PROHIBITS SALE OF
LIQUOR ON VESSELS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Intoxicat-
ing liquors will not be sold on ship
ping board passenger liners plying be-
tween New York and South America,
Chairman Payne, announced today.
The first of these ships, the 'Mocca-
SIM, will sail from New York Satur-
day.
Despite assurances from the board s
legal department that the prohibition
laws would not be effective outside
the three mile limit, Chairman
Payne takes the position that since
the sale Of liquor in the United States
is prohibited, its sale should not be
permitted on government owned ves-
sells.
The question of whether serving
wine with meals would constitute the
sale of liquor within the meaning of
the law, has not yet been determined,
officials of the board said.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23-Much of the
whiskey now in the hands Of dfstil'
leries in the United States will be sent
to Germany. it was learned today
The market in England is OVERLOADED
with the American product. In France
and other countries different sort
of liquor is preferred by most drink
ers, 1t is said.
Since last June, one exporting agent
has sent $4,000 barrels of Kentucky
whiskey to England. Much of this
has been put on the market. but il
has been found difficult to wean con
sumers from Scotch.

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-With both
sides apparently willing to give and
take, the effort to reach a compromise
agreement for ratification of the peace
treaty was reported progressing sat
isfactorily at conferences here between
senate leaders of both parties.
Early ratification of the treaty was
predicted by some senators with pros
poets of such action before Jan. Ii,
which would give President Wilson an
opportunity to lift war time prohibi-
tion and grant the country wet per
iod before the constitutional amend
ment becomes effective on that date.
All senators remaining in Washing
ton during the holidays probably Will
be called upon to participate In the
treaty conferences. From present in
dications the senators are going ahead
with the compromise program without
awaiting further word from the White
House. 1t was pointed out. however,
that President Wilson might again in
tercede in the treaty fight II he did
not approve reservations accepted by
members of his party.
