CAN SEIZE LIQUOR IN ALASKA--COuRT
 MAKES A DECISION

There is absolutely loop hole in the present proh bon law in Alaska. Liquor anywhere be seized and the parties owning secreng the same be fined imprisoned There has been great deal of talk about deprvng any person of fc personal liberty or proper ty without due process of law" but read the following de- cson handed down by the Supreme Court of Idaho which has prOhibitioA law the same as AlaSkaS:
 The Plaintiff was taken into custody for carrying in
 his possession for personal use intoxicating liquor in vo- ao9 of prohibition statute of the State of Idaho He sued for writ of habeas corpus from the State Supreme Court and sought discharge the ground that those Sc tions of state law under which he had been taken were in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution which says that mo state shall make or en- force any law which shall abrdge the privileges or mmun tes of citizens of the United States nor shall any state deprive any person offe liberty property without due process of law"
 The Supreme Court not only affirmed the judgment of the lower courts in maintaining the constitutionaty of
 state prohibition law, but went far as to imply in its judgment condemnation of the traffic in general It is evident from the opinion delivered through Justice Reynolds that in the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States the elimination of the traffic does not con- Stute abridgement of he privileges or mmunities of citizens of the United States"
 "The question presented for our determination" the opinion says s whether the Idaho statute so far as undertakes CO render ulaWIu the mere possession or whiSkey for personal use conflicts with the portion of the fourteenth amendment which declares no state shall make enforce laws which shall abrdge the privileges etc.
 It is now regarded as settled account of their well known noxious qualities and the eXtraOydinary evils shown by experience commonly to be subsequent to their use State has power absolutely to prohibit the manufac ture gift purchase sale transportation of intoxicating liquors within it's borders, without violating the guaran- tees of the fourteenth amendment.
 we further think it follows clearly from our numer- ous decisions upholdng prohibition legislation that right to hold intoxicating liquors for personal use does not con- sttute one of those fundamental privileges of citizen of the United States which no State may abridge"
 is interesting to note that the judgment of the Fed era District Court from which the case was appealed echoed the same sentiment, to-wt: land further, We have reached the conclusion that this not in contraven ton of section of the fourteenth amendment to the Con- Sttuton of the United States that it was passed by the Legislature with view to the protection of the public health and public safety that it has real and substantial relation to those objects and that it is therefore, reason ahl nYpvciSp Of the DOlcp mower Of thn State

ITALIANS HOLD
new POSITIONS
AGAINST BITTER
COUNTER ATTACK
By Sudden Attack at Dawn
They Advance Their
Lines Even Farther
TOTAL LOSSES
WERE VERY LIGHT
Aggregate Is Less Than
Number of Prisoners
Captured

Rome, Feb. 1.-The Austrians yes
terday attacked on the Asiago pla.
teau in an attempt to drive the
Italians from their newly won posi-
! tion on Monte di Val Bella, the wal
/ office announced today. The enemy
however. was unable to reach the
Italian line. ......
The Italians by a sudden attack al
dawn yesterday advanced their lines
as far as the head Of the TelagC
valley in this sector.
Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy Thursday, Jan. 31.-The splen-
did success gained by the italian
troops in two days of fighting west
Of the Brenta river has been main
tained at all points and the area OF
newly occupied territory Is being
organized rapidly without further
effort by the enemy to regain his
lost positions.
AS the italian brigades which took
part In the fighting were reassem-
bled, it developed that their losses
were comparatively small, the ag-
gregate being considerably less than
the number OF prisoners taken from
the enemy.
But the enemy losses were ex-
tremely heavy as is shown by the
number of dead left on the field and
tha renortF OF prisoners. Ut is estl-
mated that the total enemy loss
without counting the prisoners tax
en- by the Italians was between 5000
and 5000.
Throughout the Italian army the
troops have been stimulated by the
success in the Asiago area ana the
italian triumph is taken to show the
really formidable and aggressive
spirit OF the new forces. A consid-
cradle part of the troops engaged
were of the classes last called to the
colors, including some 10 years old.
MANY of the Sassari brigade which
DISTINGUISHED itself, are Sardintans
and the general commanding the d.
vision before leading the charge up
the slopes of Monte di Val Bella,
made ringing appeal in Sandman
dialect to his men. AS the young
stepped forward they
clenched their bayonets in their
teeth in order to leave their hands
free for hand grenade work. All the
prisoners speak Of the remarkable
fghting qualities shown by the Sar-
dinians. The result of the action is
having an effect on the morale OF
the enemy, according to reports or
prisoners. The Austrian winter cam
paign in the mountains has stop
ped entirely as it was concluded
that the difficulties OF snow and ice
and the interruption Of roads and
transport supplies had made opera
tions impossible.
Having accepted these conditions
as decisive against the winter Of
fensive, the Austrians were taken
by surprise when the
Italians carried out the operation
which drove the enemy back from
the lines marking his winter posi-
tion.

party committee met in Berlin on
Wednesday evening to decide upon
the attitude of the party in view Of
the extension Of the strike. The
committee considered a program,
which, The Vossische Zeitung says,
was regarded as offering a suitable
basis for negotiations with the gov

domestic affairs, omitting reference
to the desires in regard to the foreign
policy expressed by the strikers. The
committee also considered measures

ATTEMPT TO MURDER LENINE FAILS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUMMARY OF WAR

While many thousands of workers
are still on strike in Berlin and other
parts Of Germany the strike move
ment appears to be no longer in the
process Of extension. even in the
capital. In the chief industrial cen.
ters outside of Berlin support also is
reported as lacking in sufficient de-
gree to carry the movement alona.
HepTesslVs measures in Berlin have
taken the form of seizure of the
trade union building by the police
leaders.
Declaration of martial Law in the
great ports of HAMBURG and Bremen
and q lack of definite news concern
ing the progress Of the strike move
ment IN Germany indicate the ~os-
sinIIity that the authorities have
taken stern measures TO deal with
the diseontented workmen. BeIated
reports however. show that the
movement has spread widely since
Monday. Some correspondents in
Holland believe that the situation
mas grown worse owing TO the eF-
forts OF the German government to
minimize the Importance Of the
strike and the scarcity of news,
While a report from Copanhauen
says that all the Socialist leaders
have been summoned to Berlin to
discuss political questions, adviees
received in Amsterdam are to the
effect that Chancellor Won Hsrtlinu,
following the example Of Minister Of
the Interior Walrsf, refused TO see
a strikers delegation.
In Berlin there has been u fatal
clash between the strikers and the
police and minor disturbances are
reported 60 have occurred in other
sections as we'll as in the suburbs Of
the capital. The Berlin press saws
the movement in Berlin has reached
a climax and that IL is losing its eff
feetivsneSs. Reports received at Am
sterdan1 from other industrial sec
tions say that the strike is not Get
ting full support. More than 5000
workers have been reported on

Of new strikes in the Dortmund min
