WILSON TO KN0ek
 OUT PROHIBITION ACT
Will Declare bilisation Complete and Ferestall July l DrOuth.
 PrOhis Dissatisfied.

Washington, June 8.--Advocates 8. of the proposal to repeal the wartime prohibition act were much encouraged yesterday by an unconfirmcd report that President Wilson will soon issue "a proclamation declaring that demo- Utilization of the army has been com pleted. This action on the part of the present would prevent the war time dry law from becoming effective July l.
 The report was that the president had been advised of the strong sent ment in Congress against the repeal and that he had determined to ex- ercise the authority granted him un- der the law to nullify the July act. Justification for this course is soon by the vets in the announcement of General March, chief of staff, today that the last of the drafted and Ma tional Guard men have been started homeward from France and that only regulars remain abroad.
 The statement of Representative Fitzgerald of Massachusetts to the house judiciary committee Thursday that he had been informed by the War Department that demobilizationr of combatant troops will have been com pleted by June 12,- also was pointed to by the vets as further reason why the need for war time prohibition will have ceased before the date for it to become operative.
 The vets claim to have found in the military law still further .justifica- tion of the presidents action in case he should declare demobilization come plete. The military interpretation of the terms mobilization they say, is Concentration of military forces for active operations in the field"
 The present status of the military establishment with the last of the -d4Aited men now on the way home does not conform with that interpre- tati6n, the vets contend.
