The government is without authority to prohibit the manufacture and sales of liquor, wines or beer for non boverage purposes, according to a ruling by the attorney general pub lished today by tbe Internal revenue bureau. The opinion expressly stated that there must be no UmKatlon on the use of liquor for non-bever age purposes, except that pre scribed by congress 4n limiting the sale of spirituous liquors to one pint for ten days. The question of limi tation, the opinion said, thus is left to the good faith of the physician. The onlnlon said. "I think tbe In tentlon was to leave the physician unlettered, by government control, but subject to be dealt with crimin ally and by reversion of permit If he acts in bad rattn. ine opinion was dated March 3rd and was signed by the then Attorney General Pal mer. 0 Senator Stanfield Doing Good Work (News-Review Washington Bureau.) WASHINGTON. Mar. 9 Robert StanSera, the new senator from Ore gon, went Into action with a ven geance and has succeeded In making the prospects of the wxl grower or Oregon somewhat brighter. An amount equal to one half the entire wool crop of Idaho, the greatest wool producing state In the union, will not be dumped on the market now with consequent demoralization of prices. Senator Stanfield and Senator Gooding, of Idaho, had a conference with the secretary of war, which re sulted In the Indefinite postponement of the public sale of 10,000,000 pounds of government owned wool, scheduled to take place March 10. . The mere announcement of this postponement does not convey to the general public the Importance of the action. In the first place, the public sale of this large amount of govern ment wool at this time, when the clip of 1920 Is yet ownrd by tbe producer and the 1921 clip is Just being msde would result In a very low price Be ing offered for the government wool and If sold, wonld be at a large finan cial sacrifice to 'the government. In the second place the sale of this wool or even Its offer for sale would de moralize the market and lei to fur ther distressing financial conditions of the already distressed wool grow- The postponement will probsbly result In stabilising the wool msrket C.

In turning the armory over to the new officers, who by law are vested with authority over the building. Adju tant General White commended Dr. Fred Haynes, the former custodian, very highly. The building has been kept in fine shape the officer states, and Dr. Haynes Is deserving of a great deal of praise for his efficient service.

LONDON. March 9. The means which the allies will take to extract the required reparations from Ger many were revealed today by An drew Bonar Law, government leader In the house of commons. Bonar Law announced that a bill will be introduced shortly providing for the seizure of 60 per cent ot tbe value of German' exports. Ho stated the Immediate passage of the bill will be urged, since trade with Germany has been suspended for the time being. With the first anger against the dilatory tactics of the German dele gation subsiding, the Insistent ques tion has arisen or how allied occu pation of additional territory Is to compel the payment of the Getman Indemnity. It Is generally believed that the proposed customs tax will yiold only a comparatively small amount of money. It was pointed out that while tbe Rhine district Is suffi ciently well guarded to prevent cus toms running, there are no guards at the German seaports. The neces sity of seizing some of these ports has been urged upon some ot the government officials. The military and navy activity will be expensive, possibly consuming a great share ot the money gained through tbe customs. From French sourcos It was learned that even a more extensive Invasion of Germany la urged In the hope that Gormany at least will agree to pay something like the great sum demanded by he allies.
