WILSON ORDERS
MAKING Of BEER
STOPPED ON DEG. |
action Taken by President to
Conserve Grain.
SENATE PASSES DRY BILL
Final Effort Made to Postpone Effec-
tive Date of Prohibition Legisla-
ton to December 80, 1919, Is
Defeated.
SENATE PASSES DRY BILL

Washington, Sept. Manufacture
prohibited after December 1 next as a
war measure.
The food administration announced
on Friday that the manufacture OF
beer and other malt liquors will be
prohibited after December 1. as a war
measure.
This announcement said the deci-
sion had been reached at conferences
between President Wilson and repre-
sentatives of the fuel, food and rail-
road administrations and the war in
dustries board. Immediate suspension
of the purchase Of grains for mating
purposes was ordered.
Senate Passes Dry Bill.
The $12,O00,000 emergency agricul-
tural appropriation bill with it's rider
for national prohibition from next July
1 until the American armies are de-
modified after the end of the war was
passed by the senate without a roll
call.
Before final passage of the measure
the senate voted, As to 6, to retain the
prohibition rider. A final effort to
postpone the effective date of the dry
legislation to December 80, 1919, was
defeated.
Bill Goes Back to House.
The bill now goes to the house, and.
OF n.
serted by the senate, it undoubtedly
will be sent to conference. Prohibition
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 mana
gers.
Senators voting against retaining the
dry legislation in the bill were Brande-
gee of Connecticut, Gerry of Rhode
Island, Phelan of California, Pome-
rene of Ohio, Ransdell of Louisiana
and Underwood of Alabama. After
passage of the bill the senate con-
ferees-all regarded friendly to the
legislation-were appointed: Gore of
Stllllu VI boOulI Col oAAlct,
Smith OF Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa and
France of Maryland. How long the
bill would be in conference was re-
garded doubtful.
Seeks to Conserve Grain.
President Wilson's death decree for
beer was based upon the need of con-
serving grain for stock feed, the sup
ply of which has been diminished by
drought, of conserving fuel, of lessen
ing the transportation burden of the
railways land Of diverting the labor of
nonessential industry to uses inciden-
tai to the conduct Of the war.
AS result of the presidents action,
the supply of malt liquors is likely to
be exhausted before the country goes
bone dry, July 1, under the terms of
the "war prohibition" bill.
The manufacturers of soft drinks
and other beverages and the bottlers
of mineral waters are also warned
that they also will suffer curtailment
of fuel and containers. Breweries and
other plants thus put out of business
will be utilized by the government so
far as possible for war purposes.

CROP PROSPECT IMPROVED MUCH
 IN SEPTEMBER
Report Shows Great Betterment Effected Throughout Country Dur ing Last Month

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.-"Crop prospects generally and materially improved during September" a state ment of the department of agricul- ture said in commenting on crop con ditions as shown October l.
 Moisture was sufficient and farm work was favored. Though killing frosts were earlier than usual over large areas of the northern states, relatively small damage was done.
 Corn in the main belt matured earlier than usual of a result of sum- mer heat and droughty periods, most of it safely, except in the extreme area. An increase of 40,- O0O,OO bushels is shown in the ex- pected out turn, now promising 2.71S,000.O00 bushels. That is AL 000,00O bushels below the crop of last year, which was, however, of eX- tremely poor quality. It is 45,O00,O00 bushels. or 1.5 per cent less than the five-year average crop.
 Spring wheat is turning out bet ter than expected in the Pacific northwest. showing a gain of about 20,000, ,000 bushels over last month s promises and giving a present esti- mate of SIS 92O,000 bushels of /pring and winter wheat combined This IS 267, 100000 above last year, and 110,- 000,000 above the five-year average, being exceeded only by the bumper crop of 1,O25,SOO,OOO bushels in 1915.
 "Oats. too. are turning out well above earlier hopes. A crop Of 1885, 100000 bushels is estimated-the third. Of record, and but 3.4 per cent below the bumper crop of last year. The quality is high, a. Barley po- tatoes, both white and sweet, rice. to- baccO, cotton. apples and sugar beets show gains over last months outlook, and buckwheat, flax and kafirs only show slight losses"

BRITISH ATTACK WINS WAY WITH
 EASE INTO LINE
Hun Troops Unable to With stand Onslaught of Tom mics, Tanks and Poilus After Vast Barrage

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY ON THE ST. QUENTIN FRONT, Oct 8 (By the Associated Press) 10 a. m.- The British launched a terrific attack on a front of about twenty miles to- day from Cambrai southward. Amer ican forces co-operated and the French at the south also attacked in conform ity with the general plan.
 This was the answer of the fight ing British armies to the German bid for peace. Early in the day smash ing blows had carried the British and Americans deep into the positions of the staggering enemy.
 The battle is one of the most furi- GUS, as well as one of the most i'm postant of the war. The British can non, wheel to wheel, sent tons of explosives crashing on top of the en- emy in a whirlwind barrage during the better part of the night and early morning.
 The very air trembled and the earth rocked with the continuous roar of explosions. The exploding shells throbbed vividly against clouds from which rain poured, the flashes being visible for many miles.
 The British armies attacked in a converging operation in a northeaster- ly direction. The fourth army. with which the Americans were co-Operat ing. attacked at a gap in the last Hin denburg system and for miles on both sides. while the third army was in ac- tion up to Cambrai. attacking along sr- of ha Dff-- Masnieres line both on the front and in a turning movement. So it would appear that the general idea is to smash down the Hindenburg system completely on a broad front, enabling operations to be carried out to the east of it.
 The first phase Of the attack began about o'clock in the morning when the infantry with the assistance of an intense barrage, stormed the high ground just south of Cambrai. where the CambrafPeronne railway runs along. Special attention was given to other high ground in the southern out skirts of Cambrai as the town is known to be strongly occupied by the enemy.
 Already British forces north of the town have gone we'll to the eastward, SO that success at the south should un' doubtedly result in squeezing it into British hands.
 As a matter of fact. some of these towns have probably already been cap tured, but information is always meag- CT SO soon after an attack of such great proportions is launched.
 While this battle ragged. the British in the northern areas carried out dem- onstrations which gave the Germans something to worry about. l
 Bitter fighting was in progress just south of Cambrai. when the British, | French and Americans for twenty | miles to the south went over the top | A cold rain had started during thel
