Which Went Into Effect

WASHINGTON, June 30.-War-
time prohibition. which went into eff
feet at midnight Monday, will be
strictly enforced by the department
of justice in so far IS existing ma
chinery can function to that end.
It was said at the department to-
day that open violation OF the law,
threatened in New York and other
cities, would be promptly dealt with
by federal agents. Whether the de-
partment's present force will be able
to break up secret traffic remains 70
be seen. but in this connection Of
ficials pointed out the increased ap-
preparation asked of congress for
general law enforcement would per
nit of a considerable enlaI cement of
the departments force.
Beer containing 2 ga pr cent or
'a1cohoI is regarded by department
officials as intoxicating and perso is
who undertake it's sale will be ar

in Baltimore to have the courts de-
termine whether such beer is tntoxi'
eating within the meaning of the
law is to come to trial tomorrow, bur
it is expected that before final judg-
ment is entered congress will have
specifically fixed in the enforce
ment law the amount of alcohol
which beverages may contain.
In the opinion of department of
Justice officials and many. members
of congress, wartime prohibition will
nave no effect on the Reed amend
ment prohibiting the transportation
of intoxicants into territory where
it's manufacture and sale is forbid

the Reed amendment will in no wise
be relaxed.
A bill designed to stop the gap"
between wartime and constitutional
prohibition was introduced today by
Representative Randall, of Califor-
MIA The bill would make prohibition
continuous beginning tomorrow, and
would hold in the bonded warehouses
all distilled liquors now there.

The pens with which the peace
treaty wac signed were unique.
Two white quill pens and three
amber-handled gold pens lay on
the main signing table, which
stood only few yards from
where William I. was crowned and
the German empire proclaimed.
Quill pens also on two smaller Ia.

SIGNED, PAPERS DECLARE
PARIS, June 30.-The French
American convention was signed Sat
urday on behalf of the two govern
ments, according to the newspapers.
1t is said that the covenant includes
several articles, and specifies that
violations of the peace treaty by
Germany will give France the right
to request American and British as
sistance.
The Journal says that the coinci-
dence in the signing of the conven-
ton and the peace treaty on the
same day is part of the spirit Of
union among the associated states
to see that the treaty is carried out.
The newspapers generally urge the
French people to begin at once the

enceau feels incapable of facing the
situation in France should Mr. Wilson
pass into the hands Of the radical op-
position.
1t is a fact that in the presence OF
Mr.. Wilson, European craftsmanship
has abdicated, but 1t is equally true
that in no small measure Mr.. Wilson
has been forced into dictatorship by
his associates. He has been asked
to decide the questions between the
European nations which had no con-
Germ for America. So he has arrived
at his position here because he alone
from the outset has had clear and
definite views Of the objective which
he sought, and that objective was his
league Of nations.

AS it stands the Paris conference
has reached deadlock wholly COM
parable with the deadlock which ex-
listed in the congress of Vienna at the

poleon had returned from Elba. Con-
ceivably the news of advancing Boil

ence as the bad news Of the landing

more one becomes satisfied here In
Paris that only some outside event
can produce decision within the coun-
Gil When the Paris conference met
Bolshevism was still east of the
Dnieper; today it is west of the Dan
ube suffice, or will the conference of
Paris postpone it's decision until Trot-
zky and Lenine approach the Isonzo
and the Rhine? These are questions
frequently asked. Or shall we expect
within the next few weeks the return
of the German emperor to Berlin and
his reincarnation as the champion OF
order against Bolshevism appealing to
the terror and WEAKNESS of the west?
In any event, two facts stand out
with growing impressiveness: One
is unchecked advance of Bolshevism,
and the other the growing paralysis
of the conference of peace. 1t is still
punctuating it's sentences, while Boil
shevism is eating up the eastern peo-
pies, as one eats an artichoke, leaf by

But today for the first time, an ap-
probation of the truth is brought alike
by the news from Budapest, Odessa
and Cairo, and it is echoed by the
further news which comes from War

The opposition in America is accus-

and mainly responsible for the paral-

story. If Mr.. Lloyd George has con-

should be in the main a rubber stamp
for the American President it is be-
cause Mr.. Lloyd George is seeking to
serve his own political necessities and
endeavoring to borrow the prestige of
Mr.. Wilson in Europe to that end.

Hurley Outlines Peace-time
Program for Great Amer

(Ry Associated Press,

NEW YORK, March Is Private
ownership Of the great merchant ma
rine which has been built by America
under the stimulus of war, with such
governmental regulation as would pre-
vent watered stock and assure the use
of the vessels on trade routes promot-
ing the general welfare of the nation,
was put forward here last night by
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board as his plan for the peace-time
operation Of the built
fleet He was speaking before the Ma
tional Marine League.
Enunciating the most important re-
construction decision so far reached
by any government department, Mr..
Hurley said he would have the govern
ment sell the new ships at market
prices, SO the operators could compete
with foreign tonnage, and would have
the bottoms insured Jointly by the
government and American companies
until the latter developed sufficiently
to carry alone the enormous risk on
more than $1,000,000,00 worth Of
property.
Watered Stock Barred.
No alien would be permitted to own
any stock in any American vessel and
the transfer of vessels to foreign flags
would be permitted only by express
consent of the government. "Ameri-
can ships for American trade" is the
central thought of the plan, which will
be submitted to Congress as basis
for legislation.
I'VE want the initiative and skill of
American ship operators, but we want
no watered stock" said Mr. Hurley.
I'VE want to avoid the stagnation that
sometimes comes from red tape and
bureaucracy. but we want no profiteer-
ing or exploiting.
1--WE want the new fleet used for the
benefit of the people of the United
States and not against their larger in
terest. We want it used for the de-
velopment of the nations commerce.
not merely for the development of the
private fortunes of ship operators"
