WHOLE PROPOSITION.

Washington. u c., June 4 The
new Nolstead bill designed TO make
the eighteenth amendment autipht
appeared to be blocked today By an
array OF opposition composed largely
OF dry congressional leaders who are
fearful that prohibition enforcement
ii carried to extremity may defeat its
own ends
The bill not only would prohibit the
prescription OF beer as medicine, but
would lay down new and drastic reFu-
lations for the use Of Industrial ajcO.
hCl Representative FOlSte1d Of Min
nesOta, its author, wants the house
rules committee to declare 1t an
emergenCv measure and railroad it
through the house AS quickly as
possible subject to no amendment
and only two hours debate Prospects
are that the committee viii not heed
his request
To meet this situation. Senator WI
lis, ONO, Republican, introduced a bill
in the senate practically limited 10 the
prohibition OF beer prescriptions. He
stated that he did not expect much
opposition 10 a bin OF such restricted
scope His purpose was simply to
prevent the Widespread use Of beer az
medicine while the house argued ont
the question OF further tightening up
the prohibition laws, he explained.

U. s. SOLDIERS WANT
TO STAY IN GERMANY
Majority Want to Re-Enlist in oc-
cupation Forces Reductions
Made.

Washington, June 26.-American
soldiers on the Rhine do not want to
come home. Many Of them insist on
re-enlisting, and as it is the policy
Of the War Department not to re-
fuse re-enlistment of men with good
records the practice is proving en-
barrassing in the face Of the absolute
necessity Of reducing the strength Of
the army to the size decreed by Con-
gress.
The number of officers in the A
merican army of occupation has been
reduced to that required for a force
Of about $500 enlisted men, but the
enlisted strength in Germany re-
mains at about $1,000 men. The
original intention was to have an
enlisted strength on the Rhine Of a
bout 5000.
Secretary Weeks explained today
that It was expected that the e. fist-
ed force on the Rhine would % re-
.duced to about $500 by July 1,
when the reduction Of the army must
begin, but there has been a general
inclination shown blythe doughboys
over there to remain in Germany.
With few exceptions, he said, men
have applied for re-enlistment.
