Washington, Aug. 26.-Nationwide1
bone dry prohibition, effective July

war at least, loomed today as a

and senator's believed the house would
accept the proposal under negotia-s

In today's negotiations most OF the
prohibition advocates were agreeable
to fixing July 1, as the. date. They
first insisted that it should be April ls
but a majority were said to have coz

of the legislation were declared to be
convinced that it can not be defeated

GERMANS IN DESPAIR.
HUNS COUNTER MOVE BROKEN
UP-CANADIANS GAIN.
Letters Taken From Prisoners and
Dead Tcutons Indicate Hopeless
Despair Of Victory.

With the British Army in France,
Aug. PC (By the Associated Press).-
The German retirement is continuing
along many parts of the battle front
tonight The British are overwhelm-
ing the enemy's rear guards in heavy
fighting.
Reports indicate that at least one
ccunterattack has been broken up by
the British artillery concentrating its
fire on masses Of enemy troops.
South Of the Scarpe the Canadians
driving along the Arras-Albert-Cam-
brai Road, have gained more ground
and added more than thousand Ger
mans to the British total Of prisoners
during today's fighting.
Many letters taken from prisoners
and dead Germans indicate that hope
less despair is beginning to prevail
on the German side Of the line. A let
ter written home W German who
was stationed in town which has
now been captured, said:
The war has been lost for some
time, only those high up are failing to
admit it,
The letter added:
ooh, poor Germany, only the dead
at the front have forgotten this
swindle.''
Another letter said:
"This can not last much longer.
While still another German wrote:
Our losses greatly exceed all the
drafts. Germany is sure to lose very
soon'
1t is a fact that many letters taken
from prisoners whether written by
them to be posted home Or received
by them from civilians in the inter-
ior of Germany, arc in the same line.
A German in Berlin chided his broth
cr at the front about making rapid
progress to the rear. He then pre-
dicted that the war was surely COM
ing to an end and that with the
Allies then making an economic war,
Germany would be ruined.
Many of these letters were written
before the British began their drive.
