FOR DRY NATION
]. ON JANUARY |
Agreement Reached BY the
Senate Committee
WHAT AMEN MENT PROVIDES
VETS Preparing For Hard Fight
Angry At Breakup Of Recess,
Plan And Threaten Many
Obstacles.

ngton-Confident that they
now hold the whip handle in Congress
since the recess plans have been
broken up, the wartime prohibition
forces in the Senate took steps to
place the nation on an absolutely dry
basis by January l next, six months
prior to the date fixed by the Norris
proposal.
When the Senate met to take up
the Food Conservation bill with the
wartime prohibition rider, Senator
Gore, for the Committee on Agricul-
ture, reported a substitute for the Nor
ris amendment, which is far more dras-
tic than the original committee pro-
posal. The Senate then began debate
on the Food Conservation bill.
What Amendment Provides.
The substitute wartime prohibition
amendment is as follows:
THAT after December 81, 1918, until
the conclusion of the present war, for
the purpose of conserving the man
power of the nation, and to increase
efficiency in the production of arms,
war munitions, ships, food and clothing
time, for the army and navy, it shall be
unlawful to sell for beverage purposes
any distilled spirits, and during said
time, no distilled spirits held in bono
shall be removed therefrom for bev-
erage purposes except for export.
after November l, 1918, until the
conclusion of the present war, no
grain, cereal, fruit or other food prod
uct shall be used in the manufacture
or production of beer wine or other
intoxicating malt or vinous liquor for
beverage purposes.
after December 81, 1918, until the
conclusion of the present war, no beer,
wine or other Intoxicating malt or
vinous liquor shall be sold for bev-
erage purposes except for export.
1.-THE Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue is hereby authorized and directed
to prescribe rules and regulations sub
ject to the approval of the Secretary
OF the treasury IN regard to the re-
moval of distilled spirits held in bond
after December 81, 1918, for other
than beverage purposes, also in re-
gard to the sale and distribution OF
wine for sacramental. medicinal or
other nonbeverage uses.
After the approval of this act. no
distilled malt. vinous o. other intoxi-
eating liquors shall be imported into
the United States.
ANY person who violates any OF the
foregoing provisions shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon con-
viction thereof, shall be punished by
fine not exceeding $1,000 Or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding che year
or both"

WILSON VETOES
s2.4O WHEAT BILL
Would Add So a Barrel to the
Price of Flour.
FIGHT is NOT YET ENDED
Price Provisions Are lnsusceptibIe or
Being Administered In A Way
Advantageous Either To
Producer Or Consumer.

Washington.-ln vetoing the $685.
100000 annual agricultural appropria-
ton bill because of it's amendment
fixing the Government guaranteed
minimum wheat price at $40 a
bushel, the President informed Con-
gress that he did not believe the
farmers Of America depend upon a.
stimulation of price to do their ut
most to serve the nation and the
world at this time OF crisis"
The President said the patriotic
spirit Of the farmers has been
worthy of all praise and has shown
them playing d most admirable and
gratifying part in the full mobiliza-
ton of the resources of the country
He added that the bumper crops they
have raised this year have relieved
the anxiety of the nations arrayed
against Germany with regard to their
food supplies"
The House is expected to pass the
bill with the price-fxing amendment
eliminated, leaving the guaranteed
price at $2.20 bushel. Some senators
from wheat-growing States were dis
posed to urge the Senate to pass the
bill over the Presidents veto. while
others suggested that the wheat price.
amendment might be added to the
$i1,000,000 Emergency Agricultural
Bill to which is attached the prohi
bition amendment.
The Presidents veto of the agricul-
tural bill was his third in two weeks.
The first disapproval was of the POST
office Appropriation Bill because of a
rider for Government purchase of mail
tubes in eight cities, and the second
was the resolution authorizing the
extension of time in which the Gov
eminent may relinquish short line
railroads.

FLY THROUGH HUN
LINES FIFTY MILES
American Pursuit Planes Pene-
trate Occupied Territory.
I'll RS SON BAGS HUN PLANE
American Flying Squadron That Pene-
trates German Territory Chases
Several Enemy Machines
Encountered.

American Forces on the Marne.-
American pursuit planes flying in
squadron formation penetrated Ger
man-occupied territory north of
Chateau-Thierry for a distance Of so
miles and chased several German ma
chimes which they encountered. The
Americans secured considerable infoT;
nation and observed the preparations
being made by the enemy.
They flew over many newly con-
structed German flying fields, includ-
ing one believed to be occupied by
the famous Richtofen flying circus.
The planes were at height Of 5000
yards in the course of greater part
OF the flight. All the Americans safely
returned.
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, the young
est son of ex-President Roosevelt,
brought down his first German air.
plane in a fight north of Chateau
Thierry. D.
Lieutenant Roosevelt, with three
other pilots, was flying at height of
5000 yards eight miles inside of the
German lines when the machines be-.
came separated Soon after Roose-
welt saw three planes which he
thought were his companions and
started to join them. He was close
and approaching the machines from
the rear when he saw. his mistake,
for the planes were Germans. Roose-
welt Immediately opened fire and after
50shots tracers penetrated the fuselage
of the nearest German machine and it
went into spinning nose dive, falling
through the clouds 1000 yards below.
The Lieutenant is certain it must
have crashed, for no pilot voluntarily
goes into a 2,000-yard spinning nose
dive. The two remaining German air.
planes attacked Roosevelt, but he
managed to make good his escape and
return to the field, himself and his
machine unscratched.

tors of the Western front held by
American troops, made public by
the War Department, follows:
Section A. The day again passed
quietly at points occupied by our
troops.
Section B.-For our troops in the
Chateau Thierry region the day of
July 7 TO was uneventful. The
enemy continued to direct much rifle
and machine gun fire On our new line
in tie vicinity of Vaux and north Of
Naux and also on Bouresches. The
activity Of the German artillery was
not abnormal for so active sector
and consisted mainly of harassing fire
on Our front lines. Gas was, as
usual, employed in the skelling Of
the Marette, the Belleau and other
woods. The number Of German air
planes in operation again decreased.
IN the German rear areas the move
ment observed were mainly those OF
men in groups of small or moderate
size Our own troops were active in
patrolling and in artillery fire.
In the Marne sector, from July 7 to
s. the day passed almost without in
ciGeDt. The enemy's artillery fire
was lighter than on the preceding day
and only a few planes were seen. His
trench mortars We're active for time
during the evening. There was little
activity on our side. Our batteries
exploded one of the enemy's ammuni-
ton dump3.
IN the Woevre there were no not
able events between July and July
6, except the attempts of parties of
the enemy to penetrate cur lines,
especially in the region of Xivray.
On the night of July German
petrol was driven back in the region
by one of cur patrols after an ex-
change of fire.
On the night OF july one of our
outposts in this region was fired on
by German patrol but sustained no
casualties. On the night OF July
strong German patrol attacked a weak
outpost at Xivray with the intention
Of taking prisoners. Our outpost ex-
changed grenade fire with the assault
tiers. The Germans, having failed in
their purpose, withdrew from the out
post, which was then reoccupied. On
the same night there was an exchange
OF grenade fire between another OF
our outpoSts and German patrol and
at another point a patrol encounter.
During all three days the enemy's
which is normal for quiet sector,
distributing his shells over our front
and rear areas and our lines of COM
mu1ication. Only a small amount of
gas was used His airplanes and bal
looms did little work between July 8
and 4, but were moderately active be-
tween July and G. Our forces were
mainly in artillery work. The Ger
man lines were heavily shelled with
gas on the morning of July 5.
IN the Lorraine sector the outStand-
ing incidents of July 6 and 7 were
the activities of th9b enelny patroIling
parties and of our own. During the
night three German patrols ap-
preached our lines, two coming under
our fire. One of them used light ma
chine guns but was thrown back by
our rifle and grenade fire after a fight
lasting 20 minutes.
