RAISE ON war
Time DRY ban
Slight Chance President May
Proclaim Peace Upon Ratifi-
cation German Peace Treaty
Reliable Sources Advise.

Washington, Oct. 90 = There is a
very slight chance that President Will
son will raise the wartime dry ban
before constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective in January, it was
learned from reliable sources today.
Upon ratification of the German
treaty, the president may proclaim
peace, even though the United States
still are at war, technically with Aus
tria, according to this information.
This declaration of peace would make
possible the lifting of the ban.
"Thoses favoring a wet spot" pro-
fessed to believe the president. would
rot be bound by a technical state of
war with Austria or any other techni-
calities after the German treaty is ac-
cepted by the senate.
" However, it was learned that the
Austrian state Of war has been almost
completely overlooked by government
officials in figuring on when the war
could be officially declared ended. Will
son is expected to ask the department
of justice for an opinion on the sub
ject before he acts to declare peace.
Should the ban be lifted, millions OF
gallons of whiskey and other spirits
now held in bonded warehouses, possi-
bly, would go on the market.

FROM PALMER
Attorney General Threatens
Prosecutions Against Beet
Sugar Companies Who Ask
Excessive Prices for Product

Washington Oct. 20.--Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer today threatened prosecu-
tlons against beet sugar refiners who
ask higher prices than those set by the
sugars equalization board.
The wholesale prices fixed by the
sugar equalization board, Palmers an
nouncement revealed. is ten cents cash
less two per cent seaboard basis"
Palmers' warning which was tele-
graphed to beet sugar refiners through
out the country showed that the sugar
equalization board and the department
of justice have been cooperating to get
the beet sugar supply on the market at
a fair price to relieve the present
shortage.
Palmer, in his telegram to refiners,
quoted a telegram which the equaliza-
ton board has also sent to refiners.
This message revealed that the beet
sugar factories were falling to sell
their products as produced because of
uncertainty about prices.
Palmer's telegram follows:
After a thorough investigation by
the recognized authorities on sugar.
the United States equalization board
has notified this department of justice
of the following facts:
As considerable part of the coun-
try generally supplied at this time of
the year with beet sugar may be en-
factories failure to sell beet sugar as
produced and this condition in turn Is
due to uncertainty regarding price,
our judgment is that no higher price
than ten cents cash less two per cent
seaboard basis is justified and we hope
that you will decide at once to begin
marketing your sugars on this basis
and relieve tho very serious situation
The price of ten and on-half cents net
cash f. o. b. plant, which has been Of
fered by the sugar equalization board
for 1917 deliveries as a minimum UP to
$4,000 tons for November and Decem-
Der shipment to relieve an acute short
age among the manufacturers east is
not to be considered precedent or
basis for local prices.
Il ask you to make your announce
ment of prices based on the above"
Palmer continued. The department Of
Justice will treat as an unjust charge
any price in excess OF this and consider
such a charge q violation of section
four of the Lever food control act as
Please wire today your con-
in the above"
While Palmer's warning dealt only
with wholesale prices. retail prices are
also directly affected. Fair price COM
mittees now being formed throughout
the country will know exactly what
price retailers are paying for sugar
and at what price 1t should be sold to
allow fair margin Of profit.
