FOR A DRY NATION
 AFTER JAN. 1, 1913
Senate Agricultural Committee Agrees on Prohibition Clause Prohibits Sale During Con- tinuatiOn of War.

Washington, July s. 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 fH. Norris amendment to the $11 ,000,000 emergency agricultur- al appropriation bill by which the sale of distilled spirits, beer and wine, ex- cept for export, would be prohibited after January 1, and the manufacture of beer and wine stopped after No vember 1.
 Consideration of the uncontested committee amendments to the emer- gency measure was resumed today and dry leaders had hoped to reach the prohibition amendment, but considera- tion of the telegraph-telephone resolu- tion prevented.
 As originally proposed the Norris amendment would have prohibited the sale of distilled liquors and the manu- facture of wine, except for export, after next June 30, and the manu- facture of beer three months after the agricultural bill became law. The sale of wine, however, would not have been stopped.
 Under the amendment as reported today the removal of distilled spirits held in bond would be prohibited after January |, except under regulations prescribed by the commissioner of in- ternal revenue, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury. The commissioner also would prescribe re- gulations for the sale and distribution of wine for sacramental, medicinal or other non beverage purposes.
 The amendment as modified by the committee later was reported to the Senate by Chairman Gore as sub sttute for the Norris amendment. It follows:
 That after December 31, 1918, un- til the conclusion of the present war, for the purpose of conserving man power to the nation and to increase efficiency in the production of arms, war munitions, ships, food and cloth ing for the army and navy, it shall be unlawful to sell for beverage pur- poses any distilled spirits, and during said time no distilled spirits held in bond shall be removed therefrom for beverage purposes except for export.
 "After November 1, 1918, until the conclusion of the present war, na grain, cereal fruit, or other food pro- ducts shall be used in the manufacture or production of beer, wine or other intoxicating malt or vinous liquors for beverage purposes.

 NEW YORK PAPER
Publisher of Evening Mail is Arrested on Charge of Per- jury - Another Von Bern stOrff Deal.

New York, July S.-Dr. Edward A. Rumley, vice president an, treasurer of the Mail and Express Company publishers of the New York Evening Mail, was arrested here tonight in the office of Attorney General Lewis charged with perjury in a report to A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian.
 The complaint against Dr. Rumeiy charges that in making report to the alien property custodian regarding the transaction he failed to disclose his relation with Count von Bernstorff German ambassador to the United States, and Dr. Heinrich F. Albert, commercial attache of the German em- bassy.
 The attorney general charges that the German government paid to Rumely, in several transactions con nected with the purchase of the Mail, s1,361 ,000. The payments, it was alleged, were concealed until their details were discovered by investi- gators of the department of justice and the New York state attorney gen eral
 The warrant was issued by fed eral commissioner upon the complaint of Attorney General Lewis, who had been conducting an investigation for some time into the affairs of the Mail
 The attorney general charged rvmely purchased the stock of the Mail and Express Company in June 1917, from Henry l.. Stoddard, and that in doing so he acted on behalf of the Imperial German government
 In an announcement tonight of the arrest of Dr. Rumley, Attorney Gen eral Lewis declared the money was paid to Rumely from deposits of the German government standing in the name of Albert, or of Albert and von Bernstorf, jointly, in this city. The total so far traced, he added, is S1,- 361 ,000.
 The transfers of money, Mir. Lewis said, were concealed in this manner:
 Albert induced various banks where the German government had accounts to issue cashiers checks to the order of one Walter Lyon, mem- Der of the former Wall Street firm of Renskoff, Lyon and Company. This hrm, Tn turn, paid the money over to

ALLIES MAKE ADVANCE
 QN THREE FRONTS
French Drive Germans Back Two Miles in Seiss0ns Region Fighting in Albania Resum- ed, Italians Making Gain.

Continuing their aggressive defense in the face of the impending German offensive along the western battle front, the French have once more at tackled the enemy southwest of Sois- sons. Launching their blow from the eastern side of the Retz forest, north of Longpont, the French have ad- vanced over front of approximately two miles, taking Chavigny farm and the slopes to the north and south of it. Several hundred prisoners were captured.
 This assault may be linked up close ly with the recent offensive opera tions at St. Pierre Aigie and gives the French new front line from Longpont north az far as the south ern limits of Ambleny, almost eight miles.
 Australian troops holding positions astride the Somme river east of Amiens and north of Hamel, have swept the Germans back over a front of more than mile and strengthened out an awkward angle held by the Germans since the Australians and Americans carried their lines forward 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 line in Albania have struck hard at Austrian positions along the Voyyusa (Vojut- sal river, which flows into the Adria- tic about 20 miles north of the town of Avlona, one of the most important places in Southern Albania. Vienna admits that the Austrian "advanced posts have been withdrawn to their main positions" This report from Austrian headquarters probably re- fers to the action mentioned in the French official statement on Sunday night. It was said by the war office at Paris that the French and British forces had seized heights mi western Albania and had held them against counter attacks.
 Although the movement is as yet not fully developed, it may be that a serious offensive operation has been initiated there. Italian navy vessels would be able to cooperate with the land forces and if the line is pushed back very great distance, reloca- tion of the enemy lines running over the mountains into Macedonia might be necessary. The fighting north of Avlona has been going on for at least three days, which indicates that it may be more than a mere local action.

The Council of National Defense
authorizes the following: The Coun-
ell of National Defense has hereto
fore emphasized the necessity of re-
stricting Christmas buying during

tives Of the leading industries and

the manufacture of toys, is the waste
material derived from prior process
es of manufacture.

ALTON BOY WRITES OF
EXPERIENCE IN FRANCE

In writing to a friend in this city
under date of Aug. %, Weston Will

member of the Headquarters compa-
ny, 16Sth infantry, says in part:
Two letters came a few days ago
one dated July 10 and the other one
July Is. and l sure was glad to get
them as / had not received q letter
for so long. We were not able to
send or receive mail while at the
front, the last time. We are now at
rest far behind the lines where we
can not hear the roar OF the big guns.
You spoke about it being hot. Well.
we had some scorching weather over
here. We noticed 1t more when we
had to make a long hike in the day
time, but we nearly always do our
hiking at night.

wish that l were in it, / would like
to trade lids as you say. Ours
are some hot to wear in the sun. One
almost sweats his head OF. They are
queer looking but at the same time
they are a great protection when the
pig iron is falling around you, and
that occurs quite often at the front.
I saw one OF our American aviators
brought down; he hit not far from
where we were stationed. l went
over and saw the wreck and mangled
corpse. ! have sure seen some ex-
citing things happen on the battle
field. A battle in the air is a great
thing to watch. especially when you
see the Hun planes falling. One day
was lucky enough to see a German
plane come down with two men in 1t.
and had chance to see them be-
fore the Red Cross came to get them.
Neither one of the men were injured
very badly. / would have liked to
have finished them. We have no use
for a person who even looks like a
German.
Since l last wrote you I have been
on two large battle fronts. On the
first one we helped to stop q German
attack and on the last one we helped
in an attack. The last battle I was
in was on the big drive at Chateau
Thierry. Our division sure did some
nahtings and Il was there that saw
