WAR PROHIBITION
CONSTITUTIONAL
Continued from page ]

Gates that the court thinks the period
between the time war time prohibit
ton was passed. on November II,
1918, and the date 1t went into Ell
feet. July /, 1919, was ample to dis
pose of these stocks, and in addition
pointed out that the liquor can be ex
ported.
I'VE cannot say that seven months
and nine DAYS was not a reasonable
time" Justice Brandies said.
Regarding whether the war time
emergency has passed. the court held
that the statement OF the president
that the war is over does not const1-
tute proclamation OF peace Neither
has rehabilitation been completed,
the court held. referring to state
ment OF Secretary OF War Baker on
December that the army was "a
per cent demobiliZed.
sit is clear. at least probable. that
the reason why the president did not
declare rehabilitation complete,
though not favorable to the continu-
ance OF the law, was that he felt
he could not accurately and legally SO
state Bran6eis said. There is no
basis for the contention that the
Presidents words Tetoing the Vol
stead act constitute proclamation.

With Tie declaration that lit is clear

that Il this view were accepted ii
would repeal all state prohibition
Laws. since the constitution is bind
ing upon all the states.
In conclusion, the court fatty de
clared that only the proclamation OF
peace can officially end the war in
the legal sense OF the prohibition
law.
The armistice and the signing Of
the peace treaty at Versailles, the
court definitely declared. do not con-
stitute the conclusion Of the war.
Conclusion OF the war clearly
/: did not mean cessation OF hostilities.
because the act was approved ten
days after the arnistice was signed
Brandeis concluded.
The opinion follows in part:
-Four contentious are made in sup
port OF the relief prayed for:
THAT the act was void when en-
acted because it violated the fifth
amendment:
+2-That it became void before the
suits were brought 3y reason OF the
passing OF the war emergency;
"3-That II was abrogated Or replac-
ed by the eighteenth amendment;
THAT by its own terms it expir-
ed before the commencement OF these
suits. These contentious will not be
considered in their order.
"FIrst-Is the act void because 1t
takes private property for public nur-
pose without compensation in viola
ton OF the fifth amendment
"The contention is this: The con-
stitution did not confer police power
upon congress. Its power to regulate
the liquor traffic must therefore be
sought for in the implied war powers;
that Is. the power TO make all laws
necessary and proper. for carrying in
to execution the war powers express

A SHORTAGE OF
CHORUS GIRLS
In England, According To Some Of
The Theatrical Agents And Stage
Managers.
Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 28-England is ex-
periencing shortage of chorus girls,
according to some theatrical agents,
and stage managers. Plenty of young
women are still anxious to get into
the lime-light, but experienced girls
are said to be far less plentiful than
they were One theatrical agent has
explained the situation thus:
During the war large number
of chorus girls show girls, and small
part ladies' left the stage for other
work. Some are remaining in it per-
manently; others have not yet come
back to the theater.
Many girls, too, were married to
officers. during the war, and have now
no need or inclination to go back to
the stage. The lack of first-class
show girls for the provincial panto-
mines is becoming particularly acute.
It is almost impossible to get them
to go out Of London. Even salaries
Of four pounds are not tempting
them.
