CONTROL BILL COM
PROMISE

Much progress was made yes
terday in the senate committee
considering the Food Control Bill
in the matter of the compromise
over the prohibition clause of that
measure. Following the announce
ment of the President that he was
in favor of the total prohibition
of the manufacture of distilled liq-
uors, but would not insist at the
present time on the prohibition Of
malt and vinous liquors as well,
Senator Chamberlain has drafted
a substitute for the house prohibi.
ton clause, which practically pro-
vides for national prohibition dur
ing the period of the war. The
Chamberlain amendment, which
appears to be generally favored,
provides for the total prohibition
of the manufacture of spurious
liquors and for the prohibition OF
the manufacture of beers and
wines without presidential au-
thority. .4.. 81 =,
PASS BY THE FOURTH
1t is probable that the Food
Control Bill thus amended will be
passed before the fourth, when il
will be sent back to the house for
its concurrence, which seems
probable without opposition. The
bill ought to become law before
the end of the week. ...
Anti-Saloon League members
at a conference here yesterday de-
cided to adopt a hands off" pol
icy so far as the prohibition fea-
lures of the control bill are con-
cerned, feeling that they have
done their work. They are mott
flying President Wilson that they
will leave the question entirely to
congress and, the President, in
view OF the national emergency.

LONDON, July 1---Steady progress
was made yesterday, in the work of
stripping Lens of its defenses, the Brit
ish taking several trenches ana a few
prisoners. The fighting was confined
to the south of the city, along the Sou
chez River, where, altogether, the Brit
ish have gained q depth of mile along
a four mile front, straddling the stream.
The success of the Canadians has
been marked and they have won con
siderable terrain with comparatively
small cost. The territory they have re
gained contains some Of the most val.
liable mines of the region. Contrary
to expectations, when the Germans
ceased working these mines they failed
to set fire to them or destroy the main
working shafts. ......, =.
During the fighting yesterday, the
Germans lost six airplanes destroyed
and had four others driven back ont of
battle beyond control. The British lost
one plane, which was missing at the
end Of the day. .. f'.r. .: =
The German gunners have been par
ticularly active on their Belgian line
against the French, the commandments
at Steenstraete and Het Sas being
severe. An attack upon a French al.
vance post, following the lombard
ment, was easily repulsed, however.
Berlin dispatches state that the oper-
atoms in the west ON the British front
have been unimportant and that Il
strong Russian attack made on the Up
