bftiOn After July I, 1910.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Nation-
wide bone dry" prohibition effective
July l, 1919, and continuing during
the war at least, loomed to-day as a
strong probability through compro-
mise in Congress.
An agreement for passage Of legls-
lation to stop sales of all Intoxicating
beverages on that date leaders Of
both wet and dry factions in the SEN
ate stated tonight seemed to be in
sight. President Wilson was repre-
sented as not opposing. the legislation
and Senators believed the House
would accept the proposal under ne
gotiation. A definite "gentlemen's g
agreement" in the Senate is expected
in few days.
The war time prohibition bill
pending in the Senate came up for
consideration to-day under the con-
sent agreement made several days
ago giving 1t right Of way until dis
posed Of, but was temporarily dis
placed while the Senate proceeded
with the mlan-power bill. Then lead
ers supporting and fighting the pro-
hibition legislation proceeded with
corridor and cloak-room discussion
on the compromise.
AS IL nOW StaHuS the Dill would
stop sale Of intoxicants January 1st,
next. Al President Wilson's sugges-
tion, according to Senator Sheppard,
OF Texas, prohibition advocate, post
ponement Of the date was agreed to
BY spokesmen of both factions. The
President, it was stated, believes ad.
ditional time should be given for
financial and other adjustments.
In to-day's negotiations most of
the prohibition advocates we're
agreeable to fixing July as the date.
They first insisted that 1T should be
April, but majority we're said to
nave consented to the latter date.
On this opponents of legislation were
declared to be convinced that 1t can
not be defeated and satisfied with
the proposed legislation of time,
Formal conclusion OF an agreement
Is expected to pave the way for pass

THE GREAT MAN-POWER BILL.
House Passed Bill by Record Vote Of
$3.50 to Two.

Washington, Aug. 24.--The new
man-power bill extending the select
i've draft to all men between the
ages of 1S and As years was passed
by the House tonight with only mi
nor changes in the original draft of
the War Department.
On the first roll call only two mega
tive votes were cast-by Representa-
tive London, Of New York, the So
cialist, and Representative Gordon, of
Ohio, Democrat. The final vote was
announced as 336 to 2. ......
The final vote was preceded by
three days debate, during which the
chief contention was an amendment
to defer the calling of youths from
s to 20 years until older men had
been summoned. A final effort was
made by Chairman Dent to-day to
place 18-year-old boys in a deferred
class, but a motion to recommit the
bill to the military affairs commit
tee with instructions to incorporate
that amendment, was lost, 191 to
LAG.
Goes to Senate.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where leaders tonight predicted It's
passage early next week. The Senate
plans to substitute the House bill
for the measure favorably reported
by the military committee of that
body and thus expedite its final en-
actment. Congressional leaders hope
to send the measure to the President
by the latter part of the week.
Amendments Fail.
An attempt In the House to insert
a work or fight amendment by which
those exempted from military service
on Occupational grounds would be re-
quired to remain at their civil tasks
failed, SO to 81. The amendment
was directed against strikes and was
characterized by officials of the
American Federation of Labor as q
conscrtption Of labor. The House to-
day reversed its action Of yesterday
in voting to include members of Con-
gress In the draft. BY q rising vote,
SO to 143, it defeated an amendment
by Representative Gregg. Of Texas,
which would make Congressmen
State Legislators and Federal and
State executive officers liable to draft.
No Police Exemptions.
An amendment by Representative
Smith, of New York, to exempt police
officers in cities Of more than 500,-
600 population and designed to re-
lieve the situation in New York,
where a shortage of police officers is
said to be threatened, was defeated.

ALLIED ADVANCE CONTINUES.
Germans Forced at Places Back of
the Old "Hindenburg Line"

e,
Aug. 3O.-Biaches, on the south bank
of the Somme and about mile from
Peronne, has been captured by Field
Marshal Haig's forces. British
troops have entered Lesboeufs and
patrols have passed through Morval
to the southeast.
British troops this morning push
ed forward in an easterly direction
from Bapaume. They have also made
further advances to the north of
Lens. At one place they pushed for
ward for a distance Of a thousand
yards.
Fires indicating the withdrawal of
the Germans on the northern end of
the British front, and especially in
the Lys salient, are burning. Many
explosions have been observed be-
hind the enemy lines.
The Germans have been driven be-
hind the River Somme everywhere
along the British front. The whole
western bank is now in the possession
Of Field Marshal Haig's troops, and
at one place just south of La Chap
Gillette the British forces crossed to
the east bank.
In the operations concluded this
morning 800 prisoners fell into the
hands Of the British on this side of
the river, being unable to get away
quickly enough. The Germans have
destroyed all the bridges across the
Somme, including the railroad bridge
and the regular bridge at Peronne.
Northeast of Peronne, however, af-
ter the river changes its course from
the north to the west, the British
swept in so quickly that the cause
way over the Somme at Clery, on
the north bank, was secured intact.
Clery Is in British hands.
Hindenburg Line Crossed.
London. Aug. 30.-Troops of Field
Marshal Haig crossed the Hinden-
burg line to the south OF 'Bullecourt.
North Of Soissons French troops
to-day captured Hill No. 159, and
they now hold all the high ground
between Soissons and Leury, accord
ing to information received from the
Battle front this evening.
German Defenses Being Smashed.
New York, Aug. 30.-Moving for
ward with sustained power, British
armies east and southeast of Arras
appear to have crashed clear through
the Hindenburg line. Dispatches re-
ceived to-day seem to indicate that
now they have begun to "roll up"
the German forces on the front to
which the enemy is retreating along
the whole Picardy front.
Bullecourt, which was on the Hin
denburg line, was taken this morn
ing. Hendecourt-des-Cag agnicourt, to
the northeast of Bullecourt, also has
fallen before Field Marshal Haig's
men. South of Hendecourt and
slightly to the east, Riencourt has
been captured by the advancing
British. East OF Arras astride the
Scarpe additional gains are reported.
Further south the British have
taken the village of Combies, where
there was terrific fighting during the
German retirement a year ago last
March.
