Moves to Strike Out
senator Kenyon. OF Iowa one OF
the patrons Of the Webb Kenyon law.
Thursday. as did Senators Jones and
Beck ham. But on Friday Senator
Kenyon moved TO strike out the Reed
amendment and was supported by
Senators Jones and Beckham.
Senator Jones stated that the state
Of Washington had passed "a state
wide law against manufacture and
sale. permitting limited quantity to
be imported into the state and It
was doubtful whether the law could
have been passed without that pro-
vision. Now, however, Washington
had passed bone dry law because
the people had seen the good effects
OF prohibition. He thought il would
lie wiser to defeat the Reed amend
ment because il would have tend
ency TO deter states from passing a
law prohibiting the traffic. because
this amendment would make them
bone-dry from the start.
There was quite a change in the
vote. On Thursday the amendment
was adopted by vote Of As to II:
on Friday, on a reconsideration the
vote was 81 TO IS, so that while the
amendment was adopted there was
a great division among the prohibit
ton forces, and some division among
the wet forces.
Senators Martin and swanson voted
against the amendment both times.
holding that the matter of liquor
shipment should be settled by the
several states.
The question will come W in. the
house next week and may go to con-
ftyanCe.

that there is cabal OF great news

Stone. Il believe that any one who

House Republicans tonight were

Great Britains campaign to curtaii

was disclosed in notice received to-
day at the state department from the
British foreign office cautioning ship
ping against the Use of new war
zone in the North sea. The cautionary
statement says
I'm view of the unrestricted war

and the fact that merchant ships are
constantly sunk without regard to the
ultimate safety of their crews, his
malesty's government gives notice
that on and after February I. 1917.
the aforementioned area will be rem
dered dangerous to all shipping by
operations against the enemy. and 1t
should therefore be avoided
The important naval bases on the
German coast thus cut off from direct
intercourse with the sea except
through the British danger zone
include Cuxhaven. at the mouth of

Half Dozen Small Ships Sent

rine Warfare, Raising the
Total to ll3

(By International News Servicc.)
The German crown prince has
struck o hard and successful blow
i'm the Champagne. After paving
the way for the infantry by . hur-
ricane of heavy shells and mines.
he sent his storming columns for.
ward Thursday night into the
largest action recorded On the
west front this year. He broke
through the French lines on .
front of a mile and half and to
a depth OF half q mile. Through
out the evening, and again this
morning. the French flcrccay
counter-attacked In aLtc1MptE 10
regain the lost ground. These
counter-thrusts, according to Ber-
lin. served only to add to the
French losses.
Twenty-one officers and S37 me-.
were captured by the Teutons. Tha
extraordinary ratio between officers
and men. as reported by the German
war Office indicates heavy French
losses in ranks. Berlin claims that
the German losses we're small.
Midway Between Rheims and Verdun.
The action took place south of Ri
pont. the lines stormed being on Hill
1856, less than mile east of Tahure.
and around the Maison de Cham
payne farm The scene of the fighting
Hes about midway between Rheims
and Verdun. or some thirty-five miles
west OF the latter fortress.
II is to Nerdun that the eyes OF
military observers turn as the result
of this sudden fai cup Of major ac-
ton on the west front, for the Cham
payne and Verdun fronts are closely
interdependent, particularly In Ger
man offensive movement. Success OF
such movement in the Champagne
would mean penetration southwark to
the Veriun- Paris railway. That vital
rail cut, Verdun, together with the
French southern fortress chain, would
be isolated.
The latest assaults OF the Teutons
in the Champagne is merely a re.
petition. on a larger scale, of feel
ers repeatedly put out in this area.
Hill 1855. on which the French lines
were pierced, lies on the high road
between Somme-Py and : Cernar
Somme-Py is only nine and half
miles northeast of Suippes, which is
on the Verdun- Paris rail.
Further indication OF the serious,
ness of the fighting Is the German
statement that no less than twenty
machine guns were captured.
