new QUESTION RAISED
ABOUT MEDICAL BEER
Experts Are Considering Situation
in Relation to Stocks Which
Are Not Dealcoholized.

Sufferers seeking relief through
medical beer may be forced to wait
temporarily Tor a source of supply.
Notwithstanding the issuance by the
Treasury Department of regulations
towering the prescription of malt
liquors by physicians. it is indicated
|by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes.
While he had been as yet unable to
study the regulations. Mr.. Haynes
said he had been informed that ex-
lperts of the prohibition unit had
raised the question as to whether. un-
der the regulations which provide for
the manufacture of medical beer un-
L der permit. the brewers would be per-
mitted to dispose of stocks which had
been manufactured prior to the pro-
mitigation of the new rules. and had
mot been dealcoholized for beverage
purposes. This question, he added.
would probably be a matter for con-
ference between the prohibition unit
and the Treasury.
Secretary Mellon. however, has ex-
pressed the opinion that large guam
titles Of beer which have not been de-
lalcoholized were available in brewers
warehouses for medicinal purposes.

TO all the world. AS a philanthropist.
he had been a leader-not a follower.
The speaker referred to Mr.. VOLTS
book, The American Jew as Sol
dier, Patriot and Citizen" written in
answer to the charge that the Jews
had done little in defense OF their
country during the civil war. That
charge turned Mr.. Wolf into vol
cano, and his book to this day Is the
last word IN answer to the aspersions
cast upon Jewish citizenship and pa
triot!sm, he declared.
Lessons From His Life.
Preceding the anniversary exercises
DR.. Simon conducted the regular jew
ish Saturday evening service. At the
conclusion of the service MIR. Wolf
was escorted to the rostrum by Mr..
Lyon. In beginning his sermon.
Honor to Whom Honor Is Due, DIR.
Simon said he hoped respect for old
age would become one of the out
standing virtues of the people of this
country. He said he did not wish
merely to say nice things about Mr..
Wolf, but rather to discuss his life
and achievements, from which valu
able lessons may be drawn.
Mr.. Lyon took charge of the serv-
ices at the conclusion of DIR. Simon $
address and related many instances
connected with Mr.. VOLTS public life
which had helped to stamp him as a
great humanitarian and great
American. On behalf of the congre-
cation he presented to Mr.. Wolf a
solid gold card. certifying that he had
been elected to honorary life member
ship in the congregation. This was
the highest honor. the speaker said.
that could be bestowed by the con-
gregation and one given on but one
other occasion in the past sixty-eight
years. Inscribed on the card was a
sentiment of appreciation of Mr.
VOLTS "Americanism. Humanitarian
ism and Judaism"

THROWING OF CIRCULARS
IN PARKED CARS BANNED
Police to Break Up Practice of Ad-
vertising Wares by That
Method.

An active effort will be made by
the police department to prevent the
throwing of handbills in automobiles
parked along the streets. This prac-
time on the part of firms wishing to
advertise their goods in this manner
is an infraction Of the law and the
police are determined to enforce it.
Many complaints have been re.
ceived by business men who, on re-
turning to their cars after short
period, find the back and front seats
cluttered up with miscellaneous ad-
vertising matter
According to the law, it is not even
permissible to hand out advertising
matter to pedestrians. and it is un-
derstood that the police will pay par
ticular attention to the business sec
tionS of the city.

PROCLAMATION OF PEACE
EXPECTED IN FEW DAYS
Will Be Issued Here as Soon as
Exchange Of Ratifcations
Is Complete.

If the expectations of administra-
tion officials are fulfilled tho formal
proclamation of peace between the
United States and Germany will be
issued within the next week or ten
days. Definite information is lacking
as to the date on which formal rati-
fications of the treaty are to be ex-

to issue the proclamation as soon as
that exchange Is completed.
With the final establishment Of a
legal peace status the question Of
pardons for violators Of war laws
will be taken up with a view to early
decisions. Most prominent among
these cases Is that Of Eugene v. Debs,

tice that the recommendations con-
cerning a pardon for Debs have been

USURPS STATE POWERS

Further complaints against alleged
usurpation by the Interstate Com
merce Commission Of state powers
over railroads were made yesterday
to the Senate interstate commerce
committee on behalf of the National
Association of aRilway and Utilities
Commissioners.
John F. Shaughnessy, chairman of
the Nevada railway commission, tes-
titled that action by the federal COM
mission resulted in raising Nevada
rates to absolutely prohibitive
levels" The commission, he said,
did not investigate the reasonable
ness of state rates before imposing
higher schedules. The ground given
for the commissions action, he said,
was solely that they differed from the
new interstate rates imposed.
1.-The commission appears to have
created. instead of removed, discrimi-
nation" said Chairman Cummins,
commenting on individual rate situa-
tions detailed by the Nevada COM
missioner.
R. Hudson Burr, chairman of the
Florida railroad commission, told the
committee that many state rates pre-
scribed by the commission were "ridi-
culous."

industry, the cause of unrest must
be removed, not temporarily be-

THE three ways of maintaining re-

power on the part of the employer.
an overwhelming power on the part

The question OF whether the District

chairman, explained today. when he
was advised that many persons were
withholding their names because of a
Misunderstanding that to register
would place them on record on the
question of self-government.
while practically all of the citizens
associations have taken a stand on
the question of local suffrage or ma
tional representation during their ex-
istence," said Mr.. York. that is'only
one of a score of problems that the
citizens associations handle.
I'VE are asking all Washingtonians
to join the associations in their re-
spective neighborhoods with a view
to taking an active part in discussing
and passing upon all local questions"

Digging Out
sincere.

A little organization and effort
worked wonders in saving New
York from the consequences of it's
first heavy snowfall of the winter.
Remembering the utter collapse of
the Hylan street cleaning force last
winter, citizens could not avoid
forebodings when Sundays steady
downfall began to engulf the city.
They were to be happily disap-
pointed. Despite the swiftness with
which the twelve and a half inches
piled up, the surface lines were kept
open and traffic was not seriously
obstructed at any time on any of
the main thoroughfares. Yesterday
found the city out and around in
comparative comfort, a striking con-
trast to the days of obstruction and
Inconvenience through which the
city labored a year ago.
The caterpillar tractors seem to
have covered themselves with glory.
according to the first returns. These
small power units were able to per-
form the highly important task of
keeping even with the snowfall as
it arrived, at least on the most i'm
portant circuits. Here is surely a
step in the right direction. A snow
fall is necessarily a deliberate and
prolonged attack, To sit calmly by
until it completely enveloped the
city was obviously an unsound pro-
cedure. If these new and ~ingen-
ious instruments, perfected for the
serious sport Of trench climbing, can
accomplish this new labor of meet
ing blizzard face to face as it
makes its assault, the snow problem
of the large city will have been very
nearly solved.

The Artist i'm Politics

1t is splendid service that Pade-
rewski has done his nation, and small
wonder that he deprecates sugges-
tions that he return to his grand
piano. Art is mighty, but even it's
most personal triumphs are pale
things by comparison with the cheers
Of people-or their cheers mingled
with jeers, for the matter of that.
We believe no case paralleling the
career of Paderewski has been pro-
duced. Here was pure artist, per-
former and composer, grown to ma
turity in the atmosphere of his art,
who was able suddenly to shift his
whole mental activity outward upon
affairs of state and become, effec-
lively and with high honor, the Pre-
mier of his nation. Other artists
have dabbled in politics - Lord
Byron, for instance, in Greece. Lord
Beaconsield was novelist of ability,

lie men has written brilliantly,
chiefly upon political subjects-from
Mazzini to Morley. But the great
artist, be he poet, novelist or mu-
sician, once ripened in his art, has
never before, we believe, shifted sud-
denly and successfully into the po-
litical scene.
Even in England, where the tradi-
tion of great writing persists in

Mr.. Daniels's S Conversion
He Suddenly Wakes Up to the I'm
portancc of Aviation
By "Quarterdeck''

There are many amusing develop
menLs in connection with the con-
sideration of the navy building pro-
gram by Congress. Mr.. Daniels af ter urg-
ing the expenditure of hundreds Of mil
lions on surface ships suddenly jumps
pion of aviation. He declares that he
would wead in the development of air.
craft az we led in conquering the air.;
that aviation is so important chat it
Of the feet, if indeed it may not be
found superior in fighting efficiency TO
other units hitherto deemed to be the
most effective parts of fighting feet
Mr.. Daniels's conversion is as aston
ishing as it is complete. Eight years
ago the Importance of aviation was
urged upon him, but he would pay no
attention to it. He sent us into the
World War with a little squad of
fortyhve aviators. Two years after
the armistice he is aroused As far
as the war was concerned his action is
post mortem. AS far as he is person
ally concerned it is ante mortem, be-
cause he goes out of Office in less than
two weeks.
But this is not the only amusing
naval incident in the last days of his
expiring administration. In the SEN
ate investigation Of the conduct Of the
war Mr. Daniels stigmatized as dis
ciples of Won Tirpitz certain naval Of
ficers who merely advocated an organi-
cation of the Navy Department which
would prepere the navy for war. To-
day the report comes from Germany
that Admiral Won Tirpitz heartily ape
proves Mr.. Daniels's project for the
biggest navy in the world. Won Tir-
pitt agrees with Mr.. Daniels that the
United States may have another great
war-inferentially with England or
Japan, or both-and that we must get
ready for it at once. Manifestly Won
Tirpitz is a disciple of Mr.. Daniels;
or Mr.. Daniels is a disciple of Won
Tirpitz-one or both.
