those voting
 Both vets and dry had been predict ing victory all day, and it was not until the last few names had been called that the anti prohibition forces con ceded their defeat. When Speaker Clark announced the result, the victors were joined by the galleries in such a demonstration as is rarely permitted in the house. Former Secretary Bryan, an interested spectator nearly all day, appeared on the floor and joined in re- ceiving congratulations with Represen- tative Webb of North carolina who led the fight. The resolution adopted by the house is identical with that passed by the senate last August, except that 1t gives the states seven years insead of six in which to ratify the amendment. Senator Sheppard, author or theereso- lution, predicted tonight that the sen ate would accept the amendment to- morrow. He said he had assurances that seven the year period would be approved and that he did not believe a roll call necessary.
 1 The presidents approval is not re- quired and the state legislatures may act as soon as they please after the signatures of the vice president and Speaker Clark have been attached to the resolution.
 Tt will be submitted tomorrow as q l Christmas present to the American people, said Senator Sheppard, and
 1 believe it will be ratified within three
 years"
 Every attempt today to put on amend
 ments to except light wines and beer
 was beaten and III democrats stood
 aligned with 157 republicans and four
 independents to win the final victory
 for the prohibitionist forces.
 While the house was debating, .. reso-
 lution by Senator Brandegee of Con-
 necticut providing a general and new
 plan for submission of constitutional
 amendments was favorably reported by
 the senate judiciary committee. It pro-
 vided that all amendments shall be
 acted upon within eight years after
 submission and. instead of acting as at present by state legislatures that
 amendments shall be submitted to vote
 of the state electors.
 The prohibition amendment probably
 will be submitted before the BrandeGee
 resolution passes and tnererore will not
 be affected by it:
 The vote follows:
