SIGH Of RELIEF
GREETS TRUCE
DUBLIN A PEACEFUL CITY AFTER
MONTHS OF WAR.-MAY BE
PERMANENT.
TERMS OF ARMISTICE FIXED
Lloyd George and De Valera Will Con
fer Soon-AIl South ireland and
All England Hope for Perma-
nent Peace.

London.-With something like an
immense sigh of relief the entire coun-
try has greeted the news of the cessa-
tion Of warfare in Ireland and Eamonn
de Vaelra's coming conference with
the British prime minister at London,
which It is fervently hoped will lead
to full restoration Of peace, the pros
poets OF which even the more cautious
political observers regard as brighter
than for long time.
The careful wording OF Mr.. De Va,
lera'S acceptance of a conference is in
terpreted in some quarters of the Irish
republican leader feeling his way with
his own followers. 1t is thought, how
ever, that truce deliberately embark
ed upon cannot well be deliberately
discarded, and that alone is a consid-
Grafton of great promise.
The terms of the truce were agreed
to at British military headquarters in
Dublin. The provisions of the truce
cover fully all the ground for a TEN.
porary peace between the active Irish
workers and the crown forces. All at.
tacks, searches and raids, surveillance
and provicatiOns are to be abandoned
by both sides.
Mr.. De Valeras acceptance Of the
responsibility for fulfillment of the
truce by the Irish republican army is
held to dispel the idea in some quar-.
tiers that the activities of the Sim Fein
are beyond control OF the political
chiefs. Whether that is so will be
tested by the course of events after
the truce comes into effect.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre.
tary for Ireland, will remain at the
Irish office watching the situation,
AS Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-.
mier. is remaining in London, it is
conceded that Premier Lloyd George
principal task will be to bring him and
Mr.. De Valera together.

STILL OPERATORS

GOVERNMENT YIELDS TERRIFIC
WEAPON TO ENFORCE COL
LECTION OF TAXES.
WARRANT OF DISTRAINT
internal Revenue Service Makes Col
lection of Tax Regardless of
Whether the Accused Person
is Guilty.

Memphis.-The property seized of
Caesar Cattaneo under warrant of dis
traint for Illicit distiliing will be sold
at public aution for cash, on Wednes-
day, July 81, 121, in front of the post
office. Capleville, Tenn.
Now comes the internal revenue SER
vice with the old, old warrant of dis
traint as an element in the matter of
illicit distilling and possession of liQ-
uor unlawfully. And persons who are
engaged in this violation Of the ma
tional prohibition act and those who
contemplate taking it US as means
of acquiring money will do well to give
heed to the operation of this warrant.
1t should be understood that the rev.
enue department has nothing to do
with the prosecution Of cases coming
under the prohibition act. That branch
of the government has to do only with
the collection of the tax which the
government demands for the distilling
of liquor or for the sale of liquor. The
fact that such distilling is prohibited
by law does not relieve any persons
from payment of the assessment which
is levied on the product, for this must
be paid the government whether it is
produced lawfully or unlawfully.
The enforcement of the prohibition
act and the prosecution Of cases aris-
ing out of such violation is vested in
other branches of the government.
Therefore, the revenue department
does not wait until a person charged
with violation of the law is convicted
before descending with a demand for
the required tax. The procedure
briefly is this: The prohibition en-.
forcement officer makes a raid. He
finds a still of liquor An arrest may
be made or not. He makes a report
to the district prohibition enforce
ment office. That office reports to
the internal revenue department. The
word is sent to the collector of in
ternal revenue in the district in which
the violation occurred. The deputy
collector proceeds to collect Uncle
Sans tax.
Assuming the tax or assessment is
not paid, the deputy collector, under
the warrant of distraint, is empow-
cred to seize any property whatsoever.
located at any place, and sell the
same for the assessment. 1t may be
the personal property Of any nature.
such as clothing, furniture, automo-
bile, stock, money in the bank, or
anything Of like nature.
1t may be the realty Of the person
named in the prohibition officers re-
port. His home may be taken and
sold, or other realty he owns. Fur
thermore, it is not necessary that the
property sold under the warrant Of
distraint be located in the state where
the alleged offense was committed.
The government looks to securing the
payment Of the assessment regardless
of where the property is located.
1t may appear as queer, in fact, may
seem harsh, that property can be
seized and sold without the owner
thereof being found guilty first. But
it is done and it readily must be seen
what a terrific club the government
Yields in securing payment of the tax
it exacts from the illegal liquor
maker.

CONGRESS is SHARPLY DIVIDED
ON HIS LEGISLATIVE PLANS.
is IN DEFIANT MOOD.
FARM BLOC HOLDS POWER
Shelving Of the Bonus May Be Accom-
pIished, But Strong Sentiment
Develops Against Taking a
Senate Recess.

Washington. President Harding
faces the first real test of his leader
ship as a result of his demand that
congress sidetrsck the soldiers bonus
bill, pigeon-hOle other pending legisla-
ton, and give its whole-hearted atten-
ton to the purpose for which the spe-
cial session was called, namely, tariff
and tax REVISION.
Polls indicate that the outcome will
be fifty-fifty affair. Administration
leaders were confident that they would
be able to shelVe the bonus bill until
next winter, although they admitted
that the results would be close. 1t was
generally conceded. however, that the
president would have to gain strength
from unexpected sources before he
could carry into effect his desire that
the senate take a recess as a means Of
facilitating committee action on the
tax and tariff bills.
The bipartisan senatorial combina-
ton known as the agricultural bloc,
mastering 80 votes, appeared to have
control of the situation. So far as
the bonus is concerned, it is taking
no stand and its members will be wide
ly divided on that question of recon-
| hitting the bill. On the question OF
taking recess and abandoning all 9TH
er legislation except tax and tariff,
! however, it is in a defiant mood
Far from agreeing to this portion OF
Mr.. Hardings program, the bloc was
| busily engaged seeking new methods
to hold the senate on the job until the
| farmers relief program was put
| through. The old law of 1850 was
| dragged out from the musty archives
and prepared for application in the
| drive for additional agricultural legis-
lation. Under the provisions Of this
act senators who absent themselves
without good cause are liable to a fine
OF $25 for each day of their absence.
| This law was invoked several years
ago in the house and vastly improved
attendance resulted. 1t is believed that
enforcement of the law in the senate
would lessen the difficulty OF securing
| a quorum these days.
The most sorely perpleXed element
In the senate is that group OF 80 sena-
tors who come up for reelection next
year. Prospects are that the admins
tration will receive little support from
this class of senators either on the
republican or democratic side. Not
withstanding such defections, admins
tration leaders felt certain they would
'be able to round up so or more votes in
favor OF sending the bonus back to the
finance committee after the president
delivers his address.
The suggestion that the senate pro-
ced to pass the bonus and then have
the house assume responsibility for
sidetracking its until next winter has
been received with indignation among
representatives.

VERSAILLES TREATY
IS STILL BEST YET.
SENATE COMING AROUND TO 1T
SLOWLY BUT SURELY-MAY
BE RESUBMITTED.
HUGHES DRAFTS CHANGES
Effort to Pacify the Senate Hostiles
Will Be Made in Advance of the
Presentation Of the Propo-
sition to Change.

Westinghouse begins to look as il
the treaty Of Versailles will be re-
submitted to the senate after all, as
the easiest way of settling the COM
plications of peace with Germany.
No official admission of this is OBJ
tainable, nor is any anticipated, but
there are indications that a way will
be sought to reconcile the irrec0nciIa-
bles, showing them that the admins
tration will welcome every change
they care to make, so that the measure
will be the treaty of Versailles only in
name and will actually be very much
the sort of covenant contemplated by
the treaty of amity, commerce and
navigation they want.
Secretary of State Hughes is sup
posed to have completed the revision
of the treaty or rather to have ready
the recommendations for modification
by the senate. The treaty itself must
be submitted las is" 1t is the senate 8
job to make the reservations.
This would make one bite of the
cherry; 1t would serve instead of the
treaty with Germany and the treaty
with the allies that the experts say
will be required to secure us the ad-
vantage coming to us as victors in
the war.
Natural. the effort to pacify the
senate host Is will be made in ad-
vance Of any presentation of the prop
osition, for the hope and desire OF the
administration is to avoid the sort Of
row Johnson, Borah, LaFollette and
some others are expected to raise. As
one of the authorities puts it:
The administration is urging peace
and not a sword. There is no desire
to force anything on anybody, but a
real purpose of finding the simplest
way Of protecting American interests
and furthering the welfare Of the
world"

The inevitable battle over the tar
lift was opened by a minority report
from the Democratic members of the
ways and means committee of the
house. The bill as drafted is de-
nounced as conspiracy to benefit a
few favorites at the expense of all
humanity" The report deals especially
with the probable effect Of the bill
on American commerce and with the
substitution of the system Of Ameri-
can valuation as a basis for levying
tariff duties. Calling attention to the
fact that the foreign trade Of the
United States fell from $1,18S, 255. 40
last July to $527, 37S,825 In May, 1921.
the report says:
Certainly the natural process is
preferable to the infected knife Of In

the industries to protect and those to
destroy, can reap the harvest their
