PROHIBITION
STEP NEARER
Senate Adopts Agricultural
Appropriation Bill with
its Rider.

Washington, Sept. wide
prohibition was step nearer today
as the result Of adoption by the SEN
ate last night of the emergency agri-
cultural appropriation bill with its
Dry legislative rider and an an
nouncement, by the food administra-
ton that President Wilson would ex-
ercise his war time authority to pro-
.hibit the manufacture of beer after
next December /.
Under the legislation enacted by
the senate, the manufacture Of both
beer and wine would be prohibited
after next May until the American
troops are demobilized after the war
and the sale Of all intoxicants for
beverage purposes would he prohibit
ed after July 1. Under the president S
order stopping the manufacture of
beer after December 1, wine will be
the only intoxicating liquor which
can be manufactured in the United
States after that date, the distilling of
whtskey having been prohibited last
year as a food conservation measure.
wan Comply With Rules.
Newark, N. j., Sept. 7.-Christian
w. Feigenspan, president of the
United States Brewers association, in
o statement issued here today deplor-
ed the Sudden and drastic" federal
order that beer must not be manu-
factured after December /, but said
the members of the association would
| comply with the governments wishes
In order to help winA the war.
Near Beer Affected.
Washington, Sept. -Mapufactur-
ers of near beers and substitutes for
beer, which have developed a
fourishing business in prohibition ter
ritory, it was officially explained to-
day, are just as much affected by the
decision to cut of brewing of beer as
those who make the actual beverage.
Millions of dollars have been invest
ed in the business.
One of the largest breweries in the
country recently erected an, additional
million dollar plant solely for the
brewing of this beverage.
The principal use breweries can be
converted to are the manufacture OF
| ice. cold storage, making of yeast for
baking, rolling barley and grinding
grains for mill feed. All these pur-
poses would likely be considered es-
sential to the war or to the civil popu-
lation. q
Manufacture Of all other beverages
Of the so-called soft variety, some
months ago was curtailed fifty per
cent by the food ADMINISTRATION as q
sugar conservation measure. Further
curtailment OF the manufacture OF
such beverages and mineral waters
are under consideration and may take
the form of further reducing supplies
! OF sugar. fuel, materials for contain
ers and food products and limiting
Transportation facilities.

standing event Of the week on the
American front has been the passage
Of the Vesle and the carrying Of the

it's admirable character bellies that
very fact and thanks to the blows that
General Mangin struck elsewhere the
advance has been almost walk over,
but it must be remembered that there
were Americans with Mangin's army

they, who helped to deal the blow
which withered the German divisions

salient increasing in danger, the Ger
mans today began withdrawal from
the yesle valley to the right of the
Americans. On the west flank the
Americans held firmly, while the
French exerted sharp pressure on the
rear but there has developed a situa-j
ton considerably different from that
of the past few days in the region
westward towards Scissors. The Ger
mans fought more nearly in the spirit
of their traditions but slowly this
continued to give way, leaving little
doubt that the line from near Rheims
to that now along the Aisne would be
quickly Strengthened.
