that has been introduced in the House

Minnesota, giving them the right to
wear their uniforms at all times.
The measure affects those men who
have received or may receive wounds
or injuries in line of duty that have
resulted or may result in such facial
Disagreement or bodily deformity as
will be likely to cause personal en-
barrassment or disadvantage in his
business or social relations with
others"
Before wearing the uniform, how
ever, the bill provides that application
must be made to the Secretary of War
or the Secretary of the Navy, who will
fix certain regulations.
There are several hundred Of these

RULES BAN IS ONLY
ON BEER WITH KICK

NEW YORK, June 2T.-The circuit
court Of appeals decided yesterday
that the wartime prohibition act is
constitutional, that it does not apply
to all beer, but only to Intoxicating"
beer. and that Federal Judge Mayer
had no right to enjoin United States
Attorney Francis G. Caffey from prose-
cutting brewers of 2.75 per cent beer
The court dismissed the injunction
restraining Mr. Caffey from arresting
or prosecuting the brewers. lnasmuch
as Mr. Caffey has made the general
declaration in open court that any one
who violated the law would do so at
his own peril, a test case may be OK
pected any time.
Welcome Test Case.
According to Emory r. Buckner,
associated with Elihu Root and Will
lam D. Guthrie as counsel for the
brewers. they will welcome a test
case. The issue in such a case would
be the question of fact, as to whether
beer containing only 2.T5 per cent
alcohol is intoxicating. Mr.. Buckner
says the brewers are ready to submit
the evidence of doctors, chemists, and
at least fifty men and women who
were subjected to experiments, that
such beer does not intoXIcate.
Meanwhile the brewers will con-
tinue to manufacture 2.T5 per cent
beer and offer it for sale. If il is de-
cided in a test case that 2.T5 per cent
beer Is Intoxicating, any brewer who
has manufactured il after May ! is
guilty Of a crime; and any brewer
who sells it after June 80 will be
guilty OF a crime.
Brewers Win a Point.
Although the injunction against the
Federal attorney was dismissed. the
brewers won a point in that the de-
cision continued the temporary in
junction restraining Richard J. Nc
Elligott, acting and deputy collector
OF internal revenue, from interfering
with the manufacture or sale OF 10
beer. McElligott recently has been
issuing stamps on orders from Wash
ington, although at the time the suit
started they were being refused.
The general situation with regard
to wartime prohibition. which is due
at midnight Monday, indicated IL may
become effective only in part. Either

nation removing wine and beer from
