PROVIDENCE, II. l., Jan. s. An injunction to re-
strain federal officials in Rhode Island from interfering
under the national prohibition amendment with ''the
ufacture and sale of Notwithstanding beverages" was
asked in three bills of complaint filed in the United States
district court here today.
The action was brought by Michael j. Lynch, in be-
half of several brewing companies.
The 18th amendment the bill asserts is WHOLLY null
and void and article of the Vostead enforcement act
is declared to be 'uncostuona and beyond the powers
of the federal government to enforce
The bill attacks the Volstead act by saying that it
arbitrarily and oppressively defines and cassies as
toxicating liquors which not in fact Intoxicating and

is FARM PRODUCING
FOODS FOR FAMILY?
One of important Factors Deter
mining Amount Of Income.
Garden and Live Stock Are Usually
Cared for at Times That Do Not
Materially Interfere With
Regular Farm Work.

Is the farm producing such Of the
family foods as are adapted to local
conditions in ample quantities for the
welfare of the family?
The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm is one Of
the important factors determining the
amount of the income of the farm and
the degree to which the farm business
is safe and profitable, says the United
State department of agriculture. This
is especially true of the smaller farms.
The garden ard live stock which
supply the larger part of the family
food are usually cared for at times
that interfere comparatively little with
the regular farm commercial enter
prises, and by labor which otherwise
would not be utilized Further, it has
been found that, up to a considerable
size of farm business, when the fam
lily food is produced on the farm, this
item, plus the fuel ard shelter fur
nished by the farm, amount to an
equivalent of the rent for the entire
farm or interest on the vSSe farm
investment.

French Troops Occupy Cities More
Than Hundred Miles From
Ruhr Troubles

London. French occupation OF
Frankfort and other German cities, to.
gether with civil conditions in the
Ruhr district, is being considered by
the counsel of ambassadors at Paris,
it is learned here.
1t is declared at the foreign office
that the British are not fully decided
as to what course to follow because
Of conflicting reports, but are inclin-
ed TO give Germany benefit OF doubt
thus far.
France Notified OF Attitude
A dispatch from Coblenz says that
it is learned at the office of Pierpont
&. Noyes, American Rhineland com
missioner, and representative of the
state department in the American oc-
cupied area, that several days ago
MIR. Noyes formally associated him
self from any action the high commits
sion might take involving it directly
or indirectly in a possible French
advance into unoccupied territory. 1t
is also stated at the office that Mr..
Noyes has notified Washington of his
action.
Germans Shell French Patrol
A dispatch from Mayence says the
only incident in connection with the
occupation of North Frankfort by the
French consisted Of few shots fired.
According to reports by aviators, Ger
men gun detachments fired two or
three shells on French cavalry pa
troll before which detachments of the
reichswehr and the security police
were retiring. The latter although
knowing that occupation had been de-
cided on, refused to believe it would
be carried out, one of the officers
saying that the British would not let
the French come in.
At Darmstadt, the reception of the
French troops was almost cordial, and
the population at Frankfort was in
clined to be friendly to the French.
Allied Capitals Apprehensive
London.-Greatest apprehension pre-
vailed here in official and diplomatic
circles as to the eyentualities involved
in the German invasion of the Ruhr
district and the subsequent French
retaliatory measure of occupying sew
eral points in the Frankfort region.
While admitting that the Germans
technically have violated the peace
treaty, British government officials
were inclined to regard Frances head
strong, ill considered one-handed
game
England, Italy and the United States,
it is learned, will not acquiesce in
the French coup, which comes as an
unexpected jolt.

Army REORGANIZATION
PLAN is ATTACKED;

~Would Build Up Military System
Equal To That Existing In Any

Washington.-Th army reorganiza.
don bill was attacked as measure
that would build up military sys-
tenn equal to any that ever existed in
any country at any time" by Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, Of Tennessee,
during consideration of the legislation
in the senate.
The Tennessee senator's criticism
was directed principally at provision
of the bill for a large general staff,
the creation of the office of under
secretary of war and for the organi-
cation of a war council to consider
policies affecting military and NUM-
ton problems. Senator Mcclellan in
dicated his opposition to universal
military training but reserved his at
tack upon it until the general fight
on the plan is brought to the senate
floor.
Senator Wadsworth Republican, of
New York, in charge Of the bill, and
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican, Of
New Jersey, answering Sentaor Nc.
Kellar, declared the legislation sought
only TO adopt lessons learned from
the world war, and was designated
to eliminate red tape" and promote
efficiency in the war department.
