ish airmen who essayed fight
across the Atlantic ocean, withous
protection against disaster save whas
their frail airplane afforded, are safe
Some 1.100 miles out from New
foundland and 500 from the Irish
coast on Monday, May 10, the avia-
tors. making the best of an engine
which was failing to function proper
ly were compelled to alight on the
water. The light Danish steamer
Mary, bound from New Orleans aud
Norfolk for Aaahuus, Denmark, pick
ed the wayfarers up and continued
on her northward voyage.
Lacking wireless outfit the cap
tain Of the steamer was obliged 20
withhold the good tidings of the res
cue until he was opposite the Butt OF
Lewis, where the information was
signalled by means of flags that Haw-
ker and Grieve were aboard his
ship.
Immediately word T-as flashed to
the British Admiralty, which sent ous
destroyers to overtake the Danish
vessel and obtain confirmation. This
was done and one of the destroyers
took the airmen of. and later trans
ferred them to the flagship Revenge.
From this safe haven Hawker sent
a message that his machine had
stopped owing to the blocking of tha
water circulation system.

WILSON MAY SCOOP
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
REPORT FROM PARIS is HE WILL
SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY TO
OPPOSITION.
WOULD MEAN BIG RIx-yp
Rumored That President Will Sign
Treaty and if Opponents Fail to
Ratify the United States Will
Still Be at War.

Paris.-Should Republican senators
succeed in making an important
change in the peace treaty or in the
covenant OF the League of Nations,
President Wilson will refuse to sign
the revised treaty and then will seek
to place on the Republicans the re-
sponsibility for continuing the state
of war with Germany after the 9TH
er nations had made peace.
This statement is made by close
friends of the president, following adj
vices from the United States to the
effect that the opposition Of the peace
treaty and to the League of Nations
will be more vigorous than had been
expected. The president will sign the
peace treaty should 1t finally be &C.
cepted by Germany, but should the
Senate later insist upon amending
the treaty, 1t would be necessary for
Mr.. Wilson to sign 1t second time
before it could be considered formal
ly ratified by the United States.
President Wilson's friends here say
that should the Republican senators
make changes in the treaty there
would be the following results:
The treaty provides that 1t shall be
operative as soon as three nations
have signed 1t. England. France and
either Japan or Italy are certain to
sign Immediately. Should America
not sign. these nations would be do
ing business with Germany inside OF
month, while Americans would be
shut on entirely from German trade
because the United States stilI would
be at war with Germany theoretically.
1t is believed the friendly feeling
between France. Great Britain and
America would be destroyed and a
reaction would set in against the Unit
ed States which would have disas.-
rous effects ON Americans.

LAWYERS PREDICT
MUCH LITIGATION
r.. ESTioN OF PROHIBITION is
LIVE TOPIC MoNG ATTEND
= ANTS AT MEETING.
TECHNICALITlEs DISCUSSED
Some Attorneys Think Thas Enforce
ment of Law Hinges On the.
Words Intoxicating" and
Concurrent"
New 0rloane

New Orleans
A long trail of litigation will follow
the attempts Of the federal govern
ment and of the several states to pur
the new prohibition amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States into
effect, in the opinion of some OF the
leading lawyers of the country.
This phase of the new amendment
to the national organic law was live
topic among the several of the mem
bers of the Louisiana Bar Association,
which held its annual convention
here While the "dry" amendment
did not come up for debate on the
floor of the convention, 1t was freely
discussed by number of the lawyers
in their private conversations.
There are two words in the national
"dry" amendment which will provoke
litigation, according to the view Of
many of the leading lights of the legal
fraternity. The new .arid" amend
ment prohibits the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating" liquors and
gives the Congress and several states
concurrent" Jurisdiction in the en-
forcement of the Constitutional man
date.
1t is in the use of the words in
toxicating" liquors and concurrent"
jurisdiction that the trainers of the
amendment sowed the seeds of litiga-
ton, so 1t is declared.
The question has arisen, what Il
Intoxicating liquor. or in other
words. how much or what percentage
Of alcohol must liquor contain before
it becomes intoxicating?
The Louisiana Supreme Court has
held that liquor containing 2 per cent
of alcohol is not Intoxicating. " while
the Rhode Island Legislature hes
gone the Louisiana court two points
better and passed law declaring that
liquor containing per cent of alco-
hol is not Intoxicating"
Now, the question arises. who viii
settle this disputed point?
