HOUSE STORAGE OF
 rLIQUOR PERMITTED
House Judiciary Committee So / Rules at Meeting

Washington, June 25.--A mans right to store liquor in his home TOT the dry period after July 1, stood up yesterday against an attack on that provision of the prohibition enforce ,nnent bill before the house judiciary committee.
 Near the end of an all-day session the committee voted down an amend ment which would have made 1t un- lawful for a citizen to have liquor m his possession; struck out a section which would have presented use by a citizen of liquor in his priVato dwelling, and decided that in the mat ter of general enforcement there would be no difference between war time and constitutional prohibition.
 Bill Is AIl-Embracing.
 Even with this and other changes the bill, as it will be reported out today and tomorrow. Is considered as , alI- I-embracing. So drastic arc it's provisions, members of the committee said, that while a man may put keg of beer in his cellar he may be con- y4cted and fined if for instance, he wears a watch fob on which there is a picture of the l1eg as an advertise ment.
 In a general consideration of the m easure the committee made a num- Der of minor changes, but the prlnCl- pal fight was over the question or the right of home storage for personal use. Representative Morgan, repub- lican, of Oklahoma, endeavored to have stricken out the section reading tlf3t "it shall not be unlawful to pos sess liquor in ones private dwelling while the same is occupied and used by him only as his dwelling
 Ardent prohibitionists on the com mtttee voted against the Morgan pro- posal for the reason. they said that nothing was to be gained by enactlng a law so drastic as to arouse the hos tility of people who rejoiced that the day of the saloon had ended. Prohi- bition members supported an amend Inent eliminating the proviso that the liquor must be obtained and placed in storage prior to date the act would

AMERICANS MAROONED

Heavy Shows Interrupts Traffic on Mountain Railroads and People
 Cannot Travel We'll

Buenos Aires, June 24.--Hundreds of American business men who are in this city are unable to leave for home because of the lack of shipping and the Interruption of the trans Andean railway. Heavy snows this week again stopped the mule train which has been the connecting link between the points where the line is either blocked or swept away and which has provided the only means of egress from BuenoS Aires to the United States. Shipping lines operating to New York have long waiting lists and are not promising accommodations European lines are sold out until November.
 More than 100 men and women recently slept on the floor of station at the end of the Argentina railroad on the Bolivian frontier because they were unable to get transportation across the gap to the point where the Bolivian section of Pan-A American railway commences. This has dis couraged efforts of people to leave Buenos Aires by way of La Paz and Lima. The halting of the trans Andean mule train has also left many who were part way up the Andes with out means of going forward.

 Gard Tries to Amend Bill.
 Representative Gard, democrat of Ohio, led the fight to strike from the bill the word use" as applied to the right of home consum ption His mo- ton to amend also included the strik~ ing out of tho words give away" "rCceivc" and possess but the com mittee insisted that these should stand l was said there was no par ticular fight on Mir. Cards proposal, and as amended the section stands:
 That no person shall on or after the date when the 18th amendment to the constitution of the United States goes into effect. nor while the war prohibition act shall be in force, manufacture, sell, barter, give away, transport, import export, deliver, furnish, receive or possess any intox- icating liquor except as authorized in this act and all the provisions of this act shall be literally construed to the end that intoxicating liquor as beverage may be prohibited. Liquor for non-beVeragc purposes and wine for sacramental purposes may be pur- chased, sold transported and used as herein provided"
 Bill Defines Intoxicant.
 Every person legally permitted to have liquor is required to report to the proper authorities within 10 days after the passage of the act and pos session after that date ''by any per son not legally permitted under this title to possess liquors" shall be re- garded as evidence that it is kept for purposes of sale. This, however, does not apply to home stocks.
 The bills definition of what is in- toxicating liquor-any beverage or product containing more than one half of one per cent alcohOl-WaS re- tained. It was said that members of the committee discussed this section at length some contcnding that if one congress undertook to define intoXi- eating liquors as onc-half of one per cent, another congress could come along and make it per cent or any figure 1t chose. There was just dan ger, members said that prohibition would get into politics.
 Representative Gard appointed last year with Chairman Volstead and Representative Whaley of South Car olina to draw up a bill for enforce ment Of wartime prohibition, en- deavored to have the committee sub- stitute his bill. Chairman Volstead ruled against a motion to this effect and was sustained. It was said that the wartime measure was more lib- eral in its provisions, but as the com mittee had refused to separate war time and constitutional prohibition, it was unwilling. mem bers explained, to 1 make any distinction in the matter of i enforcement.

Berlin, June 24, (By Associated Press .)--Long accounts written for the Berlin papers by correspondents at Weimar telling of events preceding the decision Of the German government to sign the peace treaty show that there was a threat by generals and officers of the volunteer troops to quit if the treaty was signed without reservations Gustav Noslle, minister of defense. preferred his resignation but later succeeded in appeasing the officers He then withdrew his resignation un- der pressure from his party and cabi net ministers.
 Feeling among military leaders is still running high. notwithstanding the fact that they are admonshing the troops to continue in the service. Ma ior Gen. Baron von Luettwitz, in a special call, rciterates his opposition to the peace terms while Major von Gilsa, Herr Noskes adjutant, has an- nounced that Prussian War Minister Rcinhart will endeavor to defend the menaced honor of the army and it's leaders by the adoption of special measures He will confer with Herr Noske today.
 Correspondents at Weimar are unanimous in tho belief that the pres tige of Matthias Erzberger has been damaged because of his mysterious. but emphatic assurances that the En- tente would be willing to yield on the honor issue which failed to material
