IS enacted" Mr.. Wheeler said the
difficulties encountered in the enforce

ditional reason for Congress to act
quickly after the short recess.
'Thcre is q penalty in the original
war prohibition act of $1,000. or one
years imprisonment, for selling beer
or wine. 1t is the duty of the United
states district attorneys to enforce this
law. All state officers. under Section
1914 Of the Revised Statutes Of the
United States, are authorized to make
arrests and bind the parties over TO
the Federal court. The United States
rnarshals or deputies are obligated to
enforce the law.

q the duty of every United States dis
trict attorney TO enforce the law.
"The courts will determine what kind
Of beer comes under the prohibition.
The fact that in New York a Judge
thinks 23l per cent beer is non-inioNi-
eating is not binding on the nation.
"When the enforcement code comes
to a final vote it will pass at least five
to one in Congress. The test vote Will
be on amendments offered by the enc
mics Of the bill 70 weaken it. We con-
hAently expect that Congress will pass

~ U$h nUtCn EurcGr
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-With tho
announcement that the Department of
Justice is prepared TO enforce wartime
prohibition until demobilization is
terminated, a definition of the word
"demohilization' became the all inn
portant subject Of controversy here
to-day Secretary Of War Baker held
out no encouragement to the American
thirsty army on .he question of de-
mobilization Of Americas fighting
army. He passed the decision of the
all-importan question of when an
General and declined to utter even
the slightest syllable of hope for an
early ending OF the arid period.
Mr.. Baker said It was up to the At
torney General to define for the Presi-
dent the word Decentralization" for the
purpose Of enforcement Of the wartime
prohibition law, and that the War De
partment could determine no question
Of law with reference to the army.
The War Department" Mr.. Baker
said, "can only inform the Attorney
General if he seeks the information as
to the numbers Of men in the service
a any gwen icIiOu. iu ne w III Dcpttil-
ment cannot say whether the discharge
of all the men who were brought into
the service for the war emergency ter
inmates demobllization. 1t can only
give facts touching on the subject Of
numbers of men IN the service and the
character Of their entrance or a defni-
ton OF their service"
In statement issued by the stats
tical branch of the general staff, how
ever, the point is made that the army
was "72 per cent demobili2cd' on June
Is. The estimated strength of the
army on June 26 was l,01l,4S7. of
whom 497,495 were in Europe, 1Ol Asa
on the sea enroutc home, and 403, ,23 5
in camps in this country Competent
army authorities estimate that the
movement home of troops from Europe
and their demobilzation can rot be
completed before August 10.
Army authorities likewise inter
preted the phrase dcmoblization to
mean only those officers and men who
are in the service for the emergency,
and does not involve the regular or
standing army of the nation.
OF the estimated strength of 1,041,-
4S7 men 100000 are listed as regulars,
between the 10000 men serving under
long time enlistmcMts and the 1000
men recently acquired through volun-
tary cnlistments for periods of one and
three years. The term demobilization.
therefore, affects only in round figures
03l,000 officers and men, all of whom,
army officers, declare can be dis
charged from their obligations TO the
army by August |.
