 PROHIBITION
 MOvESF0RWARD
Senate Adops Leaders Con-
 promise on "Bone Dry" /"
 Effective July 1 and Con- tinuing During the War
Republican A. P. Leased WIre1


 WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-National prohibition moved a considerable step forward today in congress.
 Without a record vote being taken or requested, the senate today adopted the leaders' compromise on bone dry ?rohicitlon. effective July 1, 1919. and continuing during the war and until the American troops are brought home and demobilzed.
 Plan Passage Friday
 The compromise, an amendment bv Senator Sheppard of Texas, prohibi- tion leader. to the s11 ,0OO, 900 emergen- cy agricultural appropriation bill is eNl ectvd to remain in the measure un- der the harmony agreement of wei and Giy factions, although technical iy subject to another vote. Passage O. the bill itself is planned tomorrow and the measure will be returned 10 the house. which is expected by pro- hlbltion advocates to accept the sen ate provision.
 Amendments Defeated
 Efforts to change materially the Sheppard substitute were futile. Amendments to advance and defer the effective date and to extend the time for it's operation against beer and wine were overwhelmingly defeated without record Toll calls.
 That there was any agreement among leaders against having record votes was denied by Senator Sheppard and other advocates and also oppon- ents of prohibitory legislation.
 Makes Vigorous Fight
 Senator Phelan of California made | a vigorous fight for longer lease of life for the wine and beer indus i tries. He offered amendments making the effective date for their prohibition June 90, 1920. instead of a year pre- vious. as the amendment provides, and also applying the later date to wines alone. Both were rejected over whelmingly by viva voce votes and sufficient senators did not support Senator Phelan's request for roll ! call. Another Phelan amendment, drowned in a roar of "noes" would have extended the effective dates for wines six months longer, or until De cember 31, 1919.
 Colorado Senator Objects
 Senator Thomas of Colorado op- posed the amendment because he de- clared the government needs all pos sible revenue sources and because it IS not a war promotion measure, be- ing effective too long distant. He also objected to the provision in the amend ment permitting the exportation of in toxican,s. asking if liquor is so abom inable to this country, why isn't it to our reighbors?"
 The amendment as passed is a sub stitute both for the original amend ment of presentative Randell of California prohibiting use of money provided in the agricultural appropria- tion bill until the president should ex- ercise his present authority to stor l manufs cture of beer and wines Gan l amendment adopted by the house when it passed the bill May 2S last and for . tfe original senate agriculaure com nlittee provision to stop sales of all in- [ toxicating beverages January 1, next

 Since the caving in of the German line by the fall of Chaulnes and Rove the French literally have overrun the southern portion of Picardy, having reached the western bank of the canal du Nord along almost it's entire length and captured the town of Noyon which, surrounded by hills. has stood defiantly for days under a rain of shells.

GERMANS ARE DRIVEN BACK
 BY AMERICANS
United States Troops Ad-
 vance Over Plateau To- ward Juvigny Under Cross
 Fire. Tanks Effective

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 29.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) ).-Accompanied by fleet of tanks and covered by heavy ar forward carly today against the Ger man lines that slowly and reluctantly fell back over Juvigny plateau. The little operation carried out yesterday by the French and Americans had been merely preparatory to the attack which began at ' o'clock tl1is morning. The kink had been taken out of the line yesterday but no determined effort was made to advance to any extent.
 Shell Germans Vigorously
 The firing was continuous through out the night on both sides, the Ger man guns being especially active. The rains of the early eveHing ceased be- fore the ground had been converted into mud, so when the orders were given today the men moved forward unimpeded.
 The German positions were shelled most vigorously by heavy guns, nor tars and light pieces, firing almost pointblank, as we'll as by long range naval guns which reached the positions far and near. And then the infantry advanced.
 Up over the plateau the infantrymen went towards Juvigny and across the little railroad running north and south. | The Germans immediately began to employ the tactics of similar retreats, leaving their rear defended by a line of machine guns hidden behind every clump of brush, promontory and woods | Only a few attachments of infantry were left, the enemy again adopting measures calculated to save the most men possible.
 Deliver Deadly Cross Fire
 From Couronne woods and another little wood standing like sentinels be- tween Juvigny and the American lines the German guns delivered a deadly cross fire. Juvigny is only a village but located along the side of a hill it offered a peculiar opportunity fol defense, until the advancing force: VI . were able to make it untenable.
 The Germans then retired furthe east into more broken ground. Tn, frontage assigned to the American was less than two miles. That par in which Juvigny was located was tn scene of a dramatic tank drive. Unde the cover of artillery, the light Frencl tanks flirted along both sides of tn path up to the little place. smashin, down one machine gun nest after an other. in spite of the employment b. the Germans of their new tank gun, sort of super -Mauser
