May End September 80.

Provided the Army is demobilized
within three months, wartime prohi-
bition may end September 80, and
and sold until January 16, when con-
stitutional prohibition becomes eff
fective.
Suggestions have been made in Con-
gress that special peace time" pro-
hibition measures be enacted to bridge
the possible gap between the accom-
plishment of rehabilitation and the
date on which constitutional prohibi-
ton goes into effect. Among these
measures suggested is one that would
prohibit taking out of bond any alco-
holic liquors or beverages during the
interval.
/ Over a Million Still in Army.
The Army is estimated today to
number a few thousand more than
100000 men, composed of: Regulars.
national guardsmen in federal service.
drafted men and volunteer recruits
who recently enlisted for the one and
three-year periods. The regulars. ex-
elusive of duration of emergency"
men, include not more than 10000 men
at the most and the recently recruited
class totals $1,000, leaving 100000 as
the number which apparently must be
discharged before rehabilitation can
be said to have been completed and
the President legally entitled to act.
The period required for demobiliza-
ton depends. it was said today. with
in definite limits upon the size of the
American force left with the army of
occupation. The 100000 men now
comprising the American expedition
airy force in France and Germany
could be returned by August 10, and
the camp machinery in this country is
capable of discharging them as fast
as the transports can land them.

Need Internal Peace-Clemenceau
In presenting the text of the peace
treaty TO the chamber of deputies to-
day Premier Clemenceau made bricf
speech. in which he recalled the French
national assembly which met at Bor-
deauX in 1871. and added: We make
peace as we made war. without weak
ness. Internal peace is a necessity for
external peace"
The center and right cheered the
premier, while the extreme socialist left
remained silent.
Relaxation in Peace Circles.
There was complete relaxation in
peace conference circles and in Paris
generally today after the perioS OF tense
ness which eliminated with the
ceptance by Germany of the peace
terms and the final signing of the treaty
at Saturdays memorable ceremony IN
the Versailles palace.
Secretary of State Lansing this morn
ing had conference with the Ameri-
can officials who remained here after
the departure of President Wilson. Later
in the day he planned to meet Arthur J.
Balfour, the British foreign secretary.
and representatives of the other pow
ers to formulate plans for carrying Oh
the work remaining to be accomplished
by the conference.
The calling of meeting of the
council of ten, which now is the SUI
preme body of the conference. will de-
pend upon the completion of the pro-
gram for the future proceedings now
being framed by the principal powers.
Task Not Over, Says Poincare.
(Havas)-The task of the allied and
associated powers is not ended with
the signing of the treaty with Ger
many, and the nations must continue
to be united. in order to see that the
clauses of the treaty are carried out.
President Poincare declared in an in
terview in the Paris edition Of the
London Daily Mail
1t will take some years for France
to regain her normal mode of life. and
what France needs most at present is
ships, the president said. because only
an increase in importations can bring
about a decrease in the present high
prices of raw material and the neces-
stiles of life. In principle, he added
the allies are agreed on this point, and
the people of France hope that the
other nations will aid them in restor-
ing their country, which suffered most
from the war.

Ignored Offer of Purse, Says Victim

Il was hurrying through the woods
to catch the 1890 O'Clock car to
Washington" said Mrs. Gleason this
afternoon. when the man stepped out
and struck me across the mouth with
club, knocking me down.
Il held up my purse. containing $40
and some liberty bond coupons. and
asked him to take that and leave me
alone. Instead of complying he
grabbed me by the throat and began
dragging me off the path. 1 soon lost
consciousness and did not know any
thing more until "Trixie." my Aire-
dale dog, brought me to consciousness
by licking my face. ] believe Trixie
drove the man away"
Mrs. Gleason's husband, J. c. Glea-
son. a machinist at the navy yard.
hurried home as soon as notified of
the assault. He was deeply agitate ed
this afternoon and joined the police
in the hunt for the assailant of his
wife. Capt. Judge of the tenth pre-
cinct. and ten detectives are conduct
ing the search in and near Takoma
Park in an effort to find the colored

Decision Brings Relief.

This news was a distinct relief TO
the proponents of reservations to the
league of nations covenant. They
were very much concerned over the
prospect of having to resist the pres
sure of big business in this coun-
try. anxious to get into the trailing
with Germany. and probably Jealous
of England and France getting a lead
in the deal. Under the Interpretation
of the modification of the embargo
plan, no such contingency will now
arise, and the Senate can proceed to
discussion of the treaty at leisure.
There still will remain the spur to
speedy action on the treaty presented
by the contingency of many of the
war acts dependent on declaration of
peace, including wartime prohibition,
which hangs upon rehabilitation. But
to all intents and purposes, it is eX-
planned, the lifting of the embargo
will mark the end of the war for COM
MERGE and financial business.

Stipulations as to Blockade.
The official notification to Germany
that the blockade will not be raised
until the treaty is ratified by Germany
was in the form of a resolution adopt
ed by the council of four and pre-
scented to the German delegation be-
fore its departure for Berlin. The
resolution is as follows:
THE superior blockade council is
instructed to base it's arrangements
for resembling restriction upon trade
with Germany on the assumption that
the allied and associated powers will
not wait to raise the blockade until
the completion of ratifica ton, as pro-
vided for at the end of the treaty with
Germany, but that it is to be raised
Immediately upon receipt of Informal
ton that the treaty of peace has been
ratified by Germany"
Seen as Sure Plan.
Conditioning the raising Of the
blockade upon Germany's ratification
of the treaty is regarded in confer
ence circles as sure plan for Secu-
ing a speedy ratification because of
Germany's food and raw material
needs.
AS Russia was practically blockaded
as a result of the blockade against
the central powers, the opinion is held
that when the blockade against them
ceases there will lie no blockade
against Russia However, soviet
Russia's lack of credit and inability
to make financial arrangements is
looked upon by financial advisers con-
nected with the conference a bar
to Russia's resumption of trade on a
large scale.
Interallied Council Again.
(Havas).-The council of the peace
conference it is understood, Will
again take the form Of an interallied
supreme council, in which each OF
the great powers will be represented
by two delegates.

will be formed as follows: Premier
Clemenceau and Foreign Minister
Pichon for France, Secretary of State
Lansing and Col. Edward NJ. House
for the United States. Foreign Minis

CHANGE OF PLAN FAVORS
OPPONENTS OF LEAGUE
Senators See Opportunity for DELHI
crate Consideration of Covenant
Through Lifting Trade Embargo.

Those senators, democrats as we'll
as republicans. who are intent upon
attaching reservations to the COW
enant of the league of nations en-
bodied in the peace treaty with Ger
many, are encouraged to expect more
deliberate consideration of the treaty
by reason of the announced change
in plan for reopening comm ercial in
tercourse with Germany.
The first proposition was of a ma
ture which would have deferred the
United States from resuming business
until the treaty was ratified by the
Senate, but with England and France
trading freely in the meantime.
Such a situation would have had
the effect of bringing commercial
pressure to bear upon the Senate for
immediate ratification of the treaty.

Modified Provision.

Under the modified plan, as soon as
Germany's legislative body ratifies the
treaty, the embargo will be lifted and
all the allied and associated powers
may resume business with the Ger
man people.
The official announcement 'to this
effect says: THE superior blockade
council is instructed to base it's ar
engagements for resembling restriction
upon trade with Germany on the as
sumption that the allied and as
ISOLATED powers will not wait to
raise the blockade until the compile
ton of ratification, as provided for
at the end of the treaty with Ger
many. but that it is to be raised i'm
mediately upon receipt of informa-
ton that the treaty of peace has

DECREE IS APPEALED
I. W1EI.AAND APPEALS FROM
DECISION MAKING ADOPTED
CHILDREN HEIRS,

Whether the two adopted children
Of the late Ernest H. Wieland are the
sole heirs to his property or whether a
cousin, Herman Wieland, to whom the
property was willed, is the heir, will
probably be determined at the Novem-
ber term of district court, Herman
Wieland, administrator Of the estate
having appealed from the decision Of
Probate Judge Kemp, who in making
the final account and distribution Of the
estate, issued a. decree that the two
adopted children, Ernest H. Wieland
and Anna Amelia Peterson, since re-
adopted by another family, are the sole
heirs to the property.
Ernest H. Wieland, in his will, gave
all his property to Herman Wieland,
who claims to be his cousin. The two
children, both of whom are minors, had
previously been taken back by the in
stitution and he claimed that they no
longer had any right to his property.
Following his death Herman. Wieland
had the will probated and he was made
administrator Of the estate. At the
hearing on final account and .distribu-
tion Judge Kemp made the decree as
above stated. Recently Herman VIE
land, through his attorney filed notice
of appeal to- district court, claiming
that he is the sole and, rightful heir.

Time, September 10 to 20, Minnesota s
farmers will, obtain 100000 bushels OF
seed corn as a means of insuring the

BUTTER IS SEIZED
CHAS. KIEWEL OF CROOKSTON,
FORMERLY OF THIS CITY, Is
OWNER OF PRODUCT.

Pioneer-Press (20): Eighteen thous-
and pounds Of butter owned by Charles
p. Kiewel Of Crookston, was seized in
st. Paul late yesterday by order of
United States Marshal Joseph Vessel,
and will be held by the government
while Kiewel answers to charge of
boarding.
The seizure was made under libel
proceedings begun by Alfred Jaques,
United States district attorney, who
acted On evidence obtained by T. E.
Campbell, special agent of the Depart
ment Of Justice.
If the charges Of boarding are sus-
tanned, the butter will be ordered sold
to the public by the court. The method
Of selling will be determined by the
judge handling the case, it is said. It
is believed the food could be ordered
sold in small quantities so that the
consumers would receive some benefit.
Kiewel is cashier of bank at
Crookston, and is also said to be inter
ested in a creamery there. Mr.. Camp
bell believes Kiewel was not acting fol
the creamery when he sent the butter
to st. Paul on July %, but was storing
the food as a personal speculation ii
violation Of the Lever act. According
to reports, Kiewel has similar amount
of butter in storage in Chicago.
It is probable the case will come be
fore the court Monday.

SEWER
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS SUG-
GESTS LAYING SEVERAL
SEWERS AT ONCE.

At meeting of the board Of public
works held Wednesday evenings was
decided to recommend to the council
that steps be taken at once for laying
of several sanitary sewers in this city.
The recommendations were submitted
to the council at it's meeting last nig INT
but as the council meeting took place
after press time particulars cannot be
given in this issue.
The board recommended building one
block of sewer on Second street south
east between Broadway and First av-
enue to connect with the Second. street
sewer; two blocks of sewer on Third
street from First avenues northeast to
First avenue southeast; extension OF
the Broadway sewer from Wood street
to the Broadway BRIDGE; charging OF
the sewer on Third avenue south be-
tween First and Third streets from
l2-inch sewer to 20-inch and laying
Of an 18-inch sewer on this avenue
from Third to Fifth street.
Regarding the proposed sewer on tho
West side the board recommended that
same be built as soon as the city can
finance same, which will probably be
next spring, if the proposed charter
amendments which are to be submitted
this fall, carry.
No action was taken at this time on
the proposed Fourth avenue northeast
sewer. Speedy action on the sewers
recommended by the board is needed IN
order that the city may proceed with
paving next spring as these sewers
must be in before any paving is done,
particularly the Second street and
Rroadwav sewers.
