National Prohibition
Effective Next July 1st

Washington, Nov, 22.--Presi-
dent Wilson late yesterday signe d
the emergency agricultural appro-
priation bill with the legislative
rider providing for national pro-
hibition from next July 1until the
American army is demobilized
The prohibition amendment to
the agricultural bill caused a long
fight In the Senate. Officials of
the shipping board opposed its
adoption on the ground that tax
ing beer from ship builders would
make discomfort which would be
reflected in their work.
Secretary Daniels, who was
called before the Senate Commit
tee holding the hearing, combat
ted this theory, saying that after
sale of intoxicants around naval
establishments had been stopped
the output of the workmen in
creased. He referred especially
to the Mare Island, California,
navy yard.
Unless the presidential procla-
nation under the food control act
is rescinded, the prohibition
amendment will affect only the
manufacture of wine, for the
brewing of all beer must cease
December 1 under the Presidents
proclamation. The manufacture
of whiskey was stopped soon
after the nation entered the war.
Under the amendment the manu-
facture of wine will cease next
May /, and should brewing of
beer be allowed to continue after
December 1, it then would be
stopped May l, under the new
law. After next June 80 no in
toxicating liquors of any kind
may be sold in this country for
beverage purposes, except for ex-
port, until such time as the Pres
ident by proclamation declares
rehabilitation complete. The
amendment also prohibits the i'm
portation of any intoxicating bev-
erages into this country from the
time the bill is approved by the
President until the rehabilitation
of the army is completed.

GERMANY PREPARING
 FOR BIG NAVAL BATTLE
Part of Its Desperate Programme to
 End the War This Summer.

Washington, June 11.-Further eyi- Gence that Germany, in its efforts to end the war this summer, is planning to support it's land offensive by send :ng it's high seas forces against the combined British and American grand fleet, is given in an official dispatch today from Switzerland.
 "A telegram of an official nature, says the dispatch, lis being spread broadcast in Germany, which says the German admiralty is considering q big naval offensive. Orders. are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readiness and a certain num- Der of naval officers of high rank have been recalled from Switzerland and other neutral countries, where they have been spending their leaves.
 "The Kieler Zeituns speaks of ex-s .raordinary activity in the ports and the Hamburger Post publishes an in terview with von Tirpitz. who was asked if there was position to en- counter the English fleet. The admiral naturally replied in the affirmative, saying that after their land forces have pushed the French and English back on the other sides of Paris it will be the turn of the kaiser's boats to drive the English off the high seas"

New York, June 11.-Admission that The Finished Myster," the alleged se- ditious publication issued by the In- ternational Bible Students Associa- tion founded by the late Pastor Rus- sell. was not completed until after the United States declared war against Germany was made by George H. Fisher, of Scranton, Pa, who testified in the federal court today during the trial of Joseph F. Rutherford and seven "Russellite' associates on charg- es of conspiring to violate the espion- age act.
 William F. Hudgins, secretary of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Socie- ty, who earlier in the day had been declared in contempt of court for re- fusing t oanswer questions, was in- dicted by the federal grand jury this afternoon. He was held in 5000 bail.

SCHEME TO ENCOURAGE
 RECRUITING IN IRELAND
To Have American Regiments March
 Through Towns and Villages.

London. June Il (by A. P.)-The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Ex- press professes to be able to give the details of a plan for conducting a vol untary recruiting campaign in Ireland, and he understands has as one of it's great features the bringing of Ameri can regiments to Ireland to march through the towns and villages. These regiments, he says, will bring their priests with them.
 This plan, continues the correspond ent, will be carried out along lines re- sembling those of a general election under the controlling direction of Ed ward Shortt, the chief secretary for Ireland. He adds that important pro- gross has been made in the direction of enlisting the aid of the Nationalist party. Stephen Gwynn, a Nationalist member of the house of commons. is a member of the central committee under this plan, the correspondent states. while other Nationalist mem sbers have expressed wish to help. Arthur Lynch. Nationalist member fer West Clare. he continues. has agreed to serve as a recruitN 2 officer. and it
 is believed some others will follow MT. Lynch's example.
 John Dillon. the Nationalist leader meanwhile is maintaining a neutrSl attitude, the correspondent says, all though with a leaning toward the clerical opposition, which also still holds aloof, although there is reason it is said to hope that it's attitude will change before long
Norwich bulletin., 1918-06-12

The latest German official commit nication asserted the Germans had repulsed several attacks in this im- mediate vicinity.
 Comparative quiet still prevails on the .front between Soissons and Rheims although the Germans announce that northwest of Chateau Thierry, where the American marines, fighting side by side with the French, have several times decisively defeated the enemy. The Germans have repulsed with heavy losses attacks delivered against their front.
 On one of the most ambitious po- sitions for many days, Field Marshal Haig's troops in the Amiens sector have struck the Germans a nasty blow. It was the Australians who carried out the manoeuver, and they succeeded in advancing their line half mile over mile and q half length and took nearly 300 prisoners, includ- ing five officers. In addition twenty one machine guns and a trench nor tar were captured.
 On the Italian front there has been no infantry fighting of importance but numerous small affairs between patrol parties continue of daily occurrence. Likewise the artilleries of both sides are keeping up mutual bombardments,
 Another peace offensive7 by Ger many and Austria Hungary apparent ly is in the air. It is asserted that in Berlin the government and the high army command are discussing a dec laration of war aims. while from Vien- na comes the news that the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister in an in- terview has reiterated that he still adheres to the policy of peace by un- derstanding and that the dual mon- archy seeks no anrexations.
Norwich bulletin., 1918-06-12

The French troops fighting south east of Montdidier have turned upon the Germans in a violent attack and administered a severe defeat to the enemy over a front of about seven and a half miles between Rubescourt and St. Maur. It was over this front that the French since Sundays offen- sive began had held back the Ger mans from keeping pace with the ad- vance they were making from the center of the line south of Reasons Sur Matz toward the Disc river and where the onslaugilts of the invaders were met with defense in man and gun power that brought to the Ger mans enormous casualties.
 The village of Belloy. Genlis wood and the heights rising between Cour- ceiles and Mortemer were recaptured by the French and in addition to the inflicted of heavy casualties on the enemy Gen. Foch's men took more than a thousand prisoners and also captured guns.
 Tn the immediate center of the line hetween Montdidier and Noyon, where the Germans had been able to extend the apex of their drive to Antheuil, the enemy also wes attacked and driven back, but southwest of Noven he succeeded in reaching Machemont and Bethancourt, the last named place ying on the west bank of the Disc liver. Hard fighting still is in prog -ess in this region, with the French iisputing the attempts of the Ger mans to press onward.
 The American marines fighting in the Chateau Thierry sector have com pieted the capture of the Belleau wood from the Germans and with it's occu- patton took 300 prisoners.
