The Germans leveled orchards In
the occupied territory held by them on
the west 'front.' The signing of the
peace pact did not restore those trees
to bearing. Nothing but time, and q
lot Of it, can undo the work Of de-
struction that was accomplished in
few days in French orchards. And
those orchards are typical of condi-
lions in all belligerent countries. The
central powers are tens of billions Of
dollars poorer than they were five
years ago, and they can not get away
from that loss, says Indianapolis Star.
Germans may make a bid for world
trade but they and other former bellig-
erent nations Of Europe will work
under a handicap Of debt and desola-
ton that they will not be able to
escape for years.

Disti|Iers Will Attack Constitu-
tionaIity of Federal Prohibi7s
ton Amendment.
ARE ACTIVE
Emergency Wartime Law viii 'De
Tested in Courts Immediately
After Treaty Of Peace Has
Been Signed.

New York, March 21.-Steps are be.
ing taken to attack the constitution
ality of the federal prohibition amend
ment and the wap.ime prohibition act,
the committee of distillers of the
United States, representing the entire
distalling industry, announced.
Levy Mayer Of Chicago, counsel for
the organization, was instructed to ar.
range for suit to test the emergency
prohibition law after the treaty Of
peace has been signed. Action to
bring about judicial review of the
eighteenth amendment, it was stated,
would await the outcome of referen-
dunn elections in 13 states wlDre Pc
titions calling for popular vote on
the "bone dry" enactment have been
filed or are in circulation.
Referendum Declared Necessary.
Mr.. Mayer advised the committee
that in states having referendum laws
and whose legislatures have ratified
the amendment, the ratification would
have no affect unless a majority of
the votes cast in the elections favored
the amendment.
The attorney also gave an opinion
that If the wartime prohibition act Is
unconstitutional, manufacture of dis
titled spirits, forbidden by the Presi.
dent under the food conservation laws
could be lawfully resumed as soon as
the war Is onded.
In their discussion of measures to
nullify the federal amendment the dis
tillers named California, Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, New
Mexico, Colordo, Michigan, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Maine and Nebraska as states
where referendum petitions have been
circulated. AS As state legislatures
ratified the amendment, nine more
than the necessary three-fourths, the
distillers' announced plan of action
could not be carried out if the people
of more than four states approved the
decisions of their legislative bodies.
Tactics Follow Brewers Policy.
The distillers' attacks on the war
time prohibition follows the lines laid
down by counsel for the brewers in
their test suit filed here yesterday, al.
leging that the law, having been en-.
acted after the signing of the armi-
stice, went beyond the power of con-
gress to adopt. measures for the ma
tional security and defense.
1t was said the distillers' suit would
be brought against the collector of in
