rowing bands of Gypsies masaed five
thousand strong and attacked the
warehouses in which the food ana
clothing was stored.
News of the arrival OF the supplies
few days ago had spread through
out the country around Budapest.
where thousands OF Gypsies are en-
camped, constantly meuacing prop
erty of all kinds. A small detach-
ment of soldiers had been furnished
by the government as a guard
against prowicrs, but when the mass
of Gypsies suddenly swept down

can workers on duty were unable TO
hold them back. Many Gypsies
gained enterance into the storehouse,

Washington, Dec. 15.-War time pro
hibition was today held constitutional
by the supreme court in unani-
nous decision, thus vanished all
hopes of many for wet holiday time.
So decision was rendered on cases in.
volying the constitutionality of the
olstead prohibition enactment act.
Associate Justice Brandeis held
that the prohibition amendment was
binding on the states as we'll as on
the Federal government The court
entirely reserved the vets contention
that wartime prohibition was outside
congress wartime powers and pointed
out that wartime control of food and
railroads was still in effect.
The decision added one of the final
milestones to the long fight to make
the country dry
Upon courts decision on prohibition
that an enforcement law is expected
sometime in January will depend
whether the federal government has
at hand any legal means for making
constitutional prohibition effective.

PRESIDENT HAS
NOCONCE ESsIONS
ON PEACE TREATY
Will Continue to Hold Republi-
cans Responsible
SITUATION is UNCHANGED
Statement from White House Post
pones Further Consideration Un-
til After Holiday Recess

Washington, Dec 14.-Presiden
Wilson today intervened in the peace
treaty dilemma with an announce
ment that he had mo compromise OF
concession of any kind in find,
would make no move toward the
treaty's disposition, and would con
tinue to hold the Republican members
of the Senate responsible for results
and conditions attending delay
The Presidents position, regarded
as peculiarly significant in view OF
the recent discussion in the Senate
OF compromise was set forth in the
following statement issued today from
the White House:
ut was learned from the highest
authority at the executive offices to-
day that hope of the Republican lead
ers of the Senate that the President
would presently make some move
which will relieve the situation with
regard to the treaty is entirely with
out foundation; he has no compro-
mise or concession of any kind in
mind but intends so far as he is
concerned that the Republican lead
ers of the Senate shall continue to
bear the undivided responsibility for
the fate of the treaty and that the
present condition of the world in con
sequence of that fate"
The White House statement appar-
emily had no effect in changing the
treaty situation. Democratic leaders
indorsing the Presidents views de-
clared that it did not preclude Sen
ate compromise and that compromise
efforts would proceed. Republican
leaders reiterated that the President
was responsible for the present status
and must make the first move toward
a solution. Senators,hopipg to XIV
the treaty alone. expressed satisfac-
ton.
On one point only. apparently, were
all Senate factions in harmony
namely, that decisive action on the
treaty probably would be deferred
until next month, after the proposed
holiday recess of Congress, planned
to end January 5.
