LIVELY ISSUE
IN CONGRESS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Prohibi-
ton came to the front in the house
again today, stirring up a furore that
promises to enliven the remaining days
of the session with one of the most
stubborn fights yet waged over the
issue in congress.
While prohibition advocates facing a
threatened filibuster, were lining up to
pass tomorrow the senate bill making
the national capital dry, it developed
that the poStoffice appropriation bill,
including the Reed bone dry" amend
ment had been abandoned because of
a hopeless deadlock in confe. ence To-
night a resolution to replace dppropria-
ton bill by continuing existing postal
appropriations and embodyinC also the
Reed amendment was introduced in
the house by the conferees making it
necessary for the bone dry provision
to run the gauntlet of another vote in
both senate and house.
Against both the District of Column
hia bill and the Reed amendment which
would prohibit shipment of liquor into
any prohibition state the anti-prohibi-
ton forces are organizing a desperate
resistance. Their strength could not
be definitely determined tonight
While the prohibition men insist there
Is no real danger that either measure
will fail, they are visibly disturbed over
the prospect
Democrats opposed to the District of
Columbia measure announced tonight
that ii the bill is passed, they will line
up thirty or more democratic votes
against the administration revenue bill
when it comes back to the house and
some of them even threaten to bolt the
democratic organization of the next
house.
Habitual absentees from the house
were called in during the day and at
tonights session We're gathered in force
in the house chamber. while Represen-
tatives Randall Of California and Crisp
of Georgia. leaders of the prohibition
forces. sat on guard against any unex-
pected move.

FRANCE, Feb. 81. Wia London)-
There was sharper resistance along the
line of the German retreat tonight
than at any time since the movement
began. There is no indication as yet
of the fixed purpose by the Germans to
make a definite stand but they are do

The Germans prepared carefully for
their retirement, apart from choosing

how it can be regarded as otherwise.
The Times says:
1T would seem that the overt act had
already been committed when the pres
ident was congratulating himself on
Monday that ii was still but a danger"
The Times remarks that President
Wilson spoke with great caution re-
garding specific measures and bases no
positive conclusions on the address. but

chancellor. the newspaper says:
we cannot but think the illuminat-

The Daily Telegraph says: THE cir
cumstances of the Laconia crime would
seem to answer to the main points laid
down by President Wilson in his previ-
Gus statements. as toNWhat the United
