A possibility that the supreme court might pass final judgment on prohibition, questions before It by the middle of April was seen by some observers in the announcement on Monday that the court recess to be taken after arguments or these cases would extend to April 19 Instead of April i2. The opinion was expressed that a decision might be rendered immediately when the court reconvenes. Further argument on questions touching on validity of the constitutional amendment and the enforce-.meact was presented on March 29. They were in connection with the original suit brought by New Jersey as wall as appeals from that state and from Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Ken-- tucky and Massachusetts cases have already been argued and will be considered at the same time. Ellhu Root, representing Christian Feigenepan, a brewer of Newark, N. J. ; Attorney General Thomas F. of New Jersey, In opposition to the constitutional amendment, and . Assistant Attorney General William L. .Frierson for the government addressed : the court. ' Mr. Root characterized the prohibition amendment as new legislation, . made under color of an amendment, affecting personal rights. If Its validity was upheld, he said, the effect would be that the' court recognized in 'addition to the legislative powers of congresspnd the stajjgs a third legible tlye power,' enactment of s of the of states,' which, he said," would be a perversion not only of the word but the whole tone of the constitution." Attorney General McCran contend--e- d that the amendment was legislative in nature and revolutionary In character and was not adopted by of contwo-thirof of gress nor ratified by three-fourtthe states, owing to referendum provisions in various state constitutions. On the governments behalf Mr. Frierson reiterated arguments made in the Rhode Island case that the question of the amendments validity is The eighteenth not justifiable. amendment could have been- inserted in the original constitution- and for that reason, he said, he could not see the force of arguments that It cannot Its effect "be inserted by amendment he said v was merely to give congress authority to enforce prohibition. nt Me-Cr- . , three-fourth- ,f hs ' Three thousand five hundred field guns have been found by the interallied oommlsslon in the vicinity of Berlin alone and altogether 12,000 of these guns have thus far been discovered throughout' Germany, as well as 0000 airplanes Intact. According to the terms of the treaty of Versailles, the German army should now have only 204 three-inc- h guns and no airplanes whatsoever. These discoveries and other information have caused consideration skepticism among authorities here as to the reason gren for the request of the Berlin government that it be permitted to send troops into the neutral and occupied areas. The fact that the request came before the Germans had executed any material clause of the treaty, although the time limit has expired on some three score of its provisions, is declared In French official circles as laying the Germans open to suspicion of attempting to avoid the Versailles treaty provisions. Particular significance is attached by the Frenoh to the discovery of the guns, since the Germans, in a communication to the allied commission to which their excess of war material should have been delivered by March 10, said it made no difference whether this material be delivered or destroyed, and that they preferred to destroy it. Thu far, however, on March 27, no evidence had been obtained by the commission of any destruction of material by the (jennatie. .Xtns have bbeh f t was said, but It has been Impossible to verify them up to this time. Premier Mlllerand declared Saturday In the chamber of deputies. Germany has done little or nothing, the French declare, toward execution clauses- of the treaty of about thirty-si- x on which the limit has already expired. The only provision, so far as France is concerned, that has been duly executed Is that providing for the delivery of seeds for the spring planting In the devaated regions. It is admitted, however, that something has been done regarding some of the general provisions, such as reduction of the military schools.. Paris. three-inc- h d. Carranza Denies Aiding Bonillas.

Conditions in Germany are described by the- minister of defense as extremely serious. J ? You cannot paint the situation throughout Germany too , black, an official at the ministry declared. The situation in Berlin itself was In one case characterized as bad. a company of volunteers had, been overpowered by Sparjacan forces; its officers killed and their bodies m, tilated. The marine, brigade and the Baltic troops, which occupied Berlin during the Kapp regime, have been cleared out' from Charlottenburg and have joined the other military units at the Doeberltz camp, where all are refitting. These troops, it was stated, will be counted as the chief protecf, tors of Berlin. Neukolellen and the workingmens residence quarters in the suburgs, where disorders occurred Saturday, have been quieted by government troop activities. It is openly predicted that it needs but very little now to throw Germany into the hands of the bolshevists. Such is the opinion of every person who ha3 recently been in touch with the German situation. The elements of law and order are sufficiently weak now without having to undergo the strain of a division in their own ranks, between those who would preserve the existing regime and those who would prefer to restore the leaders and methods of 1914. In invoking the general strike, Ebert took a step' almost as desperate as that of Kerensky when he turned to Lenine to obtain the support necessary to meet the incoming Korniloff forces. Therefore, the men who were seeking to transfer Russia into a progressive Democracy, preserving Its patriotism, but abolishing its tyrants, There was lost control completely. nothing left to meet the next push, which came from the bolshevists. It is not a simple thing this new German problem. The defeat of the n and the restoration .f the Ebert government, desirable as it seems to the western world, may not prove a solution, but a mere prelude to the final collapse of Germany, a' descent to the final abyss of chaos totally reminiscent of what for three years has been Russia's plight. El Paso, Texas. It has been learned here that an entire Mexican farm was wiped out when Francisco Villa and his followers massacred more than fifty men, women and children and burned thelihomes and crops. Angered becajse a small party of his men had been- fired upon near the community on the previous day, Villa lyith 150 men swooped down on the place. The farmers stoutly defended tilelrhoinesand it was not until twenty-five or thirty of. them had been killed and their ammunition exhaustin ed that the survivors, twenty-fiv- e number, surrendered. These survivors, there is reason to believe, would have escaped with their jives had not one young man, crazed with grief over the loss of his wife and family, attacked Villa and attempted to wrest the rebel leaders gun from his hand. Villa being large and heavier than his adversary, subdued the men after a struggle and shot him dead. In his fury, Villa then ordered all the men of the community put to death and the houses, grain and other possessions of the community burned. According to one of three men who escaped death at the hands of the rebels, a small party of Villa followers rode up to the village at night and demanded provisions. Upon being refused they threatened to shoot up the community, and members of the local militia, or social defenders, opened fire on them, driving them into the brush. The next morning the reprisal attack began and lasted several hours, during which time the farmers succeeded in killing at least fifteen of the attacking party. ,f Tem-pelho- well-inform- counter-revolutio- TO RESTORE sion.

Concentrating his attack on the backers of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood Lowden for the Reand Gov. F.-publican nomination, Senator Rwah declared the managers were attempt ing to control the Republican convention by the use of money, while the Lowden organization apparently was spending even greater sums to gain support for their candidate. Within ten days, he predicted, two Democratic aspirants, whom he (did not name, would be found spending quite as much as any Republican in the i field. The speech brought on a heated de- bate, during which Senator Moses, New Hampshire, manager of General Woods Washington headquarters, made a general denial that excessive funds had been used In the Wood candidacy or that any money had been spent except legitimately and necessarily. In the course of the debate, the question of a third term for President Wilson was raised by Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, who said that if any Democrat were seeking a third tcrinl the people ought to JaJow r of it, and oppose itr Senator JJqrah replied that he had evidence wMcb convinced him the president was trying for another nomination.. Senator Borahs speech was made in support of a bill Introduced to limit the expenditures of any candidate to $10,000 in each state, to compel any person or corporation making a contribution of more than $100 to give the donation publicity through the attorney general, and to require each candidate to make public, within fifteen days before the convention and again within thirty days after the convention, a complete list of contributions.
