Congress Not Likely to Repeal War
Prohibition Act.

Washington, May 22.-.Iot Withstand
ing President Wilson's reeommenda-
i tion for repeal of wartime prohibition
in so far as it relates TO wines and
beers, the opinion seemed to gain
repeal measures would be kept in COM
mittee until after July !.
In the meantime, however, prohibi-
ton leaders planned to enact the leg
islation which failed at the last ses-
sion for enforcement of the wartime
prohibition act and the constitutional
amendment. Senator Sheppard. of
Texas, democrat, author of the war
time act, said today he was confident
enforcement legislation would be
passed before July /.
There was TO disposition on the part
of the majority leaders. it was said.
to hasten consideration of a repeal
measure, nor were they impressed
with the argument that it might be
well to test out the saloon system from
which hard liquors are to be eliminat-
ed when the whole country is to be-
come dry by constitutional amendment
next year
The only apparent move was by pro-
hibition leaders who were outspoken in
their opposition to the presidents re-
commendation. regardless Of party
lines. They let !: be known they would
oppose any substitute liquor bill, and
would make eyory effort to prevent
favorable romlnittee action on any
measure which would delay national
prohibition. sls

Third army which was organized for

because of the new turn in the peace
sitaution. The regiment may be sent
to London and Brussels as intended II
the peace treaty Is signed.
The movement of motor trucks con-
tinued thruout Wednesday and most
Of Wednesday night and was the topic
Of conversation among the German
civilians in Coblenz. Many civilians
complained con. that the trucks as they
rumbled across the Rhine bridges at
night disturbed their sleep. The
trucks, which have a capacity Of from
thirty to forty soldiers. are fully
equipped. They were taken to con.
centration points Of the two divisions
on the cast bank of the Rhine.

Situation Complicated.

The reported Italian incident ap-
parently complicates the Turkish prob
lem already a vexed one. with which
the peace conference heads have been
struggling for some little time past.
In evident anticipation Of a Greek
mandate to administer the Smyrna
district. allied forces were landed at
Smyrna last Thursday, meeting with
considerable resistance from the Turks,
but making Themselves masters Of the
city
Italian troops were reported to have
participated to some extent in this
landing. According to a Paris dis
patch Of May 90. however. the Italians
had previously landed forces at Adalia,
on the southern coast or Asia Minor.
and likewise disembarked troops at
Budrum. ninety-six miles southeast OF
Smyrna, and at Makri. on the gulf OF
Makrl in the villayet Of Smyrna.
There had been nothing to indicate
that these landings were not by agree
ment among the allies, and indeed
some Of the unofficial forecasts as to
the probable division Of Turkish terri
tory under league Of nations manda-
tories had indicated the probability
that Italy would be given the Adalia
district to administer.
