j. S. COURT HOLDS WAR
IS NOW LEGALLY OVER
Judge Evans Rules in Effect That
Wartime Military Regula-
tions Have Ceased.
BY the associated Press

By the associated Press
LOUISVILLE. Ky. April 3.-ln line
with an informal statement from the
bench March -, Federal Judge Wal
ter Evans. in an opinion today. hand
ed down a decision finding that the
war in Europe legally is at an end,
and that a plea for a new trial on
conviction of violating wartime mil
itary regulations after the armistice
was signed has standing in court.
Judge Evans based his decision
upon an address by President Wilson
before both houses of Congress in
joint session November II. 1918. in which
he said. referring to the defeat of
Germany THE war thus comes to an
end"
The President. said the court had
authority to make the pronouncement
under that section of the Constitution
which provides that he may from
time to time go before Congress and
give it information as to the state of
the Union.
The opinion was rendered in the
case of Harry Hicks. a resident OF
Louisville. charged with conducting a
disorderly house in December within
five miles of Camp Zachary Taylor.
His counsel pleaded that the armis-
tice was signed before the alleged Of
fense was committed. and that there
fore the military five-mile regulation
no longer was in effect. Judge Evans
sustained the contention and ordered
a new erial for the defendant.
