FUTILE EFFORT TO SAVE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Bill Making the District Dry Is Now
Before the House Committee
Its Passage Is En-
pected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-"The

futile effort to save the District OF
Columbia from the coming dry ter
ritory after Nov list. The house
rules committee has begun hearing
on a special rule for the consideration
of the Sheppard bill ousting the cap
ital city from the wet camps. The
committee will go into executive ses-
sion and determine when the bill,
which has already passed the senate,
win come up for vote in the house.
The pros are leaving nothing un-
done to get action on this bill dur

RESOLUTION TO THAT EFFECT
INTRODUCED TODAY BY
SENATOR MARITIME.
THE CABINET TO MEET
The Entire Situation is to BE Laid
Before His Advisers by Presi-
dent Wilson This
Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-An at
tempt to force food embargo
through congress was made in the
senate today when Senator MARITIME
Of New Jersey introduced a resolti-
tion prohibiting the expectation OF
staple food products.
Regardless of the fact that it was
lost in the house committee the agri-
cultural appropriation bill Will be set
for special order in the senate and
II it fails to receive attention there
I it will be taken to the floor of the
house, Secretary of Agriculture
Houston declared today
The president will put the entire
situation before his cabinet this af-
ternoon.
In spite of food riots and other
spectacular evidences of acute SUI
fering as the result OF food shortages
officials here seoffed at the reports
Of possible embargo being placed
on all food shipments. Some intimat-
ed that perhaps some OF these clam
ors for food might be as much due to
a systematic melting of foreign-born
women in poor districts OF the large
cities as TO the actual conditions.
An amendment to the revenue bin
empowering the president to seize
food stuffs wrongfully being held
for an increase in prices, was intro
duced in the senate today by Sena~
tor Lewis, the administration whip.
The amendment is aimed at the cold
storage interests which the federal
trade commission knows IS largely
responsible for the present food
situation.
The amendment provides that tAe
food stuffs thus eonfiseased are TO
BE- at once sold to these whose ne
ce ssities are first to be relieved and
the prices for the resale of this
feod stuff is TO be fixed by .he
government and :he amount VIII be

A British officer remarked today
that the Londoners carried out the
raid with the same methodical thor
oughness which they formerly clean
cd up a days mail.
The zig-Zag nature of the British
line necessitated the attackers lining
UP on tho open ground. The city
chaps stood calmly, merely tight
ening their helmets as they awaited
the blast OF the hunting horn while
slrapnel from German guns was
bursting around them. AT the
sound of tle tGlly-ho bugle they
charged, bending in a five hundred
yard circle about the Germans and
shaking hands at the junction of
the circle behind the enemy line.
Their prisoners stood aghast at such
conduct
The prisoners were all from the
1S5th Prussian regiment.
