Auto Route for Liquors Held Legal.

Denver-A Denver man may drive
his automobile to Cheyenne, buy as
many cases of liquor as his car will
hold and return with them to Denver

Federal authorities. That, in sub

District Court in the case of Simon
Spiegelman and Joseph A. Miller of
Cheyenne, who, with Everett L., Simp-
son of Denver, we're charged with con-

he had no solution to offer. He was ready
to return the lines to private control when

to prevent a return to the old systems I'M

Recommendation included renewed ap-
peal for woman suffrage in recognition OF

early and favorable action on the unratified
Columbian treaty. and a suggestion that
authority should be given the War Trade
Board or some other body to continue con-
troll for time over exports.
There was no debate in either House on
the Presidents trip to France The only
reference to it in the House was made by
Representative Mann, of Illinois, Republi-
can leader, after the President had de-
livered his annual address at the joint
session in the House chamber.
II am not Directing to the President 60

able to inform Congress what course is to
be pursued when matters come before US
Is there any way by which we may make
into law anything put through Congress

There was no reply to the question, and
after the unimportant bill then under discus

After addressing Congress the President

History Of the Ukraine.

For more than a century nationalist agi-
:ations have profoundly troubled European
peoples. A good many nations have sue
..essfully effected political changes within
their borders, either by separation, ag-
ylomeration. or emancipation. During the
great war, however, another noticeable
method has been the pursuit Of autonomy
within the framework of larger state.

prompt recognition, by Petrograd, as a re-
public. In q night, as it were, another
nation has 1eaped into existence, nation

It's forced political submergence in the
newer appellation of Little Russia" Yet
It's territory was once as distinct and as
extensive as Poland before the division.
indeed, sections of eastern Poland, such
as the present Volhynia and Galfcia, were
once an integral part of the Ukraine. The
world heard the cry Of Poland, but the
Gkranian cause remained one of the many
tragedies of race which seem doomed to
go unrecognized, although the Ukranians,
who number about 30,000,000, and who are
