the House of Representatives, d
vote of 2S2 to 1913, passed the Shop

the states an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution outlawing the man.

mented liquors in the United States.
The Senate passed somewhat sim
liar resolution last summer by vote
Of IS to 20. The Presidents approval
Is not required, and the state Legis-
latures may act as soon as they please
after the signatures of the Vice-Presi-
dent and Speaker Clark have been
attached to the resolution. An amend
ment exempting beer and light wines
was voted down.
The action of the House brings the
United States to the threshold of ma.
tional prohibition. The temperance
forces in America have been fighting
for the last 80 years to have Congress
submit to the states a nationwide
prohibition amendment 1t has only
been in recent years that they have
been able to get either branch of Con-
gress to take vote on the question.
Their victory marks the greatest
stride ever made by the prohibition
forces in America.
The House and Senate resolutions
are somewhat different in text and
they must go to conference. The House
resolution provides that the states of
the Union must ratify the amendment
In seven years against 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 proide 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
day of debate before crowded gal
leries, was zS2 to 1923. 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 26 more than
| two-thirds of those voting.
Both vets and drys had been pre-
dieting victory all day, and it was not
until the last few names had been
| called that the anti-prohibition forces
conceded their defeat When Speaker
Clark announced the result the victors
were joined by the galleries in such
demonstration as is rarely permitted

A special agreement viii be made
by the naval general Staff regarding
the extension of the a rmisticc to the
White Sea and the Russian coast in
the Arctic zone. 1t is agreed also
that attacks on war and commercial
vessels must stop in these regions in
order to avoid attacks in other seas.
The agreement says:
1.-THE armistice shall begin on De-
cember December ~ at o'clock
in the afternoon and continue until
January 1 January 14). The con-
tracing parties have the right to
break the armistice by giving seven
days notice. Unless notice is given
the armistice automatically continues.
"The armistice embraces the land
and aerial forces on the front from
the Baltic to the Black Sea and also
the Russo-TUrkish front in Asia
Minor. During the ar mistice the par
ties concerned obligate themselves
not to increase the number of troops
on the above front or on the above
fronts or on the islands in Noon
Sound or to make regrOuping of
forces.
Neither side is to. make operative
any transfers of units from the Baltic
Black Sea front until January 1 Jan
uary 14), excepting those begun be-
fore the agreement is signed. They
obligate themselves not to concen-
trate troops on parts of the Black
Sea or Baltic Sea east Of Is degrees
or longitude east of Greenwich.
1.-The question of release of troops
! freed from service who are beyond the
line Of demarcation will be solved dur
ing the peace negotiations. This ap~
plies also to Polish troops.
Immediately after the signing of
the armistice peace negotiations are
to be begun. 1t is provided that meas
ures shall be taken for the exchange
of civil prisoners, invalids, women and
children under fourteen years and for
the amelioration of the condition of
war prisoners. The treaty concludes
with these words:
with the purpose of facilitating
the conduct of peach negotiations and

caused by the war, the contracting
parties take measures for re-establish-

the committee learned in the first few
days work has been made public to
show that the complaints and the In
souiry are warranted. The brunt falls
on the ordnance and quartermaster
generals bureaus, though the chiefs ~
these bureaus are not considered per-
sonally to blame. The senators want
to learn the real causes Of the delay IN
supplying arms, artillery and all other
munitions to the nations fightins
forces-a delay that is admitted and
that is usually laid to the old red tape
methods Of the war department. Con-
gress furnished plenty Of money, and
the question is why was it not expend-
ed quickly and wisely? General Perish
ing's troops, it appears, have had to
rely on the British and French for ar
tillery and other supplies, and the men
in the American training camps have
been very inadequately furnished with
rifles, warm clothing and other neces-
stiles. These are only few OF the
complaints the committee is investi.
