PROPOSE TO EXTEND
PROHIBITION DATE
(By Associated PressS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26- Presi
dent Wilson, senate prohibition lead.
ers declared today is not opposed to
legisla tion pending in the senate pro-
posing national prohibition during the
war, but has suggested that the pro-
posed time for its becoming effective,
January 1, next. be extended. Nego-
tiations to that end, it was said,
seemed to assure an agreement for
passage of the bill and also for some
extention of time to liquor interests.
Later today after much cloak room
negotiations, leaders said the prohi-
bition supporters had agreed to fix
July l, 1918 instead of January l Of
next year as the date when prohibit
tion would become effective Although
some of the bills opponents were de-
manding a longer extension, repre-
sentatives of both factions said it ap-
peared probable that July l finally
would be agreed to.

SENATE GIVES
CLEAR TRACK
TO new man
POWER BILL
Action Taken to Expedite
Procedure re-Military Com
mittee Reports House Draft
With Minor Amendments.
TAKE V0TELATE TODAY
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-A clear
track was given in the senate today
to the man power bill, passed Saturday
by the house, broadening the army
draft age limit to Is and IS years.
When the senate convened under a
long standing agreement to take up
war time prohibition, Senator Shep-
pard OF Texas, prohibition advocate.
moved to temporarily lay that meas
ure aside. 1t was agreed to and de-
bate on amendment to the man power
bill was resumed with passage late
today or tomorrow expected.
To expedite and simplify procedure
the house bill was substituted for the
draft which has been pending in the
senate. The senate military commit.
tee met before the senate convened
and reported the house bill with minor
amendments after adding the senate
amendments including the work or
fight" proposal
Strike Out Amendment
The senate committee struck out the.
amendment of Representative Tread.
way OF Massachusetts,, adopted by the
house, providing for appointment of
special examiners by the provost mar.
shal general to re-classify men in ex-
listing deferred class. This amend
ment the committee agreed would
cripple authority OF state draft board
and Is unnecessary because General
Crowder already has power to make
any re-classiflcation deemed desirable.
BY vote of SO to 13, the senate ac-
cepted the committee amendment pre-
sented by Senator Reed of Missouri
providing for the education after the
war at government expense OF boys
under 21 years of ago who either en-.
list or are drafted into the military
service or naval service
After attempts to modify 1t had
tailed the senate accepted without a
record vote the committee providing
that the wife of a soldier or sailor
shall not be disqualified for any posi-
tion under the government because
she is married.
Senator Shields of Tennessee pro-
posed a substitute in effect waving
the civil service laws in so far as they
would affect such women which was
rejected by vote of 40 to 80.
Another committee amendment
adopted provides that men under q
shall not be denied commissions or en-
trance to officers training camp be-
cause of their youth.

Allied High Command Praises
Manner in Which British
Troops Won Victory.

PARIS, Aug. 26-The allied high

front shows that these hopes will not

the German staff to admit defeat
Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris

in the German lines. That the enemy

eouvers, he says, proves the tremen.
dous superiority that the allies have
gained over the Germans.
Lieut.. Col. Fabry, in Oui, declares
that unstinted praise must be given
the manner in which the British at
tacks have been carried out. He de-
clares that the allied success north of
the Somme is a purely British victory.
AUSTRIAN TROOPS EXPECTED
PARIS, Aug. 26.-The appearance of
Austro-Hungarian troops on the west
ern front did not surprise the newspa-
pers, which declare that the presence
of Austrians behind the German lines
was actually known for several
months. The presence OF the Aus
trians as fighting troops at the request
Of Germany, is declared to be striking
proof Of the seriousness of the enemy'e
situation.
The Petit Journal says that the Aus.
trians captured by the French belong
ed to the Life Guards.

North from scissors, past Noyon to

america has surprised the world
said Lieutenant Bruno Roselli. Italian
officer who spoke at Chautauqua Mon,
day morning. Mr.. Roselli resigned his
professorship at AN American college
in Brooklyn and enlisted as a pri, ,ate
when the Italians declared war on
Germany and Austria and since then
has been in action on the Italian front

sent back to America to lecture.
eve were expecting America to be
generous" he said. ''just as one ex-
poets a great-hearted overgrown sew
enteen-year-old boy to be generous, but
we were not expecting America to be
humble and give up her privileges of
organizing a separate army under
American control and so to have all
the glory of doing American deeds of
bravery. The great fusing spirit OF
brotherhood among all the Allies, the
spirit which makes Americans and
Italians and French and English fight
side by side under any command, is
the spirit which will win the war;
The lieutenant spoke in glowing
terms of the great part Italy had play
ed in the war, and denounced the Ger
man propaganda which had belittled
the Italian nation. He pointed out
how Italy really was responsible for
France being able to turn the tide at
the first great battle of the Marne.
Three times the Germans have
tried to bribe the Italians. said Lieut..
Roselli, first to enter the war on their
side, by which means. with Germany
on the north and east, Austria on the
east and Italy on the south, all
swooping down onto Paris, the French
government would have been ended
within a few weeks; second, when
they were approached with a bribe to
keep neutral, when that would leave
the Austrian army free to wreck it's
fury on other nations; and finally aft
er Italy had entered the war, they
were again offered the bribe of be-
traying the confidenc Of the allies.
But Italy has remained true to
the allied cause" the speaker said,
