Continuing its hearings on the Vol
stead bill to make the prohibition en-
forcement law more drastic, the house
judiciary committee did not find any
friends of beer or the medical boot
logger. Manufacturers of flavoring
extracts, patent medicines and per-
fumes, in protesting against added re-
strictions, were outspoken in opposi-
tion to medical beer and the sale of
concoctions, masquerading as medi-
cine. Chemists appeared before the
committee and protested vigorously
against legislation which, they be-
lieved, would tend to restrict the legiti-
mate use of alcohol in industry.
Representative Ryan of New York
has introduced in the house a bill
which would permit the sale of per
cent beer and IA per cent wine In
states where a referendum showed the
voters wished it. Thisa of course,
won't get anywhere except into a
pigeonhole, but there was some real
solace for the vets in last weeks
news. On Friday more than two-thirds
Of the federal prohibition forces were
discharged on orders from Commits
sioner Kramer, because of lack of
funds with which to pay their salaries.
This condition will last, it was assert
ed, for 40 days, and the bootleggers
all over the country got busy at once.
Mr.. Kramer hoped the police would
supply the deficiency in enforcing the
dry law, but in the cases of many
cities his hope was baseless.

The supreme council is expected TO
convene very soon, especially to take
up the Sileslan problem, and Ameri-
can Ambassador Harvey will sit
with it. But, as was said above, he
will take no part in the discussions
concerning that question, nor will he
even express an opinion on 1t. This
was made clear by Secretary Of State
Hughes in his reply to an appeal from
Poland for American support. Mr..
Hughes explained to Prince Lubom-
risky, Polish minister, that this is in
accord with the traditional policy OF
the United States" not to become in
volved in matters Of purely European
concern. The Polish note accuses the
allies, except France, of dealing with
the whole question mot by principles
Of justice, but by the material inter-
ests of those powers" and it con-
cludes: This is not purely Euro
pean matter. On the just solution of
the matter Of Upper Silesia depends
the stimulation of its productivity,
which has a great Importance in the
re-establishment of the economic sta
bility of the whole world"
SO the Silesian question has created
a most serious situation, and Germany
is sitting back hopeful of a real breach
in the unity Of the allies. But prob
ably wiser councils will prevail, the
anger of the chief actors will subside,
and some peaceful way out of the
muddle will be discovered.
The allies last week sent to Berlin
a note reiterating the demand that
Germany be disarmed by June 80, and
the German government began looking
for means Of compliance, especially
as regards the orgesch Of Bavaria
which has refused to disband. Berlin
informed the reparations commission
that II was ready to pay 15O,OOO,OOO
gold marks Of the billion due May 81.
The sum, partly In gold and partly in
foreign securities, will be paid through
an American bank, probably Morgan's.
The gold will be deposited In the
Reichsbank subject to call and check
sent to New York and from there to
Paris. Thus the transfer of so tons OF
gold from Berlin to Paris Is obviated.
The United States government is not
concerned in the transaction.

Two eminent Americans passed
away last week-Edward Douglass
White, chief justice of the United
States Supreme court, and Franklin
X. Lane, for seven years secretary of
the interior in President Wilson's cab
inets. Both of them succumbed
after surgical operations. Chief
Justice White. native Of Louis
lana, was in his seventy-sixth
year. He served in the Con-
federate army during the Civil war
and was elected to the senate in 1901.
President Cleveland appointed him to
the Supreme court bench, and Presi-
dent Taft made him chief justice.
