structure with a shingled upper story
and roof, showed plainly, according to
Pattalion Chief 5 H. Dodds of the tire
department, that the flames had at
tacked it from without. Dodds also
'said in his opinion some highly in
flammable substance had beeu thrown
violently over the outer walls by the

Condemns Support of
Admiral Kolchak By
the Entente. I
LUCERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 4
Before the winter set-, in there will
be "a terrible spasm of rage and de
spair among tho peoples of Europe
in which the final rem; Ins of civiliza
tion may be totally annihilated," it was
predicted by Arthur Henderson, the
British labor leader, at the opening
session of the international Socialist
conference here yesterday.
The remarns of Mr. Henderson who
was the principal labor leader present,
followed those of Otto Wells ot the
majority element of the German So
cialists, who declared ufrnian work
ing nun expected Iron, the Socialists
the creation of a real .eague of na
tions. He characterized the league or
ganized in Paris without Germany and
Russia as members, as "a mere pleas
antry.' In alluding to the peace treaty Mr.
Henderson declared the principal
points of It ought to be subjected to
immediate and thorough devision.
Condemnation of support of Admiral
Kolchak, head of the all-Russian gov
ernment at Omsk by tno entente na
tions was expressed by James Itain
a, McDonald, of the British delega
tion, and Marcel Cacl ln, the French
Socialist. Both the speakers de
manded that an energetic mtitude be
adopted by tho work'. Socialists to
vsard the na-tions principally on this
ground.
Elmer Vanderveld, the Belgian So
cialist, gave liis opiuior that it would
be impossible to reconstitute the in
ternational Socialist organization un
tU the question of war responsibilities
was Bettled. He further declared that
I in his view it would be Impossible to
merge the second ana third interna
tional Socialist organizations fur the
reason that while the 'ecoud aimed at
a revolution by the majority element
among ihe peoples iii conformity with
democratic principles, ih' third was
for immediate revolution by the ma

on War Prohibition.
CONGRESS HAS POWER
Enforcement Act Declared
Constitutional By Prece
dents of Court.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4. Wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League of America, took issue today
with the opinion of Elihu Root, Wil
liam D. Guthrie and William L Mar
bury, counsel for the United States
Brewers' association that the war pro
hibition enforcement act is unconsti
tutional Mr. Wheeler also denied
that the league forces intended to
start an anti-tobacco campaign
"The authority of congress to enact
the war prohibition law," Mr. Wheeler
said, "rests on the provisions in th
constitution which gives congress
rower to support the army and navy
This power and obligation extends
through demobilization The courts
have so held Congress evidently In
tended to prohibit all beer and wine
In the original act, Some of the
courts hold the act does this. Others
hold differently. Congress is .slmplv
'frying to make clear the Intention of
'the original act.
It is now well-settled by the
preme'eourt that if copgres has power
j to enact a law it also has the power
to enact additional legislation to
make the original act effective and en
forceable. To define the term inioxi
cating liquor Is necessary to make the
act enforceable, especially whero
courts have defeated its purpose by
their own construction."
Referring to charges of the associa
itlon opposed to national prohibition
I that the Anti-Saloon league was ac
tively aiding in a campaign of the
W. C. T (J. against tobacco, Mr.
Wheel. t said:
'"Th ant i tobacco scarecrow of the
anti prohibition forces does not fool
anyone The Anti-Saloon league forces
have no intention to start this cru
'sade. The liquor traffic Is a public
nuisance. The tobacco habit may be
In private or personal bad habit, but it

j Method in War. 1 1
' WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. Mainten-
lance of one field army with a war i
strength of 1,250,000 men is proposed I
In bill establishing permanent mili
tary policy which was sent to congress
today by Secretary Baker.
The active force of this army would
bt 510,000 regulars while the remain
der would be young men who had tak
en a three months' military course
which would be compulsory for all 19
year old youths. This reserve strength
would be used to fill out the twenty
infantry divisions and one cavalry di
vision into which it is proposed to di
vide the regular army.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. Plans for
a permanent peace army of 510,000
officers and men and a system of uni-
c rsal military training were transmit
ted to congress today by Secretary
I Baker.
The plans were embodied In a bill
which represents tire policy of the
war department with respect to the
peaco time military establishment.
lTnder the measure all special ser
I vices built up during the war would H
be maintained as separate branches
except the chemical warfare service,
I which would be merged with the ensi- j
i neers' corps. 1
Three months military training for
souths of 19 would be made compul
sory and promotion of officers by sen
iority would be abolished. Secretarv
I Baker said the war had shown t h i
system of promotion to be defective.
No changes in the existing law with
regard to the organization of the na
tional guard and its l elation to the
I regular army was suggested. Mr I
r k-r said i' was assumed that the
national defense act federalizing the
guard would b- retained in force.
Under the army's plan, youths would
be subject to military service for two
vears after completing the course of
military training and in the event of
wnr the selective service act in force
during ihe great wax would becomw
operative.
Secretarv Baker said ir a letter ac
companying the bill that the plan had
not yet been referred 10 General Per
shing, but that it could he used as th"
basis for hearings which the se-ns.t
military committee i--, to have before
draftiu legislation, establishing n per
manent military policy
j "The bill as drafted,' said Secretary
Baker, "provides for a system of uni
versal training for a very brief period
applicable to all male citizens with
suitable provision for exemptions and
deferments.
"It does not, however, provide for
any reserve obligation since U is un
necessary' with a system of universal
service In time of emergency."
