sitfer only war legislation were aban­doned because it was believed delaying action until the next session will help the prohibition cause.

The resolution passed the senate late yesterday by a vote of 65 to 20, eight more than the necessary two-thirds.

If the house of representatives con­curs and thirty-six states ratify the amendment the manufacture, sale transportation and importation of al­coholic liquors will be prohibited in the United States thereafter.

The senate measure provides that the proposed constitutional amend­ment shall not be operative unless it is ratified by the states within six yean. Although this limitation ls of doubtful constitutionality, it was pro­posed by the wets as a condition of support of the Shepherd resolution fftid was accepted by the drys, who are confident that they can line up thirty-six states for the amendment within si* years.

FEARED WET FILIBUSTER. Had it not been for this compromise

agreement the vote in the senate •would hare been extremely close. The drys, fearing a wet filibuster and the defeat of the resolution by possibly a •Ingle vote» agreed to the six year limitation in order to assure the im­mediate passage of the measure by th« senate.

The wets made these terms with the drys because they believe their best ehimce of defeating national prohibi­tion lies in halting national agitation, transferring the fight to the stateB and lining up thirteen states to block rati­fication.

infantry. To the low visibility, also, has been attributed such success as the Germans were able to gain in their counter attacks, the poor sighting con­ditions preventing the entente gunners from massing their fire effectively to break up the enemy concentrations.

FRENCH FRONT ACTIVE. Despite the hard fighting in Flanders

the Germans are continuing their pro­nounced activities on the French front. Paris reports two attacks on the French lines east and southeast of Rheims and assaults ln the Avocourt wood sector in the Verdun region and in the Apremont forest southeast of St. Mihlel. All these were fruitless for the Germans.

OERMANS CLAIM ADVANTAGE. Berlin, Aug. 2.—The German battle

fine In Flanders has been moved for­ward as a result of successful counter attacks, army headquarters announced today. The hostile attacking forces ef­fected no gains and suffered heavy losses ln the face of the unweakened German defensive, it is declared.

FRENH HURL FOE BACK. Paris, Aug. 2.—Bad weather con­

tinues in Belgium, says the official statement issued this afternoon by the French war department. *

The Germans last night made two at­tacks to the east and southeast of Rheims but both failed. On the left bank of the river Meuse there was a violent artillery duel, the Germans last night attacked ln the sector of Avo­court wood without success and sever­al attacks in Apremont forest south­east of St. Mihiel failed utterly.

BERLIN BOASTS UNWARRANTED. [Associated Press Summnr.v.1 \

Germany is battling with a despj tion probably unparalleled in the

German Prisoners See Defeat For Fatherland

British Front in France and Bel­gium, Wednesday Night, August 1.— (By The Associated Press)—"The sit­uation is virtually unchanged." This sumg up the day's news from the wide zone along which the British and French yesterday hurled Prince Rup-precbt's forces back to the supporting defenses at a depth varrying between one and three miles. .

Artillery activities continued with great intensity, the British pouring a steady stream of high explosive shells into positions which the Germans now hold but there was comparatively lit­tle infantry fighting,

RAIN DETERS FIGHTERS. The allies today were busy con­

solidating the positions they captured yesterday. Heavy German counterat­tacks had been looked for but outBide of a few local attempts to regain posi­tions these did not materialize. This was due, perhaps, partly to the heavy rain which continued without cessation since last night, filling shell holes with water and turning the ground into a deep mud over which it is difficult to fight.

The German guns, however, many of which had been withdrawn to post tions further back before the rain be­gan, have been carrying on a steady bombardment especially against the territory captured by the allies on the northern side of the Ypres-Salient but their firing have been more or less erratic because of the storm which blocked the .work of observation.

GERMANS U8E GAS SHELLS. As usual, the Germans are employ­

ing great quantities of gas shells. Due to the complete preparations

made for yesterday's assault the Brit­ish casualties have not been excessive but the condition of the battlefield and statements by prisoners indicated that the German losses were exceedingly heavy.

Tfie British medical corps again has evinced a most complete organization. At 8 o'clock last night all British wounded had been collected and brought back to emergency stations.

More than 4,000 prisoners with some sixty officers were taken by the Brit­ish ln the Ypres salient alone.

GERMAN LOSSES ENORMOUS. Prussians, Bavarians and Saxons all

have given of their number to swell the total captured and no more de­lected appearing men have been seen ln British prison stations since the be­ginning of the war. Particularly noticeable was the scarcity of vet­eran con-commissioned officers and the large number of youths from the 1918 class who are nothing more than raw recruits. One veteran of many bat­tles freely expressed his contempt for these youngsters, who he said, lacked stamina to stand up under the hard­ships of war and could not be depend­ed upon in a tight place, such as they found themselves facing yesterday.

PRISONERS A SORRY LOT. A majority of these prisoners were

a miserable, sorry looking lot, many of them suffering from internal com­plaints caused by exposure and the majority from hunger. Few of them have any hopes of Germany winning the war and one officer ventured the opinion that the time of the father­land's downfall was near. He based his opinion largely on the scarcity of men and the many boyish faces now ln the prison cages appear to be in­dicative of a lack of human material.

RUSSIAN WOMEN

ence at headquarters recently and vir­tually sent an ultimatum to Prem­ier and War Minister Kerensky that unless the army was kept outside of politics and treated merely as a fight­ing machine they would resign as be­ing unable to carry on the war victor­iously. The correspondent believes the ultimatum will be accepted.

AUSTRIANS TELL OF ADVANCE. Vienna, Aug. 2.—The official state­

ment from Austrian headquarters is­sued here today says:

"In the eastern theatre north of the Casin valley, violent enemy attacks again broke down, ln the region of the Three Land Angle, our troops deliver­ed a surprise attack against a height occupied by Russians. The enemy was defeated.

"We are advancing toward Kimpo-lung in southern Bukowina. South­west and northwest of Czernowitz, fresh resistance effected by the enemy supported by a counter attack was broken down after a fierce battle. The Russians are retreating."

URGES AMERICA TO HURRY. London, Aug. 2.—''Looking from the

broadest aspect at the events of the past fortnight in Russia," said Major General Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war offices, in his weekly talk to the Associated Press. "It will necessarily mean a prolongation of the war. We cannot longer count on any great ma­terial assistance from Russia. Thin means a greater burden on the other entente allies, and for the United States it means she must come into the field as soon as possible and with the greatest possible force."

SAY RETREAT CONTINUES. Berlin, Aug. 2.—Austro^rerman troops

have made further advances in Buko­wina and are now standing before Klmpoltmg, says today's army head­quarters announcement.

North of Czernowitz and south of the Dniester they are approaching the Russian frontier.

The Russian Carpathian forces are now ln retreat between the Pruth and the Kelmen mountains, the statement reports.
