 WALLS

Memphis, Tenn, Aug 29--Two firemen were injured and damage es- timated at $9O000 was caused here tonight as a result of a fire which gut ted the upper floors of the Hall buld- ing, four story structure at the cor ner of Main and Gayosa streets in the heart of the retail district

the Germans from the menace they would be under if the allies occupy the piateaus extending further toward the east.
 Recovering before the day ended from the shock of the early mornlng attack, von Schwerin brought into play his artillery and other resources in desperate effort to check tho movement. Equally determined es- forts weer made by those organiza tions in front of the French divisions on the right and left of the Americans Reports from points on the line where the attack is progressing indi- cate that the Americans are confront ed by what is believed by many to DC one of the most determined stands yet taken by the Germans who realize that break at any point would likely be followed by disaster
 The opinion seems to be that every yard of territory gained will be bitter ly contested and that it is not improb- able that villages and other objectiyes will be subjected to the fate of cap ture and re-capture many times before their possession is undisputed.
 The rapidity with which the gains were made by the Americans and French early in the day was not du- plicated in the afternoon, when rne battle settled into a heavy artillery duel in which the guns of both sides fired often at direct targets and at un- usually close range.
 The country which has been the bat t- tlefield almost four years again is the scene of conflict which has started out with the promise of being most stubbornly fought Tonight the sky is dotted with flashes of exploding shells while the rear of the barrage and counter barrage must be audible all most to Paris.
 In the back areas shells are falling behind the lines but not so frequently as at many times previously The Germans apparently are using all theil guns and energy in attempting tC tear down the determined lines O their advancing enemy.
 Two captured officers when ques. toned today by intelligence officer: attempted to give the impression tha little resistance would be made, as suring the officers that there were few machine guns left emplaced. While telling the story, it was being refuted within their own hearing.
 How many hundreds or thousands of these little guns the Germans have immediately in front of the Americans is not known, but the number is quite up to the German developed tactics. Every hillside and wood crackles with their fire when they are approached.
 Comparatively little gas has been and the aviators of both sides became more active The Ger mans today concentrated most of their efforts on the destruction of tanks.

With the British Army in France, Aug. 29-The British forces gained considerable ground today. There has been hard fighting in the Scarpe re- zion where the German resistance is being sustained regardless of cost in an effort to save their Drocourt-Quent .Iine Tine line is stil intact, but this is solely because the British have not actually carried out any assaults against it.
 In the operations today there was desperate fighting, this for the purpose of strengthening out the British llne and pushing closer to the enemy posi- tions Individual Germans in this lo- cality as at other places are showing increasing dislike for the war that is going aainst them. But in bodies and under the watchful eyes of their of ficers, who, incidentally have been forced to shoot some of the men for refusing to obey orders, the enemy is offering the stifiest resistance. South of the somme the Germans are re- treating before the Australians.
 The French to the south having reached the bank of the SOmme back waters, the Australians are engaged in clearing the enemy from the small bit of grount remaining to him west and south of the river within the angle created by its course.
 Bapaume has been virtually sur rounded for several days, British pa trols having been in it's western out skirts and it has just officially been reported to have fallen.
 South of Bapaume the battle contin- ues. This afternoon the British were east of Mauripas and Combles while Ginchy and Guillemont have been stormed and captured The British are pushing on.

MARSHAL FOCH PUSHING
 HIS MEN FORWARD
Rctreating Germans Show No lndl- actions of Turning and Offering Actions to Retard the Allied Armies As Much As Possible.
lRy the Assoclated Press. ]

The Germans continue in retreat everywhere between Arras and the Soissons sector under the violent at tacks by the allied troops. As ye there seems to be no slackening in tho offensive that is steadily reelaimins numerous French towns and village! and territory that long has been in tnr hands of the enemy
 Indeed, instead of halting his mer for a breathing spell, Marshal Focf seems to be pushing them forward with greater impetus, and at present the retiring enemy shows no indica- tions of turning and offering more of battle than he recently has been giving with his machine gunners and infantry units that are acting as rear guards to aid in covering the east ward retrograde movement Already outflanking the old Hindenburg line, on the north, Field Marshal IIaig s forces gradually are cutting their way eastward both north and south of the Somme and putting down strong coun- ter offensive actions, although on sey- eral sectors they have had to cede ground temporarily.
 Official reports assert that the British have captured the important town of Bapaume, where for dayt there has been bitter fighting, the Germans exertng their utmost strength to keep Haig's men from uoinfno control oe tho ,.o iI,ua,e and tho high road leading to Cambrai. TO the south the British also are reported to have penetrated to the outskirts Of Maurepas another point of strategic value. Along both sides of the Som me running eastward ground has been the river bends sharply southward the stream has been crossed at several points and this important railroad juncture outflanked.
 Since the caying- in of the German line by the fall of Chaulnes and Rove the French literally have overrun ths southern portion of Picardy, having reached the western bank of the Ca nal du Nord along almost its entire length and captured the town of Noy- on which, surrounded by hills, nas stood defiantly for days under rain of shells. East and southeast of the Aisne the French have overcome the heavy resistance of the enemy and crossed the Ailette river.
 Northwest of Soissons, where the A ma ri, fp xtftfh b, French in the general movement of clearing Picardy of the enemy there has been severe fighting but with the allied troops having the advantage. The American sector is between Cha yigny and Juyegny and the enemy
 facing them includes the Prussian seventh infantry.
 Along the Vesle river at Bazoches and Fismette the situation is rather less tense than 1t was Tuesday and "Wednesday when heavy fighting oc- cured between the Americans anl the Germans. Thursday the Americans heavily shelled the German positions but the Germans failed to accept their challenge 10 duel and replied only feebly. The claim of the German war office that 250 Americans were made prisoner during the recent fighting is denied by the Americans who assert that only few of their men are mis- sing.

WINES AND BEER ARE
 THE FIRST TO 60
They Cannot Be Manufactured After May 1919--The Export of Whisky Wines and Beer May Continue Af- ter the People Of This Country Are Denied Their Use.

Washington, Aug %. - National prohibition moved a considerable step forward today in congress. Without a record being taken or requested, the senate late today adopted the leaders compromise on 'fbone dry" prohibition, effective July l, continu- ing during the war and until tSe American troops are brought home 1, and demobilized.
 An amendment by Senator Shep-
 pard, of Texas, to the $11 000. GOO emergency agricultural appropriation bill is expected to remain in the
 measure under the harmony agree
 ment of wet" and dry" factions al- though technically subjected to another vote.
 Passage of the bill itself is planned tomorrow and the measure viii De returned to the house where it is ex- pected by prohibition advocates to accept the senate proposition.
 Adoption of the compromise Iegis- lation came after today's debate spirited between champions and op- ponents of prohibition, but with many marks of lack of interest, including vacant seats both on the floor and in the galleries because the compromise was regarded as insuring approval by the senate.
 Efforts to materially change the Sheppard substitute were futile. Amendment to advance and defer the effective date and to extend the time for it's operation against beer and wine were overwhelmingly defeated without record roll calls.
 That there was any agreement among the leaders against having record votes was denied by Sheppard and other advocates and also oppon- ents of prohititory legislation The general understanding 1t was declar- ed, extended only to support of the compromise amendment and to avoid obstructive debate or parliamentary tactics.
 Senator Phelan. of California, made g vigorous fight for a longer lease of life for the wine and beer industries. He offered amendments making the effective date June 90. 1920, instead of year previous, as the amendment provides and also applying the latter date to wines alone. Both were re- jected overwhelmingly by viva voice and sufficient senators did not sup port Senator Plank's request for roll call Another Plank amendment drowned in roars of noes" would have extending the effective date for wines six months longer, or until December 31. 1919.
 With wet and "dry" members evidently observing their agreement to unite on the Sheppard draft. the senate also voted down without a roll call an amendment by Senator Tram mell, of Florida. to move the effective date ahead to January 1. 1919, as pro- vided in the bill before the compro-. mise agreement was reached.
 The amendment as passed is a sub- stitute both for the original amend- ment of Representative Randall. of California, prohibiting use of money in the agricultural appropriation bill until the president should exercise his present authority to stop manufac--
