DRY TIME' MAY NOT
Be POSTPONED BY
PRESIDENT WILSON
1t Is Believed the Dry Law
Will Be Fully Enforced
July 1st
MEET HEAVY LOSSES
The Presidents Stand is Thought to
Be Reflected in Attitude of the
Attorney General
MEET HEAVY LOSSES

With sixty million gallons of whis-
key in bond, an ordinary years con-
sumption for the United States, Pre-
sident Wilson will meet a tremendous
appeal to postpone the time when the
country shall go dry. In the event
that six months grace sought by dis
tillers and retailers of whiskey is de-
I, MED the holders of these stocks face
a great financial loss. The huge
stock of liquor will have to be un-
loaded before July or become total
loss unless the period Of grace is
granted.
So far as information is obtainable
in Washington there is little likelihood
that President Wilson will extend the
period, and it is difficult to see how he
can do so. One of the methods sug-
gested is that he declare that the per-
iod of rehabilitation is at an end,
and thus save the situation. 1t is
urged that since the country is going
dry January 1, action of this character
would not make any great difference
except that it would prolong the sit
uation and prevent heavy financial
losses.
Prohibition advocates will bitterly
oppose any such action, and there
seems little doubt that the wartime
prohibition act, which calls for a dry
country after July 1, during the period
of demobilization will go into effect.
The expected result will be that from
July 1, to January 1, the country will
be flooded with whiskey at so low a
price that it will be cheaper than
beer.
1t is pointed out that this course on
the part of the President is made the
more likely because of the attitude of
A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General.
Brewers throughout the country pro-
fess to believe the Attorney General
in his argument of the Hoffman case
and in his letter of instruction to dis
trict attorneys means to hold that
near beers come within the prohibi-
ton of the law. Brewers have been
going on the assumption they could
prove in the courts that near beers, or
beers containing two and three-quart-
ers per cent alcohol, are not intoxicat-
ing.
This supposed attitude on the part
of the Attorney-General would mean
stopping the manufacture of near
beers and would even prohibit the
manufacture of cereal beverages with
out alcohol. The brewers see in the
Attorney Generals position disposi-
ton to drive them out of business be-
fore the courts can pass on the legal
ity of the manufacture of the near
beer, and it is also believed to repre-
sent the attitude of the President.

Committee Will Go to the
Bottom Without Fear
of FavOritism
LIKE CIVIL WAR PROBE
Representative Graham Will Conduct
the Investigation and the Facts
Made Public

WASHINGTON, May 14-Along
with the consideration of highly i'm
portant constructive Legislative
measures, Congress in the extra ses-
sion W. also conduct important In
vestigations.
A large proportion of these inves-
LEGATIONS, which will cover the war
period and subsequent events will be
conducted by the House committees
on expenditures in the various de-
partments, according to the plans
now formulated. These committees
have, in the past, generally been use
less appendages. They have done
little in recent years. Now, it is pro-
posed to revise the House rules so
they will be given the powers which it
was intended they should have when
organized Then, the committees on
expenditures will be authorized to do
what amounts to investigating fully
the conduct of the war.
The most important of these in
quiries will doubtless be the one in
to the War Department. 1t will be
conducted by the House committee
on expenditures in the War Depart
ment. Representative William j..
Graham of Illinois, an able lawyer,
is the new chairman of this commit
tee. On the committee, also, is Rep
resentative Royal C. Johnson of
South Dakota, who was an officer
with the A. E. F. in France and was
wounded in the Argonne. According
to House members who are anxious
for an inquiry, the War Department
investigation will not be perfume
tory affair." 1t will be for the pur-
pose of settling the facts before the
Congress and the country in the i'm
partial light of the cold type. What
is good will be called good but what
is bad will not be camouAaged.
Representative Rodenburg of Illi-
nois today called attention to an in
teresting circumstances relative to the
investigation of Civil War matters.
"Joe Blackburn of Kentucky" he
said, "made a national reputation by
the investigation of War Department
matters which he conducted not long
after the Civil War. Secretary of
War Belknap was impeached as
result. Representative Graham, who
will conduct the new probe, is
strong and tireless lawyer and will
get to the bottom of things. And,
believe me, there will be some start
ling revelations. l am familiar with
some of the facts and they are as
founding: Gentlemen who are seek
ing to excuse or belittle them are
making a mistake"

PARIS, May IA ASSOCIATED Press)
Much comment has arisen over the
fact that Italy is not included in the
proposed engagement between the
United States, Great Britain and
France for mutual action against
Germany should Germany again be-
come aggressive toward France. 1t
is said that Premier Orlando was
ready to bring Italy into the agree
ment, and that he took part in some
of the early discussions, although the
plans were consummated about the
time of the high tension which re-
moved Premier Orlando from active
participation in the Council of Four.
Because of Italy's membership in
the former Triple Alliance, it is held
in some French quarters, it was a
serious omission not to include Italy
in the new Franco-American-Br British
engagement.
