They profess to believe there la a re

and say that the recent JJuugheity
ruling relative to ll'iuor on ships,
with all of Ita varloua coippllcatlnns,

Th "weta" profesa to bellav th

A fight will be staged In congress to
amend th enforcement act In tha
hop that th first step will have
hten taken In th direction of light
wines and beer. All of thla Is pre
paratory for th bigger fight which
will be mad to eliminate or hamper
th prohibition amendment.
Th "wela" ar not optimistic

I to elect members and senator who
ur avowedly In favor of th "et"

lot'ul constituencies are "dry" and
who will thus lis compelled to creep
In under the tun!. In the case of
friends of the "wet" causo already In

soft pedal the prohibition oiiestlon.

The defeat of Volstead mid the eleo

no added voting strength to the

Action of the cabinet recently In ap

Th American not dealt particu

Present Templing Fat.
Those of the administration who be
lieve that American troops ur in:

It Is Idle to continue using the argu-
I mi nt that th I'nlted Htatcs should
be represented In the army of orcupn
lion for psychological reasons, Inslet
that their continued presence In
I ; ii rope Is tempting fate. They l
lleve that the sooner the 1,200 n-
fiialiilng American regulars arc
biought home, tho less danger there
will In of involving this government
In European political squabbles.
For some time Hecretary Weeks and
other administration advisers have
been urging tho return of the troops
on the ithln. flen, I'ershlng Is de.
clar'-d alwi to be In favor of this
course. Whether the president and
Hccrctary Hughe regard presenco of
tho trops In Kuropo as endangering
American international policy Is not
disclosed but It Is said that they in
convinced that It Is serving no useful
purpose,
Have Served Purpose.
"I do not hesitate to ay," said rln -retnry
Wecits, "thut I have been In
favor of bringing the American troops
home from Europe. They have served
their purpose there. Furthermore wv
ciin use them to good advantage here,
with our own forcos so reduced."

In their conference with th president,
also discussed the future) army, which
l treatened with further slushing by

to have mado a most vigorous protest'
against any further reduction of the
army. To go below the 125,000 en

That auch arecommendafion Is In con

In a letter accompanying estimate
for the army next year, Secretary

number of enlisted men should be
180.000 with 1.7,000 officer, but 11m
estimates anbnilttod are for only 123,
000 men and 12,000 officer, us at
present,
"We do not Increase the estimates."
said Secretary Weeks, "because of tli

must not be permitted to go below Its
