say his recommendations 10 the ex-
traordinary session OF congress for re-

was based on an opinion from the at

phraseology Of the legislation had
shorn him Of the power to take action
at this time.
Prohibition Is made effective by the
law until the termination OF the war
and thereafter until the president shall
have declared demobilization COM
pleted. and therefore the adm!nistra-
tion's legal advisers hold that prohibi-
ton can not be annulled without con-
gress!onal action until the treaty OF,
peace has been ratified.
Meantime congress is expected TO.

Coblenz, June 27.--George Sauer-
born, editor of the Montaur kreishiatt'
convicted on the charge Of having made
false statements regarding the Amer
lean troops. has been fined 1000 marks
and sentenced to three months I'M
prisonment. The Jail sentence. how
ever, was suspended. Sauerborn's de-
fense was that the Kreisblatt had re-
printed the article from q newspaper
in occupied Germany which alleged
the killing of two Americans by civil
ians, and that the Americans subse-
quently, levied fine of 10000 marks
on the town. where the shooting was
alleged to have occurred.
Nontaubaur is the headquarters OF
the Third division, and the largest.
town occupied by the Americans on
the east bank of the Rhine.
Sentences imposed on julius Mayer
and Hugo Oehler, managers Of a Ger
man steel works near Prum, within
the occupied area, were approved today
by Lieut.. Gen. Hunter, LigGet. COM
mander of tho army Of occupation. The
men were convicted on charges OF fail
ing to deliver to the American FORCES
100000 shells and shell forgings. They
were sentenced to six months impris-
onment and fined 10000 marks by a
milNAry commission.

Approved by Senate-WillN6e First
Instance Of President Signing q
Treaty. f.. ~.

Washington, June 27.-Probably for
the first time in the signing Of an in
ternational treaty. shorthand charac-
ters will appear when the seals are
attached to the treaty OF Paris which
will mark official termination of the
world war next Saturday. President
Wilson will confer his signature by an
impress upon wax Of his own name
written in shorthand upon a steel>ring
which ire always wears. The president
when student in college acquired
shorthand as an aid in taking notes OF
the lectures Of the faculty and years
ago had engraved upon stone setting
of his ring the words Woodrow Will
son" as they would appear in shorts
hand. and 1t is the seal he will use upon
the peace treaty. for he must sign and
seal no less than a score Of treaties.
There is a presidential seal, but this
is used at the White House solely for
stamping envelopes and letterheads. 1t
is almost reproduction in diminished
size of the great seal of the United
States save that the stars are arrang-
ed in an arc above the eagle instead OF
the-circle. and that it bears the legens
President Of the United States Of
America" on the encircllng belt.
Great Seal Comes Later.
The great seal Of the United States
will appear twice in connection with
the treaty or treaties. but this will only
be in the final stages Of this consum-
nation. First upon the article signi-
flying. the ratification Of the treaty, and
second upon the proclamation which
the president will issue informing the
world Of completion aof the convention.
But authorities on treaty making agree
that the seals to be attached upon the
ffkst signature OF the treaty must be
those Of the individual signers. This
Is a survival Of the medieval customs
Of attaching the signature insignia Of
the arms" Of the signatory, generally
some knight or noble Of high degree.
AS never before has the president OF
the United States been known to sign
a treaty, hence there Is no record Of a
private presidential seal in connection
with such document. In marking an
other precedent. it was necessary for
Mr.. Wilson to duly accredit himself as
a plenipotentiary authorized to nego-
tiate and sign the Paris treaty. This
he did by causing Sidney Smith, chief
of the diplomatic service Of the state
department, who accompanied him to
Paris, to prepare full powers" In his
own name. which he duly signed.
