 Speaking in support of the amendment Senator Norris of Nebraska denied con tentions that because of immense loans made by banks on whisky held in bono national prohibition would bring about financial disaster.

MORE AMERICAN TROOPS ARRIVING
 0N THE BORDER
Another Conference Is Held Between American and Mexican Commanders.
 Quiet Now Reigns

Nogales, Ariz., August 29.--Genera Plutarco Elias Gales, military governor of Sonora, issued manifesto tonight ordering all civilians in Nogales, sonora .to deliver their firearms and sanmunttios Ito the general military headduarters at once to prevent further sniping across the border.
 The manifesto was distributed in the form of handbill and resulted in many rifles, pistols and much ammunition be- ing surrendered to the military authori- ties General Gales apparently has complete control of the situation across the line tonight and no further trouble Is anticipated. The Mexican town is un- der martial law.
 Nogales, Ariz, August 2s.--Another conference was held between Gen. P Elias Gales and General Cabell at the international bridge at noon today General Gales announced he had suf- ficient forces on the border to keep the peace on his side of the line.
 American troops from nearby posts were arriving today to reinforce the soldiers patrolling the border. It was generally believed this afternoon that large body of federal troops had reached the vicinity of Nogales
 The name of the American soldier slightly wounded last night was given today as Private Edward F. Stiier His address was not announced.
 Official reports to the war and state departments today emphasized the bor- der trouble at Nogales, will soon end Eff it has not already ceased.
 Reports from Major General Hol- brook. in command on the border, said quiet had been restored. State depart ment dispatches told of satisfactory re suits from the conference between Brigadier General Cabell and Govern or Gales, At the Mexican embassy here 1t was stated that Governor Gales could be counted upon to stamp out the activities of the German propagandists in Sonora.
 Such information as the state depart ment received on the forcible entry of armed Mexicans into the American con- sulate at Noga1es, Sonora. and the wounding of American Consul Tooley indicated that the incident was the act of irresponsible persons and not the Mexican military.
 The violation Of the consulate is now under investigation but there is every disposition on the part of the officials here to treat the affair as a purely local incident which should not be elevated to an international issue

SENATE DECIDES l. 0N PROHIBITION
 I'LL END OF WAR Sheppard Amendment Is Adopted by Solons With
 out a Roll Call BEGINS
 ON JULY 1, 1919 Senator Phelan Puts Up Strong Fight for Amendment to Extend Effec- tive Date to June 30, 1920,
 But Loses

Washington, August 20. National prohibition moved a considerable step forward to- day in Congress.
 Without a record vote being taken or requested the Senate late today adopted the leaders compromise on "bone-dry" prohibition, effective July I, 1919, and continuing during the war and until the American troops are brought home and demobilized.
 The compromise amendment by Senator Sheppard of Texas. prohibition leader, to the s11 .0oO.OOo emergency agricultural ap- proprfation bill, is expected to remain in the measure until the harmony agree ment of wet and dry" factions. al though technically subject to another vote. Passage of the bill itself is planned tomorrow. and the measure will be returned to the House. which is ex- pected by prohibition advocates to ac- eept the Senate provision.
 Adoption of the compromise legisa- tion came after todays debate, spirited between champions and opponents of prohibition. but many marks of lack of interest. including vacant seats, both on the floor and in the galleries, because tho compromise was regarded as insur- ing approval by the Senate
 Efforts to materially change the Shep- rard substitute, were futile Amend meEts to advance and defer the effective date, and to extend time for it's op- eration against beer and wine were over whemingly defeated without record roll calls
 That there was any agreement among the leaders against having record votes was denied by Senator Sheppard and other advocates and also opponents of prohibition legislation. The general un- d. rsta nding. it was declared. extended oEiy to support of the compromise amendment and to avoid obstructive de- Late or parliamentary tactics.
 With wet and dry" members evi- deptly observing their agreement to un te on the Sheppard draft. the Sen ate voted down without roll call an by Senator Trammell of Florida to move the effective date ahead to January l. 1919, as provided in the bill before the compromise agreement was reached.
 The amendment as passed is substi- tute both for the original amendment of Representative Randall of California, prohibiting use of msdey in the agricul- ture appropriation bill unless the Presi- dent should exercise his present authority to stop manufacture of beer and wines Ian amendment adopted by, the House when it passed the sill May g, Iast) and for the original Senate agriculture com mittee provision to stop sales of all in tcxicating beverages January 1, next.

beat down the opposition and are moving through Thilloy, just north of Bapaume. The whole British line here seems to be on the move. The Germans are falling back, leaving large numbers of machine guns on the ground out of which they are being pushed.
 By this movement the British are thrustinE out with the object of mak ing their lines conform with those in 1.-the north with respect to the old Him. denburg line. By reason of the fact that that line shoots off to the north west, the troops up near the Scarpe reached its continuation, in the shape of the Drocourt-Queant switch, earlier than the other divisions.
 In the north heavy fighting is in progress on both sides of Bullecourt and in front of that town. From south of Bullecourt all the way to the scarpe the operations are aimed at straighten- ing the line and gaining ground. Vil- lers-Carbonnell and Barleux have been taken.
 COUNTER ATTACKS LAUNCHED
 Within the last 24 hours the Ger mans have launched several heavy counter attacks, fresh troops being employed. In every case except one. th~ SASbiy WdS pSdlch pdCk With JST- rible losses, gaining no ground what soever.
 The one exception was a counter at- tack south of Gavrelle. north of the Scarpe, where the Germans manaced to penetrate the British lines. But they did not remain there long for they were driven out, and British posts were re-established as before The only result was to carpet the ground n rf v; mar dead.
 There has been extraordinarily heavy fighting for Greenland hill. This position was reached by the British. but was relinquished during counter attack yesterday. It Is now entire ly British once more The British cap- tured many prisoners Every counter attack delivered by the enemy also gave additional prisoners
 Just north of the Somme the Ger mans are offering stiff resistance from Hen. on the north bank of the river west of Peronne. They have dug them selves in here with many machine guns but 1t is not probable that they will be able to hold out long. for the push to the north will outflank the post tion.
 Except iIf the extreme north the fighting is through villages which have changed hands many times since the war began. The ruins in some cases become overgrown with weeds, grass and peoples more than oncn. only to be churhed up again Villages reported from time to time have been captured are not villages at all They are simply mounds of brick. stone mortar and wood. ground to pieces by tons of steel explosives.
 Evidence continues to be found showing how hurriedly the Germans left and the desperate condition they considered themselves to be in. Wells have been found with high charges of explosives in them which it was intended to destroy them The Ger mans in their haste. however, did not have time to detonate the bombs.
