 dent of Victory

Washington, July 8.-Legislation providing for practically absolute pro- hibition during the war was reported to the senate today after the agricul- tural committee had agreed to drastic changes in the Norris amendment to the $11 100000 emergency agricultur- al appropriation bill by which the sale of distilled spirits, beer and wine, ex- cept for export, would be prohibited after January and the manufacture of beer and wine stopped after Nov ember l.
 Prohibition leaders hope the amend ment will be taken up tomorrow and are confident of victory.

FRENCH DELIVER SMASHING BLOW AT GERMAN LINES Advance on Two Mile Front and Take Several Hundred Pris.
 OnerS ITALIANS START
 NEW OFFENSIVE Force Austrians to Retreat at I'm. portant Point Near AvelOna
 Reports Indicate it is
 Great Movement
Associated Press Summary


 Continuing their aggressive defense in the face of the impending Ger man offensive along the western bat tie front, the French have once more attacked the enemy southwest of Soissons. Launching their blow from the eastern side Of the Retz forest. north of I.ongport. the French have advanced over front Of approxi- mately two miles, taking Chavigny farm and the slopes to the north and south of it.
 Several hundred prisoners were captured by the French in their sud- den attack. This assault may be linked closely with the recent offen- sive operation in St. Pierre Aigle, and gives the French new front line from Longport north as far as the southern limits of Ambleny, dis tance of almost eight miles.
 Australians Also Advance
 Australian troops holding nositions astride the Somme river east of Amiens and north of Hainer have swept the Germans back over a front of more than a mile. and straighten- ed out an awkward angle held by the Germans since the Australians and Americans carried their lines for ward in their spirited attack July 4.
 Berlin mentions local attacks In the Clignon sector which Is held by Americans, and between the Marne and Rheims.
 Italian forces operating on the ex- treme left wing of the allied lines in Alvana have struck hard at Austrian positions along the Boyusa (Bojutca) ~fiver which flows into the Adriatic about 20 miles north of the town of AvelCna, one of the most important places in Southern Avana.
 Vienna Admits Withdrawal
 Vienna admits that the Austrians "advanced posts have been with drawn to their main positions" This report from Austrian Headquarters probably refers to the action men, toned in the French official state- ment Sunday. It was said by the war office at Paris that French and Italian forces had seized heights in western Alvania and had held them against counter attacks.
 Altho the movement Is as yet not fully developed, 1t may be that serious offensive operation has been initiated there. Italian naval vessels would be able to cooperate with the land forces, and If the line is pushed back very great distance re-loca- tion of the enemy lines running over the mountains into Macedonia might be necessary. The fighting north of Avelona has been going on at least three days which indicates that 1t may be more than a mere local action.

The measure Of greatness of a
people is the unanimity with which
they rally to the support of their
principles and their ideals. If there
were ever any doubt that the Amer
lean people are one in heart and
soul, that. doubt has been forever
dispelled. for, when Americans can
be induced to lay aside that idol so
dear to the hearts of all-politics
the world may be assured that they
are dominated and controlled by
that greatest of all passions. love
of home and native land. 1t is
only the politician of the peanut
variety that is at all active these
days. The statesman has forgotten
that politics exist. 1t is this unani-
nifty of sentiment and laying aside
of all minor differences that is caus-
ing grave concern in the councils of
the kaiser. And this concern is not
lessened when he observes that a
like spirit is lacking in his own
dominions.-Nez Perez Herald.

The Press has never intimated
that it considered the farmers who
belong to the Non Partisan League
disloyal. The percentage of dis
loyal persons in the rank and file of
the leagues membership may be no
greater than in dozens of organiza-
lions throughout the country.
What strikes us as odd is, reports
from all sections are to the effect
that German citizens are focking to
the leagues standard; that liberty
bond sales are slow in league terri
tory; Townley, the leagues presi-
dent, is to be tried on charge of
hindering the draft; and last, the
league leaders have recognized and
are in sympathy with the l. w. w.

A little more pull-together spirit
is necessary in Kendrick if the town
is to continue to prosper. There is
too much crepe hanging on the part
of some of our worthy citizens.
This spirit will kill the best town
on earth if carried far enough.
Now that kendrick has taken a
boom and has been so substantially
improved during the past few years,
it is we'll to keep the good work GO
ing and to do this will require some
unselfish boosting on the part of
the business men Of the town. 1t
is a well-known fact that town
must either go forward or back
ward. improvements are absolute
ly necessary if We expect the town
to go forward and keep abreast
of the times. If everyone will do
his part there is no reason why
Kendrick can not be made the best
town of it's size in the state. Pull
ing together will do it.

The farmer has great problem
to face and solve in the marketing
of his products, and this govern
ment must help solve that problem.
There is far too wide gulf be-
tween producer and consumer, and
too often the middle man has rob-
bed both the man who produces and
those who consume. There is a
sane, legitimate middle ground, a
safe business way, of solving this
problem, without the farmer jump
ing into the Non Partisan League
band wagon, under the leadership
of Townley, an irresponsible vision
airy who has been failure in all
that he has ever attempted. The
farmer will gain nothing by Jump
ing from the frying pan into the
fire.-Clearwater Republican.

cities all over the country have
raised prices to a much greater ex-
tent than the small dealers in the
little towns. A retail price list

Never in the history of the town
have conditions been so favorable
for paving Main Street. The grad
ing, which is an important item of
expense, will have to be done
whether the street is paved or not.
Public sentiment seems to be quite
strongly in favor of paving and
there will be many disappointed
property owners in the town if the
matter is dropped. ].
Main Street was in such a disrep.
utable condition this winter that no
self-respecting person could look
forward with any degree Of pleas
ure to the prospect of spending an
other winter in close proximity to
such a sea Of mud. Other towns
not far away, no larger than Kend-
rick have paved during the past
year and they are enthusiastic
boosters for this class of improve
ment.
The cost will not be heavy when
divided into payments covering a
period of ten years. Any property
owner can afford the expense con-
nected with paving but no one can
afford to be without the improved
conditions that would result from a
paved Main Street.

In again cutting down the amount
of white -four allowed to each in
dividual, the food administration
has still further demonstrated the
imperative necessity of conserving
this commodity. AS long as the
substitutes hold out there is prac-
tically no sacrifice involved in linn
iting the consumption of white
flour. We could easily dispense
with white flour entirely if it would
help to end the war.
