YANKS OUT BY AUGUST
Washington Army Officers Say Demo-
biIization Will Be Completed
by That Date.

Washington, July 2-DemobilizatiOn
will be completed by August 1, in the
opinion of army officials. The final de-
cision in the matter. they say, will rest
with the general staff of the army and
not with the department Of justice.
When it has been made, General
Marsh, as chief of staff, will so advise
Attorney General Palmer, who will in
turn formally notify the president,
leaving nothing in the way to the sus-
pension of the wartime prohibition
act.
In giving their opinion, officials rea-
son that when the troops to be
brought home this month are mustered
out the forces remaining will be so
small in comparison with the 100000
men who were under arms that demo-
bilization can be readily declared at an
end.

DRESSES OF YELLOW VELVET
Rich Garment Carries a Most Pleasing
Contrast in Its Faeinqs of
Orchid Velvet

A dress Of yellow velvet carries an
exquisite contrast in its facings of
orchid velvet. The neck is cut deeply
square in front and is iDvisibly wired
10 stand up in the back, where the
orchid tones display themselves against
the skin of the throat and neck. The
bodice Of this dress is cut kimono
sleeve and is tight at the waistline
like a basque. The elbow-length
sleeves are faced with orchid velvet.
The flowers at the girdle line are
made of taffeta in shades OF mauve,
orange, pale yellow and purple. These
flowers are lovely part of the cos
tune because every color seems TO an
swer either TO the orchid or the yellow
velvet of the gown. The skirt of this
picturesque model is draped slightly
bias. so as to swing tightly around the
feet. There "a facing OF orchid velvet
contrasts with the yellow folds of the
skirt.

FATE OF VETS IN
HANDS Of SENATE
Dry Spell Hangs on Ratification
of Treaty.
CITE OPINION OF PALMER
1t Is Said in Washington That Re-
sumption of the Liquor Traffic
Rests With the Action of
the Upper House.

Chicago, July "a Washington
says:
1.-The senate of the United States
alone can say when the prohibition
regulation which has just gone into
effect can be removed. A prOclama-
ton of a state of peace depends upon
the exchange of notifications of the
peace treaty. Until the senate has
ratified the peace treaty President
Wilson will not proclaim that Amer
lea has emerged from a state of war.
'This action is forecast by Attorney
General Palmer himself. AS the prin-
cipal law officer of the government
and legal adviser of the president he
has rendered a judgment that it will
be unlawful to trade with the enemy
until peace has been proclaimed.
Trading With Enemy Act.
"All the penalties of the trading
with the enemy act remain in force
until the peace treaty has been rati-
fed; likewise ali other measures
whose phraseology would seem TO in
dicate that q proclamation of state
of peace is necessary before reStric
tive provisions are removed will be
wiped off the statute books only when
the senate itself has removed the
single obstacle to peace-ratificatiOn
of the peace treaty which President
Wilson is bringing back from Europe.
''In the ordinary course of events
the present dry spell would end in
about five weeks, for it is estimated
that rehabilitation will be complete
in that time. But to remove the ban
on the sale of liquor requires a proc
lamation that the war has ended. If
Mr. Wilson takes the position on one
subject that the state of war is not
ended until notifications have been eX-
changed he cannot very well take an
other attitude on the same question
when applied to another set of laws.
Premiers Rule Parliaments.
ALREADY the other allies have ar
ranged to begin tra ding with central
Europe as soon as their parliaments
have ratified the peace treaty, which
probably will be done within ten days,
as the prime ministers command ma
jority in their respective parliaments
president Wilson, however, faces
hostile political party. Delays have
been foremost because of the ex-
pressed opposition of a number of Re
publican senators to certain provisions
of the peace treaty relating to Il
League of Nations. President Wilson,
therefore, is expected to tell the peO-
pie of America that action by the SEN
ate alone can bring them all the fruits
of peace and particularly the removal
of all the restrictions unavoidably i'm
posed by the war"

ASK COURT TESTS
OF THE DRY LAWS
Attorney General Palmer Will
Not Be Hurried.
U. S. TO DIG TO THE BOTTOM
Officials Intend to Make Immediate
Arrests of Persons Who Violate
eguIations-Atlantic City, NJ.
j., Only Oasis in Country.

Washington, July 1.-THE house ju-
dietary committee probably wiz meet
next Monday to report out straight
bill for enforcement of wartime pro-
hibition so as to stop the sale of 2%
per cent beer. At most, it is said, "a
per cent beer would be on the market
less than two weeks.
This plan virtually was agreed upon
after leaders had decided to defer con-
sideration of all prohibition legislation
until next week. House leaders said
that if the bill were reported by the
committee Monday or Tuesday. it
would be passed without extended de-
bate and sent to the senate.
Test, Case to Be Brought.
Test cases on the sale of beverages
containing more than one-half of 1 per
cent of alcohol will be brought imme-
diately by the department of justice
in all Jurisdictions where such cases
are not now pending.
"We propose to make immediate ar
rests of persons who violate the war
time prohibition law according to our
Interpretation thereof" Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer said 1.-THE department
does not intend, however, to be swept
off its feet the first day that prohibit
ton comes into effect. We will proceed
in an orderly fashion to establish
whether intoxicating beverages pro-
scribed by the law include those hav-
ing less than "a per cent alcohol.
Await Decision in Baltimore.
Mr.. Palmer reiterated that all per-
sons violating the law might expect
"early and vigorous" prosecution.
While there remains a question as to
whether "a per cent beer is intoxicat-
ing, the department of justice will not
attempt wholesale arrests, but if de-
cision in the pending case at Baltimore
is favorable to the government. prose-
cutiOn will result promptly.
The attorney general said the test
cases in New York resulted in a deci-
sion requiring the prosecution to prove
that the beer in question was intoxi-
eating in each individual case and
that, therefore, decision in the Balti-
more case was desired to give clear
cut Interpretation of whether % per
cent beer was, in fact, intoxicating. If
upheld by the Supreme court, such
decision would be applicable to the
entire country.
Meantime the attorney general is
hopeful that congress will pass legis-
lation for the enforcement of wartime
prohibition, which would do away with
existing uncertainties.
When informed of reports that sa-
looms in Atlantic City were continuing
to dispense whisky and similar drinks.
Mr.. Palmer said:
''Well, there is no uncertainty in
cases like that"

OVERT ACT CLAIMED
ALL AMERICAN OIL DRILLERs
UNDER MEXICAN BAN.
State Department Officials Say Car
rama Soldiers Ordered to Prevent
Work Being Carried On.

Washington, July 2.-The Mexican
government has committed an overt
act of confiscation in preventing Amer
lean oil well drillers to work on lands
owned by American individuals OF
companies by sending soldiers into the
fields and driving away the workmen
state department officials said. Com.
plant was made to the Mexican gov.
eminent on April of this year, it was
learned, against the refusal of the gov
eminent to grant permits to the oil
companies to drill. No answer was re
ceived until after the Juarez incident
it was said, and then President Carran,
"a announced no permits, provisional
or other, would be granted until the
companies had complied with the law
Compliance with the law, it was said
by state department officials, would
constitute recognition by the com.
panies that the Mexican government
owned the oil lands
The orders to the military forces to
prevent drilling by force of arms was
16, according to advices from Mexico
City. The petroleum department in.
structed the Mexican war department,
by direct orders of Carranza, to use
any force necessary to prevent drilling
without permit. although the lands Cd
which drilling was being done were
legally acquired by the present owners.
The war department transmitted the
orders with specific directions as to
action to be taken by the soldiers to
the military commanders at Tampico
and TGxpam, and Immediately COM
panies of soldiers were sent into the
fields. 1t was not known how many
drilling gangs were driven out of the
oil fields by the soldiers, but two have
been reported and raids have been
made, according to official reports, on
the camps of other oil workers.

Baltimore, Nd, July 2.-The big
