Compromise Amendment
on Prohibition Clause


Washington, July THE battle over
the prohibition issue involved in the
food control bill is being fought out
In the senate again today, this time
on the question whether consumption
as well as the manufacture of dis
titled nQuor shall be prohibited dur
ing the war.
The contest had narrowed down to
this phase today following the defeat
of the bone dry amendment, which
action makes it certain that all legis-
ton stopping manufacture of intod-
cants will be limited to distilled bev
erages.
Vets dendeavored to force recon
sideration of the Cummins amend
ment. tentatively adopted, which pre-
vents withdtawal Of .thard liquor
now held in bond for beverage pur-
poses. Opponents of the provision
claim it amounts to virtual confis-
cation of 220, 600, 900 gallons without
effecting conservation Of any grain
Pending is a compromise amend
ment by Senator Reed, which would
authorize the President in his discre-
ton to permit the withdrawal of dis
titled spirits from bonded ware

RUSSIANS SWEEP THROUGH
GERMAN Lines WEST OF
PINSK; CITY In FLAMES

today by the semi official news agency
The Russian artillery, the announce
ment says, is 1eve1ling all obstacles.
The Russians have captured the
fortified forest of Sianka with all the
enemys organized positions, and also
Hill 3SS. They have penetrated the
village of Godov.
Further gains have been made by
the Russian forces in Gaucia. Ad-
vices from the front record the taking
of the first line trenches by troops of
the Eleventh army, who also at some
points captured second line positions.
The opening of the battle of Pinsk
marks the second effort Of the Rus
slams after the long period of quiet
which followed the revolution. The
point selected for this attack is about
It's miles north of the sector in east
Galicia along which the Russians
made their first onslaught resulting in
the capture of about $4,000 men in
two days. Pinsk is at the middle of
the Russo-Ga1icia battle line.
There has been no heavy fighting
in this region since the concentration
of the great Austro-German drive
which began in the spring Of 1915.
Pinsk had a population of about
0,00O before the war. It lies within
the great marsh and swamp region OF
white Russia, about on a line east of
Warsaw.
