MAY DEFER BONE DRY DATE
CONGRESS is CONSIDERING POST,
PONEMENT OF DATE.
Proposed to Put Off Time for Bone
Dry Provision to Go Into Effect
Until Next October.

Washington, Feb. "a. Postpone
ment of the effective date Of the bone
dry" prohibition amendment to the
postoffice bill, adopted Wednesday, un-
til October l, 1917, is proposed in q
concurrent resolution introduced by
Representative Moon of Tennessee,
chairman of the House H~1stoffice COM
mittee. Mr.. Moon announced he would
press it through as Don as the post
Office bill itself is finally disposed OF.
Want Date Postponed.
During debate on the amendment in
the House there were urgent appeals
on behalf of liquor dealers who ship
into dry territory that they be given
time to dispose of stock and readjust
their business. Prohibition forces
turned deaf ears then, fearing that
any changes in the provision as it
passed the Senate might mean its de-
feat, but many of them are disposed
to vote for a postponement, once the
bill has been sent to the President for
his signature.
The House rules committee agreed
to consider a special rule to bring up
in the House the Senate bill for pro-
hibition in the District of Columbia.
The committee will first have a hear
ing and then an executive session to
determine its action. 1t is said to
stand s to 8 in favor of the rule.
Representative Gallivan of Massa-
chusetts introduced a bill for a probi-
bition referendum to the people of the
district. 1t is identical with the I'm
derwood amendment rejected by the
Senate.

THE year before the war so, 000, 000

Italy and France are begging for
moro ships.
"a large portion of our tonnage has
been sunk by submarines during the
last 80 months. The ratio has been
increased during the last four or five

to Germany's special efforts to do its
worst"

which the nation Is faced owing to
the shortage of food stocks and the
German submarine menace.

LACK OF ECONOMY IN

Well-to-Oo Could Contribute to Reduc

of Health Department.

New York, Feb. 81. Enormous in
crease In the expectation of staple
articles of food without a correspond.
ing increase in production, and lack
OF intelligent economy in buying by
housewives are ascribed by the depart,
ment OF health Of this city in a re.
port just issued as the chief reasons
for steadily rising prices.
The report says: 1T Is apparent un.
less the present high prices of food
are reduced or controlled or as an
alternative the income of families
which 10Y maintain themselves on
$500 a year or less is increased by
raise of wages or through relief
agencies, there will be 4 constantly
increasing number of persons whose
health will be jeopardized by the in.
ability to buy sufficient n~ourishing
food"
Financial Aid Would Not Help.
No financial aid from the city could
ameliorate conditions, 1t was said, but
an extension Of the school lunch sys.
tenn and the teaching Of intelligent
buying will go far to remedy such
hardship that now exists in families
living below a food standard which
will maintain health"
"The well-to-do may contribute con.
siderably in the reduction of the high
price Of food" the report declared,
by altering habits of carelessness and
extravaganza in their homes"
Increase In Exports Shown.
Figures are presented to show that
increases in exports of staple goods
have ranged from SO per cent in the
case Of mutton to, 1347 per cent in
case Of cheese. Enough milk In con-
densed form was expected from the
United States In the last year to sup
ply this city for two years, according
to the report.
The amount Of ~perishable food
held in cold storage plants in this city
Is not unusual, nor is II more thar
a reasonable margin for safety, In

the department of health says; "the

British Headquarters in France,
Feb. 27.-On n portion OF the Brit.
fish front at least the war has become
a war of movement.
Under cover of fog and mist, which
have been particularly heavy, the Ger
mans carried out the greatest retire
ment they have made on the western
front In the last two years, and the
British have swept into possession OF
Pys, Serre, Miraumont and Petit
Miraumont, including the famous Butte
dc Warlencourt, which has been the
scene of some of the fiercest fighting
of the war and In places is deep with
the bones of dead men.
Retire Three Miles.
The exact extent OF the German re-
tirement Is not known, but It Is esti-
mated that II approaches a depth of
three miles at some points.
British patrols are out in all direc-
tions, harassing the Germans and
keeping In touch with their move
ments. Until they report, it will not
be possible to say just where n Ger
mans have determined to fix their
next line of resistance.
Big Advantage to Britains.
1t car be stated that the British
now, or soon, will be In a position pos
sibly to force the evacuation of Ba-
paume, which has been the key to the
German position since the beginning
of the battle Of the Somme.
The points which already have fall
en- into the British hands have stood
OUT in the history Of the fighting on
this front and had been most stub
bornly defended. Only a week ago,
when the British attacked on a two
mile front east and south Of Mirau-
mont and Pys, the German resistance
was bitter and the high ground de-
sired was won only after desperate
h~and-to-hand encounters and the tax.
