Millions of Gallons of Intoxi.
eating Liquors May Be
Total Loss
(By United Press.)

Washington, Dec. 15.-War time
prohibition is constitutional,
This is the decision of the United
States supreme court, handed down
today, and the act must continue un-
til peace is proclaimed.
The decision was a sweeping VIC
tory for the contentious of prohobi-
tlonists and the government.
1t means that millions of intoxi-
eating liquors, now stored through
out the United States, will be a total
loss unless peace is proclaimed before
constitutional prohibition becomes ef-
fective.
AS result of the decision, the gov
ernment will lose approximately
$440,ooo,o00 from whiskey alone,
unless the ban is lifted before jan
uary 16.

CERMANY'S REPLY
NOW C0NCILlTORY
BY Henry Wood.

Omitted Press Correspondence
Paris. Dec. l5.--The German re-
ply to the allied note, demanding sig
nature Of the peace treaty protocol,
was submitted at 1890 o'clock today.
The note declares Germany's inten-
tion to execute the peace treaty.
The reply is most concilitory
throughout, it was learned, while
holding out against full reparation
demanded by the allies for the Soap
pa Flow sinking incident. The Ger
man note indicates belief that So
luton can be easily arrived at.
The impression prevails that the
Germans will sign the protocol and
exchange ratification Of the treaty be-
fore the end Of the month.

SECOND NUMBER OF
e. i: HIS. LYCEUM THURSDAY

On Thursday evening, December
Is, at o'clock. The Scheurer Con-
cert company will present the second
number of the high school lyceum
course at the Methodist church.
:. This company is composed Of ar
lists who are members of the Mime
apolis Symphony orchestra. This in
itself should insure a very good en-
tertainment, one that the people OF
Bemidji will be anxious to attend.
In view of the fact that the audi
torium of the Methodist church has
a larger seating capacity and has bet
ter acoustics than the high school
auditorium, it has been decided to use
that auditorium for this number,
that more people may comfortably
hear and enjoy the concert. A re-
served section will be held for those
having reserved season tickets.
I The finance committee has on
hand money enough to pay for the
course, but it is sincerely hoped that
aalarge audience will attend this
ladmber, as we'll as the remaining
numbers Of the course since any sum
over expenses is to be given to the
High School Athletic fund, which,
Coach Smith says, is very low at pres
ent, the football team having been
under an exceptionally heavy ex-
pense. Basketball practice has begun
and all appearances point toward a
very good team, we'll deserving of all
the public's support.
Season tickets for the remaining
four numbers of the lyceum course
are on sale at SITS each, and single
admission tickets are So cents.

trainmen of the Mime
sofa, Dakota & Western railroad late
Saturday refused the offer Of the serv-
ices of the state board of arbitration
to settle their differences with the
company. Leaders Of the strikers adj
vanced as their reason that there is
no railroad man included in the
membership of the state board.
The formal refusal of the arbitra-
ton offer was made following a con-
ference of the strike leaders with Ad-
jutant General Rhinow in command
of the state military forces. Present
at the conference were Assistant
Grand Chief Andrew Johnston Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
eers, Vice President J. A. Larffey Of
the Order of Railway Trainmen, John
Noll, president of the local lodge, b.
of l.. E., and J. A. Tibbets, head Of

Demand Eieht-hour Day.
At the conference representatives
of the striking trainmen informed
General Rhinow of the causes Of the
strike, which they declared is to OBJ
tain~an eighthour day., with regula-
tion and rate Of pay in effect on the
larger railroad systems. 1t is under
stood that officials of the railroad
company are willing to meet the pay
demands Of the strikers, but insist on
ten-hour day, declaring that it is
impossible to operate the twenty
mile railroad under the regulations
prevailing on extensive systems.
There have been a few outbreaks
since the beginning Of the strike.
Dan Green an employe of the rail-
road, was assaulted in a restaurant
and severely beaten by a striker Two
other employees, who remained loyal,
are missing and are believed. to have
been intimidated by strike SYM
pathizers.
No sentinels have been posted by
the state troops and no armed men
are seen on the streets.
Newspapers Threatened.
The strike has not only halted op-
erations on the railroad but threatens
to tie up the paper and saw mills Of
the Minnesota and Ontario Power
company. Five carloads Of news
print paper consigned to a Mime
apolis newspaper now are on the
tracks awaiting shipment and if the
strike continues eighty newspapers in
the United States and sixteen in
Canada face complete shutting off of
their supply of print paper.
