War-tune prohibition is to he effective and to be enforced until the President proclaims the war ended, or demobiliza tion of the Army completed, and It is understood he will not do this until the Senate 'ratifies the Peace Treaty. TWIh is the status of the situation resulting from both houses of Congress having passed the war-time prohibition enforce ment ImII over the President's veto. Whether we are to have a brief "wet" spoil before constitutional prohibition be comes effective next January 1(1 and the length of su<fli "wet" spell depends upon when the Senate ratifies the Peace Treii iy. The prospects are that upon the ratification of the Peace Treaty the Pres ident wiTI proclaim the war ended, which automatically will end war-time prohi bition. Hetween then and January 10 the country will be without national pro liilwtion and the wet places will have an opportunity to' "clean up," while the thirsty ones in dry territory will take advantage of the opportunity to "stock up" for the long drought that will not end until the Constitution is again amended. ?
