Paris, June 27.-U. N. S.)-Presi- :
dent Wilson has the utmost conf
dence that the United States senate
will ratify the peace treaty shortly
after II Is presented in its final form.
The president plans TO sail imme-

York a week later. II Is expected
that he will request a joint session
OF the senate and house on Monday,
when he will address the members
and at the same time deliver the
treaty TO the senate committee on
foreign relations. Latest advices
reaching the president indicate that
sufficient votes can be mustered to
secure ratification, although the ad-
ministration expects bitter fight In
the final stages.
The president has informed his
colleagues that he is entirely con-
vinced that public opinion wiz de-

tion of the treaty and the league OF

The American peace delegates are
convinced that the ex-kaiser will
never be brought to trial This clause
was inserted at an insistent demand
from British sources. Americans here
think that the machinery for the pro-
posed trial will be gone through with,
and an international tribunal actually
formed, but 1t is believed that such
a body would hold action In abate-
ment in view Of pleas raised on the
ex-kaiser's behalf that there is no
such crime under international law
as he Is charged with.

NO One KNOWS WILSON'S
PLAN AS TO PROHIBITION
MULTITUDE OF RUMoRs
ABROAD, HOWEVER.
Bill Goes to Congress Satur
day--Immediate Consider
alton to Be Sought.

Washington, June 27.-(A. P.)--
Despite multitude Of rumors and
reports as to what President Wilson
intends to do on annulling war time
prohibition 80 far as it affects wines
and beer after July /, apparently
there is no one In Washington who
knows the president'srmind and there
Is no agreement among adminlstra-
tion officials as to the likelihood OF
his action.
Those who hold that the president
will take no action, declare he is
without power to do so until the final
termination of the state of war.
Prohibition is made effective by the
law until the termination OF the war
and thereafter until the president
shall have declared rehabilitation
completed" and, therefore the ad-
ministration's legal advisers hold
that prohibition can not be annulled
without congressional action until the
treaty Of peace has been ratified
Some officials and members of con-
gress contend, however, that by ter
mination OF the war" congress meant
the ending of actual hostilities and
that the president has full power to
end war time prohibition after July /,
by declaring demobilization COM
pleted.
No Action Until After July q.
Although enforcement legislation
cannot be passed by congress and
approved by the president before war
time prohibition becomes effective,
the department Of justice will under
take to enforce the prohibition law.
The BILL as finally amended by the
committee, will be sent to the house
tomorrow and Chairman Volstead
will ask for a rule for it's immediate
consideration. Members said, how
ever, it was not likely that action
would be taken until after July 4.
The three sections of the enforce
ment bill are:
War time enforcement, effective
upon it's approval; constitutional pro-
hibition enforcement, and regulation
Of the manufacture of industrial al
cohol. Parts two and three will be-
come effective January 16, when the
country will go dry by constitutional
amendment

COUNTER REVOLUTION
in HUNGARY. PUT DOWN,
Bella KUN RECOMMENDS
HARSHER MEASURES.
"Bourgeoise Must Be Crushed
Without Mercy" Says
Red Dictator.

Berne, June 27.--(A. PA counter
revolutionary movement in Hungary
during which a monitor on the Dan
ube was seized by the govern
ment forces, has been put down, ac-
cording to advices to the Vienna cor
respondenz bureau from Budapest.
The messages indicate the counter
revolutionary movement developed
Tuesday. The officers who took pos
session of the monitor used the ves-
sells guns for bombarding the soviet
headquarters while numbers of their
supporters on the banks of the river,
II is declared, cheered for the cause
of royalty. There was considerable
rifle and revolver firing during which
numerous persons were wounded. A
Budapest dispatch to the bureau, filed
Thursday. stated the movement had
been quelled and order restored. In
referring to sthe outbreak, Bella Kun
the soviet foreign minister. is quoted
as recommending harsher measures
to the central executive committee.
= The present weakness of the die
tatorshiD is responsible for these
troubles" he declared. "The bour-
geoisie must be crushed without
mercy. To proclaim kindness and
leniency would be to shake the con-
fdence of the proletariat. We do not
want equality but the dictatorship of
the proletariat."
Allies Should Not Interfere.
Budapest, June 26.-(A. P.)-"The
allied policy toward Hungary should
be one of noninterference In our in
ternal affairs and the allies should
also raise the blockade" Bella Kun,
foreign minister OF the present Hun
garian government, told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent today in
assertions that Hungary
had been interfering with the affairs
of the Austrian republic.
Minister Kun also expressed con-
fdence that communism would sue

After such a peace capitalism will
be incapable of organizing produce

Protest Russ Plan.

Southport, England. June IL
"a. P.)-British, French and Italian
labor representatives have decided to
make a general demonstration on
July 20 or 21 to protest against allied
intervention in Russia. This an
nouncement was made by Arthur

prevent the governments of Europe
from adopting a reactionary policy
throughout that continent.
1t would be left to each country,
he added, to decide whether the dem
onstration would take the form of
political or industrial action. Reso-
lutions would be adopted protesting
against any intervention in Russia
and demanding the abandonment of
conscription.
The conference later adopted
resolution calling upon the trade
union congress to take industrial ac-
ton in order. to compel the British
government to stop operations in
Russia.
There was a heated discussion over
the resolution, which was adopted on
a card vote by 1,S93,00 to 935,000.
