DISTRICT DRY FIGHT
CLIMAX THIS WEEK
Forces Are Lined Up for Liquor
Battle in the Lower Body
Next Tuesday.
REFERENDUM VOTE FIRST

The biggest question on Capitol Hill
last night was how the House would vote
when the District committee meets the
rules committee in full battle array on
the floor with the rival proposals for pro-
hibition in the District of Columbia.
The lighted tower atop the dome last
night told the city the lawmakers were
at work late on important measures, but
way down deep in the heart Of the
Congress was the worry ing knowle dye
that fierce fight is brewing on the Dis
trict dry question-and the drys are gath
ering their strength to bring the matter
to an issue before Wednesday of this
week
Rumors 1oated in and out of the House
chamber all day long. There was a
rumor that forty-five democrats had been
asked to sign a petition for caucus on
the wet and dry issue and had declined.
This probably arose from the fact that
some of the democrats are anxious to
call a caucus on general legislative mat
ters, and that many members are fearful
lest in such caucus the drys will at
tempt to bind the House democrats to
vote for the Sheppard Barkley bill with
out a referendum.

British Gain on Wo-and- One
HaIf-MiIe Front in Push for
Bapaume.
GERMANS ADMIT THEY
ABANDONED POSITION
Claim to Have Repulsed French At
tack in Champagne-Latter Sue
cessful in the Vosges.

LONDON. February 24.-The British
Bapaume received further impetus to-
day when Haig's troops smashed for
ward on a front of two and a half
miles south and north of the Ancre
and penetrated into the village of
Petit Miraumont, the southern defense
of the fortress of Miraumont. This
important success was announced by
the war office tonight.
South and southeast of Miraumont
the British lines were advanced on a
front of mile. South of Serre prog
ress was made along a front of one
and a half miles. The number of pris-
oners taken in the two attacks is not
indicated, but it is thought to have
been large.
British Line Strengthened.
The movement north of the river
straightens the British line between Serre
and Miraumont and vastly increases the
menace to both positions. The success on
the southern bank of the stream virtually
seals the fate of Miraumont, which, in
turn, protects Bapaunae on thaewest. 1t
may take the British some time to reduce
the defenses Of Miralunont, but there is
no longer any doubt of its capture in the
near future.
Another important effect of the latest
British advance, coupled with that made
by Haig's forces on the same front a
week ago. is to narrow the salient south
east of Miraumont and thus place the
village of Pys in an almost indefensible
position. encircled ON three sides

This issue Of the Gazette con-
tains directions for knitting the
helmets for the soldiers which
the Red Cross is urging upon it's
members in the drive to supply
a large number Of these before
the cold weather sets in. As it
lis impossible and unnecessary
that these directions be reprint
ed, every woman interested is
asked, by the chairman of the
knitting work, to cut these di-
rections out and save them. The
Gazette has formerly gone to
considerable trouble to print di-
|rections for socks and sweaters
and yet the chairmen are being
constantly bothered by inquiries
as to where they may be OBJ
tanned. While the Gazette is
more than glad to open it's col
umns to whatever may be Of ser
vice to any department Of Red
Cross work, it seems useless to
do SO if the workers themselves
are not sufficiently interested to
save the information thus given
for future use.
