WILSON WILL LOT I RECIND DRY ACT t Peace 31st be Declar'ed Before War t1ime Prohibition will be Lifted. Ar guients on Trilidity Before Su- t Preie Court. Washington, Nov. 20.-While the su preine court was hearing argument to day onl the validity of the wartime prohibition act word went out from the White House that the President I would not rescind the "dry" act until peace formally had been declared. This was expected to set at rest the ever recurring rumors that the "dry" ban would be lifted by the President, irrespective of early ratilleation of the treaty of Versailles.

U C 1 Swift & Cc enate to act on the treaty at the ex raordinary session was regarded by rany administration officials as pro luding the ending of the technical tate of war much before the consti utional prohibition act became cf ective next January 15. ' Should such prove the case the only possibility of a "wet" Christmas vould be for the supreme court tol leclare the wartime act unconstitu lonal. Arguments on the pending ,ases 'will be concluded tomorrow, but is the court begins a recess Monday, 1o decision is expected until it re 3onvenes on December 8. The right of congress to prohibit the manufacture and sale of Intoxicat ing liquors was sharply attacked and vigorously defended during the argu ments. Elihu Root and others contended that the wartime act and the Volstead enforcement measure not only vio lated the fifth constitutional amend ment prohibiting the taking of prop erty without just compensation, but were inoperative owing to the cessa tion of hostilities and he demobiliza tion of the army, which were respon sible for their enforcement. Solicitor General King and Willian T. Frierson, an assistant attorney gen eral for the government, argued, how ever, that the state of war still ex isted and that It was congress' intent to provide wartime iprohibition until the peace treaty was ratifled. The argumen.;, which will be con cluded tomorrow, were In appeah brought to the supireie court. fror Kentucky, where the wartime prohl bition act was declared unconstitn. tional, and from New York, wlier( federal court decrees susfained bott the wartime and the enforcement act and disnislsed Injunction proceeding. sought to enable Dryfuss, Blum & Co to remove whiskey from bond, an( Jacob Ruppert, a brewer,' to mlanufac ture beer containing more than one half of one per cent alcohol. >fit from murces 1 Public does not , It insists on being k Company says its raction of a cent per ve we are not telling hat there are hidden The Facts: on our entire busi -1918 amounted to 'er dollar of sales, or cent per pound, and >fits from hides and r by-products. ,fts from 1l sundry es...

XATIONAL GUARD WILL JE REVIVED wI Little Interest Shiown at 'J his Time. ca Washington, Nov. 20.-National t guardsinen recently discharged frbm _ federal service "are surfeited with military activities, according to the annual report of 31aj. Gen. Jesse MI. Carter, chief of the militia bureau, Is sued here today and summarrAng re ports froni vari'ous departments. Those who served in France 'not, only de cline to enter the national guard, but by their talk disincline others to do so," reports from the iSoutheastern dc- K partment said. This mental attitude will be only temporary. General Carter thinks, and that within a few months general reorganization of the national guard will be possible. Pennsylvania plans now new units, Maryland desires a regiment of infan try, using the Second state guard as a nucleus. Now Jersey will' transfer p the Second field artillery ihto infantry and organize one additional regiment; i New York plans one regiment of engi- t. neers, four squadrons cavalry, two regiments field artillery, .36 companies coast artillery, 15 regiments infantry, p two field hospitals, three ambulaice companies and two signal companies. General Cartel said. Program; of I other states have not been reported. Y Inspecting officers reported general- 1 ly satisfactory condition inl state headqIuarters with the exception of Texas. "The issuing of ordirs and the gen eral administrative conduct of nation- 1 al guard affairs in the offlee of the ad- o jutant general, State of Texas, have I not been satisfactory," the report stat cd. "There appears o be no coordina tion with the officers of the adjutant general's department and the United States property and disbursing offic er, the latter officer forwarding uni forms and equipment to organizations that have been disbanded or moved to other stations, his reason being that information relative to the changes has not been furnished him by the adjutant general's office. There has been apparent and unnecessary waste of government funds in the shipment and handling of federal property in the hands of the state authorities. "The large majority of officers in the Texas guard appear not to be alive to the obligations they accepted when volunteering in the state organiza tions." Fl'I'iiiEli.
