Shifts in Attitude of 'EDry"

WASHINGTON, Jan, IA Copy
right, 192O)-Did the fact that Presl-
dent Wilson might lift the ban on
wine and beer in the period before
Jan. 10th, when the Constitutional
Amendment on Prohibition goes into
effect, have anything to do with the
delay on the ratification of the Peace
Treaty?
This question is now being asked
here in view of the sudden effort
and unquestionably vitalized backing
now being given 10 the move for a
compromise on the Peace Treaty. It
may be a mere coincidence that Will
iam jennings Bryan didn't make
move for compromise when the
treaty failed to get two-thirds vote
last November and the talk of reach
ing an agreement was in the air, and
it may be a coincidence also that
nothing was done when CongreE re-
convened in December, but it is a
fact that not a single one Of the
noted dry" leaders Of the Senate
has been especially conspicuous in
the overtures for compromise which
have been going on for the last few
months until the last two weeks
when it became apparent that reser-
vations included in the treaty could
not possibly he agreed upon before

It Is something very difircult to
prove and il is interesting merely
because the belief is entertained and
exurcsscd by "wrt" Senators who
are themselves interested in the early
ratification of the treaty. or course,
conversely one might argue that the
