plan of operation which may require five
years to reach stage of perfect devel-

should attract both the rangers desiring
to lease pastures and others seeking feed

SENATE RECEIVES
NEWS Of SIGNING
IN QUIET DIGNITY
House Is a Little More Enthusi-
astic and Cheers the Name of
the President.

Washington, June 2S.-Word of the
consumation of peace was received by
the national capital with scarcely flut-
ter of popular or official sentiment
At the White House and the state de-
partment the news aroused only quite
feeling of satisfaction that the prear-
ranged program for the signing at Yer
sail!es had gone thru. In congress there
was but a momentary demonstration and
on the streets the crowds gave no show
of interest.
As soon as the signing was concluded,
President Wilson's message to the Amer
lean people announcing the long awaited
event and appealing for acceptance OF
the treaty without change or reservation
was made public at the White House to-
petber with some details of the presi-
dents home coming.
It was by the reading of this message
congress was informed that the Yer
saiIles negotiations were at an end.
In the senate chamber, to which the
nations interest in the outcome of the
peace negotiations now is transferred,
announcement of the signing was receiv-
ed in silence. Interrupting an appropri-
alton bill debate, Senator Hitchcock,
Nebraska, senior democrat of the for
eign relations committee, read the presi-
dents message to an attentive audience
comprising less than half the senate's
membership.
Without any comment he then relin-
uuished the floor and the appropriation
debate proceeded.
The house punctuated reading of the
message with applause and there was a
short outburst of cheering when the
presidents name was read at the end.
There was no discussion of it, the only
comment being an announcement by
former Speaker Clark, when he sent 1t
to the clerks desk to, be read, that he
wanted to put into the record some
good news"

President Wilson has decided he can
not legally lift the wartime prohibition
ban before the country goes dry at
midnight Monday, but he expects to do
so as soon thereafter as his power has
been made clear by the completion OF
rehabilitation.
In a cablegram made public tonight
at the White House the president said
he was convinced after consultation with
his legal advisers that he had no
authority to act at this time.
The message expressed no opinion
As TO the authority of the president.
when he raises the ban, to make his
action applicable only to beer and wine.
Secretary Tumulty gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"The secretary to the president at
the White House tonight made public the
following cable from the President with
reference to wartime prohibition
81 am convinced that the attorney
general is right in advising me that l
have no legal power at this time in the
matter of the ban on liquor. Under
the act Of November 1918, my power
to take action is restricted The act
provides that after June 80, 1919, until
the conclusion of the present war and
thereafter until the termination of de-
mobilization, the date of which shall be
determined and proclaimed by the pre-
sident, it shall be unlawful, etc
This law does not specify that the
ban shall be lifted with the signing of
peace but with the termination of the
rehabilitation of the troops, and / can
not say that that has been accomplished
My information from the war depart
ment is that there are still million
men in the service under the emergency
call. 1t is clear, therefore, that the
failure of congress to act upon the sub
gestion contained in my message of the
Goth Of May, 1919, asking for repeal
of the act of November 81, 1918, so far
as it applies to wines and beer, makes
it impossible to act in this matter at
this time.
when rehabilitation is terminated,
my power to act without congressional
action will be exercised.
"WOODROW WILSON"
Refusal of President Wilson to act at
this time means that the long arm of
the wartime law will reach out at. mid
night Monday and close the door Of ev-
cry liquor establishment on American
soil.
Next in public interest to announce
ment Of the presidents attitude comes
the question-how soon will the army be
demobilized? There was belief in some
quarters tonight that this date would not
be long delayed, in view of the signing
of the treaty. the action Of congress
in reducing the size of the army, and
the effort of the government to bring

MUST Be RATIFIED
BEFORE COMMERCE
MAY Be RESUMED

Washington. June 2S-Signing at Yer
sailles of the peace treaty with Germany
arranged for today, formally brings to
close the worlds greatest war.
Altho technical termination of the war
will come to each nation only when the
treaty is approved by The ratifying lower
of that nation, to all intents and pur-
poses the conflict that negm In August
1914. ended when in the historic Hall
of Mirrors. the accredited peace com
missioners affixed their signatures to
the treaty. Likewise will be brought 10
an end the armistice granted Germany
last November IL.
Portion Of the treaty with Austria
vet remain to be completed and nego-
tiations with Turkey and Bulgaria still
must be conducted, but as to Germany,
chief of the enemy powers, only the
work of carrying out thru the long
series Of years of the provisions OF the
treaty will remain.
With the departure from Paris tonight
of President Wilson preparatory to sail
ing tomorrow from Brest on the George
Washington the center of interests as
regards the treaty shifts to the senate,
ratification by which is necessary for
actual termination of the war between
this country and Germany. Due to op-
nositjon to the league of nations coven-
ant--a part of the treaty and to certain
provisions Of the treaty itself. the con-
test in the senate is expected to be long
and bitter.
AS the signing of the treaty must be
followed by formal ratification before
commercial relations with Germany may
be resumed, spirit Of rivalry among
the entente allies to file notice of rati-
fication with the French secretariat in
Paris may be expected. The first ma
ton to resume relations with Germany,
therefore, probably will be among those
whose forms Of government admit OF
speedy action such as Great Britain,
which may ratify the treaty thru mere
order of the privy council.

BIDS ApIEu TO FRANCE.

Paris. June 2S.-President Wilson to-
day on the eve of his departure from
France made the following statement:
"As l look back over the eventful
months / have spent in France my
memory is not of conferences and hard
work alone, but also of innumerab'e acts
of generosity and friendship which
have made me feel how genuine the SEN
timents of France are toward the people
of America and how fortunate have
been to be the representative of our
people in the midst Of q nation which
knows how to- show us kindness with
so much charm and so much open mani
festation of what is in its heart.
Deeply happy as l am at the pro-
spects of joining my own countrymen
again. 1 leave France with genuine re-
gret, my deep sympathy for her people
and belief in her future confirmed; my
thot enlarged by the privilege of assoeia-,
ton with her public men. conscious OF
more than one affectionate friendship
formed, and profoundly grateful for un'
stinted hospitality and for countless
kindnesses which have made me fee
welcome and at home.
"I take the liberty Of bidding France
godspeed as good bye and of expressing
once more by abiding interest and en-
tire confidence in her future.
(Signed).

Hours before the time set for the
ceremony seemingly endless stream
Of automobiles began moving up the
cannon lined hill of the Champs Elysees,
past the Arc de Triomphe and out thru
the Bois de Boulogne, carrying the
plenipotentiaries, officials and guests to
the ceremony. The thorofare was kept
clear by pickets. dragons and mounted
gendarmes At the end Of the Court of
Honor in the chateau, guard of honor
was drawn up to present arms as the
leading plenipotentiaries passed. This
guard comprised q company of republican
guards in brilliant uniform. The en-
trance for the delegates was BY the
marble stairway to the Queens apart
ments" and the Hall of Peace, giving
access thence to the Hall of Mirrors.
The route to the peace table for the
plenipotentiaries was thru space re-
served for some 400 privileged guests.
1t had been arranged that the delega-
order, as when the original terms Of
peace were communicated to the Ger
maLs, should enter by groups. each one
being formally announced by ushers
from the French foreign office.
This formality was not prescribed for
the Germans, who we're given a sepa-
rate route of entry, coming thru the
park and gaining the marble stairway
thru the German floor. There was thus
avoidance Of occasion of the guard of
honor to render them military honors
these being reserved for the allied rep
resentatives. The dismounted guardsmen
on the marble staircase and in the
queens apartments, however, were In
structed to remain in their place for
the entry of the Germans.
Within the Hall of Mirrors where
the historical furnishings and paintings
gave tone of impressive state which
would otherwise have been rather lack
ing in the assemblages of soberly at
tired delegates, % chairs for the plen-
ipotentiaries were drawn up around
three sides of the tables, which formed
an open rectangle fully so feet In length
on its longer side. A chair for NJ
Clemenceau, president Of the peace con-
ference. was placed In the center Of the
long table facing the windows, with
those for President Wilson and Pre-
mier Lloyd George on the right and
left hand respectively.
The German delegates were assigned
seats at the side of the table nearest
the entrance which they could take af-
