PROHIBITION BILL
MAY Be ADOPTED
Before, Senate as Rider
to Important Measure
YEAS AND NAYS HEARD
Psesident Wilson Understood to
Have Declined to Interfere in
Much Discussed Question.

Washington, June 19.-President
Wilson is understood to have de-
clined today to interpose active op-
position for the present at least to
the Jones amendment to the S11,-
100000 emergency agricultural ap-
preparation bill providing for abso-
lutte prohibition during the war.
The president is said to have ta-
ken the position that, while he
would have preferred precipitation
Of the prohibition question in separ-
ate legislation he would not at this
time interfere in the matter, or so
long as it does not hold up final en-
actment of the emergency agricul-
tural bill or other necessary legisla-
ton. Should it interfere with such
legislation, it is understood the
president might ask that the amend
ment be eliminated.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
acting chairman of the senate agri-
culture committee, discussed the
question with the president late to-
day after cambridge Colby, repre-
senting Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board had offered vigorous
objection to absolute prohibition at
the hearing on the Jones amend
ment before the agriculture COM
mittee.

BREAK WITH TURKEY
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW
Americans Make
Raid Over Marne
AMERICANS MAKE 1T WARM
AROUND CHATEAU THIERRY
AND HUNS RETALIATE.

With the American Army in
France, June 19.-Two American
patrols crossed the Marne east of
Chateau. Thierry early this morning.
They established contact with the
hostile forces, killed a considerable
number of the enemy and brought
back prisoners. These were from
Landwehr units, which is taken as
an indication that no hostile attacks
are intended at this point in the
immediate future.
Late this afternoon American
machine gunners discovered a hos
tile party in considerable numbers
apparently making ready to attempt
to cross the river. But after these
guns were turned loose for few
minutes the enemy abandoned what
ever plans he had.
The American artillery east and
west of Chateau Thierry for several
hours late last night and this morh-
ing deluged the enemy with shells.
The enemy retaliated today with
numerous long-range batteries.

Do or Die Spirit Now
Seems Lacking With
Teutonic Allies.
EFFORTS BREAK DOWN
BEFORE ALLIED FIRE
In Days Gone by Followers of vii
helm and Karl Have Gone Ahead
Dispositions Seem to Have
Changed.

The Teutonic allies apparently
have lost their spirit of do or die.
Their attacks everywhere lately
have lacked the tenaciousness Of
days gone by.
Instead of ploughing through al
lied lines with stubborn indifference
to casualties so long as an objective
was gained, they now waver and
then halt in the face of the artillery
and rifle fire of the men barring
their way and with the points they
were trying to gain still far beyond
their reach.
Ambitious attempts by the troops
of the central powers in the past
few weeks have proven this. The
opening of gateway to Paris thru
the western front. running from
Montdidier to the Marne have failed
completely, the offensive on the
Italian battle line launched by the
Austrians seemingly has failed mis-
erably in the mountain regions and
apparently has almost been. stopped
along the Piave, while a stroke
started by the Germans against
Rheims broke down in it's inception
without the enemy taking a yard of
terrain.
Troops Mown Down.
And in these various attempted
enterprises the high commands of
the German and Austro-Hungarian
armies have seen their men literally
mown down until battle fields have
been clogged with dead or wounded
as recompense to the allied troops
for the small bits of terrain they
yielded.
Claims of Austria.
The Austrian war office asserts
that the Austro- Hungarian troops
have crossed the Fosseta canal at
some points.
Rome, on the other hand, de-
clares that all the weak attempts
made in the Montello region were
completely repulsed.
The attacks of the Germans near
Rheims resulted disastrously to
them.

Ottoman Troops Also
Attack u. S. Consul
ate in Persia.
AMERICAN HOSPITAL
SACKED BY TURKS
Attacks on American Consulate and
1ooting of Missionary Hospital at
Tabriz Believed to Presage Long
Anticipated Action.

Washington, June 19.-Attack by
Turkish troops on the American
consulate at Tabriz, Persia, and the
looting of an American missionary
hospital in that city, reported to the
State Department today, was believ-
ed in some quarters here to presage
the long anticipated declaration Of
the existence of a state of war be-
tween the United States and the
: Ottoman Empire.
Diplomatic relations between the
two governments have been sus-
pended since April 20, '917, when
Turkey withdrew Abdul Hak Hus-
seinbey, who had been acting as
charge of the Turkish embassy here
since the compulsory retirement
of the ambassador which follow
ed his open criticism of the United
States Government. Necessarily
American Ambassador Morgenthau
was obliged to leave Constantinople.
Demand For War.
Recently there have been vigorous
demands in Congress for a declara-
ton of war on Turkey and Bull
paria, but President Wilson and the
State Department have not regard
ed this step as necessary or desira-
BILE, since there has been no actual
collision between American and
Turkish and Bulgarian troops.
: On the face of the reports from
American Minister Caldwell, at Te-
heren, officials were inclined to be-
lieve the sacking of an American
hospital, a Presbyterian institution,
over the protest of the Spanish
consul in charge as representative
of American interests, furnished
the necessary provocation for open
hostilities between America and
Turkey.
Meager Advices.
The advices were meager and the
minister explained that he was only
transmitting reports of matters not
of his own knowledge.
American doctors and nurses sta
toned in The hospital were believed
to have left Tabriz before the Turk
ish troops arrived.

TEUTONS LOSING GRIP
IN FACE OF FAILURES
Austria's Grain
Supply Is Out
GETTING SCANT AMOUNT NOW
FROM GERMANY AND
UKRANIA.

London, June -"Austria' s
grain supplies have completely run
out and such food of this nature as
she is getting is coming from what
Germany has allotted to her of the
Ukranian supplies according to in
dications in a Copenhagen dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany.
This message quotes an interview
with Herr Paul, the Austrian food
minister, obtained by the Vienna
correspondent of the Berlin Tage-
blatt in which the minister confirm
ed the news of the recent reduction
in the Austrian bread ration. This,
he said was due to insufficient sup
plies from Bessarabia and Hungary.
The entire 1917 harvest from
these sources had been distributed
and consumed the minister stated
and the Rumanian harvest had also
been used up.
The supplies exported from the
Ukraine were very unsatisfactory
in quantity, while the agreement
with Germany had been altered with
Germany taking over the entire
distribution of the Ukrainian sup
plies. Of these Austria was guaran-
teed certain quantities.
Herr Paul arrived in Berlin on
Tuesday, the message adds, to con-
fer with the military authorities.

"With unceasing pressure we

centration of fire did not give TRUCE

Yesterday morning was calm on

furiously.
''New attempts made by the enc
