TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY, MONTH
IMPORTANT IN WORED WAR

The signing Of the peace treaty on
June % marks another event in
number of remarkable coincidents
connected with some of the major in
cidents of the great war which have
occurred on the 28th, day of various
months during the past five years.
From the very beginning Of the con-
flict the 2Sth day Of the month has
been a very fateful day for all the
belligerents. Declarations of war
have been made on this date, great
battles have reached their turning
point, and governments have crumpl-
ed on the 2Sth, according to COM
pilation made by the Associated
Press year ago.
Five years ago on June 28 (1914)
the spark was touched to the powder
keg when Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand of Austria and his wife were
assassinated at Sarajevo in Bosenia.
Austria charged responsibilities
for the assassination principally
against the Serbians. July %, one
month after the Sarajevo tragedy,
the European war was launched in
Vienna by this declaration:
"The royal government of Serbia
not having replied in satisfactory
manner to the note remiteed to it by
the Austr-Hungarian minister in
Belgrade on July %, 1914, the i'm
perial and royal governmnt finds it.
self compelled to proceed to safe
guard it's rights and interests and to
have recourse to force of arms. Aus
tro-Hungary considers itself, there
fore, from this moment, in state
of war with Serbia"
August %, l914, was the date of
the Austrian declaration of war upon
Belgium. On the same day the first
naval encounter of the British and
Germans took place off Heligoland.
November 20, 1915, marked the
close of the Austro-German' cam
paign in Serbia and the collapse Of
the Serbian governmnt.
April 2S, 1916, was the date of tne
surrender of the British and Indian
troops at kut-el-Amara to the Turks.

These regulations are so strict thc. It
will be next to impossible, burr j
agents said, for a man to obi /
whiskey for general drinking, e-
cause at most he cannot have NJ 2
than one quart month and he eaa-
not get it then unless he is i'll and it
is prescribed in an effort to restore
him to health.
There is no restriction, however,
on mans right to ''use' the liquor
stored in his home, nor are govern
ment agents authorized to obtain
warrant and seize his stock so long as
it is not offered for sale.
From the very inception of the
wartime law there has been the
greatest confusion regarding it's pro-
visions. President Wilson, in a mes
sage to the present congress, recon-
mended repeal of the law insofar as
it related to light wines and beers,
but this was passed over with little
consideration. In a statement given
out Saturday night the president an
nounced that he was without author
ity to suspend operations of the act
at this time, but that he would do so
as soon as the army was demobilized.
Until the very end dealers every
where had held to the forlorn hope
that the president would set aside the
law.
This confusion extended even into
official quarters. Early today offic-,
lals of the department of justice said
the law prohibited the sale of 2 Sd
per cent beer and light wines, and
then on the heels of this the district
attorney at Baltimore announced
that he had received instructions from
Washington not to interfere with
such sales for the present. After
the issuance of the attorney generals
statement officials dismissed the
whole subject with the explanation
that the department had reversed"
itself.
There were all sorts of rumors
afloat in Washington tonight as to
what might happen in congress in
view of the stand taken by the de-
partment of justice. Some members
insisted there/would be demand to-
morrow in the house for immediate
consideration Of the straight war
time enforcement bill, and that not
even an agreemnt for a recess over
the holiday could prevent action once
the fight was launched.
The argument was advanced in
quarters not generally regarded as
ardent for prohibition that the war
time bill, sent in as part one of a
general measure, could be taken out
without affecting the other parts and
passed after an agreement to-. dis
pense with debate. Later IN. the even
ing, however, most of the prohibition
leaders said they would be content
with plans for the holiday. But there
was general feeling of uncertainty,
and members who are prepared to-
block efforts to put through wartime
without: full considera-
ton of amendments to change the al
cohohc percentage and other provis-
ions said there virtually was no.
chance before next week. :,

tory as one of the magnificent events
of the great war.
August %, 1915, Rumania entered
the war by declaration of hostilities
against Austria.
November %, 1915, three months
after making the declaration of war
against Austria, Rumania was practi-
cally put out of the fighting. On this
date the Rumanian government fled
from Bucharest to Jassy when the
iAustro- German armies closed in
about the capital.
April %, 1917, the United States
'congress passed the selective draft
bills for raising an army of 100000
men.
June %, 1917, Brazil revoked its
decree of neutrality in the war and
took sides with the allies against the
Teutonic powers, owing to the losses
sustained by the Brazinian merchant
fleet through the German plan of
ruthless submarine warfare.
October %, 1917, was the date of
the first American casualty on the
firing line. Two days previously the
first contingent of American regulars
had entered the trenches on the
western front. The next day the
Americans fired their first shot. One
day later, October %, First Lieut..

A fact not connected with the
world was is that Jun % is known as
"South Carolina Day." so named for
the victory which was achieved over
the British by the Americans at the
battle of Fort Moultrie on June %,
1776, in the War Of Revolution, and
also because 100 years later on June
%, 1876, at the celebration of the
centennial anniversary of that battle
in Charleston, the movement was set
on foot which rsulted In the

the tolling of the midnight hour. The
finger then moved across the man
from east to west, and when the bells
sounded the closing warning at Bos-
ton, the folk at San Francisco still
,had three hours to drink.
Attorney General Palmer, in his
statement as to the policy of the de-
partment, called attention to the fact
that the authorities in every city and
state had been requested to give the
utmost cooperation in the matter of
enforcing all undisputed provisions
of the wartime law. The temporary
refusal not to proceed against those

evidence against them will be obtain
