Eleventh hour efforts to extend the time for manufacture of beer and wine and disposal of stocks of in- toxicating beverages were futile, the senate rejecting without a =oll call an amendment by Senator Phelan of California to make the provision ef- fective December 30, 1919, The senate also defended an effort toward federal payment for stocks of distilled spirits remaining unsold June 30, 1919, rejecting 36 to 15 an amend- ment by Senator Bankhead of Ala- bama proposing a presidential com- mission to report to congress tke ac- tual value, not exceeding ost, ef such spirits. with a view to an appropria- tion for reimbursement of owners..

P.).—Substantial ad- vances again are reported all along the southern part of the line. 'The Australians have crossed the.Somme on-a wide front south 'of Peronneand, after overcoming. heavy = opposition, have driven into the te en- emy was' holding. St Mesnil, Doignt and Athi i have been taken and progress is re- ported to have been made east of these places. The enemy also has driven back from east and northeast of Peronne. Over the whole area from which the Germans are retreating on this large isection of the front many fires are |raging and numerous explosions have been heard. Whole villages are afiame i between the points to which the Brit- ish have reached and the Hindenburg line. Here and in the northern areas the Germans are burning vast quanti- ties of war materials which they have not had time to save, as the British are pushing them too hard. 3 The British have reached the Athies- Ham road and are on the eastern out- skirts of Bussu. At Nurlu there has been heavy fighting. Strong German forces, fighting desperately with ma- chine guns and trench mortars, have caused the British to. pause here for the moment. Along the whole front southern extremity to the Bapaume- Cambrai road the enemy artillery fire gradually is dwindling away, indicat- ing that the Germans are making strenuous efforts to get their guns back of the Hindenburg defences be- fore the British catch up with them. In the Queant area the British, af. ter sharp fighting, occupied the ridge south of Moeuvres and captured more {German posts around Havrincourt ‘Wood the advance north and south of Bxjuancourt met with heavy resist- ance. Just east of here the whole town of Fins is aflame, and this re- sistance probably was offered to give the destruction = squads in Fins a chance to complete their work. British posts west of the Canal du Nord, north of Inchy, have been push- |ed forward, but patrols on the west ibank of the canal were heavily fired {upon from the east bank. One of the British :patrols crawled across a dam- aged bridge and came upon an enemy. outpost asleep. It pounced upon the sleeping Germans and captured three of them. In the north. where the British are reported to be making advances, more fires-are raging. In_many places north of the Sensee River the Ger- mans for several hours have been fir- ing thousands of gas shells, so indis- criminately as to make it appear that they are trying to get rid of them. A ‘number of fires have been report- ed in the area south of the Estaires- Armentieres road. There have been { three counter-attacks against Hill 63 and the surrounding positions. Two of these broke down completely, but during the third, north of the hill, the British were compelled to fall back slightly. Further north the British reached the crest of the important ridge north- west. of Wulverghem, but were un- able to make further progress for a time because of the heavy enemy ma- chine gun and trench mortar fire. Still further north piece after of ground is being regained. British have reached Canteleux and are pushing on toward Violaines. ‘Weak enemy counter-attacks south .of Ploegsteert were easily smothered. The NO.
