Kramer was considering issuance
Of . warning that the manufacture
or sale Of beer containing more
than one-half per cent Of alcohol

This warning, If issued. will be
to counteract an impression that

the manufacture and sale of beer
despite the provisions Of the Vol

Palmer's rulings covered only
beer for non-beverage or medicinal

Diplomat May Go
Abroad at Hard

By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, March 1O.-Presi-
dent Harding has asked Elihu Root
to assist in shaping the policy Of
the United States toward Europe,
particularly in connection with the
association of nations.
Whether Mr.. Root will 20 abroad
as head of special mission or will
stay on this side as the American
delegate to an International con-
ference Of diplomats is undeter-
mined but the chances are that Mr..
Root will sail for Europe Just as
soon as the Harding administration
is ready to take the European gov
ernments into its confidence.
While this kind of negotiation
ordinarily would be conducted by
American ambassador and minis
ters abroad, all of them were ap-
pointed by the Wilson administra-
ton and it is not feasible to put
into the hands of the new ap-
pointees such 4 delicate task until
they have had a chance to be on
the ground long enough to familiar
ixe themselves with European con-
ditions.
Elihu Root, on the other hand
spent many months in Europe last
summer in connection with the
making Of the international court
of justice, and he already has had
all the background and knowledge
necessary to negotiate with for.
