 Prices of Coal at Mines.

Washington, June 2S.-The fight in congress over government control of food and other necessaries today vir- tually narrowed to the question of prohibition.

The bill would forbid the manufacture of all intoxi- eating beverages. Senator Johnson of California and Senator Kellogg sup ported the bill, as a war measure.
 Senate sentiment is said to be gen orally favorable to stopping the manu- fracture of distilled spirits, and the at tack on the bill will center, it is ex- pected, on the beer and wine prohib- tion.

Associated Press Summary).
 Brazil is no longer neutral in the
 world war and. the German empire has
 another enemy arrayed against it.
 Having previously revoked it's
 nolicy of alofness. so far as it af-
 fected the hostilities between the Tinted States and Germany. Brazil now has come definitely into the nperations and announces it can no longer be considered a neutral in the war between the entente and Ger many.
 Although no announcement has been made as to whether the South American republic will actually enter hostilities, by it's revocation it aligns itself morally on the side of the United States and entente. The Canadians, men from all parts Eof the dominion, have taken another hack at the German line protecting Lens, the coal center in the depth of Pas the Calais, and have been re- warded with a. further encroachment on their objective. On two mile ! front, the Canadians, protected by an effective curtain fire, stormed and Captured a German first line position before Avion, and also the village of Leavette. They defeated men of the +frack Prussian Guard and the Fifth sGrenadier Guards, whose machine gun and rifle fire, and the fact that the attackers had to cut wire entangle- .ments. could not stay them. When the battle ended their line had been extended to within one mile of the center of Lens, the fall of which, under such assaults, seemingly can not be long delayed.
 On the remainder of the front in France there have been only bom bardments.
 In Belgium, the Germans are carry ing out heavy bombardments of French and Belgian positions, at numerous points from the sea south ward. In an attack south of St. Georges, the Germans entered French trenches, but later were elected, with heavy losses.
 Only minor operation are proceed Ing on other fronts.
 In the Russian theatre, fighting is spirited in Galacia.
 m the Austro-Italian zone, infantry attacks again have ceased and only artillery duels are taking place.
 Artillery duels and patrol engage ments continue the feature of the nghtlng in Macedonia.

WANT CROWDER
TO EXEMPT THEM
Provost MarshaI's Office Flood
ed With Letters.
REFERRED TO LOCAL BOARDS
Statement Says All Claims For indus-
trial Exemption Must Go To Dis
trict 5osrds-coaI Operators
Want Miners On the Job.

Washington.--A deluge of personal
inquiries concerning future steps in
the Army draft, and OF pleas from in
dustrial concerns for exemption OF
their expert workers. drew from the
Provost Marshal's Office statement
that questions must be addressed to
local boards and that claims for in
dustrlal exemption must go later to
the district, boards. No general class
OF workmen will be exempted. Provost
Marshal General Crowder told the
coal production committee. which
sought information whether miners
would be left at their work. Appeals
to the Provost Marshal's office from
employers on behalf Of their workmen
can accomplish nothing. 1t was ex-
planned, AS regulations promulgated by
President Wilson govern all exemp-
tions.
The question of whether q man is
more useful to his country in a peace
full pursuit, than In military service Is
matter to be taken up with the dis
trict board" said an announcement,
and for that board to determine in
the light of the circumstances sur
rounding each individual case.
Procedure in case of claim for dis
charge on the ground OF industry or
agriculture is explicitly outlined in the
regulations. Only the upper or dis
trict board has jurisdiction over an in
dustrial or agricultural claim for dis
charge. Before man has a standing
before the district board he must frst
be certified to II by the local or lower
board as physically qualified for serv-
ice and must have had any discharge
claim made before the lower board de-
cided adversely to him.
He has five days after he is GER
titled to the upper board In which TO
file claim for discharge and five days
more in which to file proof. All claims
for exemption or discharge, except
claims for discharge on industrial or
agricultural grounds, are decided
originally by the local or lower board"
Most individual queries to the Pro-
vost Marshal's Office come from men
who are absent from their place OF
registration and who have been sum-
moned for examination. Such man
should apply in writing to the local
board in the district where he Is regis.
tered and request an order directing
him to appear for physical examina.
tion and possibly exemption or dis.
charge claim before the board of the
district in which he is now living. This
request should designate definitely the
board having jurisdiction over the dis
trict in which he is living; for ex.
ample, local exemption board. dvi-

IRELAND NEAR REVOLT
WHOLE WEST COAST ARMED
FOR THE FRAY.
Militant Sinn- Feiners Are ut Head of
the DisaffectiOn of Thou
sands.

London, Oct. 27.-The entire west
of Ireland, smoldering with discon-
tent, is ready to blaze into an armed
rebellion, according to the London
Daily Mail
The Nails correspondent, watching
the situation, declares that young
priests in Professor de Ia Verie's train
are now trying to queneh the spark
they kindled, but that it probably has
gone too far. The Mail says:
"The militant Sim Feiners are at
the top of their stride. They have
been allowed to carry their program
to pitch which it seems almost hope
less to break by pacific means.
"The Sim Feiners are sublimely
confident and say that Tuesdays de-
bate in parliament shows plainly the
government is afraid of them"
The correspondent, however, adds
that there is ray of hope in that
>the Sim Fein congress, which opened
in Dublin today, may result in check
ing the militant section.
