Washington. March 1S.--(By A. PD--
An extra session of Congress before June
10 believed TO be a certainty by many
government officials and members OF
Congress. although their predictions are
without the support of evidence TO show
that President Wilson has changed his
discrimination not TO summon Congress
before his return from France.
Cabinet officers are known to beley e
that the session will begin in May, some
expecting the date TO be about the
middle of the month with others sug-
gesting an earlier date, probably May 3.
Secretary Glass is understood to have
presented certain facts in regard to the
eGvernment's financial situation from
which the President may make his own
d<ducsions.
Members of Congress remaining in
washington. particularly the Republic
cans, hope that the session will be called
TWO months before the end OF the cur
rent hscal year next June 80.

Under the Interpretation of the Presi-

the Internal Revenue Department has
ruled that beer brewed at the present
time cannot be sold unless its alcoholic
content is reduced to one-half of per
cent
3 The New York brewers decided today

per cent alcohol on an opinion Of Elihu
Root and William 4, Guthrie to the
Lager Beer Brewers Board Of Trade
Z of New York, that the 20, per cent
product is not intoxicating and the sale
therefore would not he contrary to exist
ing law.
Whether the Internal Revenue Ne

rule against the sale Of heer contain
ing one-half of ! per cent or more Of
alcohol, will be put to the Department
Of Justice. Internal Revenue Cormis-

opinion in a few days said q. w.
Bergner, of the Bergncr and E;nGel Com
pany, and president of the Philadelphia
Lager Beer Brewers Association.
"The whole question devolves itself
into the definition of an intoxicating
drink My personal opinion is that beer
containing "a per cent alcohol is non
intoxicating. This il backed up by
careful survey made by Mr. Hoover and
other officials a the time the first
proclamation was issued by President
fully with much deliberation and
thought.
Percentage Less Than Allowed
when the President declared 2at beer
as the product we would be permitted
TO brew, we made II with about 90 per
cent of alcohol so as to be well within
the de efinition.
I'VE are permitted to brew this beer
at the present time. The law makes no
distinction with respect to the content
in the manufacture We are not per
mitted, however, to sell it unless it is
reduced to one-half of | per cent
"An of the beer which is being sold
now contains 20, per cent alcohol. This
beer was brewed before December l.
But any beer brewed at the present time
must come within the smaller alcoholic
