sheviki bullets, unconscious for weeks
from loss of blood, placed on a
stretchet and carried out for burial,
caught in typhoon at sea, where he
lost everything but his clothes and
had to subsist for several days upon
stale bread-these are some of the ex-
periences of Allows Lukanitsch, a
brother of Mrs. j. A. Meyer of New
England, who is now in the Letterman

fantry, guarding railroad property.
About a month ago the news Of the
treacherous attack Of the Bolshevik
forces on the small force of Americans
guarding the railroad property at Ro-
manovka was given to the world for
the first time. The brave men bat
tied against great odds and held out
against the "Reds" until reinforce
ments rescued from their perilous po-
cred.
Knowing that her brother was a
member Of the company which was SO
nearly wiped out in this bloody en-
counter, Mrs. Meyer put in many
anxious weeks. The assistance OF
Senator McCun,ber was enlisted to as
certain if her brother had been killed
This week she received letter from a
relative in San Francisco, saying that

DRY FORCES ARE
WINNING POINTS
Attack on Drastic Provisions
of Enforcement Bill Fall
Down Again.
nv Associated Press

BY Associated Press;
WASHINGTON. July 19.-Attacks
on drastic provisions of the prohi-
bition enforcement bill fell down
again Saturday in the house while
the dry forces. still in supreme COM
mand. romped through the measure
section by section and put the lid on
debate at a nod from their leader.
1t was a great day for the drys.
They took control at the start, re-
fused to permit house leaders to
take out FIVE minutes for considera-
ton OF an important money meas
ure and kept on at work again to-
night in an effort TO pass the bill at
one sitting.
While the house was knocking
down amendment after amendment
designed to liberalize the measure,
Rep. Igoe. democrat, of Missouri,
announced he would offer a substi-
tute that could be enforced with
out the annual expenditure of $50
100000 and without a standing
army"
No Enforcement Clause.
There is no provision in the Igoe
bill for enforcement Of war time
prohibition. nor does il define intox-
icating liquors, and persons manu-
featuring, selling, importing or eX-
porting liquors would be subject to
a $500 fine and one years imprison-
ment for the first Offense.
There was the utmost confusion 1T
times during the day and often half
a dozen were asking recognition
with so much clatter some members
complained they did not know what
the house was doing. Several
amendments offered by Chairman
Volstead Of the judiciary committee,
in charge Of the bill went through.
The house also accepted one by Rep.

BY a vote Of IS TO 20 an amend
ment designed 10 protect from in
vasion a home in the same building
with a store in which liquor was
sold was defeated over the protest
OF a few ardent prohibitionists who
declared there was danger of con-
gress going TOO far. on the heels OF
this the house adopted Il 10 81 an
amendment which would permit
search OF a private dwelling used
for the sale Of intoxicants.
Chairman Volstead, patron Of the
bill. declared the search and seizure
section had been the "bugaboo' OF
the whole enforcement discus ion
and that the only things that could
be taken away after search were
liquor and implements for its manu-
facture.
