Senator Hale of Maine. addressin

strongly urged that American troops
in Europe be returned to the United

ciared that he did not believe the ma

fought to make the world safe for
democracy" or that they shared with
the President the ideals for which he
is contending at the peace conference
today.
IT do not wish to decry the work of
the President" said Senator Hale.
"but I believe that his ideals are
not the ideals Of the vast majority of
the people of the United States. These
ideals were expressed during the
progress OF the war and because they
were not publicly turned down by the
American people or by their repre-
sentatives In Congress the President

COURT DECISIONS
Will Enforce Wartime Pro-
hibition Until Highest
Court Acts


Washington, Nov. 14.-Attorney
General Palmer's position with re-
spect to enforcement of wartime
prohibition has in no way been al
tered by court decisions in Rhode
Island and Kentucky. The Depart
ment of Justice contention that the
wartime law is valid will be vigor-
ously defended until final decision
has been handed down by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, It is said.
While enforcement of the law Is
stopped in the two states, United
States District Attorneys, acting on
prior instruct 'ons. will proceed with
prosecutions of violators in other
communities, officials declared.
With regard to the effect on the
constitutional amendment by the
Ohio referendum overturning the
Legislatures action, the Attorney
Generals view was said to be that
action by the Ohio electorate would
not change the date on which the
prohibition amendments to the con-
stitution goes into effect. Until the
number of states ratifying the
amendment falls below thirty-six
the department will not concern it
self with the changes in their iden-
tity according to the opinion ex-
pressed by the officials of Mr.. Pal
mer's staff.
