' The victory is the more notable when it is remembered that a two-thirds vote was required. The Senate gave this vote with eight to spare, submitting a Pro hibition amendment of the Con stitution of the United States to the several states for ratification. Op December 22. 1914, the House of the C3rd Congress voted on a similar resolution, which received a majority vote, but not the nec essary two-thirds. This marks rapid progress.
