' (From a Staff Correspondant) Lincoln, Neb., March 22. (Spe cial.) The "bone dry" prohibitory bill, which had been made a special order in the senate .for 10:30 o'clock this morning, has been put over until next Tuesday at the same hour. Pro posed amendments offered by Rob ertson, which eliminate many of the extra dry features, will be printed by that time. Nearly a hundred amendments to the bill were reported. What Changes Made. . The amendments strike out com pletely or in part fifteen of the sixty sections of the law, and amend others to the following effect: , '': Remove-all limits on the amount of liquor that may be on band May 1. Tone down the most drastic meas ures designed to facilitate law en forcement. Allow anyone to make wine or cidef at their home, providing they do not sell it. Give saloons thirty days after May 1 to dispose of their stock. Permit distilleries in the state to continue disposing of their stock of bonded goods outside the state, under federal regulation. Permit the manufacture without re strictions of ethyl-alcohol in the state. The amendments propose to strike an t all those sections of the bill which relate to the restrictions hedging common carriers and consignees in the shipment of liquor into the state, on the ground that the federal bill, Pi olnbiting the interstate shipment ot iuor into dry territory, will take care of this contingency. "The bill is now boiled down into a simple, workable 'dry' law, with all red tape removed," declared Senator Robertson. Drys Up in Arms. Senator Beal of the dry committee, on the other hand, declares the amendments are pernicious and such that they will positively not be en dorsed by the "dry" wing of the sen ate. He says allowing unlimited quan lilies of liquor in private is the best inducement for bootlegging, which condition will inevitably result.

Hard fighting has been in progress between the French and Germans in the neighbor hood of St. Qtientin. According to the official statement issued by the war office tonight, the Germans made a number of attempts to drive back the French from the east bank of the St. Quentin canal, but the attacks tailed. There also were lively engage ments west of La Fere, one of the German strongholds. London, March 22. "The enemy's resistance is increasing along our whole front from west of St. Quentin to south ot Arras, says the ottictal re port from British headquarters in France today. "Heavy snowstorms during the day added to the difficulties ot our advance. Telegraphing from the British head quarters in France today Reuter's cor respondent says: "Wintry conditions continue on the western front, with considerable falls of snow, rendering field operations difficult, the bad weather, however, is as unfavorable to the Germans as to ourselves, as they cannot get ob servations on the strength or direc tion of our advance. Near St. Quentin. "This advance during yesterday and last night was of the same character as on the previous day, that is to say, it was most rapid in the Auterre plateau, west of St. Quentin, and was the slowest along the frttoit of about twenty miles extending southeastward from Arras. "The latest report is that tour cav alry patrols were in contact with Ger man rear guards within five miles of the outskirts of St. Quentin. bnemy resistance was most active in the sec tor between Arras and Ytres, the lat ter place being defended by a series of strong points. "There are many stories of disaf fection in the ranks of the Germans. It is known that they are finding dif ficulty in maintaining their food sup plies during the retreat and that some of the later prisoners had not eaten anything for some time. Posts Easily Reduced. "Between Ytres and Croisilles, a distance of some ten miles, the re treating Germans are holding a series of machine gun posts, but we are get ting up our field guns in excellent style and- pot much difficulty is an ticipated in reducing these. In fact, there already is a pretty deep bulge eastward in the. enemy's line at this part, reaching to Beaumetz-Les-Cam- brat, which considerable village was occupied by our troops yesterday. This carries our advance to a point some four miles north of Ytres. . The vermans tn many cases are carrying away young women to guard against their employment by the French on munitions." French Take Nine Villages. Paris, March 22. The Germans made energetic resistance to the trench last night between the bomme and the Aisne, but after spirited righting north ot iergmer the French forced them out of several strong positions. The French occu pied a number of villages. I he villages are situated to the north of Soissons. They were carried in the face of determined resistance by the Germans. The total amount of r rench terri tory liberated from the German in vaders by the Somme offensive up to March 21 is 853 square miles situ ated in the four departments Pas De Calais, Uise, Aisne and bomme. it includes 366 towns and villages, the home . of 181,935 Frenchmen. The Germans are still in possession of 7,126 square miles of France. Germans Near Arras Line. The German retreat to the Arras- St. Quentin-Lafcre line is practically complete. The French are within ar tillery range of at. Uuentin and La- fere. The movement has been car ried out by echelons, according to approved principles, one section hold ing firm, while the next tell back. The allied operations are now coih cerned with driving in the last of these sections, which are still resist ing. They are situated, respectively, south of Arras, southeast and cast of Peronne, cast of Ham and the valley of the Ailette and nortli of Soissons. Just in the middle of the line, east of Peronne and between the plain of Cambrai to the north and the plain of the Somme to the south, is one of the few positions of defensive value running to the east of Roisel and Vcrmand. The Germans showed signs of intending to cling to this, salient, but it is now, too, gone, the British being, close to both Roisel and Ver niaml. Another strong section which is still holding out occupied a for midable defensive position formed by the fore.t of Coucy, but, from the signs of destruction in the rear of the defenders, apparently resistance is only being made to secure the re treat to the principal line at St. Go bain. Britbh Line Advanced. As the'result of Wednesday's oper ations the British line is now level with the French, which runs along the Crozat canal from St. Simon to Tergnier. At the latter point the French positions arc less than two and a half miles from Lafere. Part of the road from Ourscamp to Noyon, which was paved with gran ite setts, had been unpaved by the Germans, but in less than a day the French engineer corps had repaired the road, rebuilt bridges and put the railroad in working order as far as Ourscamp. The military commissariat has sent 200 bullocks to Noyon and distribu ted 10,000 bread rations. Before leaving the Germans made a clean sweep of the Noyon banks, sending to Germany securities valued at 18, OOU.gOO franc AMERICAN SHIP HEALDTON SUNK DV A CIIDIIADII u i ft ouumtti1' . . . y Amsterdam itepo Jiaon Newspaper fndard Oil Tank ji Tor pedoed hVu-Boat.

It has been understood that he 'would be permitted to live in re tirement at that place, tar removed from the capital and the scenes of military operations. , Accounts of his last hours as ruler of Russia deoicted him as resigned to his fate nd determined not to stand against the wishes of the people. Nothing has been heard, however, in regard to the attitude of the former empress, a German, whose powerful influence at the Russian court is said to have been exerted against all democratic tendencies.

Morsman Head Of the Fine Arts Society Mysterious "Miss Snyder" caused a brief sensation at the meeting of the Omaha Society of Fine Arts, which was held at the Fontenelle Thurs day. The report of the nominating committee had been presented and the president had called for further nominations. "Miss Snyder," came the call from the back of the room. With a start the members turned to see that at the psychological moment a page had thrust his head in at the door, calling for Miss Snyder. Mrs. Edgar M. Morsman, Jr., was unanimously elected president; Mrs. J. E. Summers, first vice president; Mrs. Palmer Findley, second vice president; Mrs. Duncan M. Vinson haler, secretary; Mrs. V. J.

("Via Lon don, March 22.) The Russkia Volia in a long unsigned article, exposes what it terms the treason of the, court clique and alleges that Tsarskoe Selp was a "nest of German spies." The paper says that a special committee has been appointed to investigate the 'crimes of former ministers during the last bacchanalian nightmare years of the dynasty, on which Rasputin put the final touches. i he article says in part: "The first crime was treason, aftd espionage had its nest in the palace. The court was partly and chiefly Ger man, and the pitiful role of Sturmer in his efforts to drag Russia toward a separate peace was known every where. The press of our allies accused Russia of giving Germany Russian military secrets. "Alexei Khvostoff, who was dis mised as minister of the interior be cause he aimed to divorce Nicholas and Alexandra and kill Kasputin, de clared to friends that he had docu ments showing the connection be tween the court and Berlin, and that Rasputin was surrounded by German spies, who were sending out military secrets, easily learned from the drunken monk. Khvostoff, himself one of the band of dark forces; did nothing to hinder the treason at Tsarskoe Selo. 'We know from the letter of Gen eral Guchkoff, minister of war, to General Alexieff, that Sturmer and Belaieff refused Englands offer to give half a million rifles to the Rus sian arinv. Similar facts have been collected by the defense committee of the imperial Duma. We know the consequence of General Soukhomli noff's doings when he was only gov ernor of Kiev and when he surrounded himself with spies. His nearest friend was commander of the Austrian sov organization. Our military secret service knew, but could do nothing. The result of his treason was a Rus sian defeat, costing millions of lives. What arc we to do now? Allow Nich olas to live in beautiful Livadia. among the flowers he was so fond of and among the conditions of freedom he always denied to others? Allow him to do this, so that he may or ganize other dark forces for the re establishment of the Romanoffs?" Wilson Suspends Eight-Hour Law On Navy Contracts Washington, March 22. The eight hour regulation applying to labor on Navy department contracts in private plants was suspended today by Pres ident Wilson under the authority giv en him at the last sessioi of congress to take such .ctio.i in an emergency. Burlington Agent Says Settlers Are Pushing to the West "Since the long-awaited 640-ac,re homestead law became effective," says S. B. Howard, immigration agent of the Burlington railroad at Omaha, "there has been a marked increase in the number of desirable homestead ers who are moving from Illinois, Iowa and Missouri into western 4'e braska, eastern Colorado and Wyo ming and 'taking up' the most desir able of the lands still available. Ever since January 1 an average of twenty five settlers daily have tiled on new lands through the general land office ot Douglas, Wyo., alone." And So It Goes BILL FOR PUBLICITY; NO CASH FOR EXPENSE Measure Passes House and May Yet Be Changed as Desired. COMPENSATION MEASURE j.f From a luff Corraspondant.) Lincoln, March 22. (Special.)AU who want a job with no- salary at tached, please hold up their hands, or, as Jjepreseptative Sarin Fries would say, "All in favor of tht motion, irise to your feet and stand on 'em." The state publicity bill was reported to third reading in the house this morn ing, but the appropriation formerly attached which was stricken out by the committee of the whole still stands stricken and the bill is minus the needful to make it worth the while. However, i it is believed that the finance committee1 may yet devise some way to make the job just a little might attractive. Compensation Bill. The substitute bill amending the workmen's compensation law, which has been pending in both branches of the legislature, passed the house by a vote of ?5 to 9. It is known as House Roll No. 525. Under its provisions in jured employes cannot elect to sue after injury unless employer has vio lated safety appliance laws. Weekly compensation minimum and maximum is raised from $5 to $6 a week and from $6 to $12. Benefits are to be 75 per cent of wages, subject to maximum and mini mum. Loss of fingers, toes, ears and nose entitle victim to compensation. Employment Agency License!. Another bill affecting labor whoch was passed is H. R. 469, to license and regulate employment agencies. It imposes a license fee of $60 per year on those doing business in Lincoln and Omaha, and $25 a year elsewhere. The bill re-enacts a large part of the 1915 statute which the supreme court held to be unconstitutional. Irrigation Bills. The house passed t'.t-following ir rigating district measures: Authorizing suits to determine va lidity of irrigation contracts and levies; payment and refunding of ir rigation bonds; withholding water for non-payment of assessments; con veyance of property by districts; bor rowing money to pay on district contracts with the icdcral govcrn mnt; purchase f land at tax sale by drainage and irrigation districts.

Other bills passed were: Im-rsasing fir commission's sphero of ac tivity. Governor to appoint United States sena tor In cane of vacancy. Authorising reciprocal Inter-lnauranco agroeuienls. McAllister Champions Bill To Publish County Tax List Lincoln. March 22. (Specials Senator McAllister of Ncligh was eas ily the head-liner in the senate today and the large crowd which had gath ered to hear a discussion of the prohi bition bill heard the Antelope county statesman deliver two speeches. Hie bill under consideration was one compelling the publication in newspapers of the tax list in each county. Senator McAllister favored it on the ground that it would compel tax dodgers to do their share. The bill was sent to third reading by a vote of 23 to 11.

BLUFFS YARDS TO BE MOVEDTO OMAHA Northwestern Hat Fifty Aores of Land Near Roundhouse for Passenger Coaoh Use. MEANS IMPORTANT CHANGE The passenger coach yards of the Northwesternwill be miveU -.lrom Council Bluffs to Omaha, according to an announcement made yesterday at local hcadqiiarterk,; The change will mean' the moving of large num bers of families and single trainmen and'-ehginemen to this side of the river, according to railroad men:' , The new yards in Omaha are to be located southeast of the present roundhouse between Forty-first and Forty-second streets and Vvest C and West D streets. This tract, which comprises fifty acres, has either been purchased outright or is secured by options. Plans have already, been drawn also for a huge trainmen's ho tel in the yards district. Present System Awkward. At present with the passenger coach yards in the Bluffs Northwest ern trains are made up there and brought across the river to the Union depot. When the new Omaha yarda are opened all Northwestern passen ger trains a,re to be made up here. It IB not Known wnciliri new engine shops will be built in Omaha, in view of the fact that the Northwestern re cently acquired additional land in Council Bluffs. General -Manager Walters made no statement concern ing the company's plans in connec tion with the moving of the yards to Omaha. . There is some trackage at the pres ent time on the site of the new yards. The Northwestern has owned a large tract of land east of the roundhouse for some time. The Union Pacific lias been asked to join in the move ment for the closing of the streets in the new yards district. The over land system owns considerable prop erty north of the site of the new yards. Chairman Lovett SaysXJar Shortage Is Only Apparent Washington, March 22. Unusual shipping conditions, caused chiefly by the F.uropean war, arc mainly re sponsible for the unfounded belief that a freight car shortage exists in this country, R, S. Lovclt, chairman of the Union Pacific's executive board, testified today before the New lands investigating committee, "If shipping were normal and there was not abuse of the use of cars by consigners, I don't think there would be a serious shortage." he said. Senator Cummins, a member of the committee, declared in the course of Mr. Lovett's examination that he be lieved the strong railroads should take over the weak it order that all might make a profit. Mr. Lovett said this plan scarcely could be carried out without government ownership or the repeal of the anti-trust laws. Senate Favors Measure For State Hail Insurance (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln. March 22. (Special Tele gram.) A bill providing insurance of farm crops against hail, dividing the state into three zones, was 'sent to third reading in the house this after noon.

U.S.T0 REJECT NEUTRAL OFFER FOR MEDIATION Kaiser Back of Plan to Create a Division of Sentiment in the American Congress. . WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED Proposition Cannot Bo Dis cussed Till Alter Subsea . Campaign is Abandoned. ARMY AND NAVY ARB BUSY Washington, March 22. Offers of mediation to prevent actual war be tween the United States and Ger many are expected among the next developments Administration officials heard to-; day that a European neutral was contemplating such a plan, and they frankly regarded it as another ef fort, backed by Germany, to 'divide sentiment in congress anl embarrass the president. It was declared authoritatively to-, day that no proposals of mediation or for discussion will be considered unless Germany first abandons the campaign of rtithlesgness. All administratiori officials, from the president down, take the position that the United States never has and does not now desire war with Ger many, but is being forced into it to protect iives and rights of its citizens against unlawful aggression. i ITnlfss rirrmanv is nreoai-ea to completely change its position, it was declared today,, offers of mediation and discussion are useless. Germany, it was recalled, never accepted former Secretary Bryan's proposal to sign nnr of his "nrace investiffation" treaties, which would have bound the United States to inaction for a year, while a commission investigated the situation. Meanwhile every preparation for any eventuality is being carried for ward by the army and navy, and the president is awaiting the assembling of congress. Unless there is some great change in the situation before April 2, it is' expected he will detail in his address how Germany has in fact been mak ing war against the United States by the ruthless operation of its U boats and leava it- to congress to declare a and men to. protect the interests of the United States. " Plan to Aid Entente.' ! Plans, for, rendering financial assist anc to the. entente allies in case pf war .'between the United States and Germany are under consideration in formally by tile federal reserve board and other government officials. Two courses are said to have been presented one, the placing of gen eral credits to entente government in this -country by individual banks to a greater extent than heretofore; tht other, official action by the United States government in placing a large sum at the disposal of the entente. Should the latter course be adopted It is thought possible the government would raise the sum desired by a bond issue to be designated for that pur pose, the proceeds to be loaned as needed to France, Great Britain and probably other entente governments-' Plans are said to be still in a forma-! Mive stage and may not be definitely snaped until after congress convenes April 2. ,. Grand Duke Nicholas Says Old Regime Won't Return London, March 22. A 'dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Copenhagen, gives the follow-, ing statement made by Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian forces in the Cacausus, to the correspondents at his headquar ters in Tiflis, Transcaucasia: "A return to the old regime is hn possible and I would never consent to such a retrograde step. I took forward to ultimate victory In the war, but a necessary condition in the interval is internal peace. I am sure the government will be able to pre vent anarchy, but only with the sup port of the people." Discovers How Infantile Paralysis is Spread Rutland, Vt March 22. Announce ment that Dr. Edward Taylor, profes sor of tropical medicine at the Uni versity of Vermont, had made an important discovery as to- the man ner in which infantile paralysis is spread, was made today by Dr. Charles S. Caverly, president of the state board of health. "Dr. Taylor has apparently shown," Dr. Caverly said, "that diseased noses and throats allow the passage of the virus into the central nervous system, while normal noses and throats seem to neutralize this poison. The simple process of, cleansing the nose and throat with warm water in which table salt has been dissolved is perhaps as good a preventative as we have."
