Taft addressed briefly representatives of
a local committee which had invited him
TO talk at n mass meeting here In be-
half Of the treaty He said he did not
believe compromise on the reservation
affecting Article X of the League of
Nations covenant would "kilp' the
league.
THE matter of the ratification of the
treaty Is in the hands Of the senator's"
said Mr.. Taft. ''It must be worked out
by them. Every one knows how ]

best way is to let the knowledge of the
public desire that the treaty be ratified
trickle into the senators.
AT present about eighty senator's are
in favor of ratification, about evenly
divided on the reservations.
Only those fourteen reservations
stand between them. 1t seems to me
that compromise can be had and the
treaty ratified.
THE attitude of the President in re-
gard TO what he will do is not quite
clear. 1t has been said that Article
Y of the League of Nations covenant is
the heart of the league. And it is, in
that it embraces the intention Of the
members of the league to co operate in
putting an end to war.
But, on the other hand as prac-

j. S. MAY PURCHASE
ALL LIQUOR IN BOND
Would Issue Certificates Re-

Disposed Of
VALUED AT s1oo,ooo,ooo
By a star Correspondent

Washington. Jan 23.--The govern
ment will purchase all of the spirituous
liquor held in bond by issuance of
treasury certificates which can be liqui-
dated as the liquor is sold for legiti-
mate purposes. in the opinion of Rep
resontative Joseph W. Fordney. who
will soon call meeting of the ways
and means committee to consider the
proposition.
This is the plan recommended by
Daniel G. Roper, commissioner of in
tcrnal revenue, and Mr.. Fordney de.
clarcs that all members of Congress.
with whom he has discussed the propo-
Sition are in favor of it.
There isn't anything else for the
government to do" said Mr.. Fordney.
Under the existing condition the gov
ernment could not destroy this liquor
without Immediately reimbursing the
owners. And the owners themselves
cannot destroy it without first paying
the internal revenue tax.
THE plan of Mr.. Roper is for the
government to take over the liquor and
give in exchange for it certificates OF
Indebtedness which would be redeemed
when the liquor is sold for medicinal
or commercial purposes. Thus the gov
crnment would be only bound to pay for
the liquor as it receives payment for it.
"There are $4,000, 900 gallons of Ii
Quor in bond, which, at a low price.
is valued at more than 100000, 900.
have no idea how long it would take
to dispose of it. but there is consid-
cradle demand for it from hospitals and
otherwise for medicinal purposes and
there is a larger demand for grain al
cohol for the manufacture of explosives
and other commercial purposes"

two or more round trips through the

taken an active part in offensive opera
tions over the enemy's lines and aides

Great variance by commander officers
IN recommending decorations, Admiral
Knight said, created a situation where
many officers would have received the
highest award possible, while others,
performing exactly the same type of
duty, would have received no decora-
tiou had they been followed.
Although the board was fully i'm.
pressed with the Importance of duty at
sea, Admiral Knight stated, the diff
ference between the secretary and the
board was that the board was impressed
also by the Importance of other kinds
of service, both afloat and ashore
which We're regarded as fully meeting
the requirements of exceptionally meri
torious service.
THE law providing for awards might
not uuwisely have made a distinction
between service at sea and service on
shore by providing different types of
award Admiral Knight said. The
board recommended every one oil tne
commanding officers of the bat.leships
which served in the war zone for ID.

u. s. NJ to five of these and the navy
cross to the remaining six."
Promises New Report
Discussing Secretary Daniels's order
that the board reconsider all awards
and submit lew report, Admiral
knight said:
Tho board will modify its former
report as it deems necessary and make
changes if they are found desirable. We
hope TO render a new report within a
few weeks
Referring to the requirements for the
navy cross Admiral Knight said
ITO correct an entirely false and
public conception it should
be sufficient to emphasize the fact that
the cross is the only award provided by
Congress for heroism, whether in con-
hict with the enemy or not if less in
degree than that which would justly the
award of the medal of honor 1t is
also the only one provided for distin
guished service not in a position of great
