THREAT Of WAR
BY PERU TESTS
PEACE PACT

The Kellogg anti-war pact was
put to test again today by the
United States Government to see
whether its influence was suffi-
cient to prevent war between two
hostile nations.
Following word that actual war
was about to break out between
the South American republics of
Colombia and Peru over the lat
ter's occupation of the Amazon
River port of Leticia. Secretary of
State Stimson dispatched a note
to Peru calling attention to it's
obligations under the Kellogg
pact.
The note, sent late yesterday to
the Peruvian foreign minister and
made public by the State Depart
ment, expressed alarm at Colon.

tempting to revise the treaty of
1922, ceding Leticia to Colombia,

Peruvian nationals seized Lett

that time Peru has been concen;

prevent its recapture.
Referring to the military mea-
SureS taken by Peru to prevent
the reestablishment of Colombian
authority in Leticia, Stimson said
he would mot be frank" if he did
not "candidly state" that he was

SENATE ASKED
TO SPEED up

Appealing to the entire mem
bership of the Senate to work
shoulder to shoulder" to pass
necessary appropriation bills by
March 4, Senator Frederick Hale
(R.) Of Maine, chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
today demanded that his party
hasten enactment Of the money
measures so as to give the Demo
Gratis a clear legislative field in
the extra session which they
must call.
Senator Hale pointed out that
less than six weeks remain for
the present session of Congress
to do business and that IN that
time 10 appropriation bills must
be passed. Otherwise the task
of enacting supply bills will con-
front Congress at the extra ses-
sion.
He recalled the war sessions of
Congress when, because of the
crisis, Democrats and. Republi.
cans worked together to enact
legislation. He demanded that
they resort to this policy now
when, he said, the country is fac
ing perhaps a more serious
crisis"
Although Congress may make
all possible reductions in ex-
penditures, Senator Hale said
that in the next fiscal year the
country will face a deficiency in
it's budget of between $400, 900, 900
and $500, 100000 unless addi-
tional revenue measures are en-
acted or obligations fixed by law

Similar warning is given by the Jer-

vice to the friends of beer to watch

I'm a broad sense" records the Rock
Island Argus. the Supreme Court has
inclined to the view that within rea-
sonablc limits it is the prerogative of
Congress to fix an arbitrary line Of de-
marcation between intoxicants and non
intoxicants. On at least two occasions
the court has held that the one-half Of
cne per cent definition laid down by
Congress in the Vo,stead act did not
overstep reasonable limits, but On
neither occasion did the court under
take to declare that any definition of
an intoxicating liquor is in accordance
with fact. There is no reason to as
sumo at present that it would charge
Congress with exceeding reasonable
limits" This position is taken also by
the Asbury Park Evening Press and the

the old evils" and the PHILADELPHIA

the bar room were a continuing urge in
the industrial effort for prohibition,
through the period of war prohibition
and in the action that finally brought
about the eighteenth amendment. The
saloon had become sore in the COM

From the Des Moines Tribune.
1t was graceful compliment that
President Roosevelt paid former Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes by calling in
person to deliver his fluctuations upon
the occasion Of the juristS ninety-sec-
ond birthday.
It was also serving of additional
notice that the new President does not
intend during his term in office to be
bound by the bootless traditions that
accompany that Office.
In so far as the rule against personal
calls by the President relieves him from
social obligations that might become
irksome, 1t Is q valuable custom.
But as q mere manifestation Of that
coldly formal dignity with which some
people would invest the presidency. it,
