MONDAY NIGHT
BRINGS WARTIME
DRY" CONDITION
Congress Will Not Enact Any
Law to Change II
AMPLE ENFORCEMENT LAW
Saloons May Get Chance to Operate
From Time Demobllizatlon
Ends to January 16

Washington, June 26.-War-time
prohibition will become effective next
Monday at midnight without enact
ment meanwhile by Congress of ad-
ditional legislation ior its enforce
ment.
Out of a maze of confusing develop
ments. this fact stood out clearly to-
day with the decision of the House
judiciary committee, charged with the
duty Of preparing and submitting en-
forcement machinery to report three
bills in one each standing on its own
legs and capable of holding its own
in the event the others were made in
valid by Congress or the courts.
Chairman Volstead of the commit
tee declared tonight there was no pos
sibility of the passage OF the joint
measure before July /, but that there
existed ample means of enforcement
and ample penalties for violation of
the wartime act The full and explicit
definition OF intoxicating liquors-any
beverage or porduct containing more

set by the bureau of internal revenue
left no doubt, he said, as to how the
courts would construe the law or deal
with offenders.
No attempt was made by prohibit
ion members of the committee to con
ceal their satisfaction in having order
ed the three bills sent to the House
in one so as to prevent more than one
fight. Some members intlmated that
the title one, the wartime enforce
ment measure, would still be unpass-
ed when actual wartime prohibition
was declared ended. 1t was pointed
out by others that the law made it
mandatory on the president to say
when Rehabilitation was completed,
which would automatically permit sa-
looms to resume operations until Jan
uary rs, shen constitutional prohi-
bltion will become effective.
AS the prohibition enforcement
measure finally is put in shape for
the House il will be divided into
three parts, or titles: First, general
enforcement of wartime prohibition
effective on its approval; second,
constitution prohibition; third. regu-
lations for the manufacture of indus
trial alcomol, the latter two effective

TWO OPEN ZONES HAVE
BEEN ESTABLISHED
Deer May Be Hunted at Any Time
Within Boundaries Set BY
AVA

Under the new open zone deer law
two open zones already have been es-
tabhshed in Windham county, one of
approximately IL miles in circumier-
ence around the Connecticut Valley
Orchard company's enterprise in
Westminster and a smaller zone in
Marlboro near Sunset lake, including
only the land owned by Frank H..
Brasor and his daughter, In these
zones anyone holding hunting licens-
es may shoot deer at any time.
People intending to hunt deer IN
these zones should first make sure
that they know where the zone boun-
daries are located. If deer is killed
Il should be hog dressed at once
where It fell and the carcass be TAX
en- care Of so It will not spoil. The
next step is to notify the owner OF
the land, also the county FISH and
game warden.
The warden has to ascertain wheth
or or not the deer was killed in the
open zone If he finds that it was SC
killed he issues a certificate emitting
the hunter to his deer, but the deer is
the property of the state until sucf
certificate is issued.
The intent OF the law is to clear al
omen zones of deer, but deer huntinl
outside open zones Is governed by tn,
regular open and olosnd season law
modified by the act giving farmers ol
their own land the right to kill dee
found in the act OF doing substantial
damage to cultivated crops other thar
grass. One should be sure he know
what the law is before he begins OF
erations.

GERMAN OFFICER FINED
He Failed to Salute An American
Officer,

Coblenz, June 24.-Captain Bach
hauser. assigned by the German army
to duty in CobIenz. was fined 1000
marks today for refusing to salute
an American lieutenant. The cap
tain contended the war was over and
that, anyway, the regulations did not
call for his saluting an officer of
lower rank. This is the first instance
of an action of this kind since a
definite turn was taken in the peace
situation.
American officers say that after the
treaty of peace is signed the regula-
ton issued last December compelling
German officer to salute viii probably
not be enforced. Civilians generally
have seemed relieved as a result of
the action of the German national
assembly at Weimar in reference to
Peace. Several individual instances
have been reported here. however, in
which civilians in the street have as
sumed a naughty air toward the sol
diers without serious results.
The Americans do not expect any
trouble between civilians and soldiers
but extra precautions have been TAX
en- by the military police at Treyes,
CoDlenz and other towns to prevent
trouble. With a view to avoiding
clashes, no night leaves will be allow
ed in any of the towns within the oc-
cupied area, the officers desiring to
have their men in the barracks at
night when most of the quarrels and
fights between Germans and Ameri-
cans have occurred.

costs. C. S. Chase and W. r. Daley

in the words of the Berlin correspon-
dent of the Berlingske Tidende there

gulf wider than that which yawned In
1871"
Germany has accepted peace which
she was not able to reject. but II is
well to recognize the spirit in which
she accepted IT, Perhaps the best
expression of this spirit is found in
Vorwarts, which says:
This peace, being the product OF
force, is worthless as a real peace, be-
cause the German people will never be-
lieve in it. II is a peace which will
last only so long as the balance Of
power remains the same as that which
