By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
The United States has launched tho
great experiment. JuBt after tho.
treaty was signed that nominally
brought the war to an end, our war
time emergency prohibition act went
into effect and tho entire country be
enmo ofllclally "bone dry." Presuma
bly deinoblllzntlqn will bo completed
within two months or ho, and there
will bo u "wet spell" at least In somo
states until tho constitutional amend
ment goes Into effect on January 10;
At present thero Is considerable con
fusion concerning tho scope and tho
enforcement of tho emergency law. A
federal court lias ruled In favor of
beer and wine containing not to ex
ceed 2 per cent of alcohol and In
many localities tho dealers are taking
a chanco and dispensing thoso drinks.
yln most states tho old and now lnws
on' prohibition prevent oven this. In
any case tho manufacture and sale of
all drinks with tho greater alcoholic
content aro barred and Attorney Gen
eral Palmer has ordered rigid enforce
ment of tho law rotating to them.
. Tho "wets" havo been making a
gamo but losing fight, and tho "drys"
havo rofused to yield at any point.
Tho forces of tho latter In congress
aro planning to pass measures to pro
vent tho country from going on a
whisky-drinking basis between thu
tlmo of demobilization and January 1(1,
and to put a stop to the sale of weak
beer and light wines at once, regard
less of court rulings.
Though tho United States Is now tho
only "dry" country, there may ho an-
, other boforo very long, for tho United
Kingdom alliance, encouraged by tho
success of tho American prohibitionists,
has opened a 'campaign to put Great
Britain on tho snmo basis. American
methods will bo followed and Ameri
can speakers Imported. London corre
spondents predict that to deprlvo tho
Britisher of his ale, porter and beer
would almost precipitate a revolution.
British labor. Is against prohibition,
but so Is American labor; and it may
bo that John Bull will In tho not dis
tant future bo reduced to drinking
"lemon squashes" and "minerals," Tho
world will watch tho American experi
ment, ono of tho greatest ever mude
In economics, with Intense Interest.
Ills great task abroad completed ho
far as might be, President Wilson has
returned to his domestic duties. On
the homeward trip ho signed bills and
read documents and otherwlso pre
pared himself for tho contest that con
fronts him In tho United StntcH. Tho
goal ho has set for himself Is the rati
fication by tho senate of tho peace
treaty,' Including tho covenant of tho
Leaguo of Nations. Victory will not
como easily, though It probably will
come, maybo after tho covenant has
been amended to meet the objections
now made by a considerable number
of senators. Thoso who aro against
tho leaguo In any form aro very few,
but BtubboVn. If Mr. Wilson Is equal
ly stubborn, the whole matter Is likely
o become a partisan Issuo despite tho
efforts of many party lenders to pre
vent this. It Is Intimated that, If tho
senate mnkos evident Its Intention to
refuse to ratify, the president will
withhold tho trenty for tho tlmo being,
and that would at pneo make It an out-nnd-oift
party question, There Is precedent-for
such a course.
If tho Issue Is put up to the people
to decide, they have had plain warn
ing that, In case the United States
becomes a member of the League of
Nations, It will be called on soon to
begin assuming International duties
and responsibilities. Dispatches from
Paris say President Wilson will pro
pose to congress tho acceptance of a
mandate for Constantinople and -for
Armenia.
Senator Borah, rampant opponent of
the league, broke out In a new placo
Inst week, with charges that the propa
ganda of tho league to enforce pence,
headed by ex-President Taft, Is
financed by Wall street, Mr. Tuft's or
ganization glories In the fact'that most
of Its financial support comes from
men of big business and broad vision.
"It may be," said Senator Borah,
"that the occasion for the opposition
upon the part of small men Is not n
limitation of vision; It may possibly
bo that their Investments nre not tho
sumo and their Interests uro not tho
sume.
"It may be that they nre confining
themselves to the Interests of their
own country and believe In the tradi
tions and policies of their country, and
It may possibly bo thut thoso who
tnko a wider view of tho matter are
thoso who huVo lnrgo Investments In
other countries, and who proposo to
hnvo more Investments there, which In
vestments will bo worth very llttlo un
less they aro underwritten by tho Unit
ed States government."
It Is not easy to seo why American
business men should bo criticized bc
causo they wish to seo pence perma
nently established In Europe so that
thoy can resume trade, commerce and
Industry with tho Europeans., An In
stance of what they are getting rendy
to do is supplied by tho news that
three great American construction con
cerns havo been awarded a contract
for tho rebuilding of tho Nuncy district
of Franco at an estimated figure of
$250,000,000, which sum may bo dou
bled. Dispatches from Weimar declared
that the national nssembly would at
onco tuke up the pence treaty and that
a mnjorlty for Its ratification was as
surcil. Tho Germans had been notl
lled that the blockade would bo lifted
as soon its tho pact were ratlfted, and
they expressed tho hopo that German
prisoners of war would be released at
tho snmo time. As it ti earnest of their
good Intentions the Germans censed nil
wnrfure on tho Poles simultaneously
for somo time nnd not without a pro
sallies, Released fiom danger In that
direction, tho Poles turned nil their
attention to the Gnllclan-Volhynlnn
front, starting a counter-orfenslvo In
which they claimed to havo broken
tho Ukrainian resistance nnd regained
control of Important towns aud rail
ways. Thero Is no assurance, how
over, that Germany will not again
break out on the east front, for accord
ing to correspondents she has. since
tho armistice, reorganized an army of
about 1,000,000 men and gathered
equipment for three times that num
ber, Including as many nlrphuies ns
she had when she surrendered. Of
course all this Is contrary to tho
tonus Germany accepted, nnd If tha
stories are truo the allies will havo
to get busy .again. Tho Germans can
be trusted In one respect, and ono
only. They will eviulo tho treaty If
It Is possible for them to do so.
The French foreign oillco guvo out
tho texts of tho proposed agreements
of Franco with tho United States and
Great Britain designed to protect
France against unprovoked aggression
by Germany. Tho pacts differ In that
Grent Britain "consents to como" to
tho rescuo of France, while the United
Stntes "will bo bound to come imme
diately." Various plans are being devised by
tho Germans to save tho former kaiser
from trial and punishment, including
the formation of a national league
for the "protection of his freedom nnd
life." Von Bethmnnn-IIollweg, for
mer Imperial chnncellor, formally
asked the allied and associated pow
ers to plnce him on trlnl Instead ol
the former emperor, assuming respon
sibility for all tho nets for which
William Is blamed. Tho German gen
eral stuff, which resigned, agreed to
withdraw Its resignations if the gov
ernment would promise not to give up
tho ex-knlser for arraignment boforo
a court. William is in no danger of
his life from the allies, but that thoy
still purpose to try him for his crimes
Is evidenced by their warning to Hol
land not to permit him to escape from
Dutch territory, und by Lloyd George's
announcement In tho house of com
mons thnt William will soon be placed
on trial In London.
All matters concerning the peace
treaties ure now In the hands of the
now council of five, comprising Lan
sing, Plchon, Balfour, Tittonl nnd
Mnklno. Tittonl let It be known that
Italy wished all territory taken from
Austria to be definitely disposed of
In the Austrian treaty, which meant
that thnt pact could not be formulated
for slme tlmo and not without a pro
tracted debnte over the Flume ques
tion especially.
The Chlneso delegates said they ex
pected to sign tho trenty with Aus
trin, In which they found nothing ob
Jectlonable, nnd thereby gain admis
sion to the League of Nations despite
the withholding of their slgnntures
from tho German treaty. China prob
ably will make a separate pence with
Germuny. In refusing to sign the
Germnn trenty the Chinese delegates
disobeyed their Instructions from
Peking, being influenced by the south
China revolutionaries.
Tho Turkish delegation to Paris
wns sent back home In n hurry be
cnuso Its Ideas concerning the main
tenance of the Ottoman empire were
quite contrary to the plnns of the al
lies. Thoso plans, however, aro still
Inchoate. Greece, which wanted pos
session of Constantinople and renllzes
that she cannot havo It, is urging that
the United States accept the mandato
for that city as well as. for Armenia,
but thero Is more thnn a chnnco thnt
tho Amerlcnns would not ngreo to
this. Meunwhlle tho Greek forces in
Asln Minor nro fighting three Turkish
urmles over which tho government of
Turkey suys it has no control.
It wns predicted in Wushlngton thnt
with the return of President Wilson
there would bo n radical cliango In
tho government's policy townrd Mex
ico. Senator King of Utah, Democrat,
said tho administration would prac
tically Issue nn ultimatum to Currstn
za, demanding guarantees for the pro
tection of Amerlcun lives nnd prop
erty In Mexico and hinting at Inter
vention by tho United States. Tho
public has Just learned the fncts con
cerning the brutnl murder of John W.
Correll, an Amerlcun citizen, nenr
Tuitudco on June 10, nnd the assault
on Ills wife. Thero Is every reason to
believe that Cnrranzn soldiers were
tho perpetrators of those shocking
crimes.
Having lived to see the triumph of
tho cnuso for which she labored for
many years, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
honorary president of the National
American Woman's Suffrage associa
tion, passed away at her homo In
Moyliin, Pa., nt the nge of seventy-one
years. During the wur Doctor Shaw
did excellent work ns chairman of the
women's committee on the council of
national defense, nnd for this she had
Just been awarded tho distinguished
service medal.
Tho first "bnlloon" to cross the At
lantic, the British dirigible l-'M, com
manded by Major Scott, which wus to
liuve arrived ut Roosevelt Held, Mln
eoln, N, Y., late In the afternoon of
July 5, came to grief In tho Bay of
Fundy, between Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. A United States destroy
er was dispatched to her uld from the
Otter Cliff stntlon ut Bar Harbor, Me.
Tho airship evidently was following
the coast Uno in a southwesterly direc
tion toward New York. The dirigible
started from East Fortune, Scotland,
at 1 :48 on the morning of July 2, and
dosplte the accident, tho achievement
Is considered In uvlntlon circles us u
success. Tho new motor thnt wns In
stalled worked splendidly until near
tho end of tho voyage, aud the crew
of 211 men, Including one American,
had nothing but pralso for the conduct
of tho big airship beforo that.
Scores of army and navy oillcers
were at Mlneola to welcome the Brit
ish flyers, nnd general sympathy was
expressed. During tho voyage the di
rigible had been In almost constant
touch, by wireless with ships, and,
nearlng tho end. with shoro stations.

LOiOl SCENE OF

THE COMING FALL
COUNT WILLIAM TO FACE
TRIAL ON BRITISH SOIL.
Lloyd-George Explodes Bomb Wherv
He Announced News to the House
of Commons Holland Yet to be
Reckoned With May Refuse to De
liver Him.
Washington. Count William Hoh.
onzollern, former emperor of Germany,
will face tho international trial court
in London, presumably somo tlmo dur
ing tho coming autumn, for a crims
against humanity and tho sanctity ot
treaties and international law.
The decision to take tho former em.
poror and other accused persons ta.
London has been a well-kept secret,
nnd it is understood that Premier
Lloyd-George, who made the first an
nouncemont of the determination in a.
speech before the House of Commons,'
was responsible for tho decision.
While on British soil awaiting trial,
the head of the Hohenzollern's will boi
imprisoned in tho Towor of London.'
The allies, however, have yet to
reckon with Holland. It appears that
Dutch public opinion seems strongly
to support the ex-Kaiser's right of
asylum on their soli and thero are pre
dictions that Holland may refuse to
eive him up, and the belief prevails
that the powers will not coerce her.
Steps for his extradition may bo taken,
soon, if in fact they havo not already
begun. Dutch newspapers have discussed
Count Hohenzollern's extradition over
slnco he took refuge on their soil
and the general sentiment is that it
would be a humiliation for Holland to
bo compelled to surrender him at the.
demand of tho allies when such a de
mand would bo untenable under the
law.
In England great trials of state, of.
which thero has been none for many
years, hvo always been held in West
minster Hall, but it is said that the
count will be denied that honor, and
that the procedure will be laid down
by a commission to be named by a
committee which the allies will ap
point to execute the provisions of the;
troaty.
Premier Lloyd George's announce
ment regarding the trial came as a.
surprise to America and even to tho
American members of tho peace delov
gation in London and to the world
in general.
