Washington.-The Senate brought
the prohibition fight practically to an
end late Saturday afternoon, voting 45
to 81 to substitute the Robinson ad
ministration amendment as amended
for the House bone-dry prohibition.
The Robinson amendment as amended
provides:
First-For the flat prohibition of the
use Of foods, feeds and fruits in the
manufacture of distilled beverages.
Second-For the communicating OF
all distilled spirits in bond at cost plus
10 per cent profit to the distillers.
Third-For the exemption Of distill-
ers from all taxes on spirits comman-
deered.
Fourth-For the prohibition Of the
importation of liquor.
1t completely ignores the question
of prohibiting beer and wine.
Immediately after the adoption Of
the amendment, Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee,
moved to recommit the $1,670, 600, 900
war revenue bill in order that provi-
sion can be made to meet the loss of
$420, 900, 900 revenue the amendment
is expected to cause. The motion was
carried.

THIRTY-SEVEN PERSONS KILLED
AND 141 INJURED.
Three German Flyers Fall and 9th

British Machines.

London, July 9.-The second de
scent upon London by a squadron o
airplanes was made Saturday morn
ing between 9 and 10 O'Clock, when
the business section of the metropolis
was most crowded.
Although the. German contingent
was larger, more daring, more DELHI
crate in its movements, and descend
ed much lower than on the visit OF
June 10, the number of killed and
wounded was, according to the first
official roll, roughly one-third the
previous casualty list. The destruc'
ton of property may have been great
er but that Is impossible TO estimate.
The flight of the Germans over Lon
con lasted about twenty minutes. Brit
ish airmen engaged the enemy for
several minutes over the metropolis,
and anti -aircraft guns were firing
briskly, dotting the sky with shrapnel
puffs, but without success so far as
concerned the destruction of any of
the twenty or more machines which
constituted the invading force.
THE enemy's bomb-carrying planes
were In the center of the formation,
surrounded and protected by fast
fighting scout machines.
Lord French reports that the total
casualties reported by the police fol-
low:
Killed-Metropolitan area: Men, 81;
women, 4; children, 8; total. "a. Isle
OF Thanet, men, /; women, 2; total, 3.
Total killed, 81.
Injured: Metropolitan area: Men,

Isle Of Thanet, women, /; children, l;
total, 2. Total injured, 141.
"One enemy machine downed by
the royal flying corps fell into the
off the mouth of the Thames. Six
were shot down.
The admiralty was able to report
naval airmen who followed them
to sea brought down three machines.

Il consider it my duty to remain as

According to reports received from
Berlin via Switzerland, Hollweg. after
refusing a~cquiescence In the Socialist

war with all possible strength. The
fatherland has faced great perils and
overcame them. Our enemies have

London, July 11.-Halicz, the strate'

The fall OF Halicz probably will
mean that the Austro-G Germans must

thru B~rzezany and Zlochoff to Brody,
in order to protect Lemberg. The
next line in the real Of the Zlota-Lipa
