WASHINGTON, July 2 The third

Food and money bills are clogging

tans Itself and thanks the fate for
rules which curtail debate in boiling
Washington weather.
The senate, for the time being at
least, Is contused by prohibition.
Rharp differences between the drys
threaten again to precipitate acri
monious and more dreary debate.
This forenoon the senate agricul
ture committee met to com promise
if possible on a dry amendment to
the food bill, which despite legisla
11\e peregrinations is still the "reg
ular business"
Senator Chamberlain In charge of
the bill, wants whisk) prohibited,
with no reference whatever to beers
and wines
Senator Gore wants whisky pro
hibit-d. with authority lodged with
the president tu Mop beer and
wine production "when necessary."
"This power must go somewhere,"
Gore said today. "Lloyd-George cut
h.irlos fonsutnption # in England's
beer consumption from 36,000,000 to
1.0nn.000 bushels by having control
»f it I will fight for It."
Both sections claim to have the
administration viewpoint. However,
Senator .Chamberlain says, "It
looks like a floor fight any way you
put H." 1
It Chamberlain yields to the
Gore plan, some wets will revolt,
i;nd a group of drys led by Ik)rah
will not stand for adding the beer
control burden to the president’s
responsibilities.
•Til vote hone dry before I’ll do
this," Borah said. Anti, if Gore
yields to the Chamberlain plan, the
radb a I drys will revolt.
Over Sunday Herbert Hoover con*
terriil with committee members re

the measure is now in such shape
that Chamberlain hopes to get a
vote on it this week unless the dry
fight gets beyond control. He made
an effort today to get a vole bv to

PETROGRAD TELLS
OF BOMBARDMENT
Heavy Cannonading Is
Reported On Wide 3
Front
'
PETROGRAD, July 2 Russia's
flrst offensive under the new deoo*
rratio regime, was continuing vtf
oroualy today. “Artillery Are cl.-,
great intensity" was reported in
official war
direction of Zolotchov and Brsesany.
Berlin official statements es Rat nr- •
day gave the first hint of a resump
tion of fighting by tho Russians on
the Qaltclan front of such magnitude
as to suggest an offensive. The 9ms- f*
day night German statement confirm- ’
ed this balief, detailing an ambitious
blow struck by Gen. Bruslloff along
a front of approximately 13 v* miles.
On all this line, Russian troops suc
ceeded In storming the Teutonia first
line trenches, but the German state
ment Insisted that they were later ;
driven out after suffering heavy loss- •
es. This attack was along the ttypar 1
Strips as far as the Narayuvka rtver. |
Heavy artillery fire was reported ex.
tending as far aa the middle Stocbod
rtver on one side and Stanislaus off 1
the other.
The front which Rusaia has appgg h
ently selected for its offensive has i
not figured In the war news for nlna
or 10 months. Then the autocratic
regime staged a vigorous offensive
there that was not halted until ths '
German Invasion of Rumania forced
transfer of Russian troops to bols
ter up the ragged Romanian lines.
This is the first general fighting
along any considerable front that
has been waged by Russian troops
since the old government was over
thrown.
