LEGAL FIGHT OVER WAR
TINE PROHIBITION OPENS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. united
Press sl.-Attorneys for the liquor inter-
ests and the Government began their
legal battle over constitutionallty OF
wartime prohibition before the Su-
preme Court today.
The opening move was a request OF
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Antl-SalOon League, to file a brief in
support Of the Government. This was
granted by Chief Justice White.
The court was crowded TO capacity.
outside a throng lined up for a block
waited to gain entrance.
Elihu Root, Levi Mayer and William
Marshall Bullitt were in the court be
hind a mass of papers to make the ar
gument for the liquor interests.
Assistant Attorney General Frlerson
is to make the chief argument for the
Government
The Anti-SalOon League in its brief
claimed prohibition was necessary 10
the general welfare in the war.
'oThe brewers the brief sad, were
using ca 100000 pounds of sugar a year
and enough grain TO feed 100000 peo-
ple n wear. The brewers in 1917 used
100000 tons Of coal and required 49,
100000 teams and cars including 2OO,-
600 freight cars"
Frierson made the opening argument.
Mayer, liquor attorney. sought 10 OBJ
tain more time for argument, but this
was refused by Chief Justice White.
Present circumstances, Frierson said,
have not ended the war powers Of
Congress and the emergency has not
ceased.
THE war powers of Congress not
only extend to winning the war, but to
getting the country back TO a normal
basis" he said, land that has not been
done yet"
Suppose the treaty Is never put into
effect. would you continue this for
ever2" McReynolds asked.
1T must be continued until there
is some act Of the President or Con-
gress officially ending the war" Frier-
son replied.
Wasn't the Civil War long beyond
hostilities and didn't the courts hold
the war was not ended until the Presi-
Dental proclamation? Chief Justice
White interrupted.
"HOstilitles IN the CiViAfa ended IN
the spring Of 1865, but The President
did not proclaim peace" Frierson said
There was no treaty because the
South was vanquished and in the in
terval the country was in the same po-
sition as today. The court also held
in the Spanish-American war that the
protocol did not end the war, but that
this rested upon the proclamation Of
peace after the ratification Of the
treaty"

the lower courts is virtually a tie the

York and Chicago while the liquor in

WILSON SPURNS LODGE
PEACE TREATY PROGRAM
President Insists on Preamble
Being Eliminated and Reser-
vation Phrases Softened.

Washington, Dec. 10.-President VIII
son has intimated TO Administration
leaders in the Senate that no compromise
on the Peace Treaty would be acceptable
to him so long as it included anything to
he interpreted as AN acceptance OF the
Lodge reservation program.
This became known yesterday, although
Democratic leaders, in explaining the
Presidents position, said that they them
selves were not clear whether the Presi-
dent meant that a compromise could not
be worked out along the line of the Lodge
reservations or whether he WAS opposed
Ia accepting the reservations rs phrased.
The Democratic leaders are convinced
that the President will soon inform the
senate in 70 NAL way, or permit those
m charge of the Treaty fight for him TO
know in more definite way just what IS
IN his mind.
Inasmuch rs Senator Hitchcock, Ad-
mnistration leader. denied reports that
he had been forbidden by Mr.. Wilson TO
entertain compromise proposals or 10
seek to reach an adjustment of the dltier-
enceS which prevented treaty ratiflcation,
II is believed that the President Is not
opposed to considering compromises,
which will soften some phrases In the
Lodge reservations and eliminate the
preamble.
II : pl9in 10 Mr. Wilson, the Admlnis-
tration leaders saw, thst the treaty cannot
I've ratified without including reservations
in some form The Republicans classed
as mild reservationists are not opposed
TO considering changes in the reservations,
and. 3 move on the part OF the President
that does not overlook sentiment existing
in the Senate for some form OF reservations
would turn his treaty fight into a victory.
After his return from Europe, President
" ilSon told members OF the Foreign Re-
l:.;ions Committee that he WAS not op-
posed to interpretations. but did not see
he necessity for reservations which would
destroy the fabric of the treaty. Since
that time he has learned that the
-oieign powers would not he adverse to
some Of the reservations made bv the
senate. and that they are eager Ior the
nited States 10 ratifv the Treaty. Il is
achcved that the President Is willing to
make some concession to Republican
opposition in the Senate, but Just how
ar he will 90 in meeting the Lodge pro-
poSalS cannot he learned, Ills attitude
j. generally interpreted Is that Of willing
Iess to accept some Of the Lodge reSer-
vntions if the harsh phrases are softened
snd the preamble eliminated.
Democratic Senators are Of the opinion
that the President will finally propose
hat the preamble be eliminated from the
Lodge reservations. This requires three
of the CHEF powers allied with America
IN the war 10 accept the reservations before
the | nited States Is bound by the terms
If the Treaty
