DRY NATION BILL
PASSES SENATE 3S-32
If House Adopts Measure United
States VIII Be Dry Territory
During Period of War.

Washington, May PA long step
towards making the nation dry
throughout the war period was taken
by the senate this evening. BY a vote
of 3S to 80, the Cummins amendment
to the espionage bill prohibiting the
use of grains, cereals, sugar or syrup
in the manufacture of alcoholic bev-
erages was adopted.
The amendment was accepted after
an all afternoon fight to modify it.
Before it becomes a law, however,
the concurrence of the house will be
necessary. There was nothing tonight
to indicate the sentiment Of the lower
branch on the question.
The Bill.
The text of the Cummins amend
ment follows:
"That on and after September 1,
1912, and during the period OF the
war with the imperial government OF
Germany, it shall be unlawful to use
or employ directly or indirectly any
cereals, grains. sugar or syrups ID
the production of intoxicating liquor
il any form or of any kind: provided
however, that nothing in this section
shall be construed to prohibit the
use of such syrup for the manufac-
ture of wines as now provided under
the law. and 1t is further provided
that this section shall not be con-
strued to make unlawful the manu-
facture OF alcohol or intoxicating IL
quor for mechanical. medicinal, sac
ramental or scientific purposes, un-
der rules and regulations to be pre-
scrtbed by the secretary Of the treas
ury.
Violation of this section shall be
punished by fine Of not more than
S5. 900 or by Imprisonment OF not
more than three years or both.
For Wine.
Senator Phelan Of California sue

Senator Gronna. Of North Dakota
tried to have a substitute accepted

HOLY SEE Gets NO WORD
FROM CENTRAL POWERS
Gasparri Believes Reply Was Held Tn
When Emperor William Went
to Riga.
MAY BE RECEIVED NEXT WEEK
Berlin Press and Parliamentary Cir.
clcs Concur In Prediction That
Message VIII Not Contain Specific
Declarations Concerning Belgium.
IBy Associated Prnsa. ]

ROME. Wednesday. September 10
Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal Secretary
OF State. tonight declared to the Asso-
ciated Press that tho reply of the CEN
trail powers to Pope Benedicts peace
proposals had not yet been received at
the Vatican. This is taken to prove
that the statement recently published
to the effect that the reply had left
Berlin on Saturday is untrue. as other
wise. even admitting delay of ono
day. in Switzerland. the document
should have arrived in Rome Tuesday
night or this morning.
Cardinal Gasparri believes that the
reply OF. the central powers was held
up when Emperor William went to
Riga. and that it is not likely that II
will reach the Vatican until next week.
The reply Of the entente allies to the
Pope's peace proposals must necessarily
arrive after that of the central powers
because Great Britain before the COM
pilation Of tho entente note asked for
some Information of the Vatican, which
in turn applied for il TO the central
powers. which notified the Holy See that
the explanations asked for would be
contained in their own reply to the
Papal note. On these explanations.
therefore. tho answer of the entente
allies, or at least that Of Great Britain,
will depend.
