ings who belong to the organization
will help their sister members show
how strong they are for johnson.

bring their sons and sweethearts
home after the armistice was signed.

Booze Is Admitted BY
Supreme Tribunal, But
Only to Practice Law

A more or less thirsty audience
sat In the chamber OF the United
b states supreme Court yesterday
and awaited a decision on the
constitutionality OF national pro
hibition. There wss no decision.
but booze got into the courtroom
that Is, John Taylor Booze. OF
Chicago, was admitted TO practice.
Mr. Booze had two things about
his name which caused courtroom
habitues to speculate II there was
anything prophetic In his appear
ance. His last name speaks for
itself. but the middle name was
also reminiscent OF a certain once
popular brand. made'in Old Ken
tucky, that Is entitled 70 a free
ad now that it's all gone.
The admission OF Mr.. Booze to
practice WAS as near as the high
est tribunal came yesterday TO a
decision on prohibition. The next
hope OF an oasis goes over for
two weeks, the court having re-
cessed for that period.

ONPROM|SES
FRIENDSHIP TO j. S.
Revolutionary Leader Says
American Citizens. and Inter-
ests Will Be Protected.

MEXICO CITY, May 1s.-Gen. AL
varo Obregon. revolutionary leader.
who has been the main instrument
In the overthrow of Carranza and
who is still a candidate for the Presi-
dency, looks to the day when the
armies of the two American republics
may be Withdrawn from boundary
lines and placed on guard on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts.
Thus did Obregon express his idea
of Pan-American policy in an inter-
view today.
Declaring that Carranza's foreign
policy had been a failure, Obregon as
serted that Mexico's destiny is so
closely involved with that of the
United States that she must follow the
principles of cooperation If she Is to
attain peace and progress.
Guarantees American Rights.
Obregon said he would guarantee
the safety Of American life and prop
erty in Mexico; that he would protect
American interests and would encour-
age the further investment Of Ameri-
can capital in Mexico.
Asked concerning the oil controver-
sy that Carranza's laws had been
tantamount to conflscation, he said:
Vested rights should be protected.
l am opposed to any Interpretation OF
the 1917 constitution, or of Mexican
laws, which exerts a retroactive effect
In it's application to oil properties"
Obregon said that the prospects OF
new revolutionary government were
now so promising that by May "a. the
day GET for the naming Of
visional president complete tranquil
ity would have been restored through
out Mexico. Railroads, telegraph,
and other public services. he said,
would be resumed before that date.
Free OF Banditry.
The country will be free from ban
ditry." Obregon predicted, "for all the
elements which opposed the Carranza
government have adhered to the revo-
luton.
"Carranza is beaten completely. He
has no chance to regain power. Pub
lie opinion and military force are too
strongly against him."
Asked If reports Of disagreement
between him and Gonzales were true,
Obregon replied:
Gonzales and I have harmonized
our views. We opposed Carranza be-
cause he was abusing the peoples
rights of franchise. Now Carrapza
has gone. Should Gonzales ana
quarrel now IT would be so obvious
that we were fighting over personal
ambitions that neither the people nor
our soldiers would support US"
"I believe Carranza was well in
tentioned." Obregon said, but his
outlook was narrow, and perhaps he
was poorly advised by the men clos
est to him"
Obregon said he did not believe 1t
was "opportune" to comment on the
charges of his supporters, that Car
zanZistas, acting under orders, had
attempted to take his life while he
was on his campaign tour. When
asked about his idea of foreign pol
Icy, Obregon declared he believed in
the Monroe Doctrine and cooperation
with the United States.
Obregon reiterated that should Car.
rama or any of his cabinet be cap
tured by the revolutionaries their
safety would be guaranteed.

patton except for failure to fulfill the
treaty terms regarding reparation.

net to obey the allied demand was
reached at an early morning session,

cation with the Reichstag leaders in
Berlin approving the acceptance and
communicating the desire Of the

opposition. .S
The final decision of the allies sets
forth that Germany must.

tory in the Ruhr, or any other part
