REHABILITATION ENDS,
SAYS WAR DEP ARTMENT,
BUT NOT PROHIBITION

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Although the
war department declared in statement
today that "the accidents Of war and
the progress Of rehabilitation are at an
end" wartime prohibition cannot be
lifted until after ratification Of the
peace treaty, in the opinion Of Attor-
ney General Palmer,
The prohibition law provides that it
shall remain in force until after the
termination of the war and the demob-
ilization Of the army. Mr. Palmer has
held that the state of war does not end
until the peace treaty has been ratified.
President Wilson took a similar posi-
ton in asking congress early in the
year to repeal the wartime prohibition
law in so far rs it affected light wines
and beer.
The war departments statement as
to the end of demobiliziation was made
in connection with an announcement
that officers Of the regular army were
about to be returned to their normal
peace time rank, and that the 10000
emergency officers still in the service
must be discharged to reduce the com.
missioned personnel OF the $4,000 au-
thori2ed by a recent act of congress.

Gratis, the resolution caused a lively
row in which Senator Hitchcock, demo-
crat, Nebraska, charged the republicans
with "heckling" President Wilson and
also with deliberately filibustering to
delay action on the peace treaty. Re-
publican Leader Lodge denied there
had been any filibusterng on the treaty
