THEATER PATRONS
OPPOSE TAX RAISE:

Steps to register public protest
against the proposal to increase the
tax on theater admissions from 10 to
20 per. cent were taken by Washing
ton theatrical managers today. Peii-
tiDns were circulated among theater
patrons and stage speakers urged the
audiences to register their protest
against the proposed tax increase by
writing to their Representatives in
Congress.
Cards were distributed at the Ma
tional Theater by Manager Harry
Rapley on which patrons were asked
to sign their names with the purpose
in view OF sending them to the Con-
gressional committee which are to
decide whether the new tax shall be
levied or not. At the Gayety Theater
q big petition was framed in the lobby
and almost without exception patrons
affixed their names and addresses as
they entered the house.
Actors Sound Appeals.
Members OF companies appearing
peals to audiences last night to regisN
ter protests against the tax. Speeches
were made from the stage at Polls,
the Shubert-Belasco, the Shubert-
Garrick, the Cosmos and the Gayety.
Two more protests from Washing
ton theater managers were added to-
day to the list that voiced their dis
approval of the proposed new tax
yesterday. They were from Manager
Rapley. of the National, and r. S. Rob-
bins, of B. F. Keith's Theater.
''If the new tax goes into effect it
will serve to cheaper the drama" said
Mr.. Rapley. "Theaters will be forced
to put on cheaper productions at the
n Oh pria TA4 Itea, Aef a.
of such tax as is now proposed By
Congress cannot be overestimated."
"A terrible mistake" was the way
Manager Robbins. of B. F. Keith's
Theater, expressed his disapproval Of
the proposed increase
"Means Less Revenues."
when 20 per cent burden is
placed on a business at the outset it
is crippled beyond any hope of re-
covery unless extraordinary condi-
tions prevail which might in some
manner make up for this loss" he
said. 81 know of no surer way for
the Government to collect less reve-
nues than by this proposed increase of
tax. People who now object to pay
ing the present war tax on the
ground that the var is over, are GER
tainly not going to pay the increased
tax.
SHOW business in general is not
any too good now. Many companies
have not gone on the road on account
of high passenger rates, and other
excessive charges and the influenza
epidemic spelled disaster in many
cities to managers. house owners, and
performers, alike. An increase in the
ticket tax now would cause many
theaters to shut down their doors. 1
think the whole matter the most un-
wise step that could be taken to get
more revenue for the Government"

 IF BEER AND WINE
MUST CONTAIN LESS THAN TWO AND THREE-FOURTRS PER CENT OF ALCOHOL,
 HOWEVER.

Washington. - The Department of Justice will take no action, pending decision in present litigation, against persons manufacturing two and three. fourths per cent or less alcoholic content. This announcement was made by Attorney General Palmer.
 Attorney General Palmer announc- ed that as long as the wartime pro- hibition law remains in force it must be obeyed and that the Department of Justice would do it's utmost to perform the duty which the Con- gross has placed upon it'' in enrorc- ing the law.
 He declared that the departments course with regard to the manufac- ture and sale of beer containing less than two and three-fourths per cent alcohol would depend upon rulings made by the district courts in which eases now are pending or may be brought. The fact that litigation is pending will be no protection against prosecution of effenses under the law.
 The attorney generals statement said:
 'It will be unlawful to sell for bev- craze purposes any distilled spirit and any beer or other Intoxicating malt or vinous liquor, except for ex- port. This prohibition will continue under the terms of the law until the conclusion of the present war and thereafter until the termination of demobilization.' As long as the law thus remains in force it must be obeyed and I intend that the De- partment of Justice shall do it's ut most to perform the duty which the Congress places upon it.

PLAN TRIAL OF
 EX-KAISER SOON
REPORT FROM PARIS IS THAT NO TIME WILL BE LOST IN
 GETTING WILHELM.

Paris.-The trial of the ex-kaiser will take place before an interallied tribunal soon. This information is Fouchsafed officially by the French authorities. The decision was made, apparently, to meet the pressing de- mandS of a large section of public opinion in both Great Britain and France, which lately has been voic- ing insistent demands for some def mite disposition of the kaiser and his clique who are blamed as authors of the war.
 It is very likely that the tribunal will meet in Paris immediately and that the allied governments will or ganize court which will make a formal demand for Wilhelm's extra dition from Holland and his delivery to the powers. An indictment is al- technical clauses, so that everything will be in readiness for the trial when he is handed over by the Meth erlands government From present indications it does not appear that Holland will have any hesitancy in complying with the extradition re- quest
 While diplomatic measures will have to be taken to get hold of the 'ex-kaiseT and his eldest son these will not be necessary in the matter of seizing generals and other authors and perpetrators of frightfulness.

CEREMONY IS VERY SHORT
First Act Which Started War Com, mitted Five Years Ago When Austrian Crown Prince Was
 Killed at Saragevo.

Paris, = In the Hall of Mirrors, In the Palace of Versailles. where the German empire was born 43 years ago, Dr. Herman Mueller and Dr. Johannes Bell, as plenipoteniaries of the German government, affixed their which puts an end forever to Ger man dreams of world power.
 The ceremony which marked the end of war and the dawn of peace consumed exactly 39 minutes It's conclusion was announced by Pre- mier Clemenceau in the terse state ment:
 "The conditions of peace are now an accomplished fact; the proceed ings are closed"
 Thus was ended the world con fagration which began just i've years ago with the assassination of the Austrian crown prince at Sara gevo and which entailed the downfall of four empires and a score of minor kingdoms and principalities. Two years ago, on June 26, 1917. the first of the American expedition ary force arrived in France and Woodrow Wilson, president of tho | United States, having affixed his sig l nature to the document which seals the peace made possible by the aid of American arms, left Paris Tor Brest on his way back to Washing ton and received the most enthusias- tic ovation he has been accorded | since his arrival in Europe. It was Frances parting tribute to the man who showed the world the way to- peace.
 The charter of world peace was. signed by all delegates to the peace conference with the exception of the Chinese who were absent from cere~ mony because they had been refused permission to make certain reserva- tions regarding the Japanese occu- patton of Shantung.
 General Jan Christian Shuts. mem, Der Of the delegation from the Union of Africa, signed under protest. He, declared his objections t0>-eartain territorial settlements and the propo-. sal for trial of to kaiser and others responsible for the war He also sug- gested that the indemnities levied on Germany were excessive and should be moderated in order to faciI- itate the revival of industry Tn Ea- rope.
 The Germans were the first rc. sign and were followed by the Amer jeans, British, French, Italians and Japanese in order named Then came. the smaller nations. The Germans. who had entered the hall with down cast mien, and who were extremely nervous throughout the ceremony. were the first to leave. This was ,n. line with the program.
 There was no demonstration dur ing the ceremony, but at it's concin. sion salvos of guns boomed the news that Mars had been deposed and peace enthroned.

NO MODIFICATION
 OF LEAGUE LIKELY
PRESIDENTS SUPPORTERS SAY HE WILL NOT ACCEPT oP- 4 PONENTS' AMENDMENTS

Washington. - Suggestions that President Wilson might be willing to accept certain reservations in the rat ification of the League of Nations GOV enant were advanced by senators op- posing the league and promptly dis counted by the presidents supporters when conferences were resumed by senators on both sides in prepara- tions for the ratification fight. Those who suggested such a development did not profess to have definite knowledge on the subject, but thought MT. Wilson might not be adverse to notifications should it develop that otherwise the entire league plan would be jeopardized They predict ed that in any event some . changes along the lines laid down recently by Elihu Root were inevitable.
 Administration leaders declared the president and a majority in the Sen ate would stand determinedly for un- reserved ratification. Because of the diversity of views among covenant opponents. they argued, it would be impossible to muster a majority Tor and specific reservation.
 League supporters were so confl- dent of victory that some of them predicted the president would not fulfill his plan of making speaking tour on behalf of the league. This prediction was not supported among the presidents advisers elsewhere, however It was said that Mr Will son would make the trip regardless of developments in the Senate in or der to account directly to the people for his negotiations at Versailles
