Baker Tells House Committee
DemobilizatiOn Will
Then Be Over.
THE PRESIDENT CAN ACT
Suspension of Law Contingent
Upon Ratification of
Treaty
Special Despdtch to Tue SON.

WASHINGTON, July 29. President
Wilson will have authority to repeal
the war time prohibition act by Sep
tember 80. providing the Senate has
ratified the peace treaty by that time.
This was disclosed to-day by the
statement of Secretary Baker before
the House Military Committee that
the army will be completely demobi-
lized by September 80. The President
has stated that he cannot lift the war
time ban until rehabilitation has been
completed, and the bill provides the
treaty shall be concluded before prohi-
bition shall end.
Secretary Bakers statement was in
reply to question by Representative
La Guardia IN. ", who asked when
the army could be considered down to
I'eace time strength.
81 can definitely state" the Secretary
replied, that the army will be COM
! pletely demobilized by September 80.
Our emergency army will all be dis
charged by that date"
Secretary Baker also informed the
committee that the American Army of
Occupation would be much smaller than
originally planned. He asked for mill
| tary reasons that the exact number Of
Americans to be retained in France be
| kept secret, but II became known at the
War Department that the Allies have
| agreed the share of this country shall
be less than one Regular Army division.
These men will be kept there until
It Is certain Germany will fulfil all con-
| 6itions OF the treaty. Mr. Baker told
the committee. The Department now be-
lieves 1t will have a sufficient number
| OF volunteers among the men who have
| recently enlisted in the army 30 that
\ no man who served in the war Unless
he 30 desires will be kept In the Army
OF Occupation.
Great Britain Will maintain an occu-
patton force larger than the United
States, the Secretary said. The smaller
American Army of Occupation Is a big
reduction In plans originally determined
on by the Supreme Council of the Allies.
At one time II was officially estimated
the United States would have to keep
zoo, 900 men in France and Germany.
Questions by the committee brought
out from the Secretary that the Amer
lean force in Siberia is being replaced
by volunteers as rapidly as possible. He
gave no indication as to when this force
will be brought back to America
| WASHINGTON, July 29.-The per
manent" American force to be retained
on the Rhine will be made up OF units
of the First Division, which was the
first divisional unit OF the American
| army to reach France.
This was made known to-day in a
| cable to the War Department from
Ger. Pershing. which said that all OF
the division except units to be retained
in Germany would begin moving to a
base port on August Is in preparation
| for its return home.

President Ebert agreed with the

retirement from the army was ef-

ing to the public against paying an ex-
orbitant price for simple disinfectant,
out of which fortunes will be made If
the public are gullible. There Is on the

pay 81. so for. incidentally Mr.. Weigle
issues warning to meat market pro-
prietors not to burn the sulphur-char-
coal combination where any meat or
other food is exposed to its fumes. The
fumes of burning sulphur are sulphur
dioxide. This substance has been
classed as one of the prohibited chem
ical preservatives by the food laws of
this state. The use of sulphur dioxide
as such or in the form of a sulphite
makes the product to which it is added
an adulterated article of food and its
sale violation of the food laws of this
state. Prosecutions have been and will
be made where this chemical preserva-
tive is found.
