MAY SELL WINE. FOR
SACRAlNENTAL USE

New regulations for the use of
sacramental wine have been held
up, as a result of protests from
Jewish rabbis and the representa-

yesterday.
The postponement will permit

Original regulations called for the
annual use of ten gallons of wine
by each family, but these were
amended to limit the amount to one

that the Greek armies are in retreat
from the Sakaria River.

are that a large force of Turks
attempted to cross the Sakaria and

The retreat of the Hellenic forces,

LONDON. Sept. l6.-Today Lord

who is on a vacation in Scotland
was summoned to see the prime
minister. as well as A dentist from
Inverness. 1t is declared, however
that his illness is not serious and
he is expected to be on his feet In

Lloyd George may cut short his
holiday because of the Irish situ-
alton and return to London as soon
as he is able to travel.
The Irish republican army has
been reorganized and restrengthcn-
ed during the truce and arms have
been imported from America and
elsewhere.
There is much talk of an Irish
plebiscite on the English terms, but
the trouble is that the terms are
much too indefinite yet for a vote
and they cannot be defined before
a conference.
All the Sim Fein and national-
list newspapers are calling for con-
tinuance of the negotiations. The
Freeman's Journal declares tbat

SENATORS ANXIOUS

ELECTION TUESDAY
Choice of Democrat May

BY ROBERT J. BENDER.

The New Mexican senatorial cleo
tion next Tuesday will have an i'm
portant influence on the Republican
organization of the Senate il Sena-
tor Bursum, a Republican stand
patter," is defeated by Richard H.
Hanna, a progressive Democrat.
Thek Democrats have made the
New Mexican contest a cIear-cuI
issue on "standpatism versus pro-
gressivism." Republican progress
sives have looked on with detached
interest Frantic appeals from
Bursum for oratorial aid from Sen

Of no avail.

Progressive interest in tho New
Mexican election fight chiefly con-
Germs the Leadership and policy of
the Republicans in the upper branch
Of Congress. The progressives have
been awaiting an inning, and this
event may AFFORD it,
1t has been obvious that the pro-
gressives and the leaders of the
agricultural bloc have shown IN in
difference to party leadership in
theSenate. Since IL has been con-
trolled by administration leaders
the progressives have made II clear
in private utterances that their sole
purpose was to go along. but keep
the progressive record clear"
If Bursum is elected the progress

Opposition to Watson.
Senator Watson, Indiana, has
been mentioned as the most likely
successor to Lodge. Watson is not
progressive. There are strong
elements in the Middle West which
would normally oppose him.
On the other hand, the progress
sives have no one who would seem
able to command the necessary sup

Borah-has been asked by the ad-
