ON EFFECT Of
BEERPERM|T IS
Some Local Officials Believe
Regulations Will Tend to Hit
Bootleg Whiskey.

Just what effect the new regula.
tions permitting to the use Of beer
and wine will have on the bootleg
ging industry in Washington Is
problematical.
Officials engaged in the suppression
of the illegal sale of alcohol In its
various forms have widely different
views on what will be the outcome.
Some say the prohibition question
will be intensified, while others be-
lieye the use Of wine and beer will
decrease the use of whiskey.
Physicians Obeying Law.
Very few. of the officials believe in
cleased trouble would come from
physicians. II was said the physic-
ians In Washington in the majority
OF cases have adheared strictly to the
rules and regulations OF the phobibi-
ton bureau, and that any bootleg
ging that would come out of the
use Of wines and beers would be by
the bootleggers bringing 1t into
Washington.
1t was pointed out by those who
said the regulation would help the
prohibition situation here, that beer
would be too bulky to cart around the
city wnen DOOtleggers Couiu oHy Se'
as much for II as they would for a
bottle OF whiskey. In the matter OF
wines, II was said, many persons who
use wine were now making an excel
lent grade in their homes at very
nominal cost and that they could not
be induced to pay bootleg prices for
wine. The same argument was used
by those who maintain that beer will
not be the subject Of much boot
Logging.
Physicians IndOrse Regulations.
Physicians generally proclaimed the
action OF Secretary Mellon in issuing
the regulations as a boon to the sick.
1t is understood two of the breweries
in Washington are ready TO make beer
on twenty four hours notice and that
one of them has beer already made TO
ship as soon as 1t is authorized to do 80

message from the women OF japan to
the women of America on the end of

She is Nine. Kali Ysjina, in her

JAPAN SEES FLAW
IN CHINA'S POSITION
Invites Reconsideration Of
Shantung Proposals in
Light Of Treaties.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22---The text OF
the latest note OF the Japanese Govern
ment to China, under date OF October
10, relating to the proposed Shantung
settlement was made public at the
Japanese Embassy to-day. 1t ex ~essed
on the question at issue whenever the
Chinese Government, Sin full apprecia-
ton of the main purpose of the Japa-
nesc proposal and upon giving more
now at issue, and in the interest OF
cordial relations between China and
Japan, shall express its Willingness to
open negotiations"
'The Japanese Government 1t said,
is unable TO comprehend the Chinese
assertion that the Japanese project Is
entirely at variance with the principles
underlying all treaties between China
and foreign Powers"
Transmitted in reply TO the memoran-
dunn of the Chin ESQ Government dated
October 5, the note discussed a number
Of contentious put forward by China
vis-a-vis the Japanese project declar-
ing they "are inexplicit, and in particu-
lar there are a numb sr of points on
which the Japanese Government invites
the reconsideration of the Chinese Gov
ernment" Continuing it said, in part:
For instance, argument is advanced
by her that the rights formerly enjoyed
by Germany in regard to the lease OF
Kiao-chow, having totally expired in
consequence of Chinas declaration OF
war against Germany. should be re-
stored to China without conditions.
This not only is an argument hardly
warranted by the principles and usages
of international law or by treaties in
existence between China and Japan. but
may be said to aim at the Illustration
of effects of the Versailles treaty.
"On May 20 last the German represen-
tative in China declared in his state
ment addressed to tho Chinese Foreign
Minister that by virtue of the Versailles
treaty Germany had renounced all her
rights and interests which she formerly
enjoyed in Shantung under Chino-Ger-
man agreements, and that she was no
longer capable of restoring them direct
to China This declaration having been
duly taken note OF by the Chinese Gov
ernment. they are deemed to be fully
cognizant of the effects produced by
the Versailles treaty. It will be remem-
bered that the Chinese declaration of
war with Germany was made In August,
1917. when more than two years had al
ready elapsed since the transfer of for
mer German rights to Japan had been
fully recognized by China in virtue OF
the Chino-Japanese treaty concerning
kiao-chow and other matters.
THE Chinese contention, therefore,
that the rights OF lease expired entirely
as a natural consequence of the Chinese
declaration OF war against Germany
may be said to be tantamount TO whole
sale abrogation OF treaties In existence
as well as of all established facts"
