ASKS BOYCOTT
OF ALL PR0FITEERS
Acknowledgement Tells Women to
Buy actual Necessities Only"
Until Prices Come Down.

Chicago-Attorney General Palmer
pledged the full power of the depart
ment of justice in the prosecution of
hoarders and profiteers in a talk to
400 officials and club women of Hi
nois. He outlined a program of his
department in combating the high cost
of living.
Explaining the plan Of action where
by fair price committees in every COM
munity become agents of the federal
government in enforcing its DEGREES,
Mr.. Palmer laid down five conserva-
tons which, if carried out, would do
much to deal deathblow to the high
cost of living. They are:
l. Organization of fair price COM
mittees in every city and county, back
ed by mayors and prosecuting attor-
neys, with the committees supporting
United States district attorneys.
2. Organization of women to refuse
to buy anything but actual necessities
until prices come down.
3. Holding of conservation" and
economy meetings in every community
under the auspices of civic bodies
f. Influence of mayors and prose-
cutors to be brought to bear on the
warning element to prevent fractional
disturbances in industry and particu-
larry to bring about an industrial peace
of at least six months duration.
s. Rehabilitation of the four min
Ute men to deliver work and save"
addresses in theaters each night.
Mr.. Palmer said:
Despite all objections and obsta-
Giles, l propose to go through with this
campaign If industrial conditions do
not get worse in the next few months
we can bring real relief"
The wage earners were in the class
of the rich in that their incomes as a
rule had kept pace with the rapidly
mounting cost of living, Mr.. Palmer
added. The salaried worker was the
man who had felt the full brunt of
higher costs because he had been the
last to obtain relief.

WILSON ISSUES new
TREATY DEFIANCE
White House Statement Says
President Will Not Seek Com
promise With Senate.

Washington.-Presi Wilson in
tervened in the peace treaty dilemma
with an announcement that he had mo
compromise or concession of any kind
in mind" would make no move toward
the treaty's disposition and would con-
tinue to hold the Republican members
of the senate responsible for results
and conditions attending delays.
The Presidents position, regarded
as peculiarly significant in view or
the recent discussion in the senate of
a compromise, was set forth in the fol-
lowing statement issued from the
White House,
at was learned from the highest
authority at the executive offices that
the hope of the Republican leaders of
the senate that the President would
presently make some move which will
relieve the situation with regard to the
treaty is entirely without foundation.
He has no compromise or concession of
any kind in mind, and intends, so far
as he is concerned, that the Republican
leaders of the senate shall continue to
bear the undivided responsibility for
the fate of the treaty and the present
condition of the world in consequence
of that fate"
The White Hbuse statement appar-
el ly had no effect in changing the
'tra4ty situation. Democratic leaders,
indorsing the Presidents views, de-
clared that it did not preclude a sen
ate compromise and that compromise
efforts would proceed. Republican
leaders reiterated that the President
was responsible for the present status
and must make the first move toward
solution. Senators hoping TO kill the
treaty alone expressed satisfaction.
On one point only, apparently, were
all senate factions in harmony-name-
ly, that decisive action on the treaty
probably would be deferred until next
month, after the proposed holiday re-
cess of Congress, planned to end Janu-
airy 5. Senate debate, probably cen
tered about the White House state
ment, is expected to be reopened with
fresh vigor. The Democratic compro-
mise campaign also is to be pressed,
according to Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, administration leader, but I'M
less some unexpected development this
week ensues the leaders believe the
finale cannot be reached until next
month.
Senator Hitchcock, commenting on
the White House statement, declared
that the Democrats would continue eff
forts for compromising the reserva-
lions and that the senate and not the
President must act first.

PITH OF THE
VICTORY NEWS

Senator Underwood of Alabama has
against Senator Hitchcock of Me-
braska for leadership of the Demo-
cratic minority in the senate. His
platform is for peace, even If the
League of Nations has to be thrown
out of the treaty.
Official promuIgation Of peace before
the new year is expected in London,
but it is feared that this may be only
the beginning of deeper troubles, as
it will be hard to make the League
of Nations work without America,
whose abstention gives Germany a
pretext for perpetual pickering.
Only revolt by senate Democrats
against President Wilson's leader
ship can bring about ratification of
the peace treaty, the Republicans
having taken the stand that they will
not listen to Senator Hitchcoek's talk
of compromise unless the President
says he will accept it.

Washington.-The wartime prohibit
ton law was declared constitutional
by the United States Supreme Court in
a unanimous decision rendered by
Associate Justice Brandeis.
Besides affirming the legality of the
wartime measure, the court definitely
fixed the responsibility for declaring
rehabilitation of the country's mill
tary forces complete and the war at
an end, which Congress and the White
House have been shutting back and
forth since the law became effective.
The decision puts it squarely up to
the President.
The decision of the court means that
the President has the exclusive power
to grant a reprieve to liquor before the
national prohibition amendment be-
comes effective January 16. A Presi
dental proclamation declaring demob-
ilization complete is all that is neces-
sary, the court declares, although it
questions whether the President would
be warranted technically In taking
such action, the court making the
point that rehabilitation has not been
effected. -,--The annual report. of the
secretary of war, which shows that
rehabilitation is still in process, was
cited to prove this contention.
The court did not hand down a de-
cison on the cases affecting the con-
stitutionality Of the legislation adopt
ed for the enforcement of the war
time act, nor on those questioning the
right of Congress to declare a bever-
age containing 2.75 per cent of alcohol
Intoxicating.
The Supreme Courts decision was
based on the appeals filed by the inter-
nal revenue commissioner of Kentucky
against the decision of the District
Court of Kentucky in declaring the
wartime bill unconstitutional in the
governments case against the Ken
lucky Distilleries Warehouse Com
pany and that of the New York firm
of Dryfees, Blum & Company from the
decision of the District Court of New
York upholdIng the validity of the
act. AS the cases were practically
identical with the exception that one
questioned while the other confirmed
the legality of the act, the court COW
cred both in its decision.
The liquor intrests, in arguing their
cases before the coUrt in November.
contended that the wartime act was
unconstitutional in that Congress lad
no right to prohibit the sale of in
toxicants within a state because its
wartime powers had ceased when the
prohibitory legislation was enacted. 1t
was commended, further, that the act
confiicted with the Fifth Constitutional
Amendment governing the seizure of
private property without just compen-
sation and that the law was inoperu-
tive because the war had ended.
The decision admits that the state
ments of the President which were
presented by the defendants may have
adduced the belief that the war was at
an end, but there has been no official
proclamation to that effect. On the
other hand to show that the war tech
nically is still on, the court pointed out
that the senate has failed to ratify the
peace treaty that the government is
continuing to control the railroads, and
the grain and wheat flour and fuel sup
plies of the country under it's var
powers, and that American troops re-
main abroad

quaint native villages, with all the
atmosphere of ancient Hawaii: ana
miles of gigantic trees, ferns art
forests of other tropical plants and
trees. Hawaii, geographically, is the
youngest of the group of islands
which take it's name, and is the only
island which still has active vol
canoes.
Kilauea, the volcano, is on the
slope of Mauna Loa, a mountain peak
towering 1855 feet, at an elevation
of nearly 1000 feet above sea level.
The main crater is nearly eight miles
in circumference and 600 feet deep,
inclosing an area of 1850 acres,s a
solicited sea of lava which takes
most fantastic shapes. In the center
of this vast sink in the mountain
slope is Halemaumau, or "the house
of everlasting fire." great pit over
1000 feet in diameter where churns
and boils sea of liquid rock, with
waves and pillows of white-hot lava
eternally tearing at the combining
walls.
The molten lava of the central fire
pit rises and falls at certain periods
of the year, sometimes falling 600
feet or more below the rim and at
other times rising until the fluid rock
gushes in great streams over the floor
of the main crater In recent weeks
the volcano has been particularly &C
tive, and Secretary Daniels and his
companions found much to interest
them.
Near the crater of Kilauea is a
sandy plain, covered with huge
boulders vomited up in the eruption of
1890. It was here that the army of
King Keoua of Kau was destroyed by
this eruption when on it's way to at
tack the forces of Kamehameha the
Great, who made himself the first
king of all the islands. This historic
plain was travelled by Mr.. Daniels and
his party on the way to the fire pit
of the volcano. In modern times no
one has lost his life at Kilauea.

DANIELS VISIT
ISLANDS OF
SOUTHERN SEA
Naval Drydock Dedicated and
Trips Around Tropical
Country Enjoyed by
Navy Secretary

HONOLULU, Aug. 20 (by maiD.-|
Secretary of the Navy Josephus DAN
iels, who came to Hawaii for the ded-
ication of the great Pearl Harbor
naval drydock, and officers of the
battleship New York and destroyers
Chauncey, Dent, Philip and Waters,
which brought him here from Cali
fornia, today saw all phases Of Ha-
waiian life and industry in an auto
mobile ride around the island" of
Aahu, a 9O-mile drive famous the
world over.
From the modern skyscrapers of
Honolulu, the visitors in a few hours
were whisked to tiny villages where
natives still live in grass huts, used
in Hawaii for 1900 years; they passed
the royal mausoleum where lie the
bones Of many of Hawaii's native
rulers; they drove through tens of
thousands of acres of growing sugar
cane and through enormous pineapple
plantations.
Leaving Honolulu the motor cars
for six miles climbed up Nuuanu val
ley, which terminates abruptly at the
Pail in narrow cash with towering
mountains on either side with a sheer
drop of 1900 feet to the pineapple
fields on the plains. A wonderful
panorama of land and sea is dis
closed without an instant's warning.
The greatest event in Hawaiian
history occurred at the Pail When
Kamehameha the Great invaded Oaku
from his own realm Hawaii, in 1895,
his warriors engaged the army of the
king of Oahu in Nuuanu valley. After
a desperate encounter the Cahuans
fed in wild rout up the valley, the
HaWaiians closely pursuing. Rather
than surrender thousands of Cahuans
plunged over the Pail to instant
death. A bronze tablet at the Pail
tells the story Of Kamehameha's vic
tory, which resulted in the unifca-
ton of the islands of Hawaii and the
foundation of the Kamehameha dy- !
nasty, a succession of kings and
queens ruling the group until Queen
LiliuOkalani was deposed in 1898, |
when a republic was established. An
neXatiOn to the United States fol
lowed in 1898.
The trip took the party to Laie, |
the Mormon settlement, where a mag
nificent new temple was recently com |
pleted. Here some 500 native con-
Verts to the Church of Jesus Christ |
Of Latter Day Saints work big sugar
plantation and railroad, the property |
of the church. A visit was paid to |
Schofeld Barracks, the largest mill
tary reservation in Hawaii, where &C
commOdations are available for 10000 |
troops.
