bYNG STILL
PUSHING ON
IN ADVANCE
ON CAMBRIA
Steady Drive On Objective
Now Being Prosecuted BY
British Who Are Near
Village.
GROUND is TAKEN
CBy Associated Press,


General Byng has settled down to -
steady push against the German lines
west of Cambria, after his recent rapid
forward dash, and has made substan-
tial progress along front of nearly
six miles. incidentally, it is now an
nounced that more than loo guns were
captured by the British during this Of
fensive, including numerous heavy
pieces.
The British pressure is now being
mainly directed northward on the east
and west line running between Fon-
taine and Queant. The apparent OBJ
ject is not only to carry the encircling
movement about Cambria further to
the north and east, but to drive in be-
hind both the former Hindenburg line,
as it bears off to the northwest, and
the Queant Drocourt switch, thus rem
dering the latter useless as a second
ary line of defense against an attack
from the west.
Valuable Ground Taken.
In this operation valuable high
ground around the dominating Bour-
Ion wood, to the west of Cambria, was
taken yesterday and progress was
made further west on both SIDES or
the Canal DuUord, near Moeuvres and
Queant. Additional ground also was
! gained in the neighborhood of Bulle-
court.
The Italian front is still holding
| firmly although its defense is costing
the Italians heavily in men. There
were further efforts by the Austro-
! German masses to break through to
the west end of the line between Asi-
ago plateau and the Brenta but Gener-
al Diaz's troops successfully withstood
all these thrusts.
| PiaVe Line Intact.
| The Pave river line remains intact
and apparently the enemy efforts to
force it, are no longer serious, al
though Rome today reports breaking
up by artillery fire of hostile attempts
/ to lay pontoons.
In the important mountain front be
tween the Breuta and the Piaye the
I struggle is still desperate one. No
further progress is claimed by Berlin
in this sector. On the contrary the
Italians have been counter-attacking
heavily, although Berlin declares with,
out success.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Ambassa-

any similar government which would
lead the country into non-participation
in the war

SUIT TO TEST
DRY MEASURE
EXPECTED BY
BOTH SIDES
No Surprise Was Caused In
Richmond Over Fight On
Prohibition Law In State
Drys See Victory.
VETS ARE HOPEFUL:

Neither Richmond liquor dealers nor
temperance advocates were surprised
when they learned today that a brew
ing company at Evansville and a
saloon keeper in that city had filed
suits to test the constitutionality of
the statewide prohibition law, which
becomes operative April 2, next year.
1t has been generally understood
here for some time that test case
Of the prohibition law was to be made
Dry leaders who were questioned to-
Gay expressed the belief that the ef-
forts to kill the prohibition law would
be of no avail, asserting that numer-
Gus attorneys held to the opinion that
such law could be enacted under the
Police powers given to the state by the
constitution.
Many Are Optimistic.
There are some Richmond liquor
dealers who share the same view.
while quite number of them express
the hope that the law will be declared
unconstitutional.
Representatives Of the LIQUOR inter-
ests point to the fact that about 1855 a
prohibition law, equally as drastic as
the one recently enacted. was declared
to be unconstitutional by the supreme
court of the state. and, they argue,
there has been very little change
made in the state constitution since
that time
The Minck Brewing company, which
would be the most vitality affected of
any business concern in Richmond
should the state go dry. has completed
all arrangements for the manufacture
OF a non-intoxicating beverage after
next April

MINISTER GIVES
HIS POSITION

The County Council Of Defense to-

local minister regarding his stand on
food conservation pledge cards. The
Council submitted the following:
THE statement made was not that
the enforcement of the food conserva-

the use of coercion or force by indi-

states that under the circumstances

presence was not desired.

high school auditorium is public

'Of course you would, technically,
