DRY MEASURE IS
SENT TO SENATE
FOR ITS ACTION
Practically Absolute Prohibition Dur.
Ing War is Provided in Measure
Reported = Would stop all
Sales After January I.

Washington, July - Legislation
providing for practically absolute
prohibition during the war was re-
ported to the senate today after the
agricultural committee had agreed to
drastic changes in the Norris amend
ment to the $11,OOO,OOO emergency
agricultural appropriation bill by
which the sale of distilled spirits,
beer and wine, except for export.
would be prohibited after next jan
uary l, and the manufacture of beer
and wine stopped after November 1.
Consideration of the uncontested
committee amendments to the emer-
gency measure which began last Sat
urday night was resumed today and
dry leaders hoped to reach the pro-
hibition amendment, but prolonged
consideration of the telegraph-tele-
phone resolution prevented Prohobi-
tion leaders hope this section will be
taken uD tomorrow and are confident
OF victory on the final roll call. Strong
opposition is expected in view of the
opposition by officials to taking beer
away from shipyard workmen.
AS originally proposed the Norris
amendment would have prohibited the
| sale of distilled liquors and the man
ufacture of wine except for export af-
ter next June 30, and the manufacture
of beer three months after the agri-
cultural bill became law. The sale
of wine, however. would not have been
stopped.
Under the amendment as reported
today the removal of distilled spirits
held in bond would be prohibited af-
ter January 1, except under regula-
tions prescribed by the commissioner
of internal revenue with the approval
of the secretary of the treasury. The
| bill would also prescribe regulations
for the sale of wine for sacramental
medical or other non-beverage pur-
noses.

LOCAL BOARD
To CLASSIFY
MEN AT ONCE
Men Registering Last Month VIII BE
Classified This Week-Examina
tiOn to BE Made Before Close
of the Month.

The Mason County Exemption
Board will begin the classification of
the men registering on June 5th last
sometime this week so as to be ready
for the expected call from the state
adjutant to begin the physical exami-
nation of all men just registered.
The local board expects that they
will be able to classify all of the men
registering in one day and it will
take them but a couple or three days
to give all of the men their physical
examination.
1t is thought that the great major
ity of the men to be classified will be
put in Class 1 for only a small part
of the men have any dependents at
all and only a very few of them are
married The great majority of the
men are stalwart youths who will
pass the physical examination and
the members of the local board except
very few to be rejected as physically
unfit.
Indications are that men register
ing under this latest law will be call
ed into service during the month of
August and therefore all classification
and examination but be out of the way
before the close of the present month.
The district medical board with
headquarters here is also expecting
early orders from the state adjutant
to get ready for the examination of
all appeal cases sent to them by the
| local boards in the counties compris-
ing this district. They are not antici-
pating any great amount of work and
expect to finish their task in very
short time.

SECRETARY DODDS DESERVES
CREDIT

Secretary Carl Dodds, of the Mays
vile Chamber of Commerce, deserves
no little credit for the wonderful sue
cess of the Maysville Chautauqua. Mr..
Dodds went into the thing with the
same enthusiasm he carries into any
undertaking and spent the most of
last week on the Chautauqua.
Through the persistent efforts of Sec
retary Dodds, Chairman A. L. Merz
and the members of his committee,
the project which at first looked like
a financial failure was brought
through to a success and it is under
stood that there was a neat little sum
left in the treasury after all expenses
had been paid.

FRENCH STRIKE
HARD BLOW AT
ENEMY FORCES
Advance Made Over Two Mile Front
and Several Hundred Germans
Prisoners Are Taken in Ac.
tiOn Near Scissors.

Paris, July S - The French have
once more attacked the enemy south
west of Scissors. Launching their
blow from the eastern side of the
Retz forest, north of Longport, the
French have advanced over a front of
approximately two miles, taking
Chavigny farm and the slopes to the
north and south of il. Several hun
dred prisoners were captured by the
French In their sudden attack
The text of tonight's official state
ment reads:
South of the Aisne our troops this
morning attacked enemy positions in
the outskirts of Retz forest in the
region northwest of Longport. On
front of about three kilometers, we
advanced 1900 metres, occupying
Chavigny farm and the ridges north
and south of that farm. The un-
wounded prisoners counted up to the
present number 347, including four
officers.
"Aviation-On July and Z fourteen
enemy airplanes were brought down
or put out of action and two captive
balloons were set afire. Our bombing
machines dropped 2S tons of projec-
tiles in the course of their expeditions
at night in the neighborhood of Fis-
mes, Hirson, Ferre En- Tardenois and
Amagne Lucqy.
Eastern Theatre. July - There
was artillery activity on the Doiran
Struma front Patrol encounters took
place on the front of the Serbian army
and in the Monastir sector, In AL
bania our troops have maintained the
positions occupied yesterday on Boil
mia crest, having repulsed a violent
| counter attack during the night"
This assault may be linked up
closely with the recent offensive op-
erations at St Pierre Aigle and gives
the French new front line from
Longport north as far as the southern
limits of Ambleny, a distance of al
most eight miles. Austrian troops
holding positions astride the Sommc
river east of Amiens and north of
llamel have swept the Germans back
over a front of more than mile and
Strengthened out an awkward angle
held by the Germans since the Aus
tralians and Americans carried their
lines forward in their spirited attack
July 4.
Berlin mentions local attacks in the
| Cligon sector, which is held by Amer
leans, and between the Marne and
Rheims.
Italian forces operating on the eX-
treme left wing of the Allied line in
Albania. have struck hard at Aus
trian positions along the Voyusa
| (Vogusta) river which flows into the
Adriatic about twenty miles north OF
the town of Avlona, one of the most
important places in southern Albania.
Vienna admits that the Austrian ad-
yanced posts have been withdrawn
ITO their main positions. This report
from Austrian headquarters probably
refers to the action mentioned in the
French official statement on Sunday
night. 1t was said by the War Of
flee at Paris that the French and It.
allan forces had seized heights in
western Albania and had held them
against counter attacks.
