servation, Asks Lenten
Speaker
MOSAIC LAWS OBSOLETE

Concerts, but Opposes Too
Wide Freedom

May you emancipate the old city Of
Philadelphia from the rut into which it
seems to have sunk May you take it
out of its old conservatism and make It
a true city Of God :"
These were the words of the Rev. H.
B. r. Phillips st. Louis, speaker at the
Garrick Theatre Lenten noon service to-
day, as he pleaded for the open Sunday
open, at least. to a moderate degree.
His opinion concerning Sunday enter
tainments, and his emphatic declaration
that the salvation OF this country lay
in national prohibition. brought forth
shouts Of Amen" and thunderous ap-
plause from the audience.
II do not like the old idea of Sun
day. he said Il don't believe the laws
Of Moses meet this age Of the world.
On the contrary ! wouldn't have a
Continental Sunday here for anything.
st. Louis almost has that. You are
far from it in Philadelphia. But YOU
should be more tolerant Of men and
women seeking culture.
There could be no objector to or
rhestra concerts on Sunday. Don't be
get. Be temperate, yes. and don't allow
the Sabbath to become debased. But
be broad. The Man Of Galilee came TO
take US Clto a higher attitude Of life.
God grant you may have tn" courage to
stand for the higher things: that YOU
may bring Philadelphia out of it's stupor
Of conservatism into active modern
Christianity"
Speaking Of liquor. Mr.. Phillips said
THE menace Is not only in the saloons.
It is in the clubs and the homes. For
the sake of God and humanity. men
and women, give up liquor in your clubs
and in your homes"
You may be religious intellectually
and yet your religion be no more to
you than a fetish in the hand of a South
Sea islander" said Dr. Karl Reiland, Of
st. Georges Episcopal Church, New

Beer will not be legislated out Of ex-
istence, even II the constitutional amend
ment making tho country dry is up
held by the Supreme Court, says G. w.
Bergner, president of the Philadelphia
Lager Brew Brewers Association.
He expressed the belief this afternoon
that the various states would come to
the rescue of the brewers by defining as
q nonintoxicant beverage virtually
the same as the beer now being made.
..Maine, the oldest dry state in the
union has Just voted that nonintoxi-
cant Is beverage containing per cent
or less of alcohol Mr.. Bergner said
This is more alcohol than is contained
In the beer being brewed and sold today
and the vote safeguards the brewers,
There has been tremendous reaC-
tion on the liquor question, and the peo-
pie Of the country resent the manner i'll
which the amendment was put across.
A Congress that should have been busy
planning real wartime legislation had
it's time taken up by the prohibition
question, and as a result many win-the-
war policies Of real merit We're allowed
to rest without action
Mr.. Bergner said the Supreme Court
has done sonic queer things during
the last five years. and when it finds
that the amendment does not reflect the
attitude Of the people toward the ques-
tion it is likely to declare it void.
This is in direct opposition 70 the
statement of DR.. Homer w. Tope, dis
trict superintendent of the Antt-Saloon
League, who said that the mere fact
that the amendment has been adopted
makes II a part of the constitution, and
that not even the Supreme Court can
declare the constitution unconstitu-
tional.
Philadelphia is on the verge of beer
famine, Mr. Bergner said. The beer
being sold now was manufactured prior
to December 1. a federal regulation pro
hibiting the sale of beer brewed after
that date, and the supply is running
short he asserted.

Storage of Intoxicants Is Legal.

Columbus, O.-Under a ruling by
Attorney General John G. Price the
possession, storing or expectation of
liquors will not be inter-
ldicted by the State of Ohio by the
terms of the constitutional prohibition
amendment becoming effective May 81.
The inquiry came from East Liverpool,
where 1t appears that dealers desire to
ship liquor into Pennsylvania before
July l, when Federal wartime" prohi-
bition becomes effective. Attorney
General Price says it is true that the
possession and storage of liquor may
be made the subject of legislation
looking to the enforcement of the pro-
hibition amendment, but nothing has
been enacted other than the provisions
of the Crabbe bill, which has not taken
effect yet. The saloon keepers of Ohio
are entitled to no refund for May %,
the last day of the license year. The
reason Is cited that they knew when
taking the licenses, that they were not
entitled to refund for days on which
saloons were closed by law.

peace delegation, has asked for an
extension Of the time permitted the
Germans to present their reply to the
allies peace tennlss Z aa Mcall II,
that further notes were being prepared
and that it would be impossible to

Must Accept Responsibility.
The answer of the council of four to
the German note regarding Preparations
points out in reply to the German re-
fusal to admit responsibility for the
war that it is impossible to disassoci-
ate responsibility from reparation.
The reply recalls that the Germans
raised no objection to Secretary Ian
sings note of last November 5, in
which he spoke Of German aggression.
The council of four also refuses to
admit that the German people may dis
claim responsibility for the actions of
the former German government.

Geneva, Switzerland, May 22.-The
Swiss Telegraph Agency says it learns
that the allied and associated govern
ments on Monday demanded to know
of the Swiss federal council if the
council was ready to take rigorous
measures concerning the application Of
the blockade if Germany should refuse
to sign the peace treaty.
"This MEANS" says the Telegraph
Agency, "that the allies desire to know
whether Switzerland will consent to
prohibit all exports from and imports
into Germany except those permitted
by the allies during the war.
1.-THE object Of the allies Is to avoid
Misunderstanding about future re-
strictions on expectations into Switzer-
land in the event of the Germans de-
clining to sign the peace treaty. The
federal authorities are examining the
note and will reply to it shortly"

Washington, May %. - Notwith-
standing President Wilson's recon-
mendation for repeal Of wartime pro-
hibition In so far as it relates to wines
and beers, the opinion seemed to gain
ground at the capital that all repeal
measures would be kept In committee
pntil after ,Ill Iy 80. g.
In the meantime, however. prohibits
tion leaders planned to enact the leg
islation, which failed at the last ses-
sion, for enforcement of the wartime
prohibition act and the constitutional
amendment. Senator Sheppard, Dem
ocrat, of Texas author of the war
time act, said he was confident en-
forcement legislation would be passed
before July /.
There was no disposition on the
part of the majority leaders, 1t was
said, to hasten consideration of a re-
peal measure, nor were they i'm.
pressed with the argument that it
might be well to test out the saloon
system from which hard liquors are
to be eliminated when the whole coun.
try is to become dry by constitutional
amendment next year.
The only apparent move was by
prohibition leaders, who were outspo.
ken in their opposition to the presi.
dents recommendation, regardless OF
party lines. They let 1t be known
they would oppose any substitute
liquor bill, and would make every eff
fort to prevent favorable committee
action on any measure which would
delay national prohibition.
