PARTIAL VICTORY
 FOR AMENDMENTS
 IS WON BY DENT
(continued from Page One)

to make a statement as to the position administration, having accepted two of his proposed amendments. and hav- ing accepted in half his third, has 'come across"
 Tn the other light, the administration determined tc draft boys. Without such draft being absolutely necessary, is S far removed from the chairman as the one pole from the other In consequence, Mir. Dent has not as yet determined whether of the administration bill or lead for lorn hope against it's enactment.
 For, beyond all peradventure. its is known that the administration, irrespec. tive of the extent of it's requests or de mands. will carry it's point. At .he present writing, it is indicated that the administration will ask for power to en- list into service all men between the ages of IS aad 45, and that such request viii be granted tS overwhelming vote.
 There is disposition on the part of or ganzed ,abcr in Alabama and all othe ' states of the union to oppose the enact- ment Of the Senator Thomas amendment. That amendment would empower the President to enlist into military service all eligibles previously exempted who through industrial reasons have not. without intermisson, followed their nv ocation. Organized labor is making bit ter demand that the Thomas resolution be stricken on the ground that it's en- actment would authorize the government to call into military service all men who might be engaged in a strike" as a re suit of industrial disputes
 Ipasmuch as the administration has not asked for such power, and the amend ment of Senator Thomas was without suggestion of President Wilson, in all probability i. will be eliminated. Politics plays a strong card in, the game under way. and labor, unquestionably, is in the saddle.
 The Alabama protest regarding the Thomas amendment is forwarded to Washington in the form of telegram from l.. Bowen, head of the Alabama Federation of Labor.

east and southeast possibly from the region of Rheims to Ypres.
 The Lys salient is fast fading away under the attacks of the British and the voluntary retirement of the Germans to new defense positions eastward and seemingly the big westerly bulge into the allied line between Ypres and La Bassee soon must disappear.
 Under the new gains of the British around Rove and particularly those made by the French from Lassigny to the Disc valley and northwest of Soissons, the Germans now are in bad predicament. Here their positions are dominated by the allied guns from the west, south west and south for many miles and ap- parently a retreat westward across the plains of Picardy and over the Somme and even from the western Aisne will be necesSitated

HUN REPORT ERRONEOUS

The latest German official communica- ton asserts that French attacks between the Disc and Aisne, delivered over wide front, failed, but the French war office statement is specific in announce ing the penetration of the environs of LaSsigny, cutting passageWay through the Thiescourt wood and the capture of Pimprez. That there has been hard fighting, however, is indicated by the British official statement, which says that northwest of Chaulnes the Germans succeeded in penetrating the British lines at several points but later were driven out.
 On the other battle fronts there is lit- tie activity, except in the nature of artil- lery duels and patrol encounters.
 Additional American troops arrived last week in Vladvostok to aid the other international troops in their operations against the bolshevik in Siberia.

 Le Vaux is a wizard of the piano and accordeon, and his numbers were very entertaining. and added to which his per sonality made him easy favorite on the bill. Every audience, no matref where they assemble here or there, like an accordecnist if he is an artist Le Vaux is, so he pleased immensely.
 Buddy Walker jumped into his role. 'The Broadway Boy with vim tha. put his act across in great style. He is clever monologst. nifty singer and in his impersonations of stage cele' breties he was full of genuineness and reality. E Hill and Bertha in an acrobatic novel ty reached those amusement seekers wno admire health, vigor muscle and physi- cal development of the body.

In the Lys sector, west of Armentieres, the enemy has retreated over a front of nearly six miles, leaving the town of Merville in British hands, Between the Matz and Disc rivers the French have skirts of the dominating position of Las singny and further south in this hill and wooded region have debouched from the Thiescourt wood and also captured the town of Pimprez, in the Disc valley on the Noyon- -Gompeigne road,
 Around the curve in the battle line northwest of Soissons the French from near Carlepont to Fontenoy on the Aisne, a distance of approximately nine miles, have driven back the enemy on an av- craze depth of more than mile and captured several villages and 2200 pris- oners.
 Unofficial reports record the capture by the British of the railroad station on the western outskirts of the important town of Rove, one of the pivotal points on the battle front between the Somme and the Disc, but there is no official con- firmation of this.
 GAINS IMPORTANT
 Viewed on the war maps the gains in the new operations are most important ones for the allies, for aside from wide areas over which the enemy has been compelled to acknowledge defeat, the weakening in the German defense IS growing daily more noticeable and ap- parently within short time they prob- ably will be forced to commence a retro grade movement on a scale that will mean the entire plotting out of old lines and the taking up of new ones to the

At the Lyric

 MT and Mrs. Melburne draw the headline honors. Home Again is the vehicle that introduces this clever cou- pie. and the act is one riot or mirth and laughter. The fun begins as soon as Mel Burne appears as the intoX- icated husband, arriving home late. Things happen thick and fast and the lines scintilate with comedy. Both en- tertainers are fine interpreters of their part and the act was the big hit of the bill
 The bill opens with classy act by Kenny and LaFrance, whirlwind danc- CTS. There have been few better danc- CTS on the Lyric stage than this clever team. and their work draws much de- served applause
 Mazier and Thompson, blackface en- tertainers, are on the second spot. and they keep the laughter going. Their jokes are clever and original and both are capable entertainers.
 Chester Spencer, assisted by Lola Williams. shares headline honors With the Mel-Burnes. Putting It Over." is the vehicle for this clever comedian and he proves big hit. It's not what he says it, but tho way and mannerisms that accompany what he says, that get the laughs. Miss Williams Is d pretty young lady who sings well and is altogether a capable support for her clever partner. Nip and Tuck. wonderful gymnasts, are evtraordi- nary entertainers.
