SALOON RETURN
IS LOOKED FOR
Credence Placed in Report
From New York That
Ban Will Be Lifted.

Much credence is placed here in the
report from New York that the ban
on liquor will be lifted soon when
President Wilson proclains demobili-
zation of the army completed. The in
formation. which indications point to
being fairly authentic, comes from
liquor interests in New York.
Distillers. wholesalers, hotels and
cafes in New York. acting on this ad-
vice, are preparing to do an immense
business within the next seven days.
New York is preparing to celebrate
the return Of the saloon. Huge guam
titles Of whisky are arriving daily at
bonded warehouses from the distillers
of Kentucky. Hundreds of advance
orders are being placed. Bartenders
and walters have been called back to
their, posts.
THE prices to the consumer" a New
York dealer said. will not be higher
than before prohibition went into
effect, although the dealers are paving
on an average of so cents a gallon
more. The drinks over the bar" he
said, will be sold for about Is or 90
cents, according to the brand. There
will be no cheap whisky and most of
the stun. being sold In bond, win be
case goods and a pure article. You'll
be able, too, to get a good glass of
wine for 10 and Is cents, which is really
a pre-war price"

BLOCKADE OF
GERMAN PORTS
MAY COME SOON
Allies Take Drastic Course 10 Com
pei Foe 10 Leave the Balkan
States.

The State Department last night
msde public the text of the drastic
ultimatum delivered to Germany by
the allies and the associated powers
on September q demanding that she
forthwith withdraw all Of her troops
now under the command of Gen. Won
der Goltz from the Baltic provinces.
The ultimatum was sent by Marshal
Foch. Since that time Germany has
answered evaS .vely so that il became
necessary yesterday to carry out the
threat of the ultimatum. Although
not stated in the statement given out
last night. it is understood that the
economic blockade of Germany is al
ready under way.
1t is evident from the statement
that the United States is a party to
the plan of coercion against Germany.
as the United States is one Of the
associated powers. In brief. the terms
of the ultimatum are that failing the
evacuation as demanded the allies and
associated powers will prevent any
foodstuffs or raw materials from en-
tering Germany and would refuse all
financial facilities which the German
government is enjoying or which il
proposes TO seek from the allies and
associated powers
As to the actual blockade navy offi-
cials said last night that inasmuch
as the United States has very few
ships in the area of blockade ,he bur

Largely in Future of
Murder Suspect.

Joseph p. Sylvia, held by the po-
lice as a suspect the murder of
Emmett E. Wood. soda clerk, two
weeks ago. was not questioned by
the police last night, putting the
matter up to the coroner's jury at
the inquest. at the District morgue
ut , O'Clock this afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon the suspect
was asked IL he wished to make
any further statements. He said
he did not.
Prisoner Well Treated.
Detectives have not been harsh
with Sylvia. Except for the long
quizzings which he has been sub
jected to since he was brought to
Washington. except for his invol-
untary confinement at the Seventh
Precinct police station, he can
hardly be called a prisoner.
Sylvia's cell has been provided with
a droplight. a blanket and pillow and
other features denied most prisoners.
Headquarters Detective Morgan, one
of the men assigned to the case, said
last night that the suspect, while cling
ing to an unsubstantiated story, is
courteous and grateful for all the de-
Itectives have done for him.
The attitude Of the man causes the
detectives no end of evaporation and

SENATE WANTS
REPORT ON U.S..
LANDING At TRAU
After Heated Debate Sena.
tor News Resolution for
Information Is Passed.

After a heated debate, and over the
objections of administration Senators,
the Senate yesterday passed the reso-
luton by Senator New asking the
State Department for the facts about
the landing of American Marines on
the Daimatian coast to dispossess
Italian forces of the possession of the
city of Trau.
The principal objection came from
Senator Hitchcock, who charged the
Republicans with persistent attempts
to "heckle'' the President and en-
barrass him in his efforts to bring
peace. Senator Hitchcock went fur
ther and declared that the introduc-
ton of such resolutions OF inquiry
had no other purpose than to fill
buster" against the peace treaty.
1T is nothing more nor less than a
systematic tilibuster against the will
of the people" Senator Hitchcock as
serted. I'VE object to the everlasting
effort to prod and annoy the admin
istration while it is doing its best to
make peace"
Lodge Denies Filibuster.
Senator Lodge denied that there is
filibuster so far as the Republicans
are concerned. He declared that the
greatest wish on the Republican side
was to get the treaty through with
the least possible delay.
Taking up the question of the land
ing of the Marines. Senator Lodge
pointed out that the territory had
been taken out of the hands of Aus
tria and turned over to italy by the
armistice. But in some manner, Sena-
tor Lodge said, the territory had
slipped into the hands of the peace
council"
Landed to Suppress Insurrection.

American forces were landed to sup
press an insurrection and prevent
lawless conflicts between the

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
SUSPECT MILITARISTS

Berlin. Sept. 3o.-Germany's inde-
pendent Socialists regard their
country's military policy as tricky
and dangerous. Fearing an at
tempt to rehabilitate the militarism
OF old Germany they are prepared
to combat with all possible means
further efforts to maintain Ger
many's military and police strength
at its present level.
Hugo Haase. leader of the indie
pendent Socialists. revealed that the
Socialists warned the government
when the constitution was framed
that the allies undoubtedly would
oppose the clause providing for
Austrian representation in the
Reichstag, a provision which the
allies forced Germany to eliminate.
Haase explained that while he
did not believe Germany proposed
to attempt a new war Immediately
he did believe that the ATTEMPT to
maintain a military strength above
the 100000 men allowed by the
treaty after October / was merely
subterfuge intended to promote
future militarism.
He declared in conclusion that
the entente's failure to take a
strong position in demanding Won
Der Goltz's evacuation of the Baltic
provinces merely had served to
strengthen the militarists.

News Of the imminent transport
paralysis comes in the face of opti-
mistic official statements issued by
the government from time to time to-
day.
The government widespread use of
troops was the signal for the rail-

from other trades. Up to last night
they were against general sympathetic

But when today the railway men
, found themselves confronted with
troops running the few trains still in

thousands of volunteers, and with
troops stationed at every power house

couraging. sympathetic strikes.
Claim Strikers Returning.
While the government claimed that
numerous strikers have been return
ing to work. this is emphatically de-
MED by the strike leaders. They point
to the fact that the rail tie-up is as
complete as it was two days ago.
Furthermore. they are pointing to the
steady automatic Gripping of other
industries. especially the mines.
