The report says that after Dcni-
kine's breakdown. Trotsky. the Boil
shevik minister of war, intends to spring
an offensive against Poland, and that
for this purpose he reckons on aid
from German volunteer detachments and
new Chinese army which Is being re

OVER PRESIDENTS VETO.
Congress Passes Prohibition Enforce
ment Act This Week.

President Wilson vetoed the war
prohibition act lest Monday. giving as
his reason that the necessity for strict
enforcement OF the act ended with the
ending OF the war.
The two houses thought differently,
and In jig-time they slammed the bill
through over the presidents veto by
large maJorities. The passage OF this
act puts teeth in the law and makes
the retailing of intoxicating liquors
a hazardous business. The manufac-
turing or sale of intoxicants has been
unlawful since July LIST, but the law
was unenforceable because there was
no provision made for enforcement.
The federal government will have
men on the trail of all liquor vendors
and their life will not be bed OF
roses by any means.
On top of the furore created by this
new legislation comes an announce
ment from the whiteHouse that as
soon as the senate ratifies the treaty
with Germany. Pres. Wilson will de-
clare the war ended and with that dec
laration all legislation based upon the
war prohibition act falls to the ground.
The new act. however, includes the
enforcement of prohibition after the
constitutional amendment takes ef-
feet next January. so that the erspite
will be very shotr-lived at the most
