sequent1y would be a direct burden upon such commerce.
 s.2-Considering the Webb-Kenyon act, the court holds that there is no foundation for the contention that the act only applies to shipments from one state into another for use prohibited by the state to which the liquor is shipped. On the contrary, it is de- cided that the Webb-Kenyon act, to use the words of the act, applies to shipments of liquor intended to be received, possessed, sold or in any manner used in violation of the laws of the state. As this conclusion causes every prohibition of the West Virginia law to be embraced and come under the right conferred by congress by the Webb Kenyon act, it is decided that the West Virginia act was not in conflict with the commerce clause of the constitution and the power of con- greSs to regulate commerce if congress had power to enact the Webb-Kenyon law.
 "3-Disposing of that question, it is decided that congress had the power under the constitution to adopt the Webb Kenyon law, whether considered from the point of view of original req soning or in the light of previous leg islaticn by congress, and the decisions of the court holding that legisla tion valid. It is, therefore. decided that by virtue of the Webb-Kenyon law there is no power to ship intoxicants from one state into another in violation of the prohibitions of the law of the state into which the liquor is shipped. In other words. it is decided that since the enactment of the Webb-Kenyon law the channels of interstate com merce may not be used to convey liquor into a state against the prohi- bitions of it's laws or to use interstate commerce as the basis for a right to receive, possess, sell or in any manner use liquor contrary to the state proi1i- bition."
 It was announced that Justice Mo- Reynolds concurred in the decision but not completely in the opinion.
 Justices Holmes and Vandevanter were the two dissenting justices.
 'The all-reaching power of govern ment over liquor is settled,'' said the chief justice in announcing the de- cision. There was no intention of congress to forbid individual use of liquor. The purpose of this act was to cut out by the roots the practice of permitting violation of state liquor laws. We can have no doubt that congress has complete authority to prevent para1yzing of state authority Congress exerted a power to co-ordi- nate the national with the state au- thority."

French Premier Says Ali Representa-

Paris, Jan. 8. AS D. m.-AIthougE no communication has been made pub lie regarding the conference of the all lies, says a despatch to the Temps private conversations with some of the principal figures in the conference leave no doubt that the result is fully satisfactory and that the representa- tives of the entente powers separate in full accord and full confidence. The French premior, M. Briand said to- day to the Temps correspondents:
 Our visit has been most fruitful and was timely. Many difficulties of detail had arisen since the last confer ence of the allies. and in all directions the attempt was made to becIoud the entente and the relations between the allies without mentioning public events that are known to everyone It was necessary to dissipate the fogs and overcome the difficulties and find a common solution to accord with tEe present and future events. All that was undertaken in a spirit of accord and good faith and we have eliminated all tine little difhculties that could hinder our united efforts''

Washington, Jan. s.-In the most sweeping of all decisions upholding prohibition laws, the supreme court today upheld as constitutional and valid the Webb-Kenyon law prohibit ing shipments of liquor from wet" west Virginia's recent amendment to her law prohibiting importation in in- terstate commerce of liquor for per- sonal use.

 Chief Justice White announced the majority opinion, to which Justices Holmes and Vandevanter dissented. Justice McReynolds, while agreeing with the majority decision, did not concur in the opinion. An official df- gest of the majority opinion, prepared by the court. sets out its holdings as follows:
 In an official abstract of the courts decision 1t was stated that the court holds:
 .1-That the West Virginia law, be- side prohibiting the manufacture and sale of all intoxicants except as to that which is permitted for medical, sacramental and manufacturing pur- poses, also forbids all transportation of liquor and all receipt and possession fliquor transported in the state, whether originating in or outside of the state and although it does not pro- hibit personal use, puts serious re- strictions upon the power to obtain for such use.
 "The court holds that in view of the we'll established authority of the state over intoXicants there is no reason to think that this law was in any wise repugnant to the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment to the con stitution of the United States. It, however, decided that unless the state authority has an exceptional applica- ton to shipments of interstate com merce as the result of the act of con gress known as the Webb Kenyon law the provisions of the state law re- stricting shipments of intoxicants into the state from other states would be unconstitutional because interfering with the power of congress to regulate commerce among the states and con-
