NOT RATIFIED
In 81 STATES
AS Provided by Their State
Constitutions, Says New
jerseys Appeal
DRY" AMENDMENT
SUBJECT OF ATTACK
Suit Filed to Prevent En-
forcement of the Vol
stead Act

Washington, d. c., March 4.-Th'
state of New Jersey, through its at
torney general, Thomas F. McCran, to
day filed in the United States supreme
court its suit seeking to have the con
| stitutional prohibition amendment de
clared null and void, and to prevent
enforcement of the Volstead act. Jo
| seph A. Lanigan, assistant state attor.
| ney general has asked for an early
hearing on the petition, which is direct
ed against A. Mitchell Palmer, United
States attorney general, and Daniel c.
Roper, commissioner of internal rev.
enue.
The bill Of complaint sets forth that
the amendment was improperly drawn,
that in p states the legislatures have
not ratified as provided by their state
constitutions, and that there is no pow
er III Congress to propose constitu.
tional amendment regulating the hab.
its and morals Of the people. 1t re-
cites further that the amendment is a
legislative and not a constitutional
matter and that as such it was i'm
properly passed.
Complaint also is made that the
amendment establishes a Capitalization
of power and authority without the
consent of the people Of the state of
New Jersey and that it is a violation
of their sovereign rights. The Volstead
act having been enacted under author
ity of the 18th amendment, the peti.
tiOn says, it is itself null and void.
Continuing, the petition states that
the Volstead act is illegal because by
''depreciating and in a large measure
destroying the taxable value of real
and personal property within the state"
it is destructive Of the states free and
Independent government, because il de-
prives the state of revenues from Ii.
censes,~ which in 1915 amounted to 81
442 500, and because it interferes with
the internal government of the people
and operates to punish them by heavy
fines, Imprisonment aud forfeitures,
thus preventing the application for Ii
Censes for the sale of non intoxicating
beverages which is authorized and legal
under the laws OF the state.
Complaint is made further that the
act restricts the practice of physicians
and surgeons of the state and the oper-
alton of its penal, correctional and
institutions. that the state
has not concurred in the national
amendment and that IL the act is en-
forced it nullifies the right of the state
to regulate it's internal affairs and fur
ther that the act is not appropriate to
enforce the prohibitiun contained in the
which is expressly con
fned and limited to intoxicating liq-
Iors.
In conclusion. the complaint declares
hat if the amendment is valid. the
-ight of the federal Congress to legis
ate under ii is restricted to matters |
relating to 'the external concerns of |
he United States and within the pecu |
lar domain of the federal government |
o regulate commerce among the |
states" And that the state alone has
he power to enforce the act within its
,wn borders.

WINTERS WORST STORM
IS COMING EASTWARD
WITH GREAT RAPZDITY
EUROPE IN DANGER
OF LOSING POSITION
Is No Longer a Creditor But Is on the
Debit Side of the Ledger, Pre-
mier Nitti Points Out.

London, March 4.-Europe is in dan
ger of permanently losing the position
she held in the world before the out.
break of the World war, says Premier
Nitti of Italy, in an interview printed
by the Manchester Guardian to-day.
He points out that Europe is no longer
creditor, but is on the debit side Of
the ledger,
Public order in Italy is good, says
the premier, and if that country could
get her minimum requirements in coal,
foodstuffs and raw materials she would
be able to reconstitute herself economi-
cally. Abiding to the success OF a
large number of socialist deputies in
the last Italian election, Signor Nitti
says, although the result might make
his work more arduous, it would not
be disadvantageous to the country, be-
cause the present Parliament lis repre-
sentative of all political currents in
Italy, and that is the best safeguard
against revolution"
"No attention must be paid to ru-
mors about bolshevism, ''he continues.
Hard work and moderation are the
slogans of Italy at the present mo-
ment."
Only brief allusion to the Adriatic
problem is made in the interview
1--WE shall find a way out, says the
premier, 'and we and the Jugo. Slavs
will be friends. Don't magnify this
frontier controversy by talking of inn
perialism. Our persistent demand for
the naturalization of the eastern coast
of the Adriatic proves the futility of
the allegation of Imperialism against
Italy. Feeling naturally exists over
Fiume. because the future of some Ital-
ians is Immediately concerned, but
these are really questions of statistics
and not of wild ambitions.
What, after all, is Italy demanding
in the Adriatic? She wants strips of
territory the population of which is
less than the Italian casualties in the
war. Do not confuse issues by talking
of secret treaties. The pact of Lon
don was concealed only because of the
of war, and at any rate, |
those who might complain are, after |
all, the Italian people"
"There are possibilities of revolu-
tion,' says Signor Nitti, in discussing
he general situation, "and these pos
,ibilities threaten us all. The tension
must be relaxed How can the van
pushed pay indemnities unless their
is restored by ALLEGATION
If raw materials? 1t is a great thing
We are not going to suffocate the Turk,
,ut will help him TO his feet like any
,ther ruined people.
Premier Nitti expresses strong con
fiction in favor of restoring normal re-
ations with RUSSIA, adding: There
should be no more meddling with the
Internal affairs of one country by an
,ther."

DISAPPOINTED WITH BoLSHEvISM
Maxim Gorky Says Revolution Not
Followed By Spiritual Revival.

Stockholm. March bitter disap-
pointment with bolshevism is expressed
in an article recently published by
Maxim Gorky, the Russian radical. ac-
cording to a Helsingford dispatch to
the Tidningen. of this city.
"The revolution has not been fol-
flowed by any spiritual revival" the ar
ticle is said to declare, "and has
proved itself unable to make men
more honest. Men in power now are
just as brutal as those in authority
under the imperial regime, and send
as many to prison. Boshevk leaders,
driven by ambition. are performing
experiments upon living people, cspe-
cially the working class"

GUNS OF ALLIES
TURNED ON CITY
Constantinople the Center
of a Very Grave
Situation
TURKISH CABINET
HAS RESIGNED
The Allies Are Prepared to
Force Compliance With
Their Terms

Constantinople, March 3.--ln view OF
the gravity of the situation the cabinet
resigned to-day. The sultan has called
upon Marshal Izzet Pasha to form a
new cabinet
Izzet Pasha is a partisan of Mus
tapha Kemal Pasha, the leader of the
Turkish nationalists. His designation
as head of the new cabinet is regarded
here as distinct triumph for the ma
tionalists over the sultan and the more
conservative leaders.
The Turkish situation has been
growing in seriousness recently from
several causes. The allied supreme
council in London has about completed
its draft of the proposed peace treaty
for Turkey through which the Turks,
while retaining nominal possession of
ConstantinopIe, are to be deprived of
the centuries long control of the Dar-
danelles and the Bosphorus and lose
territory containing approximately
four fifths of the nations population,
To induce compliance by Turkey, and
with a view to welding an influence
for the stoppage OF the renewed mas
sacres of Armenians, the allies have
recently sent strong naval reinforce
ments which are anchored in the Bos-
phorus so that their guns command the
parliament buildings and the sultan's
palace.
Another disturbing factor and most
serious one, is the nationalist move
ment headed by Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, which threatens the overthrow
of the government If the allied terri
torial demands are complied with.
The cabinet which resigned was
formed last October, headed by Ali Ria
Pasha as grand vizier Izzet Pasha,
the new premier, is a former comman
der in chief of the Turkish forces and
was minister of war in the cabinet of
the fall of 1918 that asked peace from
the allies.
