FRANCE HoNORS HEROES
 OF. THE GREAT WAR

Paris. July 14 CBy the A. P.).-The conquerorS in the great war marched today in victory parade under the Arc de Triomphe, through which only victors may pass. Picked units and individual heroes represented each of the allied armies.
 Several million grateful persons, mostly French. but with many thou sands of their allies. struggled for opportunity to wave and shout, their gratitude to the men who saved them from German imperialism.
 - The. place of honor in the procession was not accorded to the generals and the smartly equipped troops. It was given to a thousand niutilated soldiers who passed under. the arch and in front of the reviewing stand, where stood President Poincare, moving haltingly and out of step. as best they could. some were in, wheel chairs and others were on crutches or slimped along with the aid of canes Few of them were in uniform. They represented all the provinces of France. all. branches of the military service, and all walks in life, as was indicated by the variety of their civilian attire. They made no effort to. maintain military lorna : ton, but marched as well. as they could to the airs played by the mili- tary band which led them.
 Great crowds filed every inch of space in the many streets and botfie- wards that commanded a viewaaof the line of march. Balconies were packed, roofs were black with people and many hung in the trees which line the boulevard

 Two minor amendments ran the blockade, one being passed on a rec ord vote when the forces split to such an extent that Chairman Nolstead of the Judiciary committee, leader of the prohibition fight, was counted with leaders of the minority.

The other amendment made a slight change in the bills wording

 Representative Rainey, democrat, of Illinois, brought volley of applause from the 'wets when he expressed the hope that the president would veto the enforcement bill because of it's drastic provisions.
 The feeling between the factions got so bitter at times that the usual cour- tesy Of permitting a member to revise and extend his remarks was denied Prohibition members objected when Representative Reber, republican, of Pennsylvania, who had made a strong plea for beer wanted to add some thing he was deprived of saying in his limited allotment of time Mir. Reber had intimated in his speech that some members were not a1togeth- CT truthful as to tIleir< d rinlxing hahits.- declaring that SC Tar as 3-4 per cent beer was concerned he had taken two ks of it. hand running and it had no mere effect than so much water He aoced that he never drank gal Tor of beer in his life and simply took this much the other day to see if it woLlG make him drunk

 The disturbance arose first during an attempt by Representative BIan- ton, democrat, Texas, to speak sec ond time against an amendment which would have given jury the right to define intoxicants.

 After two and three quarters per cent beer had been bowled over by a record vote of 15I to 90-and this was about the relative decision on all amendments-the prohibitionists went after another amendment by Repres- entative NIgoe. democrat. of Missouri which would have stricken out all de- hnitton of jntoxicants, killing the pro- pesaL I3s ito S3.
 When it seemed the majority was weary of voting down every proposal by the other side, points of order were raised. and some motions designed 10 make the law less drastic were picked up by the nape of the neck. as members expressed it, and bodily thrown out This happened to an amendment by Representative Lea. democrat California. in the interest ot grape growers, which provided for the manufacture of wine containing eleven per cent alcohol
