the second line extending between
Veles, Ishtip and Prilep.
The enemy is fighting hard to
obtain possession of this road and
also in the sector west of Prilep.
and it seems to be a race for Us

near to the city as the Bulgarians.
The allies are now in possession
on the whole course of the Vardar
rivar from Gievgeli to Gradsko.
Tonight's reports say that the
Serbians have taken 30 guns in
addition to those; already report

appeals from federal court decisions
nullifying in part the Reed amend

prohibition, the court was asked to
expedite consideration of the case.
"In one ease, the lower court held
that the act does not prohibit trans

In the other proceedings, appealed
from West Virginia, the court held
that while the liquor was "transport
