Believes Such Action Would Be
Victory for the Whiskey
Business.
CONGRESS IS NOW DRY"
Prohibition Strength Stronger
in Congress Now, Says MIR.
Bryan, Than it Was Last
Session.

Asheville, May 22.-William Jen
nings Bryan believes that the repeai
of wartime prohibition would be
victory for the whiskey business and
would commit the Democratic party
to championship of the saloon in its
last hours. In statement given
out here he predicts that congress
will keep the law in force, since he
considers that prohibition strength
in the present congress is stronger
than 1t was in the last.
"It is hardly conceivable" said
Mr.. Bryan, that those who favor
prohibition as a permanent consti-
tutional policy will advocate or favor
six months spree as a prelude to
prohibition"
Mr.. Bryan's statement follows:
Il am very sorry that the Presi-
dent recommended repeal of the
wartime prohibition law. His rec
| ommendation is not likely to secure
the repeal, but 1t leaves the Demo
| cratic party in the position of cham
pioning the saloon after 45 states
have ratified the amendment
The dry Republicans in congress
are not likely to respond to the Pres.
idents appeal, On the contrary
they will be very glad to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to put the
Republican party on record in favor
OF prohibition, and the dry Demo
Gratis viii have to oppose the Presi-
dents recommendation or misrepre.
sent their constituents.
More than three-fouTths of the
last senate voted for submission OF
the prohibition amendment. and il
| received more than two-thirds of the
vote of the house. In both senate
and house the percentage was about
the same in both parties thar
two-thirds dry. The present con.
grcss is said to have a larger ma
iority in favor OF prohibition thar
the last congress. 1t is hardly con,
cc'vab'e that those who favor prohi
bition ms a permanent constitutions
policy viii advocate or favor "A ST,
i months spree as a prelude to pro
hibition
The distinction which the Presi
dent draws between wine and bee,
on one side and distilled liquors or
the other has been rejected by the
states and by the nation. We have
30 dry states and none OF them ha,
made any distinction in favor o
beer and light wines. Congress re-
fused to make any distinction in sub
mitting the amendment and in wal
prohibition. In Michigan a few day,
I ago the beer ard light wine amend
ment was defeated by maiOrit,
three times as large as the ma iority
cast for the prohibition amendment
two years ago.
Il hope that the Democrats in the
senate and house will not commit
the party to champion of the saloor
after the country has declared so de-
"idedly in favor of prob .bition. OUI
narty cannot afford TO lie down in
! the gutter with the liquor business

A period OF seven days of grace,
has been extended to Germany by
the representatives of the allied and,
associated governments in which the
German peace plenipotentiaries may
conclude their study OF the peace
treaty and formulate such replies to-
the various clauses as they desire.
The extension of time, which orig
inally was to have expired at noon
Thursday, was set forward to Thurs
day, May 90, at the request of the
Germans, who advanced the plea
that more time was required in order
that they might formulate arguments
OF much Importance.
Almost simultaneously with the
request by the peace plenipotentia-
ries for more time comes from Ber-
lin a statement Of the German cabi-
net that Germany is unwilling to
sign the peace treaty. The docu-
| ment is a reiteraton, although in
