Washington, Oct. 7.—Masters of shipping: board vessels were or- dered today by Chairman Lasker, by dircction of the President and in accordance with Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty’s liquor. opinion to remoye and surrender to treasury. department officials all intoxicating, liquors on such ships. y The order which applies to gov- ernment ships operated by the bgard, and under charter to pri- vate coneerns, became effective immediately with respect to ves- sels in-American ports and will , be made effective on those at sea: and in foreign ports upon their arrival at American ports, Washington, Oct. 7.—The. exe- cutive branch of the government was proceeding to the immediate enforcement today of the interpre- tation of the prohibition .amend- ment and the enforcement act by) the legal branch as prohibiting the transportation or sale of liquor on American vessels, wherever oper- ated and presence of liquor on for- eign ships any where within Amer- ican territorial waters. Acting on orders issued by Pres- ident Harding immediately after publication yesterday of the opin- ion handed down by the depart-; ment of justice, Chairman Lasker of the shipping board was moving to stop at once the sale or trans- portation .of liquor on, government ships, while Secretary Mellon was proceeding to give’ due notice to private owners of the prohibition; as to both to take effect~at once, 3 Soon as vessels reach home ‘ports. The treasury secretary was also charged with the formulation! of regulations for the enforcement as to foreign ships, to begin as Soon as such regulations can be promulgated, The next development awaited in the situation, as foreseen by At- torney General Daugherty’ and Chairman Lasker, was a move by foreign lines to secure a final de- termination in the courts of’ the application of American dry laws to foreign ships entering Ameri. ¢an territorial waters. With the government already advised that a case is about to be} filed which would bring the issue| 1 { court, Chairman Lasker was of the opinion that the foreign lines would first seek to restrain enforcement of the law by an injunction, which he said it was reasonable to sup- pose the courts would grant. Mr. Lasker foresaw not only a stay of enforcement as to foreign ressed the opinion that regard- less of the decision of the supreme court American ships would be placed at a permanent disadvan-/} man ‘further expressed the opinion that the enforcement would un- doubtedly hamper the board’s: ef, forts to build up American ship- ping to the Orient and South America. The — disadvantages which he believed would result to the American merchant marine would make more necessary, he said, enactment of the ship subsidy bill if the American flag was to stay on the high seas.

DUNBAR CASE as to foreign ships to the supreme} ships by this course but’ also ex-' The shipping board chair- | - IS APPEALED Appeal to thé supreme court has been taken by Harry B. Dunbar, for- mer state license inspector, from the 30-day jail sentence for contempt given by Judge Nueale at Jamestown last April.

CK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 : (Leased Wire of Associated Press) CAR LACK TO CAUSE GRADUAL MARKETING Will be Spread Out Over a' Considerable Period, State Officials Say ELEVATORS 350 in State Reported Jammed With Wheat and No Cars Wednesday Enforced gradual marketing of the huge North Dakota grain crop will result from ear shortages, in the opinion of officials of the state rail- yoad and warehouse commission. Late reports to the commission empha- size the marked insufficiency of cars to supply elevator and coal mines. There were 350 elevators in the state filled to capucity and unable to receive ‘more grain on Thursday because of lack: of cars to ship grain in, according to C. W, McDon- nell, member of the commission, who said the reports, which were from railroad superintendeng;, did not in- clude the Soo main line and one other| branch railroad line. One railroad branch reported 81 out of 87 ele- vatorson its line were blocked by car shortage. J The car shortage also ig affecting lignite coal mines, according to re- ports to the commission. The Wash- burn Lignite'Coal Company at Wil- ton is nof operating at full capacity because of car lack and mines in the vicinity of Noonan are operating at only*a small per cent of their ca- pacity for the same reason, Mr. Mc- Donnell said. Severs days ago mines at Columbus also were’ unable to ship. much coal, railroad officials stating that cars were being diverted to emergency shipments of potatoes in the northwestern part of the state. Although reports indicate the raii- roads are making every effort to ob- tain cars and are seeking the return of many of their cars which are on other lines not. so well equipped,| railroad commigsion officials expect the car demand will exceed the sup- ply for a considerable period. Estimates for the state as a whole, ‘based on reports received-by-the:com- mission, are ‘that not over half of the North Dakota grain crop has been threshed. A local man, return- ing from McKenzie county, stated that not over 25 per cent of the crop in the vicinity of Watford City had been threshed, and yet elevators are filled to capacity. The wheat crop, heaid, is averaging 20 to 36 bushels | aa¢, an acre. Farmers are storing grain in granaries on their own farms and when they are exhausted will store wheat on the ground. Threshing will continue until stopped by the weather, reports sad, and the mar- keting of the crops not expected to be completed before spring.

(By the Associated Press) Paris, Oct. 7.—A general agree- hment now -will be submitted to the ‘rench and British cabinets, which are in session and will be referred to Rome by the Itali-n representative here. There is considered to be a lit- tle doubt, however, that all will ac- cept and that the delays will be worked out this afternoon so that the Allied generals at Mundania can resume their conference in full agreement with each other as to the terms to be offered the Turks, The‘ solution agreed upon provides three steps for the return of Thrace to’the’ Turks as follows: First, the Greek army and those of.'the population desiring to leave must evacuate immediately. Second, a Turkisn civil adminis- tration will -be installed at the same time the Allied troops taken the place: of the Greek rorca; to preserve order. Third, the Turkish army will be allowed to. cross.the straits of the Dardanelles and enter Thrace only upon ‘conclusion of a peace treaty and i¢ will not be until that time that Eastern Thrace is completely restored to Turkey.

London, Oct. 7,—A sensation” has been caused by a letter, from Andrew Bonar Law, upholding the British government's attitude in the Near Eastern crisis, which is given ‘con- spicuous publicity in’ all the London newspapers today. The pronoyncement is widely ‘held to be equivalent to a direct threat to withdraw the British troops from the Rhine and completely terminate the entente unless France comes in- to line with the British policy in the Near East, Bonar Law’s position as potential head of a potential conservative gov- ernment in, the near-future and his intimate relations‘ with several of the present cabinet ministers are regarded as giving his view special weight, The general opinion of the news- papers is that the letter is timely and commendable. CONCENTRATE TROOPS. London, Oct. 7.—Ten thousand Greek troops have neen concentrated in the Tchatalja district, Eastern Trace, which is under control of French caaviry, says a Central News despatch from Constantinople.
