The New York world, in a Wash
in gton story Of September "a, quotes
Attorney G ener1l Palmer as saying:
II do not look for a proclamation by
the President declaring dem ohliza-
ton com pIete until the ratification
or the peace treaty by the Senate,
The Department Of Justice has no
intention of letting IN in its prose-
cution of violators Of the wartime
Prohibition law" -
THE World saws that Mr. Palmer
would not discuss the casa pending
in court at Trenton. \ j., by which
II Is souEht, in trying 70 prove that
the war is over. to Justify the sale or
liquor He declared that the law was
clear In that matter in that It pro
vided that war time Prohibition
should remain in force until the END
Of the war which had been defined
Al upon the exchange Of the rau-
flea ton Of the treaty Of peace and
thereafter until decentralization has
been completed, The Attorney Cen
eral said that he did not know of any
reason why President Wilson should
declare that Rehabilitation of the
army was complete except for the
purpose Of stopping the effect of the
Prohibition law.
1t is pointed out by the drys that
the liquor interests have resorted 70

creating n situation whereby they

GREAT BRITAIN CAN'T GO
BACK TO OLD WET DAYS

Great Britain must choose between
LIQUOR control and Prohibition In
these words Lord D'Ahernon, who
was chairman OF the Control Board
of the British government during the
war. measures the growth OF tenn
perapce sentiment.
IF we revert to pre-war conditions
Of the liquor traffic we v- bring
upon the nation drunkenness, inef-
ficiency, disease and misery, which
resulted from drunken habits in the
past" Lord DAbernon said.
IT do not believe the nation would
be satisfied with return to those
conditions. Our aspirations woulc
suffer The experience of war time
proves to US that temperance and eff.
ficiency are atainable through regu
,ation Of the liquor traffic. We mus
have regulation. We can mover re-
vert TO the old conditions"

Much Is taken also from comparison

and on their own grounds the team has
been playing far of the form that has
characterized their work all season.

Is true the Reds have cinched the PEN
