or MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL leased ~,as,


Washington, Feb. 20.--The senate
measure forbidding shipment of liq-
uor into prohibition states, even where
state laws authorize such shipments
tor personal use, will come to a vote
in the house tomorrow with both wet
and dry advocates divided among
themselves as to the eXpediency of its
passage. Those favoring the provis-
ion, which was written in the an
nual postal appropriation bill by the
senate, declare it will pass with votes
to spare Some prohibition advocates
will not support it, however, because
would react seriously against the pro-
hibition movement. For the same
reason, some representatives who
have lined up heretofore against pro-
hbition, are expected to vote in favor
of the senate proposal.
How extensive these defections will
be, or whether they will upset the
normal prohibition majority in the
house, was not apparent tonight.
In addition TO making bone dry

forbid the manufacture or sale of LID
uor but permit its importation for per-
sonal use, the senate amendment
would bar liquor advertisements from

tising is prohibited.

prospects for the success of the Pope'S
peace movement have greatly improved
and that peace is in sight this year, ap
parently mark the resumption of the

rumors undoubtedly owe their genesis
to reports during his recent visit to
Stuttgart that Chancellor Mchaelis,
addressing crowds at the railway sta
tion. expressed his hope of peace this
year.
The German public is eagerly tapping
up this peace optimism, which gains
opinion is convinced that no man in
the chancellors position would utter
such statement unless he had some
real reasons for believing it. The Ger
man press and public are echoing in
spring reports about the Civil War in
Russia" which carry hopes of sepa-
rate peace with that nation. The Ger
man military comment which reaches
Scandinavia indicates that the German
offensive in northern Russia has ac-
tually been called off lest it have the
effect of consolidating the quarreling
Russian factions.
