By A Vote Of So to a
Legislature Shelved
Dry Bill"
The Fate OF The Measure
Is Sealed For This Session
In The Hose

Baton Rouge, La, July 18.-The
Upton bill, prohibiting the sale OF
Intoxicating liquor within ten miles
of Camp Beauregard, which would
have had the effect Of making Al
exandria dry was indefinitely post
poned in the House Of Representa-
tives Wednesday afternoon by q
, vote of 50 to A. This sealed the fate
of the bill for this session of the
Legislature.
The vote came after the most ac-
rimonious debate that has occurred
on any measure since the Legislature
convened in extraordinary session.
Crowds of people, anticipating a
spirited contest over the bill, filled
the lobby and aisles Of the hall.
The fight started the moment the
bill was reached on the calendar.
Representative Powell Of Beaure-
gard, who has been selected to lead
the fight for the bill, moved that the
measure be engrossed and passed to
third reading. Representative Alex
ander of Rapides, the leader of the
opposition, promptly countered with
a motion to indefinitely postpone
the bill.

Defence OF Verdun By
The French Foil Crown
Prince
Patrol Raids Are Kept Up By
The British On The Flander' $
Front

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France July 18.-There has been a
remarkable increase during the last
forty-eiglt hours in the volume of
the enemVs fire around Lens salient
from Hill 70, on the north, to Avion
on the south. In some places the
German fire was of the nature for
merly preceding an assault, but the
enemy's object was the destruction
of our trenches and positions in the
ruined houses in preparation for ar
attack. ,Vimy, three miles from the
nearest German battery, was bonn
barded with high explosives, 600
SO shells falling in relatively
small space. Avion and points to the
north almost as far up the line as
Vermelles, were subjected to fire
of much intensity. The enemy's OBJ
servation was better than for some
time past, eight balloons and many
airplanes being engaged is spotting
for his gunners.
The Canadian artillery was not
diverted by the German activity
from its appointed task of methodi-
cally destroying the enemy's
trenches and defensive lines. In this
work much progress was made dur
ing the day, as well as in counter
battery operations.
The Germans during the night put
down a barrage along a large part
of the front under the belief that an
advance was imminent, but no in
fantry action followed.
Paris, July 18.-After heavy
shelling the Germans counter-at-
tackled several times during the
night in the Verdun sector but fail
ed to regain a parcel of ground
captured by the Fernch yesterday.
according to today's war office
statement.

German Reichstag VIII
Hear Today New
Chancellor S Views
BIS First UHerances Are
Awaited With Anxiety About
His Policy On The Conduct
Of The War

With intense interest diverted fol
the moment from the fighting
fronts, where there has been no
t;ceable slackening in hostilities, at
tention is focused on the conven.
ing Thursday afternoon of the Ger
man Reichstag.
At the opening session will be
heard the first utterances of the i'm
perial chancellor, DR.. Michaells.
concerning his stand on the war
utterances that naturally will be
momentous, inasmuch as they will
indicate whether, with the recent
changes in the German government,
Germany is to continue her war
fare without abatement of whether
the desires for peace that have been
heard SO often in Germany, and es-
peciaily the Reichstag, are anything
but empty expressions.
The probable attitude of the
chancellor already has run the
course Of diverse speculation, but
y yet nothing has been evolved
from the many unofficial discussions
Of the man and his ideas and inten-
tons on which anything like GER
tainty can be based.
Some writer's express the belief
that the new chancellor's leanings
Win be toward the peace views of
.ths s.majority bloc in the Reichstag; /;
others have advanced the opinion
that his policy will be that Of the
nilikristic party, and there are
othsrs who consider his assumption
of once merely part of stop-gap
program preliminary to the forma-
Hon Of something in the nature Of a
dietatorlhip.
