j l-IQUOR CASE BEFORE
U. S. SUPREME COURT
I Washington, Nov. 21- The supreme
I court ot the United States heard the
| plea of the cause of liquor.
I Arguments bearing on the constitu-
tionality of the war time prohibition
act was made by Assistant Attorney
General Frierson and Levy Mayer re-
presenting the distillers. Attorney
General Frierson declared thnt the
fact that congress hud passed the war
time prohibition bill after the signing
of the armistice indicated that it did
not believe the necessity for such leg-
islation had passed.
Mayer argued that the war time pro-
hibition law had been a virtual con
fiscaiiou oi property and that the con-
tention that peace must be declared
before it could l)e declared void was
not sound because the treaties often
followed years after hostilities hud
ceased

No effort was made to blow tli«
money safe In the Martha bank when*
the funds of the institution wera
found safely intact Thursday morninje
when Cashier Doudy opened the bank.
The bunk safe is one of modern de-
sign and while the burglars were pre-
pared with the punch and hammer*
to attempt to get into it they evident-
ly gave up the idea and satisfied
themselves with the Liberty bonda
taken from the vault.

Paris, Nov. 21.—While the supreme
council did not positively decide to-
day to put the peace treaty with Ger-
many into effect December 1st, its-
members a'l agreed it would be de-
sirable to do so. An effort will be
made to have all preparations for en-
forcement of the treaty completed by
that date and it probably will be pot
into effect very early in December,
regardless of the failure of tha United
States to ratify the treaty.
The American delegation declare
themselves still hopeful that a com-
promise will be arranged in the sen-
ate, but the French and British dela-
gates are apparently less optimistic
and inclined to prepare to carry onl
the treaty without American co-opor-
atlon. Suggestions that another trea-
ty more to the liking of the European
allies be negotiated, apparently are
not seriously taken-
The French, British and Italian del-
egates to the peace conference seem-
ed to be dazed by the senates' refusal
to approve the treaty and unable to
comprehend how the signature of the
American peace delegation fai'ed to
bind the American government.
The American delegates are with-
out instructions as regards their fu-
ture course. Mr. White will continue
to sit in the supreme council meet-
ings and the delegation will function
as usual until otherwise instructed.
