Reed Amendment Prohibiting Ship
ment of Liquor in Operation.


Washington, July 3.-Twenty- three
states became bone dry after midnight
Saturday, the effective hour of the
Reed amendment prohibiting shipment
of liquor into any territory where its
manufacture or sale is prohibited.
Eleven other states are partly at
fected by the legislation, which has
been hailed by temperance advocates
as the greatest single step toward
abolition of the liquor traffic in the
nations history.
The law bars from prohibition areas,
whether states or smaller corpora
tons, all mail matter containing adj
vertisements or solicitations for or
ders for intoxicants, provision desig-
mated to aid in enforcing the anti
shipment feature by suppressing the
activities of mail order houses in dry

Thousands Of Austro-Ger-
man Prisoners Taken.
STROKE WAS UNEXPECTED
Offensive Of Such Force Not Looked
for Because Of Disorsanized condi.
ton Of siav Army-ArtiIlery Battle
Extends Over Long Front.

London, July -Russia's armies
have not lost their old striking power
as the result of their long inactivity.
This is evidenced by the announce
ment from Petrograd of the taking of
an important Austro German position
in Galicia at the outset of the new Of
fensive, together with the capture Of
more than $500 prisoners.
The advance was effected between
the Upper Stripa and the Narayuvka
General Brussiloff moved there Sun
day, the Austrian-G erman lines being
struck along a front of more than
eighteen miles after prolonged artil-
lery preparation. In pressing forward
the Russians captured the town Of
Koniuchy.
The number of prisoners taken COM
pares favorably with last years lists
from General Brussiloff's great often
sive considering the comparative
shortness Of the present line of at
tack.
A stroke of such force had hardly
been expected from the Russians con-
sidering the disorganizaion of the
army following the revolution.
The artillery battle is still raging
far to the north along the Russian line
into Volhynia, as far as the Middle
Stokhod, the latest Berlin statement
indicating that attacks by the Rus
slams were expected to extend beyond
the area Of the original fighting.
Russian War Minister Kerensky in
formed the United States three weeks
ago that big Russian offensive would
take place in the first part of July.
