BEER AND WINE

Fiery OratOry Features
Liquor Debate In
Upper House
"The man who will pour
a soldier is worse than an
liquid hell into the bosom of
enemy."-Senator Sherman
in debate on dry bill.

WASHINGTON. July THE SEN
ate this morning faced a renewed
fight over the Cummins' amendment
to the dry provision of the food bill
which would not only prohibit the
distillation OF spirits but would for
bid the importation OF hard liquors.
and would prohibit the sale of the
stocks OF spirits now held in bond.
The amendment was adopted last
night by vote of 54 70 80 after
the senate had previously refused
TO include beer end wines in the
proposed prohibition OF spirits by
90 10 "a.
Immediately after the passage OF
the Cummins' amendment a cam
raign for reconsideration was
launched.
Senator Underwood then called
attention TO the fact this would cut
off SONG s250.000. 900 revenue. and
would choke millions of dollars in
volved in the whisky business with
out compensation 10 the manufac-
turers. He held this unconstitu-
tional.
THIS threw the senate into a small
panic Senators Brandegee, Hard.
ing and Penrose supported Under
woods contention.
Finally. the senate took an over
night recess without voting on eth.

amendments. These concern tn"

LONDON. July IA neet OF
probably 20 enemy aeroplancss
raided London today.
Lord French. commander-in-chie
of the home defense forces, made
the preliminary announcement early
today. but without giving details.
Previous TO this announcement Of
the London raid, Lord French had
issued statement saying:
AT $3.50 this morning hostile air
craft in considerable numbers and
in two parties have been sighted
Off the Isle Of Thanet and the east
coast Of Essex"
The raid on London occurred ak
10:30 o'clock.
''The enemy aircraft approached
London from the northeast and pro-
ceeded north and west" Lord
French stated. "They crossed Lon.
don from the northwest to the
southeast, dropping bombs at vari-
Gus places"
The enemy aeroplanes were A.
tackled by anti-aircraft guns. No re-
ports OF damage or casualties were
announced in Lord French's first
statement OF the TdlO.

East OF Wytschaete our line was
slightly advanced" was the Britich
mmander-in-chief's laconic report.
On Thursday Haig reported a
drive by the British which gained
them additional ground around
Hollebeke. Today's report is OF an
other push forward in practically
the same region. probably around
Oostaverne. Both cities lie in the
sharp angle formed by the River
Lys and the canal from Ypres to
Lille. The two waterways converge
