the peace conference made mistake in not
giving that country the protection i. de-
manded by Encouragement Of its frontier.
True. 1t was urged in resistance to the French
demand that the granting Of its claims would
conflict with one of the Presidents fourteen
stipulations as a basis for peace. but if so,
such violation would not have been any more
fragrant than the wrestling of the Province of
Shantung from an ally in the and be-
slowing it upon Japan. The latter act
downright wrong inflicted upon ally
which helped to win the war. while TO have
reconstructed the French frontier would have
been juStiable act resulting from Ger
manys own criminal aggression in forcing
the conflict. and necessary prccautiUn
against similar attempt in the future.

What Is "Intoxicating Liouor?"

THE action OF three or four courts i'll giving
L contrary opinions on almost the same day
as TO the meaning OF the term Intoxicating
liquor under the wartime prohibition act
seems on its face, to support those who re-
fuse to leave such definition to judicial in
tcrpretaton These men insist that IL is the
duty of Congress to fly the alcoholic content
in beverage that is to be prohibited and, in
order TO play absolutely safe. they propose
that the percentage shall not be higher than
one-half of per cent
II Is scarcely conclusive to point to con-
trary decisions of subordinate courts as the
last word on this question II is quite true
that the district courts have taken contra
dictory views on this point, but the decision
OF none of them is final. 1t will not be final
when the Circuit Court OF Appeals has given
its opinion. 1t will not he final until tho Su-
preme Court OF the United States has declared
that one-half of l per cent liquor in intoxicat-
ing, or per cent or 2.75 per cent
There undoubtedly will be period OF
doubt and uncertainty on this basic question
II the courts are left alone to deal with it
In some districts .. rs per cent beer NAV he
sold. In others 1t will not be sold but in the
course Of comparatively short time the ties,
cases will reach the highest tribunal and a
final and binding decision will be rendered
This decision will be the law and every dis
trict and circuit court of the United States
Will follow il unquest ioninEly.
If Congress concludes. however that II
has the power and is under obligation to
define what liquors intoxicating taking
the whole question out OF the hands of the
court, its action will he binding unless the
power TO do this is challenged in the courts
1t does not seem to the layman likely that
such challenge could he successfully si,s-
tanned Congress undoubtedly has defined The
elements in other crimes. 1t has defined
hrst-desree murder and sedition and sabot
age. 1t might as consistently define the
crime OF selling liquor. and in doing so tell
the courts what liquor is prohibited and what
Is not

Three hundred years ago the first negroes
were brought TO this country. Their coming
was involuntary for they came as slaves
For nearly $50 years, while their numbers

Then came the war of emancipation and not
until then did their real progress begin In
little more than half century they have
progressed as no other race ever has done
