By EOWAf.D W. PICKARD. The United States has launched the

great experiment. Just after the treaty was signed that romlnally brought the war' to an end; our war-

emergency prohibition act went effect and the entire country be-

will be n “wet epell” at least In some states uutfl the constitutional amend-

faaloz concerning the scope and the

anforcei.c-ut of the emergency tow.

federal court has ruled In favor of beer and wine containing not to ex-

reed 2*, per cent of alcohol many localities the dealers are taj a chance and dispensing those drlni

to most states the old and new laws on prohibition prevent even this. In any case the manufacture and sale of

drinks with the 'greetef alcoholic

oontent are barred and Attorney Genera! Palmer lias ordered rigid enf-wce-

game but toeing fight and the “drya" have refused to yield at any point The forces of the latter In cuagrcas are planning to pu** measures to prevent the co' .try from going on a Whisky-drink..ig basis between the time of demobUlzatlon and Junuarj 16. and to put a ston to the sale -of weak beer and light wines at once, regard-

lea* of court ruling*.

Though the United Steles It now the only ''dry” country, there may be an inner before very long, for the United Kingdom alliance, encouraged by thr <aoo**a of the American prohibitionists, has opened a campaign to put Great Britain on the same basis. American method* will be followed and Anutri can speakers imported. London correapondrnts predict that to deprive the Britisher of his ale. porter and beet -ould almost precipitate a revolution. British labor Is against prohibition, hut so to American labor; and It may be that John Bull will In the not di* UBt future 1m- reduced to drinking "lemon equuehca" and "minerals." The world will watch the American experiment, one of tlie greatest ever made la economics, with Intense Interest. HI* great task abroad completed so far ax might be. President Wilson hm returned to his domestic duties. On the homeward trip he signed hills and read document* and otherwise pre pared him self for the contest that con front* him to the United State- Thr goal hr ha* set for hlrnxelf Is the rati flearion by the senate of the peace treaty, tneludlng the covenant of the League of Nations. Victory will not come easily, though it prohablv will come, maybe after the covenant ha* been amended te meet the objection* idr by a considerable number of smxtorx Those who are against the league In any form are very few. but etubooro.

If the Issue to pul up to the people

In cate the United -States, becomes a member of the League' of NaUont, It will be called on soon to begin assuming International cutlet and responsibilities. Dispatches from Parts say President Wilson will propose to congress the acceptance of a mandate for Constantinople nnd for Armenia. Senator Borah, rampant oppoo.-nt of the league, broke out In s new place tost week, with charges that the p.opa ganda of the league to enforce peace, beaded hy ex-Presideu TafL financed by Wall atreeL Mr. Taft's organization glories In the fact that must 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 iinall men to not a Itortration of vision; It may possibly be that their investments are not the same and their, interest* are not the

tame.

“Ir may be that they are confining themselves to the Interest* of thetr own country and believe to the traditions and policies ol their country, and may poaaibly be that those who take a wider view of the matter are those who have large Investment* to other conn tries, and who propose to have more Investment* there, which In-ve-.tmenu aUl be worth very little unleas they are underwritten by the United State* government." It Is not easy to see why American buatoros men should be criticised because they Vish to see peace permanently established In Europe ao that they can row me trade, commerce aqd Industry with the European*.. An Instance of what they are getting ready to do is supplied by the news that tjirte great American construction concern* have b-en awarded a contract for the rebuilding of the Nancy district of France at sn estimated figure of S230.UU0.UUU, which sum may be dou-

The German* had been iioliOrd that tbe blockade would be Itl.ed a* _oou as the pact were ratified, and •bey expressed the hope that German prisoner; of war would be relearn-] at the snme time. As an earnest, of their good Intentions the Germans ceased all warfare on the 1'olea simultaneously for some time and not without a prosallies. Released flora danger In that direction, the 1‘oles turned all their attention to the Gaflcian-YolUyulan front, starting a counter-offensive In which they claimed to have broken the Ukrainian resistance and regained coolrol of important tuwos and railways. There Is no assurance, however. that Ovi many will not again break out ou the east front, for according to correspondents she tin*, stove the armistice, reorganised an army of “boat LUUU.UtS) men and gathered equipment (or three Ime* that number. Including as many airplanes os she had when she surrender?d. Of course all this U contrary to the terms Germany accepted, and If the storiee are true the allies will hawget busy again. The Germans can trusted in one respect, and one only. They will .-vad* the treaty If It is possible for them to do so. The French foreign office gave out he texts »f the proposed agreements •t KraU'-e with tbe United Kutea and Great Britain designed to protect France sgulnsl unprovoked uggreohioti by Germany. The pacta differ la that Great Britain "consents to '-ome" to the rescue ol France, while tbe United Ktstea “will be bound to come Imme-
