NATION NOW FACES
LONG DRY SPELL
SENATE APPROVES BILL FOR
NATIONAL PROHIBITION AFTER
NEXT JULY. ~
Manufacture of Beer in the. United
States to Be Prohibited After
December I Next as
War Measure.

Washington THE $2000,000 emerg-
ency agricultural appropriation bill
with its rider for national prohibition
from next July l until the American
armies are demobilized after the end
of the war, was passed Friday by the
senate without roll call.
Before the final passage of the meas
ure, the senate voted, 45 to G, to retain
the prohibition rider A final effort to
postpone the effective date of the
dry" legislation was defeated.
The bill now goes TO the house, and
because of the many amendments in
serted by the senate, 1t undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. Prohibit
ton leaders, however, expect the
house to agree to the "dry" rider, so
that there will be no possibility of
changes being made by the senate and
house managers.
Senators voting against retaining
the dry" legislation in the bill were
Brandegee of Connecticut, Gerry of
Rhode Island, Phelan of California,
Pomerene of Ohio, Ransdell of Louis
lana and Underwood of Alabama,
while it was announced that many
members absent and paired favored
the amendment.
Manufacture of beer in the United
States will be prohibited after Decem-
Der l next as a war measure.
This announcement was made Fri
day by the food administration,
which said the decision had been
reached at conferences between Presi-
dent Wilson and representatives of the
fuel, food and railroad administra-
lions. and the war Industries board.

The statement Ia the official Ger

the retirement had come to an end and
that the Germans expected 10 stop the

position and subsequent operations
quickly show how Marshal Foch pro-
poses to ussail the problem that
baffied the French and British gen
eral staffs-the breaking Of this nd
vanced line OF defense set up by the
enemy on Belgian and French soil.
Allies Feeling Their Way.
II was evident from the latest report
that the allied forces were still feeling
their way forward carefully through
the rear guard screens OF machine
Tunners which stjll cover many por-
tons OF the eneinys present fighting

There is feeling among some Of

striking back hard at the advancing
French and British forces. or even by
an attack at some other point designed
TO relieve pressure rather than to-

available a sufficient reserve force by
the great withdrawal TO permit such

his testimony was chiefly OF techni-

by the allies
The subcommittee had expected 70
