ASK GOVT TO
 COOPERATE
In Suit Brought to Test War Time Prohibition
 Act.

New York, March 1S.-Coincident with the decision of the internal rev enue bureau to ask the department of justice whether it had authority to enforce the regulation prohibiting production of beer except that of less than One-half of one per cent. alco- holic content, defendants in the brewery stockholders suit brought here last week to test the constdution- aity of the wartime prohibition act announced that they had invited the cooperation of the government in the defense.
 The United States Brewers Asso- ciation comprising three-fourths of lLe industry throughout the country, as slounCed today that copies of the opinion of Eihu Root and William Guthrie, advising brewers that they might proceed legally with the manu- faCture and distribution of beer con tajuing ? 3-4 per cent. of alcohol, had been mailed to it's 700 members. While the association has taken no action on the opinion, officers declared they expected" many members would follow the example held by the Lager Beer Brewers Board of Trade of New York and vicinity in deciding to ig- nOre the government regulation re- stricting production of 'non-intoxi- eating malt beverages to those of less than one-half per cent. alcoholic con tent

RUSSIA BITTER
 ABOUT LEAGUE
Member of Czech National Council Describes Feel
 ing of People.

VIadivostok, March 1S-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- '',The Russian nation follows with a harsh feeling of bitterness all the eff forts for creating a League of Ma tions" declares Dr. Vaclav Girsa, To- cal member of the Czech National Council. Ut comprehends with diff culty how the allied democracies can entertain this noble but rather dis tant idea, and at the same time looks quietly on at what is transpiring in Russia" continued Dr. Girsa.
 Russia today is in need of assist ance. First of all she needs reor- ganization of her railroads. Never theless any form of assistance to Rus sia is Imaginable only in conjunction with military expedition which would be able to guarantee that the under taking will not be destroyed by perni- cicus rebel1ions and disorders which have become chronic along the Sip erian railways.
 Tn order. however. that such miH- tary intervention and economic assist ance shall succeed, it is necessary to carry it out according to a clearly defined plan, that is to say, the re- moval of the Bolshevik government from Russia, the re-establishment and maintenance of order and peace throughout the country up to the time when it will be possible for the Rus sian people to constitute for them selves, freely and without coercion, their desired form of government. Such allied intervention will be ac- cepted with exultation and with full confidence by all notwithstanding its even more efficient interfering with internal Russian affairs
 Adherence to the principle of non interference with Russian internal affairs, he said. prevented the Allies from supporting either the Siberian government or the government of the Ufa directorate because of lack of as- surance that either constituted a gov ernment having the confidence of the nation. Similarly, he pointed out, neither of these governments, even with the best programs they could devise, were able to win the conf Renee of the nation because they lacked the support of the Allies. The result is a deadlock and situation affording fertile ground for new revo- lutions calculated to strengthen Bol- shevism by driving in other ranks the wavering left-sociahs1n.

STRIKE DELAYS
 TROOP SHIPS
AdriaJic and Other Boats Held Up From Two Days
 to Two Weeks.

New York, March IS Marine workers on strike here threatened to- day to withdraw crews from all boats operated by the army and navy unless union crews on chartered tugs and barges are paid the same wage scale as is paid by the railroad administra- uon. The crews of II tugs chartered to coal troop ships walked out yes terday when they learned they were to be paid at the old scale and not the increased wages under the agree ment recently made between the unions and the railroad administra- uon, the army and navy and the shipping board.
 The sailing schedules of the Adri- atiC and other troop ships are expect ed to be delayed from two days to two weeks by this new tie-up in the harbor situation, Further cOmplica- ions are looked for when the unions take up complaints today that a secret pact' exists between the rail- road administration and the private boatowners. The controversy be- tween the unions and the private boat owners was apparently far from solu- ton today, the union leaders demand ing an eight-hour day as a basis of settlement and the owners emphatic ally refusing to concede it.

MUST OFFER
 JUSTICE TO ALL

Stockholm. Monday, March 17-In announcing Sweden's acceptance of the invitation extended to her and other neutral nations to attend a con- ference in Paris on the subject of the League of Nations, Premier Eden said today that the government had committee which has been long study ing the question, which would act in conjunction with the Swedish minis ters in Paris and London.
 Naturally" he premier said, this procedure in itself can not satisfy the neutral powers. We maintain uncon- ditionaI the demand to be permitted to take part in the actual, full official deliberations on this world problem before we shall find ourselves able to decide upon our own attitude.
 Obviously the League will not be- come a real League, able to perform it's tremendously difficult task, unless 1t Is made universal and is built on the principle of full justice for all dts members. We can only present cer- stage of the proceedings and have not neglected the opportunity to do so, and this initial courtesy from the Peace Conference to the neutrals, fla yordng the unconditional rights of neutratS, seems to me to be prophetic Of new and more decisive concessions which finally will place this difficult problem on the only correct founda- tfon---all free nations uniting for right and peace.'

Cabinet officers believe the session will begin in May, some expecting the date to be about the middle of the month, with others suggesting an earlier date, probably May B. As far as known, none of the cabinet mem bers has specifically recommended and date to the President, but Secre- tary Glass is understood to have pre- sented certain facts in regard 70 the governments financial situation from which the President may make his own deductions
 Members of Congress remaining in Washington, particularly the Repub- Ecans, hope the session will be called two months before the end of the current fiscal year, next June 30, so hat ample opportunity will be given for considering appropriation bills that falled at the last Congress. Re- publican Leader Lodge of the Senate has sent letters to all Republican Sen ators requesting them to record their address Of May Is with his office, but this was said to be without signif- canoe
 While House officials said today if reports from Paris that the Peace Treaty night-be completed next week proved accurate, President Wilson might return home by the middle of April.

FIGHT HAVANA
 HIGH RENTS

Havana, March 1S-(Correspond- ence the Associated Press)- -This city is threatened with one of the most unique strikes ever called. Unlike the usual strike, the movement will not be for shorter hours or higher wages Thousands of persons iu every walk of life, who are occupants of rented houses and rooms may strike" against their being literally locked out of their homes by prop erty owners who are charging exorbl- tant and illegal rents.
 Rent in Havana during the last two years has increased about 50 per cent and in some cases is reported to have more than doubled, especially in the poorer quarters.
 According to the law a property owner must file with the city authori . ties a sworn statement of the cost of construction of any building owned or erected by him, from which figures not only the taxes to be collected, but the rent which may legally be charg- ed, are fixed The property own having greatly increased rents, but without correspondingly augmenting their tax payments, the renting pub lie is loudly protesting and there is being formed an organization which has for it's object the calling of a strike by renters to force the reduc- ton of rates to something like norm al.
 If the strike is really called those taking part will not actually refuse to pay rent whatsoever. but will de- cline to pay more than the municipal records call for.

PRAISE
 FROM PERSHING
Pays Splendid Tribute to Women For Their Aid in
 Great Conflict.

CobIenz, March 18-CBy The As sociated Press) Praise for the part taken by American women in the war was expressed this morning by Gen eral John J. Pershing while inspect ing five Third army evacuation hos pitals here
 Without doubt America could not have carried out her part in the con fict as she did if it had not been for the willingness and courage of the nurses and others who came to care for the sick and wounded in France and the loyal support of patriotic women at home" he said. Despite the fact that America was in the war so comparatively short time, her medical and hospital service was not excelled by that of any other warning nation.'
 At each of the five hospitals he talked informally to nurses, doctors and orderlies, telling them of the i'm portant work still to be done in caring for the sick and injured. He talked to many of the patients and visite d virtually all the wards, where ap- prONimately three thousand Ameri- cans are patients. These hospitals were erected by the German govern ment and used by the enemy during the war.
 At one hospital, the commander-in- chief visited number of American soldiers who are neurasthe enics He found them engaged in wood working and in fashioning various souvenirs from old German shell cases. Others were sewing and doing odd bits of work, the plan of treatment being to keep the minds of the patients oQ anything rather than themselves.

DEPUTY
 GUARDING BETTY
First New York Official of Her Sex Makes
 Good.

New York, March 18-Niss Belle Norton, New York Cfty's first deputy sheriff, has been employed in the sheriff's office since June, 1914 when she started as a stenographer at $66O a year. She was not anbi- tious for "a mans job," and her re cent appointment was complete sur prise to her.
 Her steady application to duty and her more than ordinary capabilities attracted the attention of Sheriff Knott. Recently Mrs. Betty Inch was brought up for retrial on m estor- ton charge and the Sheriff decided it would be a good plan to have a woman accom- pany her to and from the Tombs instead of a, male deputy sheriff. as heretofore.
 Miss Norton was given the deputy ship and placed in charge of Mrs Inch at once. Since then Sheriff Knott has concluded that it is ad- visabIe to have women deputies in charge of all women prisoners under similar circumstances and further appointments are in prospect.
 Miss Norton is now just as full fedged a deputy as any of the Sher- ifs appointees. and has badge, au- thority and all the other appurteu- ances of the office, and she is the first woman to hold such a position in this city. Neither Sheriff Knott nor the new appointee has said any thing about the salary that goes with the appointment when a woman gets the job, but there has been no com pIaint from Miss Norton.
 She will continue to conduct Mrs Inch from the Tombs to the court room and back throughout the lat ter's retriaI.
