LONDON. March 2s.-The British
sttement says that severe fighting
took place yesterday evening and
last night astridc the Somme and
northward from Albert to Boyclles:
repeated attacks by the enemy along
the valley OF the Somme and in the
uelghborhood of Beaumont. Hamcl.
Pulsieux and Moyenneville were re.
pulsed with heavy loss TO the Ger.
mans. The British have captured
some prisoners and machine guns.
The fighting on both sides OF the
Somme is continuing fiercely. The
enemy opened heavy bombardment
Of the British dcfcnses east OF Arras
and the attack in that sector is de-
yelOplng TO considerable proportions.
GERMANS HAVE wIpENED
BATTLE FRONT
The reference TO the attack east OF
Arras is taken to mean that the Ger.
mans have widoncd their battle front
and are delivering new stroke in
the north. These attacks mark the
second phase OF the battle. There
has been considerable discussion of
the possibility OF a German drive for
the coast with the channel ports of
Calais and Dunkirk as its objective.

China Gives $1,200,000

PEKING, Nov. 90 (By The Associated
Press) When John r. Mott, chairman
of the American United War Work
Campaign suggested that China's con-
tribution to the fund should be $780,
600 in gold, the Pekihg committee the
president of which is Dr. Paul Samuel
Reinsch, American Minister to China,
advised him that the sum which might
be expected would be $2oO,o0O silver,
almost double the estimate. Pledges
now exceed $l,200,OOO, silver, which is
virtually twelve times the amount sug-
gcsted by Mr.. Mott.
The Central government has con
tributcd $4,000 in gold, The Provin
cial government of Kiangsu has pledged
$3.50, 900; Chill and Snantung, $1O0 O00
each. and every Chinese ministry has
given from $4,000 to $4,000.

New York To Be Beer-less
By April, Brewers T Predict

New York probably will be saloon
less long before next July, when ma
tional prohibition goes into effect.
The supply Of beer, the brewing of
which must cease December l. VII last
only until April, it is estimated Dis
titled liquor stocks are rapidly being
exhausted, because none has been man
ufactured for beverage since Septem
ber last year. This will leave saloons
and cafes only wines to sell for three
months before they must close alto
gether. The effect, according to liquor
dealers, will be to bring about prohibit
tion some time before the law contem-
plates.
Few saloons will be able to exist on
the sale of wines alone, so that hun
dreds will close as soon as they sell
their stocks
The end of the saloon and liquor
business in New York will affect prop

places. Thousands of bartenders, por-

ployed in cafes and saloons will have
to seek other positions. Besides being
