While President Wilson's announcement Sat urday night that he would not lift the ban on war time prohibition until the army was demobilized provoked a swarm of varying comment in con gressional circles, there were n.i indi cations Sunday night of any coni'tii ied move to obtain immediate considera tion by the house of enforcement leg islation. The general view was there was law enough for the present and that the house would adhere to the plan outlined by lenders to let the whole prohibition question go over, until af ter the holiday recess, which may be gin tonight or tomorrow. Members opposed to the drastic provisions of the measure reported out by the iudi ciary committee, gave notice Sunday they would endeavor to have thes-i stricken out on the floor.

The former chancellor says that he assumes responsibility. ror the acts of Germany during his.'. period of office and places himself at f ', the disposal of the allies. The request of tho former chancel' lor was made Juno 25 in u communi cation to Premier Clcmcnceuu, prcsl' dent of the penco conference. Von Bethmann-IIollwog, it is said, desired to take this step May 20 but refrained nt that time on tho expressed wish of the German government. The com munication asks Premier Clcmenceau to bring the following document to thi knowledge of the allied and associated powers: In article 227 of the peace terms, the allied and nssocintcd powers, pub- . lifly arraign Ipa majesty, William II , , of Hohcnzollorn, former German em peror, for a supremo offense against international morality and the) sancti ty of treaties. At tho samo time they announco their resolve to address a. request t tho government of tho Neth erlands for the surrender of the for mer emperor for purpose of trial. "With reference thereto, I take tho liberty of addressing a rapiest to the powers to let the projected proceed ings against his,mnjcsty, the emperor, be taken against me. For this object I hereby place myself at the disposal of the allied and associated powers. "As former German imperial chan cellor, I bear for my period of office . sole responsibility, as regulated in the German constitution, for tho pcliticul acts of the emperor. I bcliove I de duce therefrom the claim that tho reckoning which the allied and associ ated powers desire to demand for these acts shall be demanded solely of me. "Being convinced that the allied and associated powers .will not deny inter national respect to the legal position fixed 'try public constitutional raw, I may express tho hope that they will he inclined to yield to my urgent re- luest.
