BONE DRY" LAW WOULD
PUT END WINE INDUSTRY
Californian Defends Drinking.
Jones Amendment Attacked
and Supported.
international News Service.)

washington, June 17.-Enactment
of "bone- dry" prohibition for the pc
riod of the war would destroy tne
wine making industry, valued at
5000. .D00, 900 in California alone, Rep-
Iesentative julius Kahn told the SEN
ate agriculture committee this AFTER
noon at the opening of hearings on
the Jones amendment.
Mr.. Kahn said the wine growers IN
California are already beginning TO
liouidate their business in anticipa--
tion of the adoption of the Sheppard
nation wide prohibition amendment to
the constitution. They should be Civ
en- time, he insisted, to save their
property from total loss.
Rev. T, G. Dinwidde, legislative rep
reseptative nf the anti saloon league,
made a brief statement, declaring his
belief that the Jones amendment was
constitutional. Senator Norris, of Ne
braska dry" was inclined to differ
with him.
John ]. Kearney, of Boston, repre-
senting union hotel employees ana
bartenders, pleaded with the commit
tee not to recommend the Jones
amendment. He declared the food
conservation argument of the prohi-
bitionists was only "camoufiage" and
that it would throw thousands of
workmen out of employment.
Representative Kahn pointed out
that the bulk of the grapes used in
wine making had no food value. He
said the wine growers had invested
s1o00o000 in anticipation of this
wears crop. The Jones amendment,
he said, would not only render this
investment a total loss, but would
make the entire crop|this year worth
less
Mr.. Kahn defended wine drinking.
He nointed out that a wine ration was
supplied to the French and Italian ar
mics. The British army gives its men
> rum ration every day. he said.
"And they seem to give pretty
good account of themselves as fight

VIEW OUTCOME ENEMY
OFFENSIVE HOPEFULLY
London Papers See Connection
Between New Drive and In
ternal Strife in Austria.
(Associated PreSs.)

London, June 17.-The outcome OF the
Austrian offensive is viewed hopefully
even confidently, by the newspapers
here. This view is based on the staunch
resistance of the allied defensive and
the failure Of the enemy to make any
thing like a big success in his initial
advance. 1t is admitted that some
days must pass before the results of
the fighting on such a great scale can
correctly be judged but the conviction
is firmly expressed in several quarters
that it will end in failure for the en-
emy.
Failure" says the Daily News, "on
the first day of these attacks as con-
Quoted on the modern German plan has
hitherto been fatal, as in the case of
Vimy ridge, and in the present case the
fact of failure can hardly be doubted. -
Failure Imminent.
The newspaper cites the opinion of
its correspondent on the Italian front
that no enemy offensive up to this time
has begun so badly, and adds
There is strong ground for believing
that an enemy failure is imminent"
The opinion is expressed by several
papers that there is a direct connection
between the initiative of the offensive
and internal conditions in Austria
Hungary The Daily Express describes
as gamblers throw the most desper-
ate that the wa, has seen," while the
Times declares it is "a desperate at
tempt to keep up the waning spirits of
such elements of the population as still
remain faithful to the established in
stitutions of the Austro- Hungarian
state"

bureau in Berlin.
The prisoners, it is declared, are no.

foreign to the calm-tempered German
mind. which does not excite itself any,

OF so many thousands of war prisoners
of all nationalities."
