COUNTRY ONE
STEP NEARER
California Solon Fights to Have
Beer and Wine Remain for a
Longer Time---Is Defeated
(From Fridays daily.)

National prohibition moved a con-
siderable step forward yesterday in
congress at Washington.
Without a record vote the senate
adopted the leaders compromise on
"bone dry" prohibition effective July
1, 1919, and continuing during the
war, and until the American troops
are brought home and demobilized.
The compromise, an amendment by
Senator Sheppard of Texas, prohib1-
ton leader, to the $11,0OO,OOO emerg-
ency agricultural appropriation bill is
expected to remain in the measure
under the harmony agreement OF
"wet'' and "dry" factions, although
technically subject to another vote.
Passage of the bill itself is planned
soon and the measure will be returned
to the house, which is expected by
prohibition advocates to accept the
senate provision.
Adoption of the compromise legls-
lation came after the debate, spirited
between champions and opponents,
but with many marks of lack Of inter
est, including vacant seats, both on
the floor and in the galleries, because
the compromise was regarded as in
suring approval by the senate.
Efforts to materially change the
Sheppard substitute we're futile.
Amendments to advance and defer
the effective date and to extend the
time for it's operation against beer
and wine were overwhelmingly de-
feated without record roll calls.
Senator Phelan of California made
a vigorous fight for longer lease OF
life for the wine and beer industries,
but his amendments making the eff
fective date for their prohibition June
80, 1920, instead of year previous,
as the amendment provides, and also
applying the later date to wines
alone, were rejected overwhelmingly.

all but about dozen sleep on straw
mattresses with the soft pine floor for

a nice comfortable bed with our army

rainy night with underwear and

that peace through negotiation is an
