PRESIDENT MAY
FREE DEBS WHEN
u. S. Is AT PEACE
Socialist Leader Expected to
Be Given Chance to Regain
Health Outside Prison.

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-Eugene V.
Debs, the imprisoned leader Of the Social
list party, is nearing the end of his con-
finement at the Atlanta penitenttary, ac-
cording to the belief prevailing here to-
day. President Harding's action on the
pardon appeal Is believed to be imminent.
Soon after the exchange of the ratih-
cation of the peace treaty by Washington
and Berlin, the President will issue a
proclamation that the United States Is
once more at peace with the whole world.
Action in the Debs case is expected to
follow speedily.
RECOMMENDATION OF
DAUGHERTY APPROVED.
Attorney General Daugherty has sub
mitted his recommendations to the Prest-
dent and these have been approved ex-
cept for some minor changes as to
phraseology.
While the decision in the Debs case is
closely guarded, it is believed certain the
Socialist leader will gain his liberty. In
no official quarter is it suggested that
there will be a full presidential pardon
with it's restoration Of civil rights, but
instead a Communication that will allow
him to recuperate his broken health out
side prison walls.
DEBS HAS RECORD
OF MODEL PRISONER.
Debs has served about one fourth Of his
ten-year term for violation OF the espion-
age act. He has been a model prisoner
and the reports upon his conduct from
the prison authorities have had no sman
effect in influencing officials here to sx-
tend clemency.
A general cleaning Of the pardon slate
probably will follow.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-The Anti
Saloon League has declared war upon
what its officials assert is a plot TO use
fhe forthcoming ornaments conference a.
pratext for flooding Washington Win
liquor"
According to Wayne B. Wheeler, gen
eraI counsel for the league, some foreign
nubIicists, aware Of the amount or the
Iiauor which may ind its way into the
capital through the embassy privilege
propose TO make the conference the &c
casion for prOclaiming to the world the
farce OF prohibition in the United
States" The Nationwide law viii be on
trial before the world he said, and pro-
hibition enforcement officers and officials
Of the Ant-Saloon League VIII be remise
in their duty If they do not check the
importation Of intOxicants.
Mr.. Wheeler explained that the recent
decision of Federal Judge Mayer in New
York uphoIding the illegality Of the ship
ment of beverage liquor through the
United States has\put q new weapon in
the hands OF enforcement officers by
which abuses that have grown up in the
socalled diplomatic liquor traffic can be
definitely checked
"There is reason, of course continued
Mr.. Wheeler, for permitting the occu-
pants of embassies To bring with them In
their baggage liquors which are to be
used solely within the embassy, but No
good reason can be given for permitting
greater amounts. Exhibits in the case re
viewed by Judge Mayer showed that
greater quantities of liquor are being
cent to the embassies than their occu-
pants or guests could possibly use.
at has been heralded all over the
country that there will be a flood OF
liquor in Washington during the confer
ence. we also have been Informed that
publicists from foreign countries will be
here TO announce that prohibition is a
farce The guests and attaches of the
conference are not in the same position
as the occupants of the embassies, and
even If they were. they cannot transport
liquor into the United States without a
permit. The citizens of the United States
are required to obey the laws of foreign
countries which they visit. and there is
no reason why the same rule should not
apply re."-Copyright, 1921, by Public
