PRESIDENT WILSON CHECKS
 THE BONE DRY" MOVEMENT Prohibition Leaders Asked to Drop Their Fight Against Light lntoxi- cants.

Washington, June 29.-Intervention of President Wilson checked the "bone dry national prohibition mot ement in congress today. Confinement of erages without interference with man ufacture of beer and wines, it is gen erally agreed, will result.
 Prohibition leaders were asked by the president, in order to prevent de- lay in passing the food control bill, to drop their fight against the manu- fracture of beer wines and other light intoxicants. With a formal response
 from the "drys" deferred, senate lead
 CTS of all factions quickly reached an understanding to limit absolute pro hibition to distilled spirits.
 President Wilson exchanged letters with the Rev. Dr. James Cannon. the chairman Of the National Anti Saloon
 Leagues Legislative committee, and called senate leaders to the White House in his effort to harmonize dII ferences and smooth the way for f. nal enactment of the food measure. Bone dry" Legislation was written
 into the bill before it passed the house and the senate agriculture committee
 amended the provision to prohibit the manufacture of distilled spirits but
 empowered the president to permit the making of beer and wine.
 In his letter to Dr. Cannon the pres
 ident said Senator Martin, the demo cratic leader, had asked him to eX-
 
 islation regarding the wisest and most patriotic policy to be pursued" !" and added:
 q regard the immediate passage
 of the bill as of vital consequence to
 the safety and defence of the nation.
 Time Is of the essence; and yet it has
 become evident that heated and pro- tracted debate will delay the passage of the bill indefinitely if the provis- ions affecting the manufacture of beer and wines are retained and insisted upon. Tn these circumstances I have not hesitated to say to members of the senate who have been kind enough to consult me that 1t would undoubt- edly be in the public interest in this very critical matter if the friends of those provisions should consent to their elimination from the present measure. Feeling that your commit tee is actuated by the same patriotic motives which inspire me. I am conf dent that these considerations will seem to you, as they seem to me, 10 be imperative"
