WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Replyine
to questions which Senator Fall SUBJ
mitted today, President Wilson de-
clared in his Judgment he has no pow
err TO proclaim a state of peace before
ratification Of the treaty by the senate.
He states renunciation of territory
rights by Germany does not convey
the title to the allies but does put the
disposition of the territory in their
names.
The president, in addition to de-
claring he has no power to declare
peace, clearly indicated he would not
consent to take such a step II he did
have the power. He asserted such a
course would put a stain upon our
national honor which we could never
offace."

JJJDGE DENIES CHARTER TO NO.
TOBACCO CORPORATION

PITTSBURG, June 24.-Plans for
a nationwide anti-tobacco campaign
intended to follow the actual pro-
mitigation of prohibition were given
a setback here Thursday when Judge
James McF. Carpenter handed down
an opinion in the Common Pleas
Court refusing to grant a charter
to the No-tobacco Corporation. The
petition was signed by prominent
church people and ministers Of this
and other cities of the country.
In his opinion Judge Carpenter
said the law creating organizations
with judicial sanction in the form
of granting charters was not intend
ed to provide for incorporation and
propagation of theories as to effects
and consequences of personal habits
and immemorial customs, especially
if not contra bono mores" and con-
corning consequences Of which lay
men of equal intelligence differ radi-
cally with doctors.
Judge Carpenter declared the or
ganization was political in its aims,
as its petition stated its object was
"to obtain by law prohibition Of cul-
ture, sale and use of tobacco"
