FARMS FALL TO YANKS
Positions Near Grandpre
Taken in Fierce ALL
Day Fighting.
FRENCH ADVANCE 8 MILES
Ground Is Gained North of
Laon; Client Being
Evacuated.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-Over
the entire front held by the
British further gains have
been made by Field Marshal
Haig's men from the region
south of LIE Cateau to the
Scheldt river, according to the
British official communication
issued tonight. At some
places enemy positions to a
depth of more than three
miles were penetrated, numer-
Gus villages were taken and
several thousand prisoners
and many guns were cap
tured.
WITH THE AMERICAN
ARMY NORTHWEST OF
VERDUN, Oct. $50 p. n.y.
The American troops cap
tured the Belle Joyeuse and
Talma farms and the ridge
between them after an all
day fight today. These posi-
tions are situated northwest
of Grandpre.
Early Wednesday the Americans
launched an attack with the deter
mination of cleaning up Grandpre
and that region. This was accom-
plished, but the Germans, counter
attacking, drove back the Americans
at places.
The Americans later regained their
ground and advanced despite des'
perats machine gun defense.
The German losses in dead and
| wounded were heavy.

AS TO WAR PROHIBITION

The question Of bone dry ma
ton during the war is now before the
Senate Committee on Agriculture. and
II is besitating what 20 do about tho
matter, pending the uncertainty Of
the Presidents attitude. The Com
mittee has gone so far. however. as
to to eliminate the Randall amend
ment. or, more properly speaking.
rider" to the agricultural approprIa
ton bill. which would put an end TO
the use Of beer and light wines. while
preventing The sale OF Thiskey until
the 100000 900 gallons now held in
stock are exhausted. That certainly
would be a left.handed sort Of prohi-
b;,ion But this amendment has the
further objection that it prevents the
use Of S6,0Oo,Oo0 appropriated fo- the
Food Administration unless the PreSl.
dent issues proclamation against the
use of foodstutfs in the manufacture
of malt and vinous liquors. This rider
proyokes the objection that all riders
have to appropriation bills. If 1t is al
all a meritorious measure it ought TO
have strength enough to stand out
as separate bill. without threaten
ing TO hold up just appropriation.
The Senate Committee has ordered
hearings on the amendment OF Sena'
