PARIS. Jan. 2S.--Sergius Sazonoff, the
former Russian Foreign Minister un-
der the old regime and now represent
ing the Government OF Yekaterinnlar
and the Siberian Government at OInsk,
has declared in statement to The
Echo do Paris that he would not par
ticipate in the conference proposed by
the Supreme Council with BolshevilS
representatives.
He added that il was very likely that
neither the Government Of Admiral
kolchak nor that of Gen. Denikine
would send emissaries, for they were
fully aware Of what Bolshevism meant.
Prince Lvoff former Russian Pre-
mier. in statement to-day strongly
deprecated the decision Of the Supreme
Council OF the Peace Conference re-
garding Russia.
I'VE never thought" said Prince
Lvoff. that the conference would
commence its peace work by renewing
relations with our tyrants. The Boil
sheviki have won their greatest vic
tory in Paris. The decision of the
council not only is OF danger TO Us but
the whole world. 1t gives now impulse
to anarchy
Delay Expected I'm Reply.
Whether the effort OF the great Pow
ers to tranauillize Russia is TO succeed OF
fail is still in the balance tonight. No
reply had come from the Bolsheviki or
from any other faction. and as the wire
lcss message embodying the proposal Of
the associated Powers was not sent until
. o'clock this morning some DAYS may
intervene before anything definite Is
known.
The scn,i-cfIlc!al Temps asserts that
the Supreme Councils proposal permits
traitors who withdrew Russia from the
war and turned the entire German
strength against France to he received
on the same footing as the faithful"
The American and British delegates
feel, however, that the proposal was the
only course open.
Information reaching the Allies indi-
Gates that the Ro,sheviki have power
full army In which discipline Is being en-
forced. In view OF this information one
of the Preners pointed out to-day that
the Boshevilli could only be combated
by large number o: allied troops.
which would have 10 be On the spot i'm
med!ately, whereas none OF the Govern
ments could ask people already wearied
by war to undertake another large milf
tary expedition.
Charles r. Pusta, repre- sentng the
Esthonian Government at the Peace
Conference, said tonight that the Es-
thonians we're ready to send delegates
to the Princes Islands 20 give their
views to the Powers, but that they wish
to maintain the right TO put forward the
same views at the Peace Conference in
Paris. from which they expect definite
satisfaction OF their claims.

ALBANY. Jan. 23.-The drys won their
.xpected victory to-day when the As
s.roIy voted, 81 TO 66, to ratify the
prohibition amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
Ratification was made a party meas
urc at a caucus OF the Republican As
senblymen. what little hope the liq-
nor men Of New York had for passing
their referendum measure was shat
tered when the caucus voted against 1t,
and later the resolution was sent back
70 pigeonhole in committee by a vote
Of SO TO So.
The State W. c. T. U. and Anti-Sa-
loon League heads and their assist
ants and workers, who were present in
large numbers during the seven hour
arht in the Assembly over their meas
ire. were delighted at the outcome.
Mrs. Ella A. Boole. State president Of
the W. c. T. T.. congratulated Speaker
Thaddeus c. Sweet of the Assembly
for his personal victory in being able
, 10 bring the ma jority members of the
over house to the side of prohibition
and steering the measure to success.
Speaker sweet Rejoices.
Z am glad the Assembly ratified the
prohibition amendment and l feel sure
our action will be paralleled by the Sen
ate next week." replied Speaker Sweet
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-01-24

AT the time the convention was held
We're had been no chance TO ascertain
tSe sentiment Of the party. Since then
81 the primary;th ratifica tion candidate
;or Governor won by 100000 TO lis, coo
rFer an outspoken wet. and ratification
'1n1idates won the Republican nomina-
ION in the overwhelming majority OF
Esnatoriai and Assembly districts. The
Republican Assemblymen merely carried
oit the clearly expressed will OF the rank
ind fle OF their party.
Further. the liquor interests. through
heir control of Tammany as the doWl-
fant influence in the Democratic party

lat party declaration against ratifics-
ron. They could have had no purpose
~ hope in so doing except the intention
~ hope Of electing a Democratic anti
ratification Legislature, snce the Gov
Hnor has no power upon this question
'ad ratification Is exclusively a legisla-
i've function. Upon that basis the
democrats and the liquor interests lost
''e legislature. So that 'he action OF
he Assembly represented not merely the
Eepuol.can party but the sentiment of
's whole State as expressed in the only
manner that is binding upon this ques-
ion"
Speaker Sweet declared himself we'll
N'ased with the action of the Assembly.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-01-24
Progress Marching On.

While the action OF the State OF New
York was not necessary TO accomplish
iatonal prohibition" said the Speaker.
- sorty-two States already have rati-
RED me amendment. feel prouder than
|'er that this State has thus far gone on
record In wiping out the liquor traffic as
step IN further evidence that world
progress for right Is still marching on.
y means that the great work accom-
t!shed by the United States In the
world war is paralleled by the deliver,
cnce OF substantially a million people
from the bondage OF liquor In our ma
'onal life"
Although the Republicans made rati-
feation a party measure. eleven Repub-
!ean Assemblymen voted against the
!'solution They were: Blakely Of
Westchester, Caulfeld of Kings. Hawk
ms OF New York. Malone and Welsh Of
Albany, y, J. Miller of Erie, Pellet.
stesnberg, Cllnan and Weiss Of New
York and Wilson OF Westchester. All
'Ae Democrats and the two Socialists
voted against ratification.
The prohibition night started as soon
as the Assembly convened. There war

It's Sir" John J. Now

New York.-The British Who's Who. copy of the 1919 issue of which has just been re- ceived here, lists the command. CT in chies Of the American Ex- peditionary Forces in France as Gen. Sir John Joseph Persh. ing, c. c. R.
 On July IF, 1918, King George awarded the grand cross of the Order of the Bath to Gen. Persh- ing and in August King George, during visit to France, person ally gave the decoration to him. The award of the grand cross of the Order of the Bath to a Brit ish subject automatically makes a knight of the recipient and gives him the right to prefix Sir" to his name.
 The decoration given General Pershing, however, was an hon orary one and it was said at the time that the American com. mander would not receive the ti tie of Sir" as he was not a Brit ish subject.
