BEER ADVOCATES LOSE House Allows Seven' Years For Rati fication To Upper Body's Six Wild Demonstration When Measure Is Adopted. Washington. Nation-wide prohibi tion won its greatest victory when the House of Representatives, by a vote of 282 to 128, passed the Shep-pard-Webb resolution, submitting to the states an amendment to the Fed eral Constitution outlawing the man ufacture and sale of distilled and fer mented liquors in the United States. The Senate passed a somewhat sim ilar resolution last summer by a vote of 65 to 20.

Their victory marks the greatest stride ever made by the prohibition forces In America. The House end Senate resolutions are somewhat different In text and they must go to conference. The House resolution provides that the states or the Union must ratify the amendment In seven years against a time limit of six years fixed In the Senate measure. The House resolution also gives dis tilleries, wineries and breweries a year of grace in which to close out their business if the amendment is ratified. The Senate resolution does not prolde for this year of grace. The House resolution also provides that the states shall have concurrent police power to enforce the prohibition law. The Senate resolution does not con tain this provision. The vote in the House, taken after a day of debate before crowded gal leries, was 282 to 128, with the parties dividing almost evenly. The margin for prohibition was just eight votes more than the necessary two-thirds of the membership of the House re quired for adoption, and 6 more than two-thirds of those voting. Both wets and drys had been pre dicting victory all day, and It was not until the last few names had been called that the antl-prohlbition forces conceded their defeat.

They re-echoed the sentiment of General Pershing that "we're going to break the German line with a human wedge." General Bliss voiced the optimism of the mission. He said: "The British and French Arn.ha and people are more determined than ever. There is no thought say place of quitting before victory. And our boys are in the same state of mind. Every one feels that the victory must come." But they brought back a new con cept of the task which faces America. Not only was the military and naval problems thoroughly canvassed at the inter-AUled conference, - but tbe re sources of the Allies were estimated In the minutest detail. It was re ported here that the conference had decided that the United States must come forward with even larger num bers of men and ships in tbe imme diate future. .Reports Satisfactory, Admiral Benson, chief of operations In the Navy, and General Bliss, of the Army General Staff, arrived here from New York. Admiral Benson had a long conference with the Secretary of the Navy Daniels, and submitted his formal report. General Bliss was closeted with Secretary Baker for more than two hours. None of these officials would discuss details of tbo conferences. All of them indicated. however, that conditions are highly satisfactory.

Both Gen eral Bliss and Admiral Benson have submitted and will continue to submit voluminous reports. It is generally believed that they have not recommended any larger par ticipation by the United States In the winter campaign in Europe. It is ad mitted this is practically impossible; and it is believed that the French and, English are adequate for 'the defense. There has been for some time a growing sentiment In Washington that the United States will have to bear a larger - part in the final offensive against the Germans, however, and the recommendations of these plans is believed to be In the hands of the government -One official at the War Department declared that the return of these men from Europe ' came at a most oppor tune time, as they will both now be enabled to tell the congressional In quirers Just what has been done and what muse be done. Their testimony, apparently to be backed by the advice of all the nations against Germany, will, it is believed, have added weight with Congress In carrying out tbe plans they recommend.
