German peace treaty, it
was said today at the

nonpussed by President Wilson's veto
of the prohibition enforcement bill,
but later greatly encouraged by the
equally unexpected action of the
house in passing the measure over
the Presidents veto, dry leaders i'll
congress were working today to OBJ
tain the necessary two-thirdS vote in

Leaders of the anti-prohibition
forces were equally active for thru
an adverse vote in the senate there
still may be a wet spell before con-
stitutional prohibition becomes ef-
fective next January 16. Dry leaders
in the Senate were hopeful of calling
up the enforcement bill in the senate
today Immediately upon the reading
of the Presidents veto message, an
nouncing that he could not sign ~
measure because it provided for en-.
forcement of wartime prohibition
which he asserted sound public policy
makes clear the reason and necessity
for its repeal.
Officials explained that the war
time act provided that it should be
annulled by the President when peace
had been declared and when the army
and navy had been demObilized. Con
gress was informed yesterday by the
President in his message vetoing the
prohibition enforcement bill that de-
