WILSON EXPECTED
TO LIFT DRY BAN
Vets Believe He Will Issue Proc
lamation Soon.
REHABILITATION NEAR END
Announcement That All Drafted Men
and Guards Are on Way Home
Would Justify Action, Accord
ing to Liquor Men.

Washington, June, 10.-An uncon-
firmed report that President Wilson
will within short time issue a proeIa-
nation declaring rehabilitation of the
army completed has given hope to
vets for the death of the dry law eff
as reported the wartime prohibition
law would be made void.
Strong Opposition.
Strong opposition against the repeal
of the law in congress is said to have
determined the president to use his
authority granted hip under the law
to nullify the July l statute.
The announcement by General March
that all drafted men and national
guard units have been started home
from France would justify the presl-
dents reported action, the vets claim.
Representative Fitzgerald of Massa-
chusetts stated that he had been in
formed that rehabilitation Of combat
ant troops will be completed by June
II and he pointed this as a reason why
the need for wartime prohibition will
end before July l.
Further Justification.
The vets claim to have found in the
military law still further justifica-
ton Of the presidents action in case
he should declare rehabilitation com
plete. The military Interpretation of
the term mobilization" they say, is
active operations in the field"
The present status Of the military
establishment with the last of the
drafted men now on the way home
does not conform with that interpre-
tation the vets contend.
