cured. In Circuit Division only
twelve men qualifled, while thirteen
were accepted in Criminal Division 2.

PROHIBITION EFFECTIVE
ON JULY /, 1919
Practical Agreement ON Measure in the
United States Senate by Friendly
and Opposing Factions

Washington, D. O., Aug 27.-The pro
hibition bill was temporarily sidetracked
yesterday in the Senate in favor of the
manpower legislation, and also to give
time for the negotiations between the
opposing factions.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, manager
OF the prohibition bill, stated. following
recent conference at the White House,
that the president did not object to ac
ton by Congress on the legislation, but
discussed extending the effective date of
the restrictions.
Additional time, the president was said
to feel, should be given many interests
involved in the liquor Business to close
up their affairs, including banks holding
bonded warehouse certificates. July /,
1919, was the new date suggested.
That time also should be afforded for
social adjustment was said to have been
suggested by the president.
The new date, it was said. would not
interfere with government revenue col
leetions on liquor for the fiscal year,
and thus avoid redrafting the war reve.
nue. bill, which is based on estimated
returns of about $900000000 from intox-
icants.
According to Senator Sheppard, the
bills opponents eoncede its passage, and
the only question at issue now is the
time when it win become effective.
Later yesterday, after much cloak
room negotiation, leaders said the pro-
hibition supporters had agreed to fix
July !, 1912 instead Of Jan. Of next
year, as the date when prohibition would
become effective. Although some of the
bills opponents were demanding a longer
extension, representatives OF both fac
lions said it appeared probable that, July
/ finally would be agreed to.

Germans Strip Run,ania
OF Food and Livestock

PARIS. July Cdr. Breckenridge
Baine, of Washington, has arrived at
Berne from Bucharest. where, for sew
eral years, he had charge of Ru-
manian hospital. He declares that Ger
many is taking all food supplies from
that country for home consumption
For example. he adds. the Germans
have left only one cow on every tenth
farm. Future crops already have been
bought up.
The petroleum wells, which were
partly destroyed by the British, says
DR.. Baine, have been repaired and are
now in full operation. Everything Is
going to Germany, nothing to her al
lies.
These statements are confirmed by
distinguished Rumanian representa-
tivcs who have arrived at Lucerne from
Bucharest. Emile Petresco, Mayor of
Bucharest, said that he was personally
ruined. but had the greatest confidence
in the victory of the Allies.
Take Jonescu, a former Cabinet min
lister, said that no sensible man would
accept the German peace forced upon
Rumania, as the Rumanians have the
greatest confidence in President Will
son and the greatness of the American
effort.
NJ. Jonescu, after he visits Paris and
London, will proceed to Washington,
where he will lay before the President
the serious Rumanian situation.
