MESSAGE FROM WILSON.
Will Act On War Time Prohibition Aft
er Decentralization.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The fol
lowing message from President Wilson,
stating his stand on the prohibition ques-
ton, was made public at the White
House Saturday night by Secretary Tu-
nudity:
[ am convinced that the Attorney
General is right in advising me that |
have no legal power at this time in the
matter of the ban on liquor. Under the
act of November, 1918, my power to
take action is restricted. The act pro
vides that after June 80, 1919. "'until
the conclusion of the present war and
thereafter until the termination of de-
mobilization, the date of which shall
be determined and proclaimed by the
President, it shall be unlawful. &C. y
This law does not specify that the ban
shall be lifted with the signing of peace,
but with the termination of the demobi-
lization of the troops, and | cannot say
that this has been accomplished NV in
formation from the war department is
that there are still a million men in the
army under the emergency call. 1t is
clear, therefore, that the failure of con
gress to act upon the suggestion con
tanned in my message of the twentieth
of May, 1919, asking for a repeal of the
act of Nov. 81, 1918, so far as it applies
to wines and beers, makes it impossible
to act in this matter at this time When
rehabilitation is terminated, my power
to act without congressional action will
be exercised.

with the leaves of the jasmine or gar

Chlnaman III preparing tea places a pinch
OF leaves IN a Chinese teacup, which is
without handle. pours boiling water
over them, and places the cover on the
cup. In few seconds the tea is ready
for drinking; the covered cup is raised
to the mouth, and with the fingers of
the hand holding the cup, the lid is
moved just sufficiently to permit the Ii
quid to flow into the mouth as the cup
is tilted
In China tea is not grown on planta-
tons The individual farmers throughout
China cultivate small pieces of ground

mostly by girls and women, with gener.
