If there was some way of putting a little more "pep" into court procedure business could be disposed of with greater promptness and the docket would not be congested. The present ses sion of the court is no exception to the rule?it is doing just as much business as usual, but there seems to be a lot of lost time and j lost motion in the way our courts tare run. Monday morning there was much delay in getting started on account of arrangements not having been made for a steno grapher and when the docket was sounded there were the accustom ed requests for continuances or postponements of the cases near the top of the list. And there were j thirty-six jurors, the usual number of bailiffs and all the court officers sitting around on the payroll. On Monday, October 30th, the Civic League will give a very in formal tea at the Carnegie Lib rary from six to nine, for the purpose of raising funds for new and interesting books.

RULING {Until Decision is Ren dered by Supreme Court to Expedite Hearing Washington, Oct. 25 (By the Associated Press).? Enforcement of the national prohibition law with respect to foreign shipping within American territorial waters will await a final interpretation of that section of the statute by the Supreme Court, it was indicat ed today by high administration officials. This interpretation is ex pected late next month, or in De cember. Decision to withhold enforce ment of the law as construed by Attorney General Daugherty was formally communicated today to Associate Justice Brandeis. of the supreme court who subsequently refused to grant various steamship lines a stay against the enforce-1 ment. of Federal Judge Hand's de cision at New York dismissing, their application for a permanent in junction restraining federal agents from applying the Volstead law. Justice Brandeis, was under stood to have agreed with counsel for the government and the steam ship line that, the decision, to withhold enforcement had removed any necessity for - a legal stay through a writ of supercedas which has been requested by the lines and acquiesced in by the department of justice. The* decision as to en forcement Was incorporated by Sec retary Mellon to customs officers and" prohibition agents which w^s drafted after Mr. Mellon had con ferred at length with Attorney Gen eral. Paugherty. The order was ex plained in this, statement by the Treasury Secretary. "Regulations are being prepared by this department for putting into effect the opinion of the Attorney General of October C. 1922, but the subjects to be covered are va rious and of a complicated nature which are requiring considerable time. and the atention of several different departments affected. Un til the new regulations have been worked outr those at present in force will prevail, and I have to day issued to the chief of the di vision of customs and the commis sioner of internal revenue. an or der to that effect. "Therefore, until the new regu lations are available, enforcement of the law will continue as here tofore. For instance, foreign ships entering American ' territorial wa ters with liquor on board as cargo under seal can for the present proceed under such seal. to their destination in a foreign port and sea stores in such foreign ships which are required to be sealed on arrival of the vessel within Ameri can ports, can, when such stores are required for the use of the of ficers and crew of the vessel, be j opened only from time to time for j withdrawal for such purposes, must j be immediately resealed. This ap-1 plies to foreign vessels only and of course," forbids the sale or serv ice "of liquors to passengers within American territorial waters. "When the regulations govern ing enforcement of the law are completed and aproved, notice will be given of" the date on which they will become effective and a rea sonable time, will be given to for eign shipping to meet the new con- J ditions. j "In the meantime, there is a pos- { sibility that the case which is be-I ing expedited and which is ex pected to come before the supreme court during November, may be i decided, and in that event, the con- j templated regulations in prepara tion may have to be modified to' conform to the anticipated decision ! of the court." Counsel for the steamship com-; panies in their petition to Justice j Brandeis contended that enforce-! ment of the Daugherty ruling i would cause irreparable damage to their business and would lead to diplomatic difficulties. A statement' by the department of justice em phasized that the government did not concur in these contentions and acquiesced in the petition for a writ solely on the ground that preparations had been completed to expedite consideration of the case by the supreme court. One of the elements entering into a discussion to defer'enforce ment is understood to have been a desire to avoid any possible in ternational embarrassments pending a final interpretation of the law by the court of last resort. Pro tests against enforcement of th/s law are expected from foreign gov ernments and more particularly from those whose laws require the serving of alcoholic beverages t?, members of the crews of ships flying their flags.

LLOYD GEORGE OUSTED BUT NOTWHIPPED Retiring Premier Goes Before British Pub lic to Defend His Policies London, Oct. 25?Former Prime Minister Lloyd George started off h,is campaign in London today with a fighting speech to an enthusiastic meeting of the Coalition-Liberal members of Parliament, throwing; down the gauntlet to the. Conserva tives whose atack upon the govern-5' ment. he declared, left no alterna tive but to "spread the war." The litle Welshman stood by his Manchester speech of last 'Satur day, reiterating his intention to sup port any party or government pur suing a policy of peace., economy and steady progress, neither revolu tionary nor reactionary-. "We are confronte'd," said Mr. Lloyd George, "with a very impor tant decision affecting not merely the future of those here and those who support them in the country, but a decision which affects the in terest of the country itself. That is a more important matter for us all." He counseled calmness, and cour age, and asserted the interests of the country must come, first. "I have seen parties destroyed by personal resentment," continued the ;former premier, "I have seen parties rendered impotent by personal re sentments. I have seen their judg ment deflected, and for that rea on they are not making the con tribution they ought to the well being of the people for whose pros perity we are deeply concerned. We j will not make that mistake, what-j ever happens. We will consider the I land to which we are deeply at tached first. Its interests must be deposited in our hearts, its inter eats must be the highest in our con cern?Great Britain first: an^ party, even our own, second and eve^n "last. "Xow, that is our policy. We have stood for national unity, that is, unity of all men, all creeds, parties and sections for the purpose, first, of all. of winning the war, and af-. terwards extricating the cduntry from its after-the-war difficuties." It was not their fault, declared Mr. Lloyd George to his hearers, if a party faction had arisen and unity had been for the moment broken. The war had been won and the country was getting through its troubles in peace gradually, r.nd throughout the world re-establish ment and successful grappling with, financial difficulties was being ac complished. "Our credit was being built up in a# way that amazed the whole world," continued he. "Trade was beginning to turn unemployment was going down. In fact success was becoming so manifest that some people thought it time to seize the profits." Factionalism had been revived, and the success of the coalition had made some of the ablest, most experienced and most honorable men in the con servative party say: "This isn't Jannock.' (provin cial English for "fair play.") *T can understand," he added, "a revolt of under-secretaries * * *,< I can also understand for the rea sons indicated why the wiser heads of the party did not join in the revolt. "The present may look prosper ous or promising. The future is dark and difficult and the wiser men hesitated, were reluctant, apart from the fact that as Lord Balfour said, there are certain things gentlemen don't do. "But what I can not understand is why the majority party took that line." said the former pre mier, laying emphasis upon those words. "It is vital that we should not allow our view of the eastern: transactions to weigh against the; country's interests. This is the! thing that matters at the begin-1 ning, at the end, and all the time." He expressed doubt as to whether ? the conservatives alone could de- ! fend the fabric the institutions and? the principals of the country for' which millions had faced death. "We are here," he declared, "to j see how the situation which has I been brought about by indiscreet, [impulsive, thoughtless men" shall be so handled that Great Britain shall not come to any harm by their deed." Mr. Lloyd George said he was unable to explain the reasons for the breakdown?that he was per plexed when he tried to find what! the differences were Mr. Lloyd George asserted that j conditons here were tranquil and | that he had seen conditions abroad I worse than now. The ex-premier credited the coalition with settling the trouble! between Turkey and Greece "by strong and firm action which I Showed Great Britain meant to ! have peace on terms honorable to jour country and which would be {one of security for the world." To have peace, he said, one must ibe strong. Great Britain was not I going to extend her rcsponsibili Ities, ''but she must not be afraid ? of her responsibilities. A Britain I that goes to the councils of tlu ? world afraid of her responsibilities I is a Britain that will cease to j count from that moment." He said that in order to follow ! the traditional policy of the coun try, "we must stand for modera tion in the treatment of foreign [affairs and work with our allies j to the best of our power, but not I hinder the great British policy for [which this country has always I stood. We must not be tied V?e j hind the chariot of any other land." j On the question of reparations, Mr. Lloyd George said there should be no attempt to impose on Ger many any payment beyond her ca pacity. 'And what is within her j capacity." he added, "she should I pay * * * "I do not stand for a policy that Would say Great Britain must pay America all her debt but that she must exact nothing from Germany from France or from anybody else. * * * I am for fair play but we must have it from our own citi zens too." Mr. Lloyd George said he had never changed his mind regarding the League of Nations and favored the enrolment of all the European nations as its members. "I am in favor," he declared, "of making every reasonable concession in or der to induce the United States to associate itself with that great body if it can be accomplished. For until you get all the nations of Europe in" (and I still think you can get the United States there) the League of Nations wili be crippled * * * "Working with the United . States of America bought to be one of the chief pur ! poses of any government. There is j more in common between us than with any other land. Our ideals approximate in a way that prob ably the ideals of no other two countries do. If these two coun tries would work together it would be a most sure guarantee for the just peace which is the only last ing peace.'* The remainder of the former Premier's speech deals with home policies. In it Mr. Lloyd George after tilting at Reginald McKenna for changing his allegiance from Asouith to Bonar Law advocated improvement in trade and increase in employment, urged stern eco nomic measures and asserted that capital and labor must work to gether. Regarding the attitude to be adopted, toward the coming elec tions, Mr. Lloyd George said: "Labor has declared ruthless war upon us. In self-defense, there fore, you have to fight and resist the onslaughts of the success! ul party of this country."
