NOT TO WAIT
FOR AMERICA
League Council to Meet in
London February 10
COMPLEX TASK EXPECTED
EIihu Root May Be One Of Organizers
Project For Permanent Inter-
national Tribunal Orig
mated In u. S.

Washington.-The second meeting OF
the council of the League of Nations,
which in reality will be the first actual
business meeting, will be held in Lon
don probably February 10.
At this meeting the council plans
to enter upon consideration of one
of the most important subjects with
which it. has been charged under the
treaty of peace, namely the constltu-
ton of the Permanent Court OF Inter
national Justice. The first meeting
of the council, held in Paris January
l6, confined itself to matters OF or
ganization necessary to meet con-
tingencies that had arisen under the
treaty, such as the appointment OF
the Saar Valley boundary commission
which had to be named within Is days
after ratification of the treaty.
1t is learned that the launching OF
the Permanent Court of International
Justice has been decided upon after
great hesitation, because this was one
of the features of the peace program
in which the United States had taken
the greatest interest, in fact, having
originated the project as one of the
best means of preventing wars by
resort to judicial processes. 1t was
to have been considered at the first
meeting of the council, but was post
poned in order to afford opportunity
for the American Senate to act upon
the peace treaty and for this nation
to be in a position to participate in
the organization of the court. The
United States, it was pointed out in
the councils meeting, had given this
plan of settlement of international
disputes it's original impetus at the
first and second Hague conferences,
and also at the London Prize Court
conference.
The council, it is now learned, final
ly had decided to go ahead with the
plans already made by the secretariat
of the League for launching the court.
Elihu Root, former Secretary of
State Of the United States, is known
to have been selected as the Amer
lean member Of the commission, but
it is not yet certain that the council
will feel free to offer him the actual
appointment in advance of Americas
ratification of the treaty. This subject
now is under negotiations, with the
viewpoint expressed by the other ma
lions that they very much desire to
name Mr.. Root il the choice would
not appear untimely in view of the
treaty situation in this country

Washington.-Met by which in
aoxicating liquors may be obtained Tor

cations governing their sale were made
public by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue. Announcement also was made

tenn of permits, providing definite
and fixed channel through which all
intoxicating liquors must move and by
which hereafter the Government will
know the location of every gallon of
distilled liquor within the nations
boundaries except that stored in pri-
vate homes.
In setting forth the ways in which
liQuor may be procured Commissioner
Roper took occasion to issue warning
against profiteering in its sale. The
Commissioner declared that exorbitant
charge for liquor for medicinal pur-
poses certainly places the dispensers
thereof in the class with profteers,
and they will be investigated"
Mr.. Roper also announced that all
liquor seized under Federal law prior
TO last October %, unless claimed I'M
der the 60-day ruling, would be sold
by order of the court under the juris-
diction of which it is held. 1t must be
sold, however, to holder of permit
70 use it either for medicinal or non
beverage purposes.
Both the physician who prescribes
and the pharmacist who sells liquor,
the regulations provide, must have a
permit which may be obtained from
the Federal Prohibition Director. 9th
or details Of the method by which
liquor for medicinal purposes may be
purchased follow:
ANY physician duly licensed to
practice medicine and actively en-
gagged in the practice of such profess
sion may obtain a permit to prescribe
intoxicating liquor, and may then issue
prescriptions for distilled spirits,
wines or certain alcoholic medicinal
preparations for medicinal purposes
for persons upon whom he is in at
tendance in cases where he believes
that the use of liquor as a medicine
is necessary. In no case may spiritu-
Ous liquor be prescribed by one or
more physicians in excess of one pint
for the same person within any period
of 10 days.
"All prescriptions for intoxicating
aiQuor are required to be written on
prescription blanks provided by the
bureau. except that in emergency cases
physiciano may use their regular pre-
Dcription HANKS.
Prescriptions for Intoxicating
liquor may be filed only by registered
pharmacistN who hold permits author
szing them TO do so, or who are en-
ployed by retail druggists holding such
