FIGHT FOR PROHIBITION.
PLAN IN AGRICULTURAL BILL
EFFECTIVE NEXT YEAR.
Hard Fight COming-Substitute OF.
fered by Norris for Amendment
Proposed by Jones Approved by
Committee.

Washington, June 27.-Carrying an
amendment providing for national
prohibition as a war measure but not
fully effective until June, 1919 the
1000, 900 emergency agricultural ap-
preparation bill was reported late to-
day to the senate. The present plan is
disposed of and a bitter fight is ex-
pected by many senator's.
The prohibition amendment offered
by Senator Norris of Nebraska as a
substitute for the bill of Senator
Jones, was adopted by the senate ag-
riculture committee, to 3. II pro-
hibits the sale of distilled spirits and
the manufacture of wine or the re-
moval of liquors now held in bonds af-
ter June 80, 1919. The manufacture
of beer will be stopped three months
after the passage of the bill.
The amendment was approved by
the committee at a three hours ses-
SION during which opponents made fu-
tile effort to have it amended so as
to permit the manufacture and sale OF
beer for six, and then four months
alter enactment
Extensive hearings on the question
OF prohibition during the war were
held by the committee. The proposal
was opposed and approved by high
government officials and others.
Chairman Hurley and cambridge
Colby, Of the shipping board, were
among chief opponents because of
the effect they feared the taking of
beer from the workmen would have
on the ship building industry. Secre-
tary Daniels who did not appear as
an advocate of prohibition said that
after the sale of liquor was prohibit-
ed around the Mare Island navy yard
and the Newport torpedo station, tho
workmen showed greater efficiency.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, anil
other prohibition leaders were con-
fident tonight of the passage of the
prohibition amendment. Opponents,
however, expected a strong fight to
be made in view of the fact that ihe
constitutional amendment now is
awaiting action by the States.

For Use OF Farmers Who Raise the
Wheat.


Washington. June 27.-On further
appeal from Representative James F..
Byrnes. OF Aiken. Federal Food Ad-
nainistrator Hoover today directed
that kilograms be sent to every food
administrator In all Southern States
instructing them to see that the coun-
Try agents permit mills to grind and
deliver to farmers out OF the wheat
latter furnish from their own farms,
a supply OF -four sufficient to meet
the needs OF the families and depend
ents OF tho farmers for one year.
Previously after hearing the injus-
tice OF the one month supply limit
explained by Mr.. Byrnes. the federal
food administrator had undertaken a
temporary solution OF the trouble by
directing that each farmer be per-
mitted TO have n supply ground that
would carry him until October 1.
Mr. Byrnes told MIR. Hoover today
that the temporary remedy was nv
no means satisfactory or just and the
order allowing years supply In each
cass is the result.

Nothing especial has been going on in my theatre of warfare until agout three weeks ago." writes Del mer A. Thompson. who is serving in France in the Ambulance Corps, in a letter dated on October 10th.
 His letter continues:
 "We arrived on the Front about three weeks ago. and have taken part in one of the biggest battles of the war. I will tell you as much about it as I think will get by the censor. This battle is one of the six big bat ties still raging, and while 1 can not give you the sector, you will know where the Americans are driving the Huns across the lines.
 Little did we know when we pitched our tents in the dark of the woods that we were only three or four kilometers from Fritzie's trenches, for this was a quiet sector at that time. But the Hun had his suspicious, for every now and then he would send one of his big ones over only to tear a small crater in Mother Earth farther on. Of course this was annoying, to say the least, for cheechakos the first night out, but we managed to snatch a few hours sleep after a long and tire some hike. However, when he con tinued with increased fury, adding his deadly gases, it was too much for us, for we were not ready for the fray, and as we were non-com- batants, we were moved back of the lines until the big guns started.
 Never will l forget that night, for l was out most of it on a ration de tail and saw the barrage as it started. I really didn't think it was possible to concentrate so many of

Miss Sylvia Coney, of New York, and Miss Sarah Fleming Mcintosh, of Boston, both American Red Cross workers, had this unique distinction conferred up on them as reward for services rendered the BersaglierL An elabo- rate military ceremony, conducted just behind the firing lines to the accompaniment of the booming of big guns. marked the induction of the American girls into the splendid Italian military organization.

found, for the fire was too stiff for them.
 Little did they think it was pos sible to dig them out of their holes, for this was the original Hindenburg line and was certainly well fortified I spent two days in this section of
 what was No Mans Land and to see the way these Huns had built
 their trenches and dugouts, would convince you that they were here to stay. However, they did not know the Americans. Many of these dug outs are reinforced with cement and heavy iron girders and run to a depth of 30 to 40 feet Some were electric lighted regular palaces with walks running like streets in a town
 You know they have been on the
 run ever since, for I can almost see
 on the front window of the Empire Americans take five miles of old
 Hindenburg line in fierce fight and something similar every day for a
 week, for such has been the success
 of this battle.
 Unfortunately, I was left behind
 with the Supply Department so did
 not get up to the front line trenches
 during this battle, as did many of
 our boys. We were divided into sev-
 eral sections, some going to First Aid Hospitals, some to Ambulances and others to Field Service for first aid and stretcher work Of course they saw the battle at it's height We suffered only three casualties in
 our company, which seems remark
 able when you hear the cannonad- ing.
 You must remember this success was not gained without some effort and without considerable loss. This was one of their hardest positions and was surely fortified, and to say they were completely routed by the Americans when the French could not dig them out in four years means something

 ''If you think for a minute your ohcie oahiihy has uhueTestlmated his job over here, you should see the way things go on up at the front. At this minute. as I write, in front of me are hundreds of nam moth trucks speeding to the firing line. and this boulevard reminds me of Fifth Avenue traffic Last night as I returned with rations, saw a flock of air-planes that fairly made the sky black and counted nearly a hundred in the lot. They were all back from trip across the line. Things of this kind impress one with the fact that we. are in this thing to win-and it won't be long
