The motion will come to a vote tomorrow. Prohibition leaders expect to reach a finai vote on the amendment within a few days unless more pressing legislation displaces the agricultural measure. The point of order was raised by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, who claimed that the amendment which prohibits the sale, except for export, of In- toxicatfhg liquors after Jan.

1 next, and the manufacture of and wines after Nov. 1, Is general legislation, attached to an appropriation in violation of the Senate rules. Although the chair's decision was over- by a narrow margin, 36 to 33, prohibition leaders declared that their full strength was not marshalled against the ruling, since many Senators who favor prohibition voted to sustain the chair, and that the amendment wiil be adopted by an overwhelming majority. The vote on the question of sustaining the chair on the point of order follows: To Sustain the Decision Gore, Hitchcock, Jones of New Mexico, King, Lewis, Martin, Phelan, Pomerene, Ransdell, Reed, Simmons, of Arizona, Smith rf Georgia, Smith of Maryland, Swanson, Underwood and Wolcott.

Total, 15. Total against, 36. Practically the entire day was spent In parliamentary diacusslon. Senator Penrose in calling up hla point of order Insisted that the amendment is legislation, and irttould be stricken out under the Senate rules prohibiting attaching such legislation to appropriation bills. He was supported In this argument by Senators Phelan of Calv- fornia; Simmons of North Carolina; Smith of Georgia and others, w'hUe Senators Jones of Washington and Sheppard of Texas, vigorously opposed it, arguing that the food production bill Is a special appropriation meaaure and that consequently the rule did not apply to it.

While the argument was In progres.s. Senator Saulabury interrupted to say that further discussion was unncwses- sary as he had made a decision, and he then announced the ruling. BOSTON FORBIDDEN TO USE COAL FOR HEATING Continued From FIrat Page The order was received yesterday with little approval. People were quick to state that November Is generally a cold month and that a strict enforcement of the order would cause actual suffering and likely lead to much illness. They generally expressed the opinion that with last experience to be guided by, such a drasi.ic shortage of coal as is forecasted by the order will he due to inefficiency.

Bostonians feel that they are being discriminated against. The order, which was given out for publication through David A. Ellis, chairman of the federal fuel committee, follow's; coal situation Is so threatening that the federal fuel committee of Boston feels, after a conference with James J. Storrow, New England fuel administrator, that If ought to l.ssue, and hereby does issue, an order forbidding the use of coal for general heating purposes 'untll otherwise ordered. Is, not unlikely that this order m.ny have to be kept in force until Dec.

1 next, and it behooves householders. therefore, and others who feel it necessary to have fires before that date, to take steps promptly to meet this possible situation. best way is to buy wood immediately, Not to delay such purchase until next month or until next fall, but to do it right now. so that if coal exigencies require the continuance of this order and the forbidding of any use of coal for general heating purposes until a still fater date, those who desire or require to have their furnaces started before that date may not suffer grievously In Italians MaKe Further Advances in Albania Contfaned From First Page GRAND TRUNK LINES APPOINTMENTS MADE PORTLAND, July for the Grand Trunk lines in New England, made by the new general manager, L.

There have been indications recently an offensive might be begun In Macedonia, if for no other reason than to draw Austrian, and possibly German, troops from Italy and France. It reported that the Bulgarians are war- weary and that a powerful blow along the front north of Salonlki might bring about notable military and political re- The Teutonic allfes in Macedonia have been attacking the entente lines, but have been driven back. French troops continue their offensive east of the Retz forest, along the line from the Marne to the The fighting has gradually extended southward along the front southwest of Soissons, with the French repeating their operation of pushing the enemy back from strong positions from which he might easily reach vital grcund along the French line of defence. Along the British front there have been intermittent artillery duels, deepening here and there jnto bombardments of great intensity. This has been the case east of Amiens, where the mans have drenched Australian positions with shells and then attacked in an attempt to regain territory lost when the Australians and Americans attacked on July 4.

The enemy has been repulsed wdth losses. Near Merris the British have improved their positions in a minor action. There have been no events of an ftn- usual character along the American- held sectors of the line, except at Chateau Thierry, where American aviators have been active. In the mountain sectors of the Italian front the have been pushed back slightly in the Brenta valley and on the'Aslago plateau.
