This means according to Rep
resentative Randall, prohibitionist,
California, that the country will be
thrown into whisky drinking orgy,
which. he says, the president surely
does not desire. In order, therefore,
to bridge the gap between the date
Of the proclamation and the effective
date Of constitutional prohibition,
Mr.. Randall announced that he
would introduce Monday an emerg-
ency peace measure to prohibit re-
moval from bond or transportation
in interstate commerce of any dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes.
No Beer After October /.
Mr.. Randall estimated that at the
earliest the army would not be de-
modified before October |, at
which time there would be no beer
in stock, and that breweries would
not open for a three months run.

DE VALERA PLEADS
FOR NEW LEAGUE
OF NATIONS PACT
Peace Treaty Signed at Ver-
sailles a Mockery.
He Says.

Boston, June 29.-Eamonn De
Valera, president of the Irish re-
public" appealed to the United
States in an address Sunday, to
frame at Washington a new coven-
ant for a league of nations which
would give Ireland a place among
the nations of the world. The
peace treaty signed at Versailles
Saturday, he said, was mockery.
Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd
of more than 10000 persons, which
thronged Fenway Park, the Irish
leader measured his terms. He must
be careful what he said in this coun-
try, he explained.
His lieutenant, Harry J. Boland'
was more direct.
"We are here to plead the cause
of Ireland" said Mr.. Boland. "We
have no wish to interfere in Amer
lean politics, but we do ask you not
to put your name to document
which will perpetuate the slavery of
our people" he added.
I'VE will guarantee In Ireland
that there will be no peace until
Ireland is free"
Senator Walsh Speaks.
The appeal brought response from
United States Senator Walsh of
Massachusetts,, who asked Mr.. De
Valera to take back to Ireland the
word that the senate already was
pledged to support the aspirations
of the Irish people and that they
could depend upon it that the
United States will never place an
obstacle in the way of Irish inde-
pendence.

Washington, June 29.-While
Wilson's announcement Saturday
night that he would not lift the ban
on wartime prohibition until the
army was demobilized provoked a
storm of varying comment in con-
gressional circles, there were no
indications of any concerted move
to obtain immediate consideration
by the house of enforcement legis-
lation.
The general view was there was
law enough for the present and that
the house will adhere to the plan
outlined by leaders to let the whole
prohibition question go over until
after the holiday recess, which may
begin Monday night or Tuesday.
Members opposed to the drastic
provisions of the measure reported
out by the judiciary committee gave
notice. They would endeavor to
have these striker out on the floor.
From the other side came intima-
tons that in some respects the bill
was not strict enough, and it was
said an amendment would be
offered to eliminate the section
which would permit citizens to
store liquor in his home, and the
other classes which would make its
use" unlawful.
Wilson Statement Clear.
The president makes it clear in
his statement that with the failure
of congress to act on his sugges-
ton for repeal of the wartime law
so far as it relates to wines and
beer, the effect of his proclamation
to be issued upon completion of
rehabilitation would be to permit
