One-Half Per Cent Limit. Agents of De partment to Enforce War-Tiroe Act According to Interpretation. A wpiK-iul from Wuhlngton says: OngroM and the department of JuK-.tico moved today to- stop the t,-..le of two and threo-qinrters per .!t Vor under the war-time pro hibition act. prohibit Ion loaders of tho Houso, aU-r a series or conferences, ob tained a call Tor a meeting Mondap t i-ned a call for a meeting which 1 vi-t.d to agree promptly on an independent bill , far onr pwmpn . of thn war-time law. defining in toxicating liquor as containing more than one-half or one per cent nco hol ard to recommend passage of ik4i a bill by the House at the cvliest pnMible moment. At the time the rtrparmont of justice made it Plain Its agents would en-fT-. the act aecoordlng to its in terrelation that anything contain-I,.-' more than one-half of one per cent alcohol cannot be legally man ufactured or sold. Tk-ols-'ons of Federal Judge Rose, it Baltimore, in favor of the i"brwe,rs and two and t.hroe-qua.r-ters per cent beer, and of Federal Judge Sa.wte.lle at San Francisco, against the brewers and such beer, threw the entire legal status of low : leoholic beer into uncertainty. Either the Baltimore , the San F-ianoisco or one of the many oth er oa expected to arise soon will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. However, action by Congress within a few weeks at the most is expected to render a decision by the Supreme Court unnecessary, so far as- stop ping the manufacture is concerned. Attorney General rainier mide it clear today that, while hi depart ment would proceed in an orderly manner without wfboletile arm if w Bpfiotnular naW. orfe-Jle against tin prohibition law couW rxpral nothing less than "early and -vigorous" prosecution.

Ve pofition of the "dry" in Conifer is that they will stop the ale of two and three-quarters per cent beer within two weeks by rushing through next week a bill donning intoxicating liquor as a ' beverage or product containing one haJf or one per cent alcohol. BEER SALOONS AND BREW ERIES REMAIN IN OPERATION A special from Washington says: As war-time prohibition took effect the department of justice announc ed that its agents throughout the country would not attempt to stop the sale of -two and 'three-quarters per cent. beer. This eleventh-hour development, a flat reversal of an earlier ruling rtennrtment. was due to the uncertainty as to how the federal,' district court of New lorn migm rule on a pending claim by brewers that beer containing that much al co&ol was not intoxicat'ng. But while thi3 uncertainty exist ed as to beer of lighter alcoholic per centage than that sold general ly heretofore, full warning was giv en that with respect to whisky and all beverages as to whose In toxioating powers there was no doubt, every governmental ageucy j would be set to work in a deter mined effort to prevent their man ufacture and sale. How long', the sale of two and llireo-quarters per cent beer might continue would depend ordinarily upon the s.peed of the -courts, but Congress meanwhile will step to the front in an effort to complete the effectiveness of the war-time law. Exactly what they have refused heretofore to do, prohibition mem bers of the House now wiil attempt passage of a straight, clearcut bill f'T enforcement of war-time prohibition.

O bugle., ripple and shine, Calling the heroes home from the battle line, Praise, praise, praise, , For the last of the desterate days! Sliake out the lyrical notes From the silvery deep of your throats. Burst into Joy -mad carols; tell: again , The story and glory of heroic men. Glad are tho love-birds In tha leafy tree, But none so glad as we. High leap the rock-flung billow to the sky, , But none leaps up so gladly and and wildly high As leap our Jubilant hearts. . v . The Fear that croucht upon the , world departs, And Joy comes back pavillioned by the sun: Let all the mountains clap their , hands and run: Let all the oceans from their throats of thunder Shout to the streams and storms and stars the wonder! II 0 bugles, circle on from sky to 1 ' eky, Travel the roads of the world with Joyous cry. Blow, bugles, turn dead air to thrilling breath; Cay, cry eternal victory over , death Cry into the ear of time the shin ing word Cry solemly yet elate That man is ever greater than his fate, That at some touch of God his aoul is stirred By swift tran slunar gleams By which give him power to perish for his dreams dreams. Praise, praise, praise, For the new beginning of dtyg! Praise for the living, honor for the dead , Praise for the wreathed and tha wreathless head. , Praise and victorious peace Oh hearts that beat and on the hearts that cease Peace on the mortal- and the im mortal way Peace on the heroes vanisht from , our day, Called back from out these bonds of fleeting breath To join the old democracp of death.

Even the patient atones Are weary of shrieking shells and dying groans. Lay the sad swords asleep; They have their fearful memories And fold the flags; they weary of battle days, , Weary of wild flights up the windy ways. Quiet the restless flags, Grown strangely old upon the smok ing crags.
