FIGHTING voLsTEAp ACT.

As determined as the efforts have been to bring about prohibition have been those on the other side to pre- vent it. The constitutionality of the laws enacted and those of the pro- visions that have been suggested for enforcing the law has been constantly kept at the front.
 Just at the present time it is the Volstead act, the one that provides for the enforcement of war time as well as constitutional prohibition, that is under fire and Judge Brown of the United States district court at Provi- dence has granted temporary in- junction to the brewers of Rhode Isl- and restraining the federal authorities from interfering with them through the enforcement of the new law and ho does so ''In view of the probability that the act in question. will u1ti- natsly be held unconstitutional and of the irreparable damage that would result from it's immediate enforcement, and its immediate en- forcement- Is not imperative"
 Judge Brown considers that the war time prohibition act interferes with the year Of grace permitted the brew CTS and liquor dealers to get out of business. and it is perfectly evident that the wartime act became effective long after the war was over and the enforcement law in effect practically a year from the time the armistice was declared.
 Yet technically the war is not over and will not be until certain things are done and as this emergency law is on the same basis as another war time law the use of which has but re- gently been invoked. it would be a strange situation if one hcould be ap- piled and the other could not. Judge Brown thinks there is probability that the law will be declared uncon- stitutional in which case it would be unjust to the liquor dealers to stor their business but where will the re- sponsibility rest if the sale of liquor is resumed and the law Is found to bt constitutional?

STORIES OF THE. WAR
Tricks of the Game of War.

< tBy The Associated Press)-Tricks of the game of war are coming to light from time to time as each side tells its story. One of the most successful of them was practiced by American forces in the Mouse Ar gonne battle last fall when the last great Allied offensive was at it's height from Switzerland to the sea- An imaginary army conceived by a handful of Americana junior officers was thrown into the field" over man divisions just east of Vcrdun in the Etain region were kept on their toes mometarily expecting an attack which never materialiZed.
 At dinner table in Cobienz ca fe, overlooking the Rhine, an Ameri- can intelligence officer recently told the story of the creation of the mythical X army" as it was called. It ap- pears that the Germans were expect ing an attack in the Etain sector at any time and the American knew it: but at that phase of the game the First tilted States army was devot- 1 ing it's energies to driving the enemy l out of the Argonne forest and the hill country on either side. So the mythical army was created. in pref | many men, to convince the German commander that it would not be wise to weaken the EtSin front to the benefit of the Mouse -Argonne front where a desperate battle was pro ceeding.
 Five fresh divisions had been placed by the Germans on the EtaiE line. | These constituted their last and finest reservoir of available divisions. The
 Americans realized that the minute the Germans decided that this was
 not a danger point, any or all of the 1 five divisions could be withdrawn re- placed by exhausted and fragmentary divisions coming from the battle ] fronts, and that the appearance of the fresh troops in line west of the euse
 would have tremendous effect on the
 American offensive.
 The TX army was assigned to 2 front from Bensonvaux to FTesnes From the morning of October g un- til just previous to the arnlistice this
 army "functioned" Captain Charle!

was established in clump of woods near Verdun and was christened headquarters of the X army. This station functioned until the end of the game, all orders" to the army going out from this place by wire less. Soon after the station began working the Germans located it's whereabouts and frequently shelled the woods and vicinity, apparently in hc3cs ef bresk king u0 the radio of this latest of annoyances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Not Gods Time.

MT. Editor: While George Kahn of Franklin made an argument that in my estimation is unansWerable, he made the same mistake that many others do in inferring that we are now back to Gods time."
 If MT. Kahn was aid enough in 1883 he will remember that every clock in America was changed from God s time," to standard time and clocks here east of Buffalo were changed just 20 minutes. We are no more on Gods time now than we were a month ago when we were going by Wilson s fool time a-la-Lloyd George. God can not be blamed for incompetent poll ticians; it is the people that elect them that are to blame for all the fool changes or laws and orders that we have had passed around this past four years. I told you so.
