While the federal prohibition agents
are Selling millions of dollars worth Of
liquors and the bootleggers on the bor-
ders and the moonshiners everywhere
are making small fortunes, n wisp
of hope is held out to the vets. The
Supreme court of the United States
has granted to Rhode Island permits
sion to institute in that court original
proceedings to test the validity of both
the prohibition amendment to the Con-
stitution and the VOlstead enforcement
act. The suit is brought by direction
of the Rhode Island legislature, which
refused to ratify the amendment. 1t is
alleged that the amendment is an in
reference with the state police powers
and a violation of the fifth constitu-
tional amendment, and is "usurpatory,
unconstitutional and void"
A generally overlooked feature OF
the prohibition law which is of I'M
mense interest to thousands of prop
erty owners was brought to public at
tention last week. This section inn
poses a fine of not more than $4,000
or a prison sentence of not more than
two years on the owners of property
upon which are displayed signs or
posters advertising liquors which are
intoxicating.

The conference of the Baltic nations
closed with the appointment Of a COM
mission to work out a plan for a de-
fensive alliance against soviet Russia.
Contrary to expectations, there was
not even discussion of the question of
making peace with the bolsheviki.
Lithuania wanted to form an alliance
with Esthonia and Latvia against Pc
land, and when this was rejected the
Lithuanians virtually withdrew from
the conference. 1t is intimated that
Lithuania may make alliances with
both soviet Russia and Germany,
which would make the position of Po-
land even more uncomfortable than it
now is.

The first cargo of radicals deported
from the United States was landed in
Finland and ON Monday of last week
the reds crossed the border into Rus
STA, where they were greeted by bois-
ferrous crowds of their brother bolshev-
lists. Emma Goldman and Berkman
were the last to cross the frozen river
between the two countries. Prepara-
lions to send over a lot more of that
ilk are proceeding and arrests are of
daily occurrence. In Chicago William
Bross Lloyd, the millionaire COM
munist, and 81 of his fellows were in
dicted for conspiracy to overthrow the
government.
Despite the severest kind of criti-
cism from many eminent citizens of all
parties, the majority in the New York
assembly insisted on the suspension of
the five Socialist members-elect, and
they are now on trial before the as
sembly judiciary committee, charged
with disloyalty. Some of the best law
yers the Socialist party can boast are
engaged in the defense, but the COM
mittee excluded the New York City
Bar association committee, headed by
G. E. Hughes, from independent partici-
patton in the proceedings. That asso-
citation was among those that con-
demned the action of the assembly.
Morris Hillquit, chief counsel for the
defendants, said if the decision was
against them it would "let loose the
violent revolution which we Socialists
have always endeavored to STEM"

Defeated for the presidency Of
France by Paul Deschanel, NJ. Clemen-
ceau has retired from public life with
the plaudits of his associates of the al
lied nations ringing in his ears. Mil
lerand, a strong man, succeeds him as
premier and as president of the peace
conference. Clemenceau's downfall
was not surprising, for, despite his
splendid conduct of affairs during the
war, he had a host of bitter enemies in
France. The new government does not
hold out to Germany any hopes Of
more lenient treatment than did the
old.

The long awaited demand on Hol-
land for the surrender of the former
German emperor was dispatched by
the allies, and near the end of the
week the reply was received by the
supreme council. Though at this time
the reply had not been made public, it
was generally understood that in it
Holland refused to give up the refugee
for trial, considering that this is her
international duty and bearing in mind
the fact that the Dutch constitution
forbids e~xtradition. The Dutch press
denies that feelings of sympathy or
antipathy have anything to do with the.
course adopted by the government. If
the sanctity of Williams refuge is to
be preserved one wonders how Lloyd
George can carry out his prediction
promise to bring him to justice. The
possibility of trying and condemning
him by default has been considered.

Politics, especially in a presidential
election year, seizes on nearly every
thing for its own uses, and that is the
fate that has befallen Admiral Sims
scathing criticism of the navy depart
ment and it's chief, Secretary Daniels.
1t is being treated as a partisan mat
ter by the senate, whose naval affairs
committee has it in hand. The Repub-
housekeeping Senator Borah-are
supporting the admiral, and the Demo-
Gratis by the same token have rallied
to the defense of Daniels. The most
sensational charge made by Sims was
that on his departure for England a
high official of the department said to
him Don't let the British pull the
wool over your eyes. 1t is none of our
business pulling their chestnuts out of
the fire. We would as soon fight the
British as the Germans"
Secretary Daniels fatty denies hav-
ing said this, or anything like it, and
the admiral said he would tell only the
committee the name of the man who
did. More important was the general
charge that Sims never was given
whole-hearted and efficient support by
the department in the prosecution of
the war at sea, and that the cost of
Daniels policy, or lack of policy, was
the loss of many lives and much ship
ping. All of this was contained in a
letter from Admiral Sims to the de-
partment. which the admiral made pub
lie at the demand of the senate sub
committee investigating the matter of
naval decoration awards. The whole
scandal will be given a thorough air
ing, and the Republicans will not
overlook the additional material it NAV
give them for the campaign.
