Bill to Enforce
Dry Law Ready
For President
Measure Prohibiting More
Than Half of / Per Cent
of Alcohol in Beverages
Passes HI ouse Easily

WASHINGTON, Oct 1O-Enactment
OF the prohibition enforcement bill was
completed to-day by Congress with the
House adopting the conference report
already agreed to by the Senate, and
sending the measure to the President
for approval.
Preceding the House approval of the
report by vote of 32l to TO- vain eff
fort was made to send it back to con-
ference with instructions to eliminate
section permitting state authorities S
to Issue search warrants.
Complete Congressional approval of
the bill means that the days of beer
containing 2.75 per cent of alcohol are
numbered. The bill becomes effective
or within ten days should his illness
prevent him from acting on it. Stimuli
taneously with the Pres dents sigma
ture the wartime enforcement section
becomes effective. This section. as
we'll as the constitutional enforcement
portion, prohibits the manufacture or
sale Of any liquor containing more
than onehalf of l per cent of alcohol.
Anti prohibition members Of the
House made their last fight against the
inevltable IN voting to send the bill
Doth 10 conference, on tne motion OF
Representative Igoe, Democrat, Mis-
souri,, who protested against state Of
ncers enforcing Federal law" through
their authority to issue search war
rants. and complained that similar pro-
visions had been overwhelmingiy de-
feated in the House.
Opposing Mr.. Igoe's argument. Rep
resentative Webb, Democrat, North
Carolina, said that the House disap-
proval of the provision was due to the
false impression that state officia S
would be given the power of arrest as
We'll as search. The House voted down
the lgoe motion, 215 to S3.
Beyond this final attempt the "wets"
contented themselves by voicing COM
plant against the measure as "un-
American and accusing the House
conferrees of exceeding their author
ity by accepting some Senate amend
ments to the measure.

To Come Here

Ne1O York Tribune
WuSntuGtOu Burenl

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.--A tide OF
immigration from Germany and Aus
tria such as the world never saw be-
fore is waiting to surge over the At
lantic to the North and South Ameri-
can continents when the peace treaty
is ratified, according to information
given by the State Department to-day
to Representative johnson, of Wash
ington, chairman of the House lmmi-
grafton Committee.
Although Mr.. Johnson tonight de
clined to make public the details of
the information he obtained, it was
said that 100000 Germans and hun
drcds of thousands of Austrlans con-
template leaving Europe, and if Con-
grcss does not put up the bars many
of them are expected to enter the
United States.
Alarmed by this prospect, the State
Department. through Secretary Lam
sing, is anxious to see Congress enact
Immediately legislation to keep out
this tide, in which there must be thou
sands of radically inclined who are
tainted with all the doctrines that have
penetrated into Germany and Austria
since the war ended.
Speaking of the information he had
received, Mr.. Johnson said:
at is officially reported that large
numbers of Germans desire to emigrate
to escape the heavy burdens imposed
by the peace treaty. Taxes must be
high there for many years.
"An official estimate of those de-
string to emigrate from Germany places
the number at 100000. Most of this
number desire to come to the United
States or South American countries,
preferably Argentina, Chile and Peru.
do not believe the United States de-
sires this large influx of Germans and
Austrians. Other countries already have
taken action to prevent it. Sweden has
passed a law restricting immigration
and Argentina has done likewise
"Oficial advices describe the situa-
tion in Austria as being even worse
than in Germany. The situation in
Vienna is particularly bad
