HOPES OF "DRYS" DIMMED
BY CLASH IN OWN RANKS
One Faction Opposes Prohibition
Rider to Food Bill-Wilson
Reported Against Move.

WASHINGTON. June 13.-war time
prohibition to-day suffered severe
setback at the hands OF the prohibition
lists themselves. Dlssension in the
dry" ranks in the Senate IL so serious
as TO make It doubtful that the pro-
posed prohibition rider to the emer-
gency food act can pass.
Some of the most ardent "drys" are
violently opposed to the Jones
amendment prohibiting the sale OF
any sort Of intoxicating beverage for
the duration OF the war. They insist
that the question OF prohibition ought
to be settled upon the Constitutional
amendment recently submitted to the
States and not by a rider to food act.
Senator Smith. South Carolina. has
discussed the Jones amendment with
the President and intimated to his coll
leagues to-day that the President
thinks the Jones amendment poor
way to handle the prohibition question.
The President, II was learned. indicated
his belief that wiser way would be to
Introduce the prohibition question as
separate legislation.

Sorted and Counter-Attacked at
Favorable Opportunity and
Drove Germans AWAY.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. Wednesday, Juno ~ CAS-
ISOLATED Press). The defense OF Cour-
celles. on the left wing OF the battle
front, by the French against attacks
repeated day and night from juno Q
TO June II makes a wonderful story
OF herolsm. The village. which is
most important owing to its COM
manding position, was for forty-elght
hours almost surrounded by the en-
envy. but the French held on and
when n favorable opportunity came
SORTED and counter-attacked, repuls-
ing the Germans from the vicinity.
The Germans tried every possible
rusc. as well as force, to take the
village. The growing crops on the
fertile land in the vicinity were a
source OF considerable trouble TO the
defenders, as the Germans could creep
| through them until they reached the
edge OF the village. The enemy also
covered their helmets with clumps Of
grass and weeds and crawled slowly
forward. They could not, however.
shake the determination OF the French
to retain possession Of the village.
The spirit of the offensive was so
high among the Allied troops that
they continued their advance on the
left to-day. despite the fatigucs they
had undergone since the beginning OF
the week. Another batch OF sevora
hundred German prisoners wal
brought in. together with numerous
machine guns.
