ASKED TOL|FT BAN
ON BEER, REPORT

President Wilson, In conference
with Herbert Hoover. Federal Food
Administrator, in France, Is reported
to have been asked to lift the ban on
brewing in the United States. on the
ground that conditions which led to
the proclamation effective December
1 have largely disappeared.
This information, reaching wash
ington today. created a sensation
among prohibition advocates in both
houses OF Congress. Senator Shep-
pard OF Texas and Senator Jones OF
Washington both asserted that the
lifting of the prohibition of brewing
In the United States will be most
vigorously opposed.
Both Senators took issue with Mr..
Hoover, declaring that the necessity
for saving food has In nowise dimin-
ished. On the other hand, even more
food must now be exported than was
sent abroad during the period Of the
war, they said.
with the President asserting we
must aid the central powers In the
solution of their food problems. along
with the allies, I cannot see how 1t
can be argued that the time has come
for lifting the restrictions on brew
ing" Senator Sheppard said.
II was not made clear today just
how President Wilson can be pre-
vented from rescinding his former
proclamation. II he desires to do so.
1t was assumed that the opposition
will be limited to speeches by prohi-
bitionistS In both houses.

Those wonderful tidings were re-

the receipt of the news. There was
no cheering, but grim determination
was written on the faces OF our lads.

Some shouted and cheered; others

siasm was short lived.
The Advance Continued.
Remember, men, II o'clock said
the officers, and ordered the advance
to continue.
"All through the pause the German
firing had continued. 1t was raging
at 1880; it was just as strong al
implacably ahead. All along the line
the fighting spirit ran high. The
long range OF hills before them was
