See Inevitable: Special Dispateh to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 2—While only between 200 and 250 of the more than 800 licensed saloons of Baltimore were open yesterday for the sale of beer and light wines, and the majority of them in the downtown section, the fact that but twenty-three sgloonkeepers have so far returned their licenses and asked for the ten months’ refund is taken as proof that the great majority have not abandoned all hope for the saloon business. Up to the time of the decision of Judge Rose of the United States dis- trict court, sustaining the demurrer of the Standard Brewing Company of Bats timore, upon the outcome of which case the federal authorities will rest until the United States Supreme Court has passed on this important subject, not one saloonkeeper had filed an ap- plication for an internal revenue license for the current year, but as soon as the news became known twelve retail dealers filed applications before the close of the office. Bush This Morning. This morning as soon as the dow of the internal revenue office were opened there was a rush to secure the federal license by nearly one-half of the city licensed saloonkeepers to con- tinue their business in the sale of beer a pt wines. mt Menthe Intention of the majority of the saloonkeepers here to continue in business until the enforcement of the constitutional prohibition amend- ment, unless the decision of Judge Rose if not sustained by the Suprem: Court of the United States. Comparatively few saloons in the residential section opened for busi- ness and those that are doing business do not open until 10 and 11 o'clock. As one of the bartenders put it, “The man who wants a drink early in the morning wants one with a ‘kick’ in it; he doesn’t want one with a low alco- holic content.” Only Beer at Hotel Bars. Nothing but beer is being sold at the bafs of the prominent hotels to- day and soft drinks are being sampled. Despite the optimism displayed in the majority of saloons the general impression is that Mr. Barleycorn has passed more or less peacefully away. | but he may be resurrected in about thirty or sixty days for a period of a few months “But even that would only give us four months before prohibition be- comes titutional amendment, said nt hotel man this morn- “and this short respite not help matters in the feast. “In sixty days the bars that are to continue will havesgotten down to a soft drink is; there would be lit- tle use to revive the old regime; bar- tenders will have found other posi tions which they will not want to leave and alcoho! will have become so scarce and expensive that few will © to buy drinks that contain it. "It seems to me.” he continued, that every thoughtful man will agree that it is much better that ‘Friend John’ be allowed to remain dead. than he be miraculously revived for 2 month or two of post-mortem jollification. Country Wanted Prohibition. “The country wanted prohibition. It got what it wanted. A large num- ber of prominent and influential peo- ple talked loudly against the hand- ful of fanatics who put the dry law over on the nation, but they did noth- ing to prevent it. When we held anti- prohibition meetings, who went to them? Not \the people of influence who believed in alcoholic beverages in moderation. The largest part of the audiences were made up of types that made prohibition seem altogeth- r desirable. Important antis talked and talked and talked; but the pro- hibitionists backed their talk with action.” MR. HOOVER RESIGNS POST. Drops Chairmanship of Food Ad- ministration Grain Corporation. SW YORK, July 2.—Resignation of Herbert Hoover as chairman of the board of directors of the food admin- istration grain corporation and re- organization of the corporation under the name “United States Grain Cor- poration,” was announced at the an- nual meeting of stockholders here yesterday.

Essential, \ Is Question. ; President Wilson and the Senate are going to bump on another phase of the peace treaty, according to all signs, portents and omens. the administration backers are lining up to sustain the President in the Senate and in the executve branch. This other head-on collision is over the question, practically, of “When is peace?” The answer to the question depends altogether upon the motive of the asking. in the ‘administration's analy- sis. If the propounder is an exporter, intent upon sending goods to Ger- many as soon as the embargo is lift- ed. he is advised that peace is peace only after the Senate has ratified the treaty. At least that is Attorney Gen- eral Palmer's view pf it, although State Department officials’ were ported last Monday as saying that business with Germany will com- mence as soon as the German legisla- tive body ratifies the treaty. It is a: sumed on Capitol Hill that the State {Department officials who were r ported as taking that view will promptly about-face and coincide with the Attorney General, leaving the Sen- e to fight it out. See Plan to Hurry Senate. The administration's stand, as it is from business interests on the Senate and speed up ratification of the treaty | and acceptance of the covenant of the league of nations without change. By many senators an entirely op- ij posite construction is placed upon the status of peace. They read the terms ‘of the-modified treaty of peace, an- jnounced in cabled dispatches aris last Monday, to the effect that | the embargo will be lifted when Ger- | many ratifies, and they concurred in jthe view reported to have been taken Monday by the State Department that trading by all the allies and “asso- ciated powers” (that’s us) would be- gin when Germany ratified. Anyhow, these senators say. it is incredible ‘to them that the President could leave American business in a disadvantageous position, knowing, as he does, the Constitution of his coun- try, which demands ratification of a treaty by the Senate, and, appreciating jas he must, the condition In the Senate promising thorough discussion of his league of nations with consequent de- lay. These senators declare that if American business is Shut out while the allies participate in reopened com- {merce, the business men should hold jthe President responsible. Moreover, they resent what they term an appar- ent attempt to coerce. them into ill- advised action upon the treaty. President Has Whip Hand. Of course. the administration is recognized 2s having the whip hand ‘an one sense; the customs officers, acting upon arbitrary orders from Washington, ,could refuse clearance papers to ships destined for German ports, and not a propeller could turn. The after effect of any such dicta- torial method might be very disas- trious, however, in case the courts } Should sustain the view held by such senators as Mr. Knox of Pennsyl- vania as to the termination of the war. J Senator Knox holds that the peace treaty itself determines when the war is ended and the end of the war nullifies the restrictions of the trad- ing with the enemy act, under the terms of which business with Ger- is now prescribed. Senator pointed out the ridiculous and anomalous spectacle which would be presented by England, France and Italy being at peace with Germany, their lands, of course, closed to opera tions of our troops against Germany, while the United States was still at war with Germany—on paper. Senator Knox contends that after the armistice had been established and Germany had acknowledged its defeat, as the vanquished nation Ger- many had the right to know when she would be able to obtain a state of peace. “It is undoubtedly in recog- nition of this right that the peace conference having Imposed all neces- sary conditions upon Germany, and obtained from Germany a solemn agreement to accept these conditions, declared that peace should then be es- tablished between Germany and all the nations when the ratifications as described were deposited,” he holds. Compromise Conferences Ahead. During the week's recess of Congress conferences between the administration supporters of the league of nations cove- nant and the proponents of reservations to the covenant will be held in efforts to teach a compromise, if possible, which would admit of reservations being adopted and the treaty speedily ratified.

While no as yet been announced, it seems prob- ble that if the George Washington rrives in New York Monda¥, as ex- pected, the treaties will be submitted and the message read by Wednesday ‘or Thursday Plans for Reception. NEW YORK, July 2.—Plans for the reception of President Wilson on his ar- rival here from overseas on the steam- ship George Washington, probably next Monday, were under discussion here to- day. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the President, who will be in New York until after his chief arrives, will have for the reception and entertainment of the presidential party. Committee to Meet Ship. The George Washington will be met idown the bay by a reception committee. The President is expected to leave his pared to take charge of the reception and, as is customary, will look after the details, but a special’ non-partisan com- mittee of citizens may be appointed as the official reception committee. If President Wilson decides to begin his speaking tour of the country with an address it is probable that a meeting !will be arranged for Monday afternoon jor Tuesday, dependent on the date of his arrival. CABINET TO MEET PRESIDENT Vice President Also to Be of Party a on Battleship. Vice President Marsha!l and all members of the ¢abinet are expected to greet President Wilson at New York when he arrives Monday on the George Washington. . Secretary Daniels has arranged for [the members of the President's official family to go aboard the battleship Pennsylvania, flagship of the Atlantic fleet, which is to meet the presiden- }tial ship outside New York harbor and escort her to port. /EX-KAISER INFORMED OF SIGNING OF THE TREATY AMERONGEN, June 28 (by the As- sociated Press).—News of the sign- ing of the treaty of peace at Ver- sailles was taken to ‘Amerongen castle tonight by the correspondent of the Associated Press, ~ The entourage of the former Ger. man emperor appeared to regard the event calmly, because they had been convinced that the ceremony was in- j evitable, the former emperor him self having recelved a dispatch ear- lier in the day saying that the Ger- }man delegates had arrived at Ver- sailles and would sign the treaty. | It.was impossible to: learn frém those in the castle and near the for- mer emperor how he had received the news.
