SUPREME COURT UPHOLDs
/. KENYON LAW
West Virginia's Amendment
Barring Shipments for ''Per-
SonaI Use" Also Held Valid

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-The federal
Webb-Kenyon law. designed to prevent
liquor shipments from wet to dry
states. was today declared constitutional
by the supreme court by vote of to
2, which also upheld West Virginia's
prohibition amendment prohibiting citi-
zens from receiving liquors for personal
use shipped by, common carriers in in
terStat commerce.
1t was announced that Justice Nc
Reynolds concurred in the results but
not completely in the opinion.
Justice Holmes and Van DeVenter
were the dissenting justices
The all-reaching power of govern
ment over liquor is settled said the
chief justice. There was no intention
of congress to forbid individual use of
liquor. The purpose of this act was to
cut out by the roots the practice of
permitting violation of state liquor
laws.
1--WE can have no doubt that congress
has complete authority to prevent par
alyzing of state authority.
Congress exerted a power to co-ordi-
nate the national with the state state
authority.
Under the Webb-Kenyon act there is
no power in interstate commerce to ship
liquor from one state into another to
enable it to be used in any way prohib-
tied by the state"
WEST VIRGINIA CASE
In deciding the so-called West Vir-
ginia Webb-Kenyon law" causes, the
supreme courts opinion was announced
by Chief Justice White in appeals Of
the James Clark Distilling company, of
Cumberland, Md, from dismissal of in
junction suits against the American Ex-
press company and Western Maryland
railroad, in which it was sought to COM
pei the carriers to transport liquor to
West Virginians for the latter's per-
sonal use"
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League Of America, who,
with Fred Blue, state prohibition com
missioner of West Virginia, argued the
case before the court, made this state
ment on the courts decision:
1.-The decision is a great victory for
law enforcement. The states may now
prohibit the possession, receipt, sale and
use of intoxicating liquor and not be
hampered by the agencies of interstate
commerce acting as bar-tenders to bring
the liquor into the states. The decision
is new evidence that court of last re-
sort constructs the federal constitution
from time to time so as to keep step with
progressing history

STRONGLY DEFENDED
BARRIER ON SERETH
BROKEN BY TEUTONS
Russians Driven From Ru-
manian Town of FokShani
and 1900 Prisoners and
Three Cannon Captured
(By Associated Press,)

NEW YORK, in. Field Marshal
Won MackenSen has broken through the
strongly defended barrier before the
river Sereth which the Russians had
constructed at Fokshani. has captured
that important Rumanian town, and
taken nearly 1000 prisoners and three
guns.
This notable success in~ the attack
upon the Sereth line was won by a sue
cessful thanking operation, the Berlin
report indicates.
Some nine miles northwest of FOX
shani, the dominating height of Odo-
bechti was taken by storm, giving a
vantage point for the artillery Earth
er south a passage of the river Milcovu,
which had been strongly fortified. was
forced and Teutonic columns pressed
their way in behind the former Russian
line. Giving the foe no time to place
the Fokshani-Yarestea canal position in
a state of defense, they fought their way
in further and took Fokshani.
The Russians also have lost ground
further north along the Moldavian
frontier between tn Putna and Oituz
valleys. Berlin announces. Toward the
Danube from Fokshani, however, the lat
est reports showed an important Russian
offensive which admittedly had succeed
ed in gaining ground from Won Macken-
sens forces. There are also indications
that the Russian line towards the Da-
nube, where an advance by the Austro-
German-Bulgarian armies is being press
ed, is holding more successfully.
While Fokshani is some distance south
of the river Sereth itself and the Rus
slams still have that river upon which
to fall back, the capture of the town, 1t
appears, weakens the whole Russian po-
sition in this area and makes the river
line itself more difficult to defend sue
cessfully.
While this heavy fighting has been in
progress in the Rumanian war theater
the Russians have launched an often-
sive on the extreme north OF their line
between Dvinsk and Riga. Renewing
their attack which last Friday resulted
in a gain of ground along the river Aa'
they succeeded yesterday in charging
the scope of their gain.
