The presidents statement was accept
ed as precluding any likelihood that

pCdicncy.
The two letters to Mr. Hays. copies Of
which were received here today, do moi
outline definitely the six interpretations
suggested by Mr.. Taft. but they arc re-
ferrcd to as having been contained in
previous unpublished communication.
These six stipulations arc understood TO
be substantially as follows:
Taft's Suggestions.
!. That upon two years notice the
United States could cease to be a mem
Der of the league without having the
league pass upon whether she had full
filled all her obligations under the cove
nant.
2. That self-governed colonies and do
miions could not be represented upon tho
league council at the same time with the
mother government. or be included III
any of those clauses where the lertics
To the dispute arc excluded from its sell
Element
3. That the functioning Of the council
under article 10 shall be advisory only,
and that each member shall be left free
TO determine questions OF war in its own
way. the decision Of the United States
resting with congress.
4. That differences between the ma
lions regarding immigration. the tariff
and other domestic questions shall not
be left to the league for settlement.
5. That the Monroe doctrine is TO DO
reserved for administration by the
United States
6. That the United States reserves the
right to withdraw Internationally e.;
the end OF ten years. or at least to ter
inmate then her obligation under arti-
Gle 10.
Won't Weaken Covenant.
These interpretations. Mr.. Taft wrote.
could be made without weakening the
covenant. The argument of adminiStra-
ton senators against inclusion of any
such provisions in the ratification has
been. however. that any qualification AT
the other nations and encourage them to
adopt reservations.
1t Is known that in his white house
conferences with Republicans the pres
idcnt has emphasized this argument.
though he has been told by some OF then:
who are friendly to the league that he
must choose between reservations or
failure Of tho entire league plan. Jus.
how much basis there might be for the
prediction that Mr. Wilson might decide
to endorse interpretive reservations did
not appear tonight, though it was re-
ported negotiations actually were under

PERMANENT MILITARY
POLICY BADLY NEEDED
Danger That Army Organiza-
tion May Become DemOral-
lied if Not Stabilized.

Washington, July 5.--The Ques-
tion Of a permanent military policy
probably will be forced before the
present session OF Congress by Sec
retary Bakers order reducing the ar
my to $4,000 officers and men by
September 20. Military experts here
believe only speedy passage of the
army reorganization bill will pre-
vent generalization of the military
establishment.
The recent army bill makes man
datory the continuance of the four
new staff corps; chemical warfare,
motor transport, tank, and air SER
yice-none of which was provided
for in the national defense act, Of
ficers and men must be drawn from
the line and from the regular staff
personnel to provide the necessary
overhead for these branches.
"a return to the status Of 1S08'
was the prediction of one officer con-
cerning the effects. In that year
companies could muster only 35
men and regiments were frequently
under the charge Of one major and
one captain.
The general staff is already at
work on some program which will
come within authorized expenditures
and yet permit the retention Of a
skeleton establishment which may be
expanded for war.
Plans for the organization of the
air service and tank corps looking to
further progress will have to go by
the board it was conceded. Services
will be active through headquarters
with repair men and guards at the
various depots.
Primary troop requirements which
must be met including; Garrisons
for the PHILIPPINES; Hawaii and the
Panama Canal, conservatively fgur-
ed at $4,000 men; guard for the
southern border now maintained at
80, 900; a force of 5000 men for ST.
IBERIA.
These total $4,000 officers and
men and do not take into considera-
tion the hundreds of small garrisons
needed at home, army posts, which
is estimated at 10000 with further
addition for the coast defense. War
Department plans approved as late
as March provided $4,000 officers
and men for the coast defenses. The
$4,000 temporary officers which
have applied for permanent commits
sions in the regular army must be
discharged forthwith because of the
i lack of money!

YES, NOBODY KNOWS
HOW DRY WE ARE.
And Nobody Seems to Give A
Tinker's Whoop Penalties
For Violation of Law.

This great country has been going
along under the new wartime pro-
hibition law for nine days, and In
some parts the drouth has been no.
ticeable and in other parts very ut
tie attention is paid to it, according
to newspaper reports.
The government has ruled that
light wines and beer containing not
more than 2 ga per cent may De
sold in certain territory, pending a
court decision.
While enforcement at present is
lodged with local authorities who are
expected to be the chief guardians
against offenders and it is believed
will discourage "bootlegging."
Sale, transportation, or possession
of intoxicating liquor, defined, as
that containing more than one-halt
of one-per cent alcohol, is made un-
lawful.
The law covers all compounds and
preparations whether proprietary,
patented or not which are potable
and which are capable or suitable
for being used as a beverage"
Vessels, furniture or vehicles used
in the sale or transportation OF in
toxicating liquor are declared by the
act to be common nuisances" and
subject to confiscation and destruc-
ton. Power to search houses, build
ings, vehicles, boats or others places
and to seize intoxicating liquor is
authorized by the statute, provided,
however, no warrant shall be issued
to search private dwelling occupied
as such unless such warrant is sign
ed by two judges and unless such
residence is a place of public resort,
or intoxicating liquor is sold or kept
for sale in violation of the law"
Druggists who sell intoxicants,
except as the law sets up, will be
subject for the first offense to a fine
of from $400 to $500 and Jail SEN
tence of from 80 days to one year;
second offense, revocation of certifi-
cate to practice pharmacy for two
years in addition to the lne and jail
sentences; third offense, a fne OF
from $500 to $1,000, penitentiary
term of from one to three years and
permanent revocation of pharmacy
