Responsible They Money

Internal Revenue was notified by the
Secretary of the Senate that the veto
had been overturned, and it has been
officially determined that the law is
in full force and in effect from today.
Before the Senate vote was taken
announcement was made from the
White House that the wartime ban
on liquor which is embraced in part
of the act passed by Congress, would
be lifted the moment the Senate for
mally ratified the treaty with Ger
many.
The result of the Senates action is
that the sale of beverages containing
more than one-half of one per cent. of
alcohol is crime and that the nation
will be "bone dry" until the ratifica-
tion of the treaty of peace with Ger
many. The Rev. Dr. Dinwoodie. legis
lative agent of the Anti-Saloon
League. asserted that even then the
prohibition forces would fight the lift
ing of the war time ban and would
contend that until peace 8 was also
with Austria-Hungary the
war time act must remain in force.
Even should the prohibition forces
insist that the treaty with Austria
Hungary should also be ratified be-
fore declaring wartime prohibition at
an end, 1t is thought this would mean
a delay of only a few days at the
most Once the treaty with Germany
is out of the way the Senate is expect
ed to act promptly in ratifying the
treaty with Austria and Hungary.
1t is believed that both treaties will
be finally disposed of before the end
Of November at the latest, which
would make December and a part of
January wet and give six or seven
weeks respite before prohibition by
amendment goes into
effect on January 16, 1920 Demobi- J
ization is already completed.
