BOOZE FOR CHRISTMAS
If President Lifts Wartime
Ban With Proclamation
of Peace Millions of
Gallons Whisky Held in

(By the United Press)
Washington, Oct. 20. There is a
slight chance that the President will
raipe the wartime dry ban before
constitutional prohibition becomes
effective in January, it is learned
from responsible source.
(j.pon ratification of the German
freaty the President may proclaim
peace, even though the United
Stales is still at war technically
witjh Austria.
"the declaration .4t peace would
make possible the lifting of the ban
and America would have a wet
Christmas. Should the ban be lift
ed millions of gallons of whisky and
other rpirite now held in bonded
warehouses probably would ' go on
thej market " at cost prices. This
would be the last opportunity to dis
pose of it.

handled it in 8 memorable fashion.
It is not swearing, not drunkenness,

other in the black category of speci

stant, continual ,-and final rejection
of Jos-is us Savior and the plan of

is the "last call;" and a "no" Will
