as to whether the Govt. had considered
in forming the Americans here for a

Secretary for Home Affairs, said: Il
am disposed to agree with the sugges-
ticn that the British people can settle
the matter Tor themselves, but, as |
have stated, | do not think this step by

New York, Aug. 9Th. The war time
prohibition enforcement bill recently
passed by the House and now pending
before the Senate Committee, is uncon-
stitutional, according to an opinion by
Mr.. Elihu Root, Mr.. William Guthrie
and Mr.. William Marbury, Council for
the United Brewers Association, made
public here on Saturday by Mr.. Fregen-
span, to whom it was addressed. This
opinion holds that until the eighteenth
amendment becomes effective in January
1920, Congress under we'll settled rules
constitutlonally has no express power to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
beer, whether or not intoxicating. There
is now no valid reason for the war time
prohibition act, the Lawyers declare, and
they contend that while the New York
Circuit Court Of appeals had held that
the war time act was constitutional this
decision would not apply to the pending
legislation.

Large Audience Present at Lecture at the Tutwiler Under Auspices of
 Local Committee

Mai. Edward Dupont of the French high commission made a far-reaching appeal in behalf of devastated France last night when he addressed a large and representative audience In the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel.
 He came to this city under the auspices of the American committee for devasted France, of which Mrs. E. W. Barrett is local chairman, and fol- lowing his talk pictures, many ot them official photographs of positions and emplacements, were shown. Talks were also made by Mrs. Lindsay Pat terson and Mrs. Frank Mebane, also members of the commission.
 Oscar Wells, president of the First National bank, presided and introduced the speakers in his usual happy style Major Dupont opened his talk by stat ing .sThe armistice was signed on Mo-
  say the nightmare has fled and the war is over. It is true that the fight ing is over for the time being, but we cannot say the war is over until peace is signed. There are two kinds of fighting, that on the battlefield and that around the peace table.
 'Tn this country you people know what Sherman said was was, but he did not know what a German war was. lrn Enr in service and although l went over the top 14 times l was never wounded He spoke of his two brothers who were in the service, one being discharged after being seriously wounded, while the other, just 19 years of age, was at present somewhere in Germany.
 IN GERMAN HANDS
 "What you have read in the papers and seen on the screen can but give you a faint impression of the real condt- tions of devastated France, and this war was your war just as it was our war Had it not been for the French soldiers at the first battle of the Marne and at verdun France would be in the hands of the Germans, and had it not been for General Haig and the English navy, England would have been in the hands of the Germans; had it not been for the Italian soldiers, Italy would have been Tn the nandS or the Germans, and had it not been for the Americans, God only knows how the war would have ended"
 Major Dupont reviewed the many att trocities which were inflicted on old men, women and children of the allies and which might have happened to the Americans had the war been over here
 WAR ON WOMEN

These children coming in on every train presented most pathetic sight Many whose mothers had been killed and whose fathers were
