RECOGNITION OF POSITION


 New York, April R.-Representatives of the United States Brewers association asserted here tonight that Revenue Com missioner Roper's ruling on enforcement of the wartime prohibition act was "a recognition" of the position taken by Elihu Root and William D. Guthrie. the associations counsel in the suit brought in federal court here to nullify the act The contention in the test suit brought here, it was pointed out was that neither the revenue department nor the United States district attorney had authority to enforce the act. With MT. Ropers de- cision disposing of the likelihood of in- reference from the revenue department, confidence was expressed that the last menace that of action by the district attorney would be removed by the re- 1 suit of the suit.
 l The case is scheduled to come up for hearing before Federal Judge A. N. Hand | next Friday.
 1 It was predicted that at that time, counsel for the brewers would waive, I temporarily, the second question raised 1 in the sut-whether beer containg 2.75 | per cent of alcohol is intoxicating-and would proceed immediately to attack the validity of the wartime prohibition act itself

presents a phase of the question to which not enough attention is paid
 Ordinarily thrift is looked upon i-s means of safeguarding one against possible emergencies or of building up an accumulation of money for some definite purpose. But there are many unexpected turns in the pathway of life. While it IS true that we never know what trouble or dis aster may befall us, we likewise never know what great opportunity is going to come into our lives from an unex- pected quarter. If I've read the lives of the men of our country who have risen from poverty and obscurity to the greatest heights of success, we find that there were certain times in their lives when great opportunities pre- sented themselves, and that much of the success of these men was due to the fact that they were able to take advantage of these opportunities when they came.
 When destiny called they were ready.
 Being ready to meet the call of op- portunity did not mean merely that they had saved up enough money to make it possible to embark in the business or undertaking that after

wards brought them their high sue cess. The greatest benefits were doubtless due to the fact that their practices of thrift gave them rugged characters, indomitable wills and wholesome standards of life. They were able to make any fight that cir cumstance decrced. They were able to withstand all temptations, to work hard, think clearly, rise above small personal considerations, and make of themselves tremendous powers of ac- complishment
 How often have we witnessed the unhappy spectacle of some man fail ing to rise to the complete potsibili- ties of opportunity as result of thriftlessnessi This often is true in the case of rich mems sons who fail utterly through weakness of character and the inefficient manage ment of their affairs. Although the standard of thrift necessarily varies with each individual the practices of this cirtue arc just as essential for the wealthy as for the poor. Thrift less habits will undermine any charac- ter and eventually lead to ruin.
 There is an old saying that oppor- tunity comes but once to every man. This is not true. Life is full of golden opportunities. America to-day is the land of opportunity. There arc more opportunities than there are men to take advantage of them. Every m'n or woman who practices thrift will find these opportunities and will be able to take complete advantage of them.
 Practice thrift, and view the future with calm assurance.

Civil War in Munich
 Regarded as Imminent
By Associated Press

Berlin, April 12.-Civil war in Munich is regarded as imminent following the action of the communists in deposing the revolutionary council republic. Three would-be governments are now in ex- istence in Bavaria.
 The first act of the communists was the creation of a council of 10, which was proclaimed in power. Armed bands then stormed the police station, disarming the police and arresting several officers as hostages. The communists were aided by the Russian boshevik leader. pr.

WILSON IS BEING URGED TO PREVENT
 PROHIBITION FROM
 GOING INTO EFFECT
Continued from Page Onel

izens who are said to have proposed to President Wilson that he consider the nroclaining of the end of demobliza- tion before July 1, and thus render pro hibition on that date ineffectlve are some ranked as advocates of prohibition. Their attitude. if was explained today, is that without proper provision Tor enforcing prohibition there would be many viola tions, that consequently the cause or pro- hibition would be discredited and that revulsion of feeling on the question might occur.
 There has been no indication of any intention on the part of the President to

follow these suggestions for the sake oi preventing the effectiveness of wartime prohibition. It also was stated today that the treasury would make no for maj or official suggestion regarding ac- ton to postpone the effective date or prohibition and that any position MT. Roper might take on this phase of the question would be entirely personal and not in his official capacity.
 number of members of Congress re- gently have discussed proposals that re- peal of the wartime prohibition measure be sought if special session is called soon. Even some advocates of prohibi- ton have discussed the possibilities Of this action although they have not in dicated their adherence to any such plan.
 Most prohibition supporters are believed to be strongly opposed to these sugges- tions.
 President Wilson also has been asked to remove the ban on the brewing of beer now in effect imposed originally as fooo
 conservation act Under a modification of this executive order, permitting the manufacture of near beer," brewers in New York and elsewhere now are seeking to make a product containing 2A per cent alcohol, claiming this to be non-intoxicat- ing The revenue bureaus attitude to- ward 2A per cent beer has not yet been determined finally, pending receipt O. an opinion from Attorney General Pal

 sioner Roper has instructed revenue col lectors not to sell revenue stamps ordi- narily affixed to beer to brewers desir- ing to make 2A per cent beer.
 Thus the manufacture of this beer at this time is considered illegal, and the
 bureau has not been apprised that any brewers were actually making it. Tenta- lively, it is said, the contention of the revenue bureau is that 2A per cent beer
 may not be made legally under the Pres idents food conservation order, and this contention has been upheld in brief presented 10 Attorney General Palmer in connection with the request for an opin- 1 ion
