United STATES TO
RECOGNIZE CzECHS
NORTHERN AUSTRIAN STATES
ASSURED OF STANDING IN
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
War Materials and Supplies and FL
nancial Assistance to be Furnished
czecho- SIovak Armies Operating
In Serbia and Southern Russia.

Observation-Disclosures of the
Czecho- SlOvak nation on September 8
by the United States government as
sures the Czechs of northern Austria
Of standing in the league of nations.
Since 1t follows similar action by
Great Britain, France and Italy, it may
have a far-reaching effect on the war
situation. 1t Is expected to produce
new alignment of demands upon
Germany and Austria Hungary at the
peace table.
The first effect of the American gov
ernment's action, state department Of
ficials said, will be in the opening of
the way to furnishing much needed
war materials and supplies to the
CzechO- Slovak armies operating in
Siberia and southern Russia. Finan-
cial assistance also can be given and,
while no request for such aid has yet
been made, it is expected and officials
said it would be granted.
Officials say the CzechO- Slovaks, if
properly equipped, would be able to
make more serious offensive. The
Czechs in Russia and Siberia are anx-
ious to re-establish an eastern front
and are said to lack only equipment
and moral support. 1t is estimated
there are from 10000 to 100000
CzechO-SlOvaks in Russia and Siberia.
These, with the aid of such military
assistance as Is being furnished by
the United States and the allies and
the large numbers of Russians which
they may attract are expected to sue
cessfully combat German and Aus
TRAN aggression in the east.
In extending recognition to the
Czecho-Slovaks, the United States
went further than Great Britain and
France by recognizing the Czecho- Slo-
wax national council as de factO bel
ligerent government.

places and woman was grabbed in a
nearby office building.
The list of dead follows: William

in the building at the time of the ex-

French Occupy Old Trenches AIono
Front to North Of Aisne River.

Paris.-The French have occupied
all their old trenches along the whole
of the front to the north of the Aisne
river and also have captured the
towns of Ham and Chauny in the sal

official communication issued by the

South of the Aisne the American
troops have made further progress in
the region of Villers-en-Prayeres and
RevillOn.
The French advance east of the
Canal du Nord at some places has
reached depth of more than ten kilo-
meters.
At the present rate of progress the
entente allies will soon have driven
the Germans from all the ground
gained by them this year and the
Offensive operations may enter a new

AMERICANS FACE
LONG DRY SPELL
SENATE APPROVES BILL FOR
NATIONAL PROHIBITION AFTER
NEXT JULY.
Manufacture Of Beer in the United
States to Ee Prohibited AFTER
December l Next as
War Measure.

Washngton.-The $2OO0,oO0 emerg-
ency agricultural appropriation Dill
with it's rider for national prohibition
from next July l until the American
armies are deinObilizyd after the emu
Of the war, was passed Friday by the
senate without Il roll CALL
Before the final passage of the meas
ure, the senate voted, 40 to e, to retain
the prohibition rider. A final effort to
postpone the effective date OF the
dry" legislation was defeated.
The bill now goes to the house, and
because of the many amendments in
serted by the senate, 1t undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. PrOhibi-
ton leaders, however, expect the
house to agree to the dry rider. so
that there will be no possibility Of
changes being made by the senate and
house managers.
Senators voting against retaining
the dry legislation in the bill were
Brandegee of Connecticut, Gerry Of
Rhode Island, Phelan of California.
Pomerene of Ohio, Ransdell of Louis
lana and Underwood of Alabama,
while it was announced that many
members absent and paired favored
the amendment.
Making of Beer to End.
Manufacture of beer in the United
States will be prohibited after Decem-
Der l next as war measure.
This announcement was made Fri
day by the food administration,
which said the decision had been
reached at conferences between Presi-
dent Wilson and representatives Of the
fuel, food and railroad administra-
tons, and the war industries board.
The manufacture of whisky was pro-
hibited last year, and there have been
repeated demands in congress that the
president exercise his wartime power
to stop the manufacture of beer as Il
food conservation measure.

Wednesday with General Peyton G.

On sector described officially as
halfway down between scissors and
the vesle river.
In the sector from Rheims down to
the Swiss border.
This latter sector has been not much
In the public eye, but the daily reports
to the war department show that the
Germans are making thrusts along
that line in the vain hope of causing
General Foch to weaken the sectors
where the bl0odiest work is going on.
General March told of the landing

troops at vladivostoi under the COM
mander-in-chief, General VIM. s.
