TEXAS DRY LAW |S
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 23. - The Texas state wide prohibition law was today declared unconstitutional in a majority opinion by the court of crimi- nal appeals. One judge dissented; the attorney general stated that a motion for re-hearing would be filed. Comp troller H. B. Terrell also states that he will issue no permits to sell intoxivating liquors until the motion for a re-hear- ing is disposed of by the court of crimi- nal appeals. Ten days are allowed for the filing of the motion, and technically the state remains dry until the motion is passed upon. However. it is under stood that some who have not re- deemed their licenses will open saloons immediately and take chances of being prosecuted, if the new trial is granted and the law held constitutional.
 None of the larger cities of Texas will be affected by the decision, as the ten-mile zone law prevents the open ing of saloons in them. This law be- comes effective immediately. A law which went into effect at the same time as did the statewide law prevents the issuing of licenses of saloons out side of incorporated cities and towns for retailing liquor. However, whole sale houses selling not less than a gal Ion may open in any wet territory.

 Naval Protection Efficient
 "In our overseas operations. 1 fec that we have good reason to be proud and thankful for results obtained. Oul losses have been exceedingly small considering the size of the force trans ported, and this is due to the efficient protection given American conveys by the naval forces. We also have beer greatly assisted in the dispatch o1 troops abroad by the allocation of cer- tain vessels from our allies, principally those of Great Britain.

 LONDON, Oct. 23.-Thc British wireless press says the entire UkrainIan ministry has resigned. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 23.-Advices received here from Vienna say that the first steps toward constituting a German Austrian federal state were taken at meeting held Tuesday, which was attended by all the reichsrat German deputies. An executive committee was elected and resolutions were adopted in accordance with the ob- iects of the meeting, which in cluded the formation of an inde- pendent state and a decision to seek access to the Adriatic by agreements with other peoples. It is the intention of the provisional assembly to act until the election of national assembly. which will frame constitution.
 A provisional government claims the right to represent the German Austrians in the peace negotiations.

BRITISH GRADUALLY FORGING HUNS OUT
 IF VALENC|ENNES

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 23.- tBy the Associated Press, 6 D. m.)- The British third and fourth armies today smashed through strong German defensive positions south of Nalen- cennes. They gained ground to depth of more than 1000 yards on an extended front, capturing many inn protant villages and several thousand prisoners, together with numerous guns, and driving a wedge into the en- emy position at what probably is the most vital point of the lines the Ger mans are holding.
 The fighting was of a deperate na ture, the German machine gunners holding out to the last. Large num- bers of the enemy were killed.
 The advance continues and the men, ace to the Germans, to the north and south of the front attacked, is hourly growing. Further retreats are eX- pected.
 Think VaIenciennes Evacuated
 North of the third and fourth armies. the British first army continued its attacks and reached positions well to the northeast of Nalenciennes, which is gradually being squeezed out. It is probable that the Germans have al ready evacuated that town.
 The British are approaching Le- quesney and were only about three miles from the gates of that place, ac- cording to latest reports and were still advancing.
 The heaviest fighting seems to have been in LEvequc wood, which is still being cleared up. although the British have passed completely around it and arc before the great Normal forest. On the edge Of this the Germans were reported to be concentrating at PreuX. Catillon was taken carly in the fight 1 ing by assault Ors is in British hands. The Germans. before retreating. blew up all the bridges over the canal be- tween Catillon and Ors.
 One corps holding the center of the | fourth army front opposite Le Cateau, had taken 500 prisoners early in the I day.

GERMANS FEAR AIR RAIDS

LONDON, Oct. 23.-A dispatch to the Daily Mail from The Hague says:
 From all information, available here, in Germany there is widespread dread of winter and of daily and nightly air raids from German airdromes in Bel gum which are now in the hands of the allies. It is indicated that such raids would produce internal results in Germany quite different from the pres. ent symptoms of unrest"

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The house of commons adopted a resolution to- day in favor of women sitting in parliament. The resolution was passed by a ma aiority of 249.
 Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, announced on August that, under a unanimous decision by the law officers of Eng land, Scotland and Ireland, women were not eligible to become candi- dates for the British parliament.
 The women have contended that extension of the franchise to them carried with it the right to sit in parliament and some have an nounced their candidates for gov ernment seats.

LODGE IS FIRM IN OPPOSING WILSON TERMS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Disapprov- al of President Wilson's course in con- tinuing the discussions with the Ger man government and in transmitting the request for an armistice and peace to the allied governments, was voiced tonight by Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, the republican leader in the senate. Senator Hitchcock of Nebras- ka, chairman of the senate foreign re- lations committee, approved the presi- dents reply, saying it would create a political crisis in Germany.
 The president" said Senator Lodge, says in his last sentence that if we must deal with the military masters and autocrats of Germany we must de- mand not peace.
 Two Governments Same
 We must demand. not peace negoti- ations, but surrender. With this, 1 am in full accord, as I was with the presi- dents statement of September 27th. In the first paragraph, the president says that as the present German govern ment, which as all the world knows is controlled by the kaiser and the mili- tary party, represents through it's min isters the majority of the reichstag. and an overwhelming majority of the German people. he feels that he can- not decline to take un with the allied governments the question of an armis- tice. With this, I am not in accord for the German government described in the first paragraph and that described in the last sentence are one and the same.
 Wouldn't Treat With Government
 My own view is a very simple one There is no German government in ex- istence with which 1 would discuss anything. I deplore at this stage, when we are advancing steadily to a com- plete victory, any discussion or ex- change of notes with the German gov ernment. The only thing now is to de- mand unconditional surrender. I would leave that to Marshal Foch and the generals of the armies. When they re- port that the German army has sur rendered and ceased to exist as an ar my in being, then, and not until then let the allies and the United States meet and agree what terms they will | impose on Germany to insure the safe l ty of civilization and mankind"

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 23. The stiffCst fighting of the American offensive west Of the Mouse was under way today. The line is swayins back and forth.
 lu the region Of Grand Pre-, on the western cnt of the front, the Ameri- 0sus thrcw back repeated violent Ger man counter attacks. On the northern ClGc Of Grand Ire the Americans cap turrd s- prisoners. including three of- fcers. They also took eight enemy machine guns.
 With their backs Co a great series of woods the Bois de Bas and the Bois do EourEo-ne included, the Germans arc fighting for their lives. Prisoners assert that the woods are literally full of machine guns and guns of heavier DalibrC. and these' prisoners have ex- pressed the opinion that the Americans can never capture Bourgogne and the woods Co the northwest.
 The American troops fought all Wednesday in the face of machine gun fire from ralma farm to hill number go. northwest of Grand Pre-. Upon the slopes Co the north of Grand Pre- the German machine gun nests extended from Hin 2o4 to Bellejoyeuse farm.
 North Of Campigneulle several light attacks by the Germans were repulsed. ln one instance some Germans were wounded and two were captured. These men came forward calling. "Samcrad.' then opened fire with rifles which had been strapped upon their backs. Light forces of infantry at tackled immediately afterwards. when Inc Americans refused to rush forward in response Co the "kamerad' trick.
 Along the same part of the front the Fermans arc using light rolling ma cnine suns. moving from place to place, particularly at night, with the object of conccalinE the positions of their heaviest suns. The German heavy artillery shellcd Sommerance and other towns in that region and as far as the Mouse. drenchcd the woods within the American lines with gas at intervals.
 An carly morning mist and smoke screen assisted the Americans. who ad- Nanced for a distance of about two- thirds of a mile at certain points and gained positions of advantage. incmd- ing ridges on either side of Grand Pre-. During the day the Americans took 200 prisoners and others are now coming in.
 The Germans are using. for the most part. machine guns and light artllefy Eith plenty of gas. The enemy ma chine gun nests were pounded all day hv tho American artillery and by bombing machines, but tho Germans apparently had dug in against shells.

H f1G hW E nlGElN AfNm ' IN FRANCE, Tuesday, Oct. 22.- By the Associated Press) - Searching the skies at night for German aviators has become the newest trick of American fliers, who are already alluding to them selves as might air eyes" When the enemy bombing planes came in groupes, one after the other on Monday night, the American night fiiers went out in force to hunt for them. Among the Americans was Major Harold Hartney of Pasa- dens. Cal, who got nearer to the Germans than any other of our fiers.
 ''l was SO close to one Boche,' Najcr Hartney ssld, "that 1 could see his tracer bullets at intervals, shot through the air like lightning flashes, and followed them here and there. but ! could not see the 5oehe. Then l unanswered and tired to get the German between myself and the moon, but never could see him."
 These night patrols are continu- ing even when the weather is cloudy, the American fiers going out in relays until dawn.
