Attorney General Palmer announced
last night.
He issued q statement outlining
clesr-cut policy OF prosecution for vio-
lators Of the law, and soliciting the
assistance OF all State and munich
pal authorities IN enforcement Of the
act.
The future Of IN per cent beer Is
yet to be decided, Palmer said, but
until the courts rule sufficiently to
permit him to decide whether or not
1t Is intoxicating, action will be taken
against brewers or dealers who make
or sell beer containing up to 7& per
cent alcohol.
Palmers request for assistance IN
enforcing the law Is deemed fIre a
H. b.. Ia
partment Of Justice to cope with the
believed to be q hint to the Anti
Saloon League and other temperance
organizations that their cooperation
will be welcome.
The Anti-Saloon League has already
announced that it will use its forces
to see that the law Is enforced, and
to report and prosecute violators.
The attitude OF the Attorney Cen
eral on the Done dry act was made
known after an entire day Of inqui-
ries regarding his prospective action
had been fruitless. From now on he
will be the directing head OF all ac-
ton taken against liquor dealers, both
wholesale and retail, for violation Of
the law.
Palmer will play a dual role. He
will not only enforce the law, but
he will be the man on whose word the
President will declare ''demobilization

BALTIMORE Will
DRY
District Attorney Says Beer
To Be Tolerated Though
Not LegalRed.

Baltimore. June so.-Baltimore to-
night on the eve of the dry era,
was the shrine of bibuli from all
over the State (part of which was
dry already Washington, West vir-
giriia and Virginia. Tens OF thou
sands of sojourners Joined in with
the normal populace in the task Of
setting in supplies, and in the rev.
elry growing out of innumerable
stew parties.
simultaneously with the gloom ac-
campanying the passing of John Bar
leycorn there was some rejoicing
over the rather sickly notifications
which provide in Maryland for the
toleration of the continued existence
OF the saloon, so long as its sales
deal strictly with light wines and
beer containing not more than two
and three-quarter per cent alcohol.
VIII Tolerate sales
The district attorney conferred
with the police department and an
nounced that these sales would be
tolerated though not legalized, un-
til such time as the Supreme Court
renders a decision in the test case
of the Standard Brewing Company
now pending here. clarifying the
status OF the "kickless" beer. That
gives the saloon keepers probably
until october. However. the saloon
men we're notified that they would
not be exempt from prosecution in
case the court decides that the mild
brew is intoxicating and thus i'll
legal.
There was very little disorder
here and also very little sobrlety as
the night progressed. The saloons
closed at the stroke of midnight, in
accordance with the liquor license
board rulings, but the carnival
spirit prevailed for hours afterward
particularly in those hotels where
the visiting bibuli were quartered
The consensus of opinion among all
interviewed on the subject of the
drouth tonight was expressed-'Tt
could be worse. but not much"
saloons Will Take Chance.
Tomorrow about 50 per cent of the
saloonkeepers will take a chance and
remain open for the sale Of the mild
beer and light wines. However there
are breakers ahead evidently in the
matter OF the wines. since most of
the vintages contain not less than 10
per cent alcohol. The Department Of
Justice officials declared that they
would not close the saloons forcibIy,
but in cases where violations were
found warrants would be issued
after investigation and the police re-
auested to act with the Department
Of Justice as prosecutors.

them to support the league. He said
most OF those who signed the petition
were either bankers or their attor-
neys. and that IL was the only peti-
tion for ratification without debate:
1t came, he said, from that vicinity
where banking interests are linked
together to put this thing over with
people"
Discussing the league to enforce
peace. the Senator said it had expend-
ed thousands of dollars and has a
large force Of speakers to agitate
for the league OF nations.
Senator Hitchcock replied to this by
stating that a table Of contributions
recsntly prepared by the LEAGUE
showed that the average subscription
was % and that the support given
the league was OF nationwide scope.
Senator Borah insisted that the buIle-
tin more accurately stated the truth
as to the support given the Leag-
to Enforce Peace. He said this
lea que has as much right to enter the
night over the league Of nations as
any one. but insisted that the truth
should be known as to its motives.
Knox Supplements Statement.
Senator Knox supplemented SEN
ator Borah's statement by saying
that he had been informed that a
definite plan had been agreed upon
by the international banking houses
to form an international corporation
yhirh ~
the government of the United
States. This corporation. h. said,
was to establish credits Of food and
supplies with the nations Of Europe
and reap the profits. A bill for the
purpose was drawn, he said.
Senator Knox said he had verified
this statement by comforting with
the Senator who has the bill He
added that this Senator had the
decency to suggest the underwrii.
ing of the corporation by the
United States should be LETT out
OF it."
Unesnstitutional.T Thinks Fall.
Senator Fall made speech
against the league of nations. which
he characterized as "an unequal al
lance with national sovereignty i'm
paired" He said the Cons titution
does not permit the President to
negotiate a treaty by which a super
government is created. and asserted
that by ratifying the treaty Com
Sress would make "a scrap of paper
of the Declaration of Independence
and brand its signers as falsifiers."
No Senator could vote to ratify the
treaty. he said. without proving
false to his oath OF office.

American yards this year are expected
to total at least 100000 tons. The
output, according to shipping board
officials, will exceed by 100000 tons the

ley's prediction Of steel merchant

comparing favorably with the, best

The great production In steel ton
mage this year will be the result of the
tremendous preparations started under
the impetus of war. Making ready for
the possibility of prolongation of hos
tilities, the shipping board developed
building ways by the score to offset the
destruction by submarines. Many new
ships were turned out, but the new
yards were unable to demonstrate their
capabilities Immediately. AS the work
has been organized and experience
gained, the output. has grown steadily
with the full results becoming appa-
rent only just now.

stated by the bureau of war risk in
surance In an announcement concern
ing the bureaus activity in supplying
crippled soldiers and sailors with arti-
fetal limbs and in otherwise caring for
the wounded and disabled. Not even
all of the 125 cases of total blindness
cited, it is stated, have yet been de-
clared. as permanent by the medical Of
ficers In charge. Relative to amputa-
lions, denial is made, on the authority
of Surgeon General Ireland and Col.
Charles e. Banks, chief medical officer
of the war risk insurance, that there
were any cases in which men lost both
arms and both legs.
There have been more than 500 ar
tifcial limbs furnished to disabled men
to date by the bureau under the pro-
visions of the act of congress.
"Upon being discharged from war
department hospitals as unfit for furth-
er service, all men disabled as a re-
suit of injury or disease suffered in
line of duty, are entitled to the bene-
fits of the war risk insurance act" the
statement says. "If their condition
demands further treatment they are
entitled to medical attention in one of
large number of hospitals now be-
ing established throughout the coun-
try, to be operated by the public health
service.
IF man is disabled, but his con-
dition needs no further medical atten-
ton, he may secure from the bureau
of war risk insurance a monthly COM
pensation.
Medical experts of the bureau make
examinations of all who apply for
compensation and rate their physical
condition present and potential and de-
termine the percentage of handicap
which each suffers as wage Garner
as result Of his disability. The rat
ing given is carefully considered in fix
ing the compensation, which will be

An eight-cylinder car flew through

Sheriff Logan gave chase in the

A short distance out of town the

sheriff to pass. Sheriff Edwards fred
a few shots into the rear tires of the
car of the decoy, sending 1t into the
ditch, when he and his fellow officer

car and its contents, several hundred
pints of liquor, were confiscated and

and fined $500 which he paid. He
said his name was Holston and that
he was from Omaha.

scene was being enacted on the
river road Sheriff Jorgenson and his
deputy of Taylor county were en-

CANCEL CITIZENSHIP OF BIBLE
STUDENT.
Cedar Rapids Man Forever Black
listed at His Own Request.

Cedar Rapids, lat is expected
that the next step in the case of
Swan d. Rosendahl, who was de-
prived of his citizenship papers yes
terday at the instigation of the
federal government, will be his de-
portation, as an undesirable alien.
This step has not been decided on
but it is known that it was consider
cd at the time the men got in bad
with the government during the war.
Rosendahl who admits membership
in the International Bible Students
association, has been a resident OF
Cedar Rapids twenty or more years.
He was naturalized here in 1898, as
soon as he could obtain his papers.
He is a native of Sweden. He has
been a contractor and is we'll off
financially.
During the Red Cross drive in
midst of war, Rosendahl went be-
fore United States Deputy Marshal
M. l.. Healey and surrendered his
naturalization papers, saying he had
no further use for them. His case
was laid before the naturalization
authorities and there was talk Of
cancelling them and deporting the
man but no further action was TAX
en- until yesterday.
Judge A, B. Clark, who cancelled
the papers issued an order forbidding
Rosendahl from ever again becoming
a paturalized citizen of the United
States. Among other remarks he
made at the time he was asked to
contribute to the Red Cross were:
The United States teaches the doc
trine Of the devil and has placed
hatred in the place of love; that the
country has never done him any good
and a system of injustice runs thru
the structure of the law; that the
Red Cross is a sugar coating on a
bad pill; that he is against all organ
led society and government and is
a believer in the brotherhood of man
and that by retaining his citizenship
in this country he would be dishon-
oring himself, and that he would
prefer to be shot rather than to con-
tribute one dollar toward the sup
port of war or anything caused by
war.
