My information from the war depart ment is that there are still million men in the service under the emergency call. It is clear therefore, that the fail ure of congress to act on the sug gestion contained in my message of the 20th of May, 1919, asking for repeal of the act of November 21. 1918, so far as it applies to wines and beer, makes it impossible to act in this matter at this time.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-President Wilson has decided he cannot legally lift the war time prohibition ban before the country goes dry at midnight Mon day but he expected to do so as soon thereafter as his power has been made clear by the completion of demobiliza tion.
 In a cablegram made public tonight a. the White House, the president said he was convinced after consultation with his legal advisers that he had no authority to act at this time.
 ''When demobilization is terminated" |" he continued, my power 10 act without congressional action will be exercised" /" The message expressed no opinion as to the authority of the president. when he raises the ban, to make his action applicable only to beer and wine.
 Secretary Tumulty gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 The secretary to the president at the White House today made public the following cable from the president, with reference to war time prohibitions.
 "I am convinced that the attorney l general is right in advising me that | have no legal power at this time in the matter of the ban on liquor.

 The statement says the peace con- ference. through official channels, deny any action on the part of China which would make it possible to reopen the Shantung question. After failing in all earnest attempts at conciliation' V says the statement and after seeing every honorable compromise rejected, the Chinese delegation had no course open save to adhere to the path of duty to their country,
 Rather than accept, by their sig natures, the Shantung articles in the treaty, against which their sense of right and justice initiated, they re- trained from signing the treaty alto gether The Chinese plenipotentiaries regret having to take a course which appears to mar the solidarity of the allied and associated powers. How ever they are firmly of the opinion that responsibility for this rests not with themselves, who had no other honorable course, but rather with those who, it is felt, unjustly and unneceS- sarily deprived them of the right of making a declaration to safeguard against and trepidation which might preclude China from asking for recon sideration of the Shantung question at a suitable moment in the future, in the hope that the injustice to China might be rectified later in the interest of permanent peace in the far east.

CHINA CLAIMS JUSTICE MT DUNE HER
 DELEGATES REFUSE II SIGN THE TREATY

PARIS, June 2S.-(By the Associated Press)-China's refusal to sign the peace treaty came after repeated eff forts of the Chinese delegation to ob- tain permission to sign with reserva- tions on the Shantung settlement
 President Wilson was appealed to by the Chinese delegation several times within the past week, and at first seemed inclined to favor allowing the Chinese to attach their signatures with reservations Finally. however. he concurred in the decision of the con ference, that the Chinese might make 8 declaration on their position after signature, but not before.
 This was regarded by the delegation as not protecting Chinas rights. The Chinese refused to sign and are await ing further orders from Peking.
 The Chinese delegation issued an of ficial statement tonight, reviewing its protest against the Shantung settle ment, made to the council of prime ministers May 4. and it's reservation on the same question. made in the plenary session of the peace confer ence May 6, against the transfer of German rights in Shantung to Japan instead of to China.
 The statement says the action of the conference on Shantung evoked a nation wide protest in China, which makes it impossible for the Chinese government to accept the objection able clause in the treaty. The Chinese delegations proposal was that it write in the treaty, above it's signature, sub ject to reservation made at the plen-

Mr.. Wilson to XIII
Dry Enforcement

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The United
States Brewers Association today pc
titoncd President Wilson to disap-
prove the prohibition enforcement bill
awaiting his signature and recon-
mcnded a new bill, providing for en-
forcemcnt Of the prohibition constitu-
tlonal amendment only.
In the accompanying bffcf the brew
crs renewed their contention that Con-
gress has mo constitutional authority
to enact any presently enforceable pro-
hlbltion law, except as a measure die
tatcd by war emergency or necessity"
as there is now no way emergency. The
opinion is signed by Elihu Root, Will
lam d. Guthrie and William L. Mar
bury, counsel, and contends that beer
containing 2.75 per cent Of alcohol by
weight is not Intoxicating.
The prohibition enforcement bill was
signed to-day by Vice President Mar
shall and Speaker Gilett for immediate
transmission to President Wilson, The
President will have ten days to sign
it. Should he fail to act within that
time, it automatically would become a
law without his signature.
Announcement was made at the
White House that the bill would be re-
ferred to Attorney General Palmer for
an opinion as to its onstitutionality
before any executive action was taken.

Enforcement Act Because
Politicians Would Have

The National Civil Service Reform
League yesterday requested President
Wilson to veto the prohibition enforce

ton tc national prohibition, but be-
cause rider to the bill provides for
the administration of its provisions
by political appointees exempt from
civil service regulations. Three and a
half millions are appropriated by the
bill, and with the civil service exemp-
tion clause, the measure will permit
political spolsmen free sway, the
league asserts.
"The worst thing that could happen
in the entire history of prohibition is
a political enforcement of this sump-
tuary law,D says a tatement~from the
league. "The result will be incom-
potency, frequently favoritsm, and oc-
casionally blackmail. Patronage ap-
pointees in the administration of the

Court Tells Grand Jury
To Study Pay of Police
Financial Claims Of Firemen
Also To BE Investigated Un-
der Tudce Wadhun1s's CHARGE

Facts and statistics regarding the
lack Of recruits for the New York
police force, published recently by
The Tribune, in an interview with
Joseph I. Stengel secretary of the
Civil Service Commission, were quoted
yesterday by Judge William H. Wad-
hams in the Court of General Ses-
sions, in the course Of charge to the
regular October Grand Jury. Judge
Wadhams charged the grand jury to
investigate the conditions surrounding
the firemen and patrolmen and to
make presentment regarding the
amount of salaries which it found ade-
quate as compensation for the men of
these departments.
Judge Wadhams declared himself in
favor of the increase to $780, $1,000
and $4,000. He warmly commended the
men of both services, and particularly
praised the Patrolmen's Benevolent
Association for its stand in opposition
to the efforts of certain union labor
organizers. Lack of a proper recogni-
! ton of the services rendered by the
patrolmen would lead inevitably to a
lessening of the morale of the depart
ment, Judge Wadhams said.
"The police force has never failed
the city" said Judge Wadhams. 1--WE
have recently had the spectacle of q
police strike in the city of Boston,
where the police force, in order to Sc
cure wages which they deemed neces-
! sary to maintain mseves, under
took to strike. 1t is perfectly clear
that an organized government cannot
tolerate a strike on the part of it's
public officers, and the reason for that
is obvious.
$50 am asking you to look into the
question Of salaries Of patrolmen and
hremen for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether or not their salaries
should be increased. The police should
be so paid as to induce the kind of
young men we ought to have in the
department to enter it, Unless these
men are adequately paid, it necessarily
means that the morale of the police
force will be undermined"
Hylan Answers Charges
Mayor Hylan last evening issued a
statement in which he answered the
charges involved in Judge Wadhams's
/ statement to the Grand Jury. lie
sa.d:
"In regard to Judge Wadhams's
reference to the pay to New ork police
and fremen, | Iwish to say that it is
not a'proper matter to be presented to
the grand jury which Judge Wadhams
knows better than anybody else Tn :,
police, tircmen and other employees Of
the city have been treated fairly and
| regret that we cannot do even more
for them.
ut is q very easy matter, and very
popular, to tell q public official what
to DO with the peoples money Moth
ing pleases the financial interests and
traction scent fare crowd more than
to sec the finances Of the city in a
most embarrassing condition."
District Attorney Swami also said
there is no warrant of law for the
grand jury to inquire into the rate Of
wages of policemen or fremen. They
are no more qualified to do that than
any other body of men,
