Celebrate Barleycorn's Funeral. In every city where the saloon: lights blazed for perhaps the las time, the merrymaking kept up unt the tolling of the midnight hour. Th linger then moved across the ma from east to west, and when the bell sounded the closing warning at Bos ton, the folk at San Francisco sti 'had three hours to drink. Attorney General Palmer, in hi statement as to the policy of the d partment, called attention to the fac W that the authorities in every city an J 'state had been requested to give th f utmost cooperation in the matter o ' enforcing all undisputed provision of the war-time law. The temporar refusal not to proceed against thos selling 2 3-4 per cent beer?althoug evidence against them will be obtain ed with a view to their prosecutio in the event the court decided agains the brewers?does not mean tha persons offering it for sale in terr: , toty heretofore dry will be exemp from arrest and proscution. Saloons selling two and thre* quarters per cent will take a gamb er's chance and stay open at thei own risk, it was emphasized. Regulations Issued.

In a statement given 4 ;o out Satruday night the president an;o nounced that he was without author- t iS ity to suspend operations of the act f y at this time, but that he would do so f j as soon as the army was demobilized. } e Until the very end dealers every- \ j where had held to tne lonorn nope i d that the president would set aside the c j] j. | This confusion extended even into i official quarters. Early today offic- s e 1 ials of the department of justice said f l6|the law prohibited the sale of 2 3-4 2 jper cent beer and light wines, and jthen on the heels of this the district 'attorney at Baltimore announced 1 that he had rceived instructions from \ ^(Washington not to interfere with ' ""jsuch sale^ for the present. After t .

' it The signing of the peace treaty on ' i i_ June 28 marks another event in a:j ' .number of remarkable coincidents' <j r 'connected with some of the major in : cidents of the great war which have f a occurred on the 28th day of various 2 e months during the past five years.1 d From the very beginning of the con- s tt flict the 28th day of the month has s ie been a very fateful day for all the1 g h belligerents. Declarations of war 't ,f have been made on this date, great; j. I battles have reached their turning s Lt point, and governments have crumpl- 2 >r ed on the 28th, according to a com-;c pilation made by the Associated's Press a year ago. -s Five years ago on June 28 (1914) ^ jthe spark was touched to the powder f jtjkeg when Archduke Francis Ferdi- \ il'nand of Austria and his wife were r e assassinated at Sarajevo in Bosenia. 'g n j Austria charged responsibilities c Is for the assassination principally! 5.'against the Serbians. July 28, one! Q1 month after the Sarajevo tragedy, j ,the .European war was launched in 't is [Vienna by this declaration: w i "Thp roval government of Serbia v ? ^ :t not having replied in a satisfactory y d| manner to the note remiteed to it by e' the Austr-Hungarian minister in f Belgrade on July 23, 1914, the ims perial and royal governmnt finds ity'self compelled to proceed to safeel guard its rights and interests and to h have recourse to force of arms. Aus- s i- tro-Hungary considers itself, there- i n fore, from this moment, in a state'p it of war with Serbia." tt1 August 28, j.914, was the date of ,h i-jthe Austrian declaration of war upon -u ,t1 Belgium. On the same day the first' jnaval encounter of the British and'c (Germans took place off Heligoland. I [. j November 28, 1915, marked the ' t r | close of the Austro-German* cam ,'paign in Serbia and the collapse of t I the Serbian governmnt. 'a i, j April 28, 1916, was the date of the , 1?

June 28, 1917, Brazil revoked i lec-ree of neutrality in the war an :ook sides with the allies against th reutonic powers, owing to the loss< sustained by the Brazinian merchai rleet through the German plan ( 'ruthless" submarine warfare.
