FOOD RELIEF BILL DEBATE ID BEGIN
 TODAY IN SENATE Leaders Confident of Final Vote on Measure Before Senate AdjOurns Sat-
 urday Night
By Associated Press

Washington, January 16.-De-
 bate on the administration hill ap-
 vropriatins s1OO 100000 for food
 relief in Europe and the near east
 will begin tomorrow tn the Senate
 with leaders confident of a final
 vote before adjournment Saturday
 night.
 The measure was ordered favorably reported today by the Senate appro- priations committee with but little opposition and both democfatic ard republican leaders are confident that it will be passed. Many senators, how ever,. are opposed to the appropriation and are expected to present their views on the floor of the Senate.
 Approval of the measure by the com mittee was voted after officials of ne state and treasury departments and the food administration had been ex- amined as to how the money is to be spent and the only amendments to the House bill made by the committee re- uuire itemized instead of general state ments of the expenditures to Congress.
 Officials testifying before the com mittee declared it was impossible at this time to say definitely how and where the proposed relief will be given. but they urged the necessity of speedy action on the appropriation. They said Great Britain. France and Italy already are furnishing relief to Belgium, Serbia, Syria and South Aus tria and were willing and anxious to do all they can in relieving distress and preventing the westward spread of bolshevism.

 Have Been Driven
By Associated Press

Washington, January 16.-Occcu-
 patton of Montenegro by Serbian
 troops has resulted in a revolt by
 the MontenegrOans, according to an
 official statement issued here to-
 night at the Montenegrin legation.
 Insurgents numbering about 10000
 have succeeded in occupying sever7
 al towns. from which the Serbian
 forces were driven.
 The insurgents, the announcement said have sent delegation to King Nicholas at Paris asking that American troops be sent to Montenegro to pre- serve order
 Some weeks ago the state depart ment was informed by the Montenegrin committee for national unity that a convention of representatives, duly chosen by the Montenegrin people, had met and deposed King Nicholas and voted to join the country with the federation of the Serbs. Siovenes and Croats under the Serbian dynasty. Later representatives of the assembly went to Belgrade to report this action and the country was formally accepted by the King regent as a part of Great CT Serbia
 The Montenegrin government has in- sisted and has so informed the state department that the assembly which de- posed King Nicholas was without au- thoritv as it never had been legally formed The legations statement to- night called attention to the fact that the victorious associated nations had decided that Montenegro should have g representative at the peace conference

PREPARING FOR OPENING
 px AseA-<ad 0~~se

Paris. January 16-The great Sale De La Paix at the foreign office was today being prepared for the first meeting of the peace congress, at which it is not expected that any of the large questions aside from those of organization and procedure will be considered. Except for the addresses by President Poincare and Premier Clemenceau there will be no speech making, and it is not believed the question of the league of nations or the Russian situation will be taken up: Their consideration will wait the first business session of the congress.
 With the time for the assembling of the full delegations of the conference drawing near, the question of representa- ton to be accorded all the nations ex- cept Russia has been disposed of and the remaining preliminary sessions will only have before them the work of com pleting the framing of the programme of procedure When the actual business sessions begin Sunday or Monday the conference it Is expected will be ready to plunge into it's real work-the creation of the proposed league of nations, and the making of the preliminary peace, which latter is hoped for by the early spring, even though the details will take months or years to work out. The Brit ish statesmen here as well as the Amer j ican, are beginning to feel that once the work is under way, steady progress will be made until the structure of the cuiding principles is completed They express belief the application of the de- tails will be comparatively easy.
 The Russian question, it is assumed, will command the attention of the con-

RUSSIA AND PRESS QUESTIONS BEFORE
 SUPREME COUNCIL
 MEETING THURSDAY
Russian Situation Appar- ently Will Be One of First Subjects to Be Taken Under Consideration
 at Conference
By Associated Press

Washington, January 16. The meeting of the supreme war council at the for eign office this morning, occu- pying two hours, was the only formal gathering of the peace delegates today. As summed up in the official communique the Russian situation and the conferences relations with the press were the only subjects treated.
 After the meeting, President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George, Secretary Lans- ing and MT. Balfour remained for some time in the ante-chamber of M Pichons office in earnest conversation.
 The discussion of the Russian situa- tion appears to have been confined to an agreement to exchange available in- formation, though the determination to have joint examination of the subject, as stated in the official communicate, indicates that the Russian situation will be one of the subjects to be taken under the earliest consideration.

QUESTION MOST DELICATE
 By Associated Press

Paris, January 16.-"The problem of the relations between the peace delegates and the press, that is, between the gov ernments and public opinion, is made particularly delicate,' says the Temps, by the following considerations:
 "On the one hand, equality of treat ment for the press of all countries must be assured. As the United States and Great Britain are reluctant to impose restrictions on their newspapers, the only course is to allow the widest tolerance to all.
 ''On the other hand it would be harm full to lay bare to the enemy govern ments differences of opinion which in- evitably arise in discussions between del- egations. The very essence of every de- bate is that contradictions should arise. Such contradictions will asuredly be rec onciled, but it would be very unfortu- nate that Germany should know the de- tails day by day and seek to make capital out of them"

from ancient to modern times. He said the time seemed propitious for this association of nations. that when tho war eneded it was costing the United States $50.0O0000 a day and that tha burden was borne by your sons and mine"
 "I do not say that all wars are un- reasonable" said the secretary. Tor that all wars have no Justification. My feeling is that we cannot devise any machinery between men by which con flict will be stopped: but 1t is unrea- sonable, certainly in 9s per cent of the cases where nations go to war. that they should make war upon each other. for the reason that it gets nowhere. It will not stand the pragmatic test; 1t does not work: it does not solve .he difficulty in the end.

NEW PROBLEMS RAISED

New problems of government are raised by prospective stoppage of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liauor as hundreds of millions of dol lars derived from internal revenue VII have to be obtained from other cources. Laws for enforcement of the amend ment also will have to be passed by Congress.
 only a minimum of unemployment is expected to result, as the cumulative severity of successive restrictive meas ures adopted since the war began al- ready has caused many distillers and brewers to seek other uses for their plants. Hundreds of millions of dol lars are Invested in distilleries and breweries.
 More than half the territory of the United States already is dry through state action or local option elections. Until recently, the movement of limited quantities of liquor for personal uss was permitted, but the supreme court ruled several days ago that the Red bone dry amendment made such traf- fic illegal.
 Western and southern states took the lead in prohibition. In the states only California. Nevada and Wyoming still license the sale of intoxicants and in the south only Louisiana. The TO- maining wet states form a belt through the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys te New England. the states including Missouri. Illinois, Wisconsin. Kentucky. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland. Dela- ware, New Jersey. New York. Rhode Island, Connecticut Massachusetts. Vermont and New Hampshire.

U. s. FIRST GREAT POWER TAKING LEGISLATIVE ACTION
 TO STOP LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Nebraska's Vote Gives Nee. essary Two-Thirds Major ity to Make Effective Amendment Submit
 ted to Congress in
 December, 1917
By Associated Press

Washington, January 16. Ratification of the federal con- stitutional prohibition amend ment made the United States the first great power to take legislative action to permanent fly stop the liquor traffic.
 Nebrnslxa's vote gave the neces-
 sary affirmative three-fourths mn
 jority of the stntcs to make effec-
 tive the amendment submitted by
 Congress In December. 1917. It was
 followed by similar action in the
 legislatures of Missouri and Wyo-
 ming. making IS states In all
 which have approved "dry'
 America. Affirmative action by
 some of the 10 state legislatures
 yet to act is predicted by prohibi-
 ton advocates.
 Finder the terms of the amendment, the manufacture, sale and importation of intoxicating liquors must cease one year after ratification, but prohibition win be fact in every state much earlier because of the war measure forbidding the manufacture and sale oi alcoholic beverages after June 50, un- til the demobiliZation of the military forces is completed. Under the war time measure exportation of liquor IS permitted, but the great stocks now held in bonded warehouses will nave to be disposed of before the reoerai Amendment becomes effectiNe.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Discussion as to whether the new amendment becomes a part or the con- stitution, now that 36 states have rat flied it. or whether it becomes part CT the basic law only when each state has certified it's action to the Secretary of States, led today to search Tor pre- cedent which showed that the only two amendments ratified in the last hall century--providing for income taxes and direct election of senators-were considered effective immediately after the 36th state had taken affirmative action.
 Senator Sheppard. author or the pro hibition amendment, held that national prohibition becomes a permanent fact January 16 1920.
 Only 14 of the states have certiheo their action to the state department. The vote of the state of Mississippi, the first to act, has not been received at the state department. The Missls- sfppi secretary of state said today at Jackson that the certificate had been mailed to Washington immediately aft CT the legislature acted and that au- plicate would be sent if the original had been lost Proclamation of the rat ification of a new amenment is made. but this was said to be formality and not a requisite part of changing the cOustitutiOu
