Try to Break French Line

Apparently the Germans are intent on
breaking the French line in the region be-
tween Scissors and Rheims, having de-
livered another tremendous assault from
northeast of Craonne to the east Of
Hurtebise. Into the fray were thrown
picked troops who were mown down ev-
erywhere, and the attack, like others
that had preceded it. failed.
Near St. Quentin, where for some time
the situation has been calm, the Ger
mans also delivered attacks on a front
Of about half a mile. Here they succeed
ed in penetrating French first line posi-
tons. only to be expelled from them In
counter attack.
There has been no diminution in the
artillery duels between the British and
Germans in northern Belgium nor in the
ceaseless small attack the British have
been making against German trenches
for many days. Around Monchy-Le-
Preux these infantry attacks have result
ed in the British rega;ning all the ground

Question of Nationwide Prohibi'
ton To Be Submitted To
State Legislatures
VOTE IS 282 TO 1928
Bill Would Prevent Manufacture, Sale
or Importation Of Liquor For 6ev-
craze Purposes-States Have
7 Years to Ratify.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Only slight
difference in resolutions between tho
House and Senate now stands In the
way of submitting to state legislatures
an amendment to the federal constl'
tuition forbidding the manufacture,
sale or importation of intoxicating IL
Quor for beverage purposes in the
United States or its territories, for
nationwide prohibition has won in the
House.
The vote in the House, taken after
day of debate before crowded gal
leries, was 282 to 1928, with the parties
divided almost evenly. The margin
for prohibition was just eight votes
more than the necessary two-th1rds
vote of the House required for adop-
ton and 26 more than two-thirds OF
those voting.
Same as Senate Measure.
The resolution adopted by the House
Is identical with that passed by the
Senate" last August, except that 1t
gives the states seven years instead
Of six in which to ratify the amend
ment. Senator Sheppard, author of
the resolution, predicted that the Sen
ate would accept the amendment at
once. He said he had assurances
that the seven year period would be
approved and that he did not believe
roll call necessary.
Every attempt to put on amend
ments to except light wines and beer
was beaten and al Democrats stood
aligned with 1877 Republicans and four
Independents to win the final victory
Tor the prohibition forces.
Text Of Resolution.
Following is the resolution as adopt
ed:
"Resolved by the Senate and House
Of Representatives, that the following
amendment to the Constitution be and
hereby is proposed to the states, to be
come valid as a part of the Constitu-
ton when ratified by the legislature
Of the several states as provided by
the Constitution:
ARTICLE latter one year
from the ratification of this article the
manufacture, sale or transportation of
intoxicating liquors within, the impor-
tation thereof into, or the expectation
thereof from the United States and all
territory subject to the jurisdiction
thereof for beverage purposes is here
by prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress and the
several states shall have concurrent
power to enforce this article by appro-
pirate legislation.
Section 3. This article shall be in.
operative unless it shall have been
ratified as an amendment to the Con.
,titution by the legislatures of the sew
eral states, as provided in the Consti-
tuition within seven years from the
date of the submission hereof to the
states by Congress-"

duty and returned to his post as chief
Of the navy's bureau of yards and

His request will be granted and
Charles A. Piez, Chicago engineer,

1t is said that Admiral Harris did
not find the work congenial. He was
appointed general manager when Rear
Admiral Caps retired. The first gen.
eral manager of the Fleet corporation
was Major General Goethals, who re-

At this time it is particularly neces.
sary that the farmer do everything in
his power to prevent waste of grain
and other f~oodstuffs. A great deal
depends upon his ability to turn out
record crops and his wisdom in caring
for new crops until the produce is
placed on the market. There is q new
interest in the construction OF corn
cribs and granaries.
The building shown in the accom-
panying illustrations is an excellent
type for the average farmer. 1t is a
combined corn crib and ana built
with two stories, &c by 40 feet on the
ground. The height Is 18 feet to the
caves. There are corn cribs at the
sides and grain bins overhead, in the
center. A driveway 10 feet wide,
having 10 feet of headroom, runs
through the center below the bins.
Such a building saves wastage. losses

The GeoIoqlstS Clock.

The fossil shells Of the early inver-
tebrates are always of great impor-
lance TO biologists, for they indicate
the period In which the rock beds that
contain them were formed-in other
words, the age Of the rock. Every
fossilliferous rock bed contains char
actertstic forms, or groups Of forms,
that determine the period In which II
was niue or sand. The economic i'm
portance of geology has been repeated
ly shown. In the earlier exploitation
of anthracite coal, thousands Of dol.
lars were wasted searching for coal
beds In New York until the geologist
of the state showed that the beds In
that state could not contain coal,
since the fossils showed that they be-
longed to the Devonian age, whereas
the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
beds are Of the Carboniferous age, q
much later period. That discovery
stopped the useless expenditure. The
study Of the animal and plant remain.

thus become an important part of ge-
ology. and although the specialists en-.
gagged In the study are few, their work
Is Of the highest Importance.
