REDS CLAIM VICTORY
Say They Have Captured Perm
from Loyal Russians.
Report, II True, VIII Be Serious Set
back to Northern Wing of kol-
chak Army.

London, July 4.-The capture of the
city of Perm from the forces of the
Kolchak government is claimed by the
bolsheviki in wireless dispatch from
Russia received here today.
The loss of PERI to the bolsheyiki.
IL confirmed, will be a serious setback
to the northern wing of the Kolchak
forces operating west of the Urais.
Perm was the startintg point of the
Kolchak offensive last spring. Early
in June the Kolchak forces captured
GlaZov, 140 miles west of Perm, but
recently was compelled to retire on
this front Perm is 210 miles north of
Ufa, the base of the southern wing of
the Omsk government force which was
captured by the bolsheviki June 12.
II the Siberian forces have lost Perm
they will have only one important base
west of the Urals, Ekaterinburg.
The bolsheviki seemingly are carry
ing out an offensive on their eastern
front against the Kolchak troops while
retiring In southern Russia before the
nonbolshevik forces there. The Dol
shevik strategy apparently has beer
to strike hard on one front, while re
tiring on another, and then to swinl
their offensive suddenly to another
front

Wet Advocates viii Press Ratifl.
cation of Treaty and
League OF Nations Pact
LID WILL Be LIFTED
Attorney General Says Demobillza
tion Will Be Complete When
Army Has Eeen Reduced to
the Peace Time Footing.

Washington, July Possibility that
pressure will be brought by the wet"
forces to induce the senate to ratify
the peace treaty quickly and accept
the league of nations, was emphasized
by an opinion expressed by A. Mitchell
Palmer, attorney general, as to the
time when the war may be regarded
as over
The attorney general holds that the
time of the ending of the war is clear
ly indicated by the trading with the
enemy act which defines the end of
the war as follows:
The end of the war shall be the
date of the proclamation of the ex-
change of ratification of the treaties
unless the President by proclamation
shall declare prior date in which
event such prior date shall be the end
of the war"
Ratification Necessary.
| Mr.. Palmer believes that a ratifica.
tion OF the treaty by the senate is an
absolute essential to the proclamation
of peace and that the prior proclama-
tion that might be issued by the Presi-
| dent would necessarily follow this rati-
tication. Any such proclamation by
the President might anticipate the re-
turn of peace to the extent of the time
that would be involved in the physical
exchange of the ratification of the
treaties between Germany and the
United States.
The President has held that he can
not lift the prohibition ban until the
war is over and rehabilitation com
plete. 1t is accordingly accepted that
the club of wartime prohibition anC
its continuance, so far as presidential
action is concerned, is contingent upoI
senate action.
DemobiIizaton Opinion.
The attorney general so gave hi:
opinion of what would constitute
rehabilitation In his opinion, demo
bilization, which must also be accom-
plished in the opinion of the Presi
dent, before he can lift the wartime
prohibition ban, will be accomplished
when the army shall have been re

1t is confidently anticipated this vii
be accomplished before the senate will
have ratified the peace treaty, so th
burden of continuing wartive prohib
: ton will have been shifted to tha
body.
The attorney general has no
changed his position relative to prose
cutions for violations of the law s
far as the sale of beer containing a
alcoholic content of 2.75 per cent
concerned. He will bring prosecution
