Republican A. p Leased wIrel

The Associated Press summarizes
sea operations of Yesterday in con-
nection with TIE European war a.
follows:
Again the British forces fighting
in France have attacked German posi-
tions at several points and been re-
wardcd for their efforts by an ag-
gregate gain of more than 1.159
yards. according to the latest British
Official communication.
South of Armentieres the German
line was penetrated deeply on a front
of about $50 yards and southeast of
Ypres on "a front of about 500 Yards
Numerous casualties were inflicted
or the Germans at both places and
prisoners and guns were also taken.
The British casualties are said to
have been slight. Near Gueudecourt
in the Somme sector, the British also
seized a section of the German
trenches and took prisoners
There is still considerable artillery
activity by both the Germans and
French in the region of Verdun, but
elsewhere along the line held by the
French there have been no new de-
velopments. Berlin reports that an
attempt by the French to capture
Hill 1S5, south OF Ripont failed with
heavy casualties.
In the AIstro-lt Italian theater bonn
bardments and small enterprises by
raidirg and accommodating parties
continue A like situation pre- ails
on the eastern front, from the Baltic
down into Rumania.
An attack by British detachments
between the Nardar river and Lake
Doiran on the north Macedonian front
served TO vary the recent operations
there.
Berlin reports that the attack was
repulsed
Germanys submarine campaign was
described 10 parliament by Sir Ed

admiralty, as serious, but he said

counters with submarines during the
FIRST eighteen days of February and
instanced several cases where under

PROHIBITION
LEGISLATION
GIVEN BOOST
LRepubIlean =. :. leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2I.-Absolute
prohibition legislation took its longest
forward stride in the nations history
today when the house after two hours
of uproarious debate. approved by a
four to one majority a senate measure
which would raise an iIOnclad barrier
against importation of liquor into pro-
hibition states. II is expected to re-
ceive the approval of President Wilson
within week, adding Immediately tc
the bone dry" territory about one
third of continental United States. The
provision is regarded as the most far
reaching that could be enacted by the
federal government, and as sweeping
as@ould be possible under any method
short of a national prohibition amend
ment Ii would cut off entirely liquor
importations amounting now to mil
lions of dollars annually, into the large
number of states which have forbid
den manufacture or sale but have per-
mitted importation for personal use.
Advocates of prohibition divided
among themselves over the expediency
OF the step. some friends of the cause
declaring so drastic a law would have
a reacti0nary effect. In the same way
those who have opposed prohibition
were not unanimous in opposition wher
the vote was taken. The roll call
brought cheers and cries of bone dry"
from all parts Of the house, however
ana the result was greeted with {
noisy demonstration.
The vote as officially announced was

corded on any measure.
A provision barring liquor advertise
ments from the mails in states that

the measure, which came before the
house as rider to the annual post
office appropriation bill inserted BY
the senate last week on motion of Sen
ator Reed by vote of So to II. Al
though the appropriation bill will go
to conference before the house dis
agreed to other senate amendments
there is little possibility that the pro
hibition amendment concurred in
without change, will be altered Mem

granted that President Wilson will ap-
prove it.
Although some members had given il
as their opinion that the legislative
features added to the postal bill would
not be effective until July 1. the effec-
tive date of the appropriations il

who are considered authorities said to-
night that all the legislative riders

on the part Of the people OF ECUADOR
to offer the Galapagos Islands for sale
to the United States. The handsome
price paid for the Virgin lslands u
said to have made q great impression

Islands have long been economically
worthless to Ecuador, but all suggest
ions to sell them have been hailed by
opposing politicians as an intrigue to
deliver the territory Of the country IN
to the hands Of foreigners. It may be
that the conduct Of the United states
toward Latin America under President
Wilson has mitigated the distrust OF
the United States and inclined the
Ecuadorians to consider more lenfent-
" American possession OF the islands.
