London. July british labor at
the Southport conference decided by
a large majority to vote for direct ac-
ton to force the government to give
up its policy of military Intervention
in Russia, thus joining hands with the
powerful labor movement to this end
in France and in Italy.
The decision is triumph for the
radical leaders of whom Robert Smil-
lie, president of the miners, is the
most outstanding figure. The triple
alliance between the miners, railway
men and transport workers, under the
leadership of Smillie and Robert Will
liams. had already decided for direct
action to put an end to what is con-
sidered the reactionary Russian pol
icy and the perpetuatio of conscrip-
tion.
With Iehor pressing Premier Lloyd
Georges ,alition cabinet on one hand
and the tories marshalling their forces
to combat the natialization of the
mines. which they believe will be fol-
lowed by land Naturalization, Pre-
mier Lloyd George will return to Eng
land after peace is signed to find his
coalition government on the verge Of
wreck. Prophecies are made in all
quarters that parliament will be dis
solved before September.
Labor leaders. such as ArthIr Hen
derson. say that a general election
probably will occur before autumn.
Robert Smillie, in his speech last
night, said the tories were going tol
make a roaring, tearing campaign
against the naturalization of mines
but that land naturalization would
follow in the wake of coal mine ma
Equalization.
Besides these great issues, there Isl
that of Ireland with the tories lined
up to support the present military pol
icy. ehd labor, HuppoSted strongly

ROMAN PAPER SAYS
WILSON HAS FALLEN
FROM HIGH PEDESTAL


Rome, July Critical comment on
President Wilson's sojourn in Europe
Is made today in the Tribuna, in dis
cusslng his return to the United
States.
Seven months ago an immense
halo of popularity surrounded Presi-
dent Wilson," the Tribuna editorially
says. Europe awaited him as the
Messiah in new era of history, while
now he leaves amidst almost general
indifference, appearing as an intrud-
er in our continental history, our Eu-
ropean civilization and our sacred
ideals.
"It has been psychological drama,
as President Wilson believes, perhaps
sincerely, that he incarnated not only
the aspirations of America, but also
the aspirations of Europ He returns
to America leaving behind him a
chaos of disorder, passion and disillu-
sion, since he could not conclude peace
according to his principles, but by
compromise brought about by the
overbearing attitude of the strong to-
ward the weak"

Decision of Judge at Baltimore
Throws Entire Construction
of the Statutes Into Con-
fusion.
CONGRESS EXPECTED
TO END UNCERTAINTY
DEPARTMENT Of Justice Not to
Be Stampeded But 1t Is
Made Plain That Law Vio-
IatOrS to Be Punished.

Washington, July 1.-Congress and
the department of justice moved to-
day to stop the sale of two and three
quarters per cent beer under the war
time prohibition act
Prohibition leaders of the house, af-
ter a series of conferences. obtained
a call for meeting Monday of the
judiciary committee, which is eX-
pected to agree promptly on an inde-
pendent bill for the enforcement OF
the wartime law, defining Intoxicating
liquor as containing more than one
half of one per cent alcohol, and to
recommend passage of such bill by
the house at the earliest possible mo-
ment. AT the same time the depart
ment of justice made it plain its
agents would enforce the act accord
ing to it's Interpretation that anything
containing more than one-half of one
per cent alcohol cannot be legally
manufactured or sold.
Decisions of Judge Rose at Balti-
more in the brewers and two and
three-quarters per cent beer cases and
of Federal Judge Sawtelle at San
Francisco against the brewers and
such beer threw the entire legal status
of low alcoholic beer into uncertainty.
Either the Baltimore, the SAN Fran
cisco or one of the man. other cases
expected to arise soon will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States. However, action by
congress within a few weeks at the
most, is expected to render a decision
by the supreme court unnecessary so
far as stopping the manufacture and
sale is concerned.
Attorney General Palmer made it
clear today that while his department
would proceed in an orderly manner,
without wholesale arrests or spectacu-
lar raids, offenders against the prohi-
ton law could expect nothing else
than "early and vigorous prosecu-
ton. Pending the settlement of test
cases. 1t may be t t evidence I'M
numerous similar cases will be gath
cred without arrests being made, but
If the government wins in the end all
will be prosecuted.

ing on lands owned Ly American in
dividuals or companies by sending
soldiers into the field and driving
away the workmen, state department
officials said today. Complaint was
made to the Mexican government on
April 2 of this year, II was learned
against the refusal of the government
to grant permits to the oil companies
to drill, No answer was received un-
til after the Juarez incident, it was
said, and then President Carranza
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 tho oil lands.
The orders TO the military forces to
prevent drilling by force of arms were
issued by President Carranza last
May 16, according TO advices from
Mexico City today. The petroleum de-
partment instructed the Mexican war
department, by direct orders OF Car
rama, to use any force nevessary to
prevent drilling without permit, al
though the lands on 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 Tuxpam 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 .s,sfioial reports, on
the camps of other oil workers.
