HOUSE APPROVES
SENATE MEASURE
FOR PROHIBITION.
Wild Demonstration Takes Place
in House When Speaker
Announces Result.
SENATE APPROVES.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The con.
stitutionaI anne ndment for nation
al prohibition was today finally
submitted by congress to the
states for ratification or rejection
within seven years. The senate
completed congressional action by
accepting the resolution az passed
yesterday, AZ to 8, without roll
call.
On a test vote today indicating
sentiment in the house toward the
Woman's suffrage constitutional
amendment, the suffragists polied
more than a two thirds vote.
The question was on referring suf-
frage resolutions to the new WON.
ans suffrage committee as the
sufragists wished, instead Of the
elections committee as the anti.
suffragists asked.
Vote in tho house on the WON.
ans suffrage constitutional amend.
ment will be taken on Thursday,
January 10th, it was agreed upon
today by the rules committee.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Nation-widt
prohibition won in the house yesterday
and only the adjustment of a sligh,
difference in resolutions between the
house and senate now stands in the
way of submitting to state Legislators
an amendment to the federal consti
tuition forbidding the manufacture
sale or importation of intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes in the
United States or its territories.
The vote in the house, taken after
a day of debate before crowded gal
leries was 2S2 to 128, with the parties
dividing almost evenly. The margin OF
prohibition was just eight votes
more than the necessary twoe-tehirds
of the membership of the house re-
quired for adoption, and 26 more than
etwo-thirds Of those voting.
Both Sides Confident.
Toth sides had been confidently
predicting victory all day, and it was
not until the last few names had been
called that the anti-prohibition forces
conceded their defeat. When Speaker
Clark announced the result the victors
were Joined by the galleries in such a
demonstration as is rarely permitte;:
in the house. Former Secretary Bry-
an, an interested spectator nearly all
day, appeared on the floor and Joined
in receiving congratulations with Rep
resentative Webb of North Carolina,
who had led the fight.
The resolution adopted by the house
is identical with that passed by the
senate last August, except that it
gives the states seven years instead

The detonation OF the explosion was
heard all over the city, and windows
were broken by the force two or three
blocks away. 1t was believed that

Germany and Austria Hungary ap

about a separate peace with the Boil
sheviki government of Russia, now
that the armistice between the coun
tries has become effective. DR.. Won
Kehlmann, the German foreign
secretary, and Count Czernin, the Aus

Brest-Litovsk today to begin negotia

.G.g A semi-official statement issued in
Vienna, declares that the Central
powers will follow up the armistice
"as speedily as possible" with peace
parleys and it is added that Bulgaria
and Turkey also will join In the nego

According to Petrograd advices,
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, has notified the allied EN-
bassies that peace negotiations are
to begin, and has asked them to par.
ticipate or state whether they wish
peace. An informal conference OF
the allied diplomats is said to have
reached no definite decision on the
subject. The Bolsaeviki government,
in a notice to foreign embassies in
Petrograd, says it considers the nues-
ton of recognition purely formal and
cares little about it. The notice de
clares that the foreign embassies must

iers, or similar courtesies will be re

 Solomon sargis, ono of the drafted men from the second exemption dis trict, Is being held at police headquar- ters pending the receipts of orders to send him to Camp Devens to begin his belated work as a member of the National Army.
 Sargis was arrested by Detective A. J. Richardson and Officer William O'Mara Saturday night on Franklin street.

After his arrest Sargis expressed a willingness to join the army.
 From information given the police by this willing prisoner the authori- ties believe that several other alleged deaerteds men of the same race as Sargis, have left the country and are now in far off Japan. Sargis claims that his fellow countrymen went to Japan, via British Columbia.

CALLS TT INSULT.
Head of Metal Workers Says Wage
 Increase Is An Insult.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-Although the new wage scale for shipyaHds in the San Francisco, Columbia river and Puget Sound districts, announced by the U. 8. Shipbuilding labor adjust ment board last night represents ad- vances of from 10 to 31 per cent. over the old scale, the leaders of the employees claim these do not meet the advance in the cost of living.
 President Dan McKillup of the Seattle metal trades union, called the decision an insult" and said he be- lieved the men would drop tools and walk out Of the yards where the steel and wooden vessels for the govern ment's new merchant fleets are on the ways.
 M. J. Mcguire, who represented the metal trades of the San Francisco Bay district in the conference said:
 There will not be many ships built under this scale," He said he be-, lieved the men of the coast yards would appeal to President Wilson.
