GERMAN PEACE
DISASTROUS
Lloyd George Says War
Must Continue Until
Aims are Achieved

Glasgow, June 2S.--In discussing
the question of peace, Premier Lloyd
George said IL the war should be con-
cluded a single hour before the allied
powers reached the end they set out
to attain at the beginning Of the war
it would be the greatest disaster that
ever befeIl mankind.
I'm my Judgment" he said, "this
war will end when the allied powers
have reached the end they set out to
attain when they accepted the chal-
lenge thrown down by Germany. Then
this war ought to come to an end but
If it comes to an end a single hour
before 1t will be the greatest disaster
that ever befell mankind.
Il hear people say that Germany is
ready to give us a satisfactory peace.
No doubt you can have peace at a.
certain price for no doubt Germany
wants peace. But 1t is a peace which
would give her economic and other
control over the country which she
has invaded"
Russia will regain her strength
with a. bound and become mightier
and more formidable than ever" Mr..
Lloyd George continued Although
these distractions had the effect of
postponing complete victory they
and more formidable than ever"
more complete than ever and what is
more important they made surer than
ever the quality of victory"

Will Not be Kept at Home
Armories After Joining
Federal Service
EXACT DATE NOT
YET DETERMINED
Entire National Guard May
be Drafted at Once on
August 5
fspeciaI to The Forum }

Washington. June 29.-National
guard regiments will be sent forward
to their divisional mobilization camps
in the south Immediately after they
have been drafted into the federal
service.
Heretofore it was expected that be-
cause OF lack of tents IL might be
necessary to keep many regiments at
their home armories or state mobili-
zation points for an indefinite period.
The exact date of the application of
the draft to the guard Is still dis
cussed. Present orders are that those
in the eastern section Of the country
be drafted July Is; the central July
25; and the western Aug. 5. It has
been pointed out that inequalities in
the relative rank among National
guard officers would result from this
three increment plan and the war
department is debating the advisabi-
lity of postponing the application of
the draft to Aug. 5 and covering the
entire guard at that time in one
operation

JUDGE LEIGHTON
FREES PALDA OF
CRIMINAL CHARGE
Minot Attorney Wins in
Habeas Corpus Proceed
lngs
HOLDS SEIZURE OF
PLANT LAW VIOLATION
District Court Rules That
Display of Force Was
Permissible

Minot, N. D., June 29.-(Special)-
Charges Of assault with a dangerous
weapon with intent to kill, made
against Attorney L J. Palda, are de-
clared unfounded by Judge K. e.
Leighton of the district court, in his
decision in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by Mr.. Palda.
The decision, announced today, dis
misses the charge and frees the de-
fendant of further liability Hereunder.
The charges against Mr.. Palda grew
out Of the seizure by Attorney Gem
eral VIM. LANCER and his deputies
of the operating department of the
Northern States Power companys
telephone Office on the night of the
recent vice raids. At that time, Mr..
Ralda was accused of drawing a re-
Volver and threatening the deputy
sheriffs, F. c. Upton and his brother.
PaIda Within Rights.
( Judge Leighton holds that Attorney
Palda, as counsel for the Northern
States Power company, was acting
within his authority in seeking the
removal of the Upton brothers from
the telephone Office, holding that they,
the Uptons, were trespassers, being
without legal rights in the premises.
That the seizure of the telephone Of
fee was no more justified than would

private dwelling. is Judge Leighton's
holding.
Il Felony Committed.
Judge Leighton further holds. that
under Section 10231, Revised Codes,
the holding up of the delivery OF tele-
phone messages is a felony, and he
says further: 1T is apparent from the
testimony that these parties who
went there and took possession of
such telephones without any author
ity, were engaged in the commission
of a felony; and any one has the right
to use force to prevent any one from
committing a felony in their presence;
so that on two grounds, the telephone
company had the right to use force,
and the only restriction is that which
is given by the statute; that is, that
no more force shall be used than is
necessary"
Judge Leighton holds the testimony
fails to show that more force than
necessary was displayed; that it is
immaterial whether Mr.. Palda or Mr..
Upton was the first to draw gun,
1t appearing from the testimony that
both had displayed firearms.

FEARS FOOD
BILL Will Be
ENDANGERED
Would Accept Clause For
bidding Manufacture of
Beverage Alcohol
MAY PERMIT SALE OF
BEER AND LIGHT WINE
Burleson Urging This Mid
die Course on the SEN
ate Leaders
fRv Associated Press.l }

Washington, June ga determin-
ed effort to modify the food bill now
before the senate so that it will be
free from any prohibition provisions
or at least so as to grant the Presi-
dent authority to permit the use OF
foodstuffs in the manufacture Of beer
and light wines, was begun today by
the administration when President
Wilson conferred on the question with
Senator Martin, the majority leader
President Wilson, according to Sem
ator Phelan of California, with whom
he also conferred regarding prohibition
legislation, desired that he have au-
thority to stop the manufacture of
malt and vinous liquors in case of
emergency but does not believe i'm
mediate prohibition of their manufac-
ture is necessary or desirable.
Food Control First.
The president was understood to
feel that the insistence of some sem
ators on bone dry legislation endanger-
ed the early passage of the food bill
which he is anxious to see become law
as soon as possible.
Administration leaders were said
also to feel that such legislation would
be a disturbing factor in the economic
life Of the country and might lead to
serious discomfort among the workers
whose Whole-hearted support is nee
essary to win the war.
The president realizes that since
prohibition has been made an issue in
congress 1t Is almost impossible to
hope for the elimination OF all pro-
hibitory provisions from the food bill.
It was understood that the president
would be, willing to accept a measure
under which the use of foodstuffs and
fruits in the manufacture of alcoholic
beverages was forbidden, but with au-
thority given him to permit their use
in making beer and light wine.
POSTMASTER General Burleson who
often represents the president in con-
ferring with congressman went to the
capital today and urged several sem
ators to modify the bill to permit man
ufacture OF beer and wines. The post
master general was said to have told
senators the president does not desire
to disturb or divide public sentiment
during the war by cutting Oft con-
sumption Of light beverages, and that
such action is unnecessary as it would
conserve only small supplies.
Some of the senate leaders later ex-
pressed increased confidence that the
prohibition sections would be modified
so as to permit beer and wine manu-
facture to continue and that prohibit
ton of distilled spirits would be adopt
ed.
After returning to the capitol from
the White House Senator Gerry, who
favors brewing and wine making and
stopping distilling, said he believed
the president would exercise sound
judgment" on the whole prohibition
issue
