ADOPTION 0F
 DRAF I BILL |S
 CERTAIN TO-DAY
Enactment by Congress and
 Transmission to President Appears Assured. Work or Fight Amendment Deleted
[ Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Enact- ment by congress and transmission to President Wilson tomorrow of the man power bill, broadening the army draft age limits to include men of IS to 45 years of age, appeared assured late to- day when the senate and house con- ferees unexpectedly reached a con- rlete agreement on all important dis putes striking out the senates work or fight amendment.
 Adoption of the conferees' agreement by both senate and house immediately after they reconvened at noon tomor- row was regarded by the conferees as certainty. Only disposal of two minor amendments and drafting of the formal agreement remain to be done tomorrow before the assembling of the two houses.
 To Expedite Enactment
 Elimination of the work or fight amendment. on which the senate con- ferees yielded, paved the way for the virtual agreement on the measure. The work or fight proposal was re- garded as the only dispute likely to cause delay and the senates managers consented to its deetion from the bill | largely to expedite enactment. Some complaint is expected from the senate majority favoring the work or fight clause, which organized labor repre- sentatiNes have vigorously opposed and the house voted down, but adoption tomorrow of the complete conference report by both senate and house was regarded as foregone conclusion
 Crowder Opposes Amendment
 The amendments left for the final conference. planned early tomorrow were those of Senators Penrose ot ! Pennsylvania. and France of Mary land, respectively, providing that reg istrants need not claim exemption ol deferred classification, and for badges or insignia for men deferred for in dustrlal or other service.

FIGHTING HARD 0N EDITH SIDES
 0F THE SCARPE
British Launch Fresh At
 tack and Wrest Valuable
 Ground From Desperately Resisting Enemy at River

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 2S.-(By The Associat- ed Press Jon both sides of the Scarpe river hard fighting continued today. the British launching fresh attacks and wrestling from the desperately re- slsting enemy additional valuable stretches of ground, many more ad- vantageous positions and numerous towns. including Croisilles.
 In the center of the wide battle field on which three British armies the First, Third and Fourth are operating there seems to be slight pause.
 South of the Somme. Faye and Ablaincourt were taken by the British without much difficulty, for the Ger mans, being hard pressed south of the points by the French, were ready to go with slight persuasion.
 Smother Hun Hordes Despite Storm
 Since early this morning storm after storm has been sweeping across this section of France. Despite the un- ! favorable weather the forces in the north have driven deep into the hur- riedly arranged enemy defenses, smothering hordes of the Huns. These Huns had been thrown into the fighting in this section in an ef- fcrt to keep the British from penetrat- ing the famous Queant-Drocourt switch line. which formed the northern | continuation of the old Hindenburr line after the British last year beat the | Germans back from Arras. This line has been approached in several places and has been reached in at least one place in the neighborhood of the Sen- see river
 Have Far Reaching Effects
 The success of this drive here and the breaking through of the old Ger man defense system may have far reaching effects.
 South of the Scarpe the Canadians captured all of Relieves after brisk street fighting. Their advanced patrols entered Remy and Haucourt. The British are well east of Fontaine, and tired from Hendecourt.
 Beat Down Enemy Resistance
 Heavy fighting is in progress from a point south of Lens southWard across the Scarpe river to the Arras- -Cambrai i road. The British are beating down the German resistance with steady blows.
 At least two new German divisions have just been identified in this fight ing. But while they are opposing the allies, and in most cases are battling hard. there have been some instances in which the enemy troops have shown themselves to be excessively nervous which IS as it should be. considering the pounding they have had and are

 The first trap in which the enemy ilndS himself is the triangle formed by the sharp curve of the Somme rlVer With Peronne it's apex and with Curlu on the Somme and Fresnes ie- spectlvely, it's northern and southern bases. This triangle is a little more than three miles deep and six miles Wlde, and in it the Germans are fight ing with their backs toward .he Solnme on both the north and the east
 Desperate resistance is being offered oy the enemy in order that his men may nave time to reach a haven of safety across the stream, but inc British are hard after their quarry and with the French little to the south almost up to the river to aid them by an outflanking movement it would seem that the odds are heavily against the Germans.
 French Spring Another Trap It was the French troops who sprane the other trap. With the fall ot Of Chaulncs, the French forces routed the enemy over front of about 1s miles and penetrated the region to q depth at some points of nearly sever | miles. From the north of Chaulnes tc Nesle the penetration of the French reached the heights on the left bank Of the Somme; southWard the advance left the French along the Canal .lu Nord at various points between Neslf and the outskirts of Noyon; south anC | southeast of Noyon gains also were and Noyon and the entire region he- tween Nesle and Soissons now are ir great pocket and with the Frenct pincers working hard to close upon if

 Motor production was fully up to expectations. MT. Ryan said, and each or the allied governments is seeking more Liberty motors than can be built
 We are making a good many Dc Haviland fours," he said. There has been good deal of criticism of them and there have been a good many changes made on them recently. These changes have not been discovered in the way that is generally supposed.
 When they were first built an of ficer from this bureau was sent to see these machines put together on the other side, to see them flown. This officer returned and reported his find inSs.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Plans of senate leaders for compromise legisla- tlon on national war time prohibition, proposed to become effective July 1. 1919. instead of January 1 next, moved forward today with the holding of ad- ditional conferences and the holding of hearings by the agricultural com mittee.
 The program for the bills considera- ton was upset by the death of Senator James. Tomorrow it is proposed to bring the bill before the senate for continuous consideration until disposal. Some senate leaders believe it may be passed before adjournment, under the compromise plan, but others believe more time will be required Possibility of the compromise negotiations oeing upset also made the bills future m. certain.
 Negotiations Progressing
 Representatives of the wet and dry factions continued to make prog ress today in the negotiations for the proposed compromise. Senator Shep- pard of Texas, prohibition leader spent the day in re-drafting the prohibition | clause. Difficulties and negotiations prevented perfection of the clause be fore tomorrow.
 While the private conferences of leaders was in progress, vigorous pro- test against the legislation, even as proposed by the compromise, was made before the senate agriculture commit tee at hearings on the prohibition pro- vision. Representatives of the wine industry, distilling interests, national hotel keepers and others offered strong opposition to the bill which they said would cause great financial lossess and hardships. The wine interests espe- cially are expected to make a fight in the senate for exclusion of the wine industry from operation of the law or a longer extension of time for prohibi- tion to become effective.

Considered Local Affair

SoHSfOereo Local ArfdIr
 MORALES, Ariz. Aug. 2S-Twenty- four hours after the skirmish between United States troops and MeXicans on the international border here late yes terday, conditions in the Mexican and American towns had resumed the nor mai and the tense situation of last night is now considered history and in the light of official investigations. is considered purely a local affair without international political aspects. No further trouble is expected.
 American and Mexican officials agreed today that the shooting started on the Mexican side of the border yes terday afternoon and that MexicahI custom guards and civilians were pri- marily responsible for the affair. Neither American nor Mexican soldiers were responsible for starting the shooting it was announced here to- night and only participated in the skir- mish after firing had started.
 Women on Casualty List
 Mexican Consul Zertuche announced late today he had sent an official re- port to Washington, D. C., stating that he estimated the Mexican casualties in yesterdays fighting at 13 killed and 15 wounded, including four Mexican women.
 However. it was believed here that the casualties would prove to be greater when careful investigation was made on the Mexican side of the line, as many dead and wounded were seen being carried into houses for con- cealment. The inability to get ac- curate estimates of the Mexican casu- alties was due to the fact that the port was closed last night and today all telephone communication suspenued and no Americans permitted to cross to the Mexican side.
 To be Buried at Arlington
 The condition of Lieutenant Luke Loftus remains serious, but it is now believed he will recover The bodies of Captain J. D. Hungerford and Pr vate Barney Lots, killed during the fighting are being held here.
 Captain Hungerfords body will be returned to his home in Washington D. C. tomorrow for burial in Arlington cemetery following military funera here. A military funeral will also bt given for Corporal Lots here tomorrow
