A RIGID DRY LAW
Senate Committee Agrees on
Prohibition Measure.
Would Stop Sale of Any Liquor
After January 1.

Washington, July s.-Legislation to
prohibit the sale of distilled liquors,
wine and beer after January 1, 1919,
and to prohibit the manufacture of
wine and beer after November 1 next,
was agreed upon today by the senate
agricultural committee.
The legislation is proposed as sub
stitute for the pending Norris amend
ment to the emergency agricultural
appropriation bill, which would stop
the sale of distilled liquor and wine
on June 80, 1919 and prohibit the
manufacture of beer three months
after the bill becomes law.
Provisions for the expectation of
liquors already produced was copsid-
cred by the committee and probabl
will be reported in some form before
the senate acts on the amendment.
The changes had been discussed for
a number of days, so that when the
committee met today action was prac-
tically by unanimous consent without
a record vote.
BY fixing a definite date after which
the sale would be prohibited of all
Intoxicating liquors, members of the
committee believe that any charges OF
discrimination would be avoided. They
say wine growers would be enabled tc
dispose of this years crop while brew
ers could make use of their entire

to obtain military information from
the Americans, and that they rarely
will indicate the positions they occu-

port declares the Americans make a
good impression.
