WHEN is CIDER BOOZE?
Is Owner Made Moonshiner BY Cider
Hardening?

Is Owner Made Moonshiner 6y Cidcr
Hardening?
Washington, May 9-lf an American
citizen permits nature to take it's
course with a keg of cider, does he
violate the wartime prohibition law?
This is a question which the depart
ment Of Justice has been asked to de-
termine, and there are thousands of
persons in as many communities who
will be Interested in the decision.
Can a citizen be held to have man
ufactured alcoholic or Intoxicating
liquor IL there is found in his posses
sion keg Of hard cider, which when it
first came into his possession was non
alcoholic? That Is the issue.
The aforesaid citizen performed no
labor in connection with the keg Of
cider. He contributed nothing to the
process Of nature in making the cider
hard and obnoxious to the general
health and welfare of the community.
So far as the citizen is concerned.
friends of hard cider argue. he is en-
tirely innocent of any wrong in the
transaction.
The prohibition argument, however,
is that the citizen is blamable because
he did not drink the cider before 1t
reached an intolerant stage. In many
instances, the prohibitionist holds, the
citizen unquestionably prayed for ma
ture to hurry up in it's process on the
cider and in doing so technically aided
and Abetted an unlawful process.
Therefore he is guilty. Prove it, says
the citizen.

REFUSAL NOT IMPROBABLE.
Ebert Government May Decide to
"Fall in Blaze Of Glory"

Versailles, May S.-The question
whether Germany will sign the peace
treaty or not is the pressing one OF
the hour. 1t is impossible as yet to
gain an impression of the attitude OF
the German plenipotentiaries here,
but information coming from German
sources goes to show It is quite pos

accept such a drastic treaty. 1t may
choose to refuse to sign the treaty AMI

According to this information the
greatest shock to the Germans was
given by the formula establishing the
frontier of Poland. giving, as it does.
a greater part Of west Prussia and
considerable seacoast to Poland. in
addition to large coal fields in upper

object to lndemnities.
The delegates also questioned the
possibility Of Germany paying in
IDENTITIES to the extent laid down by the
treaty and they doubt whether they
should sign clauses which are said
ostensibly to regard as impossible OF
fulfillment. They object also to the
surrender Of their entire mercantile
feet arguing this would force them to
pay an additional indemnity to
England in money for every ton OF
freight imported manufactured or ex-
ported under the virtual British mono
poly Of ocean tonnage which they as
sumo would soon follow the elfmina-

League Covenant to People.
Washington. May 9.-Unanimously
approving the peace pact with Germa-
ny, but still opposing tie league OF

republican leaders in the senate are
seriously considering the following pro-
gram Of action when President VIII
son presents the treaty for ratifica-
ton:
/. Separation Of the league coven-
ant from the treaty by senate amend
ments.
treaty provisions fox peace with Ger
many.
8. Submission of the league of ma
tions covenant to national referen-
dunn under . special act of congress-
Senator Lodge, who will be chairman
of the foreign relations committee. has
discussed this suggested procedure
with Senators Knox and Borah. other
republican members Of the committee
who favor such action. and a decision
was reached to submit the plan to the
full conference Of republican senators
which will be called. ="
This contemplated program Is based
upon the contention that the league or
nations covenant proposes radical de-
parture from traditional American pol
icies and involves the surrender or
rights and interests so vital as to re-
auire the most mature consideration on
the part Of the American people.
In view Of the recent White House
denial that the presidena has negotiat ;
cd an alliance With Great Britain and
France. senators evidenced much inter-
est in the official government an
nouncement that Mr.. Wilson will pro-
pose to the senate"a an agreement under
the terms Of which England and the
kUnited States would defend France
against any aggression by Germany.
II an not in favor of any treaty or
alliance with France or with any other
foreign power obligating ourselves in
any way concerning future wars in
Europe said Senator. Bora n
whether we shall take part in any
future European war is matter which
should be determined upon the facts
when and as they arise and by the
particular generation which must bear
the brunt of war. and by the intelli-
gence and the conscience and the judg-
ment Of the American people as they
see the situation when face to face
with It."
Neither the president nor the sem
ate nor the house, nor any one can
pledge future congress-" said Senator
Curtis of Kansas. "The United States
always has been ready to do its full
part to preserve peace and it can be
depended on in, the future as in the
past and its record is evidence OF its
willingness to do everything necessary
to be done to protect civilization
against militarisln. The very fact
that the president has asked for a
special alliance Is evidence that his
league Of nations is not what he in
tended it to be-"
