Under the act all manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors are crimes against the United States. Whether Cncle Sam will dei:rt the well known water wagon, for a brief spree before constitutional prohibition replaces the war time ut next Janu ary, depends on congress and President Wilson. Congress can repeal tlie act, as the president partiully doilies, or the president can decluro demobiliza tion of the armed forces complete, thus in effect repealing it. 125,000 Saloons Closed War time prohibition today weuis: The dosing of 125,000 saloons, princi pally in big cities.

The law, howevi-i, was laxly enforced until about fifteen yews ago. This lax enforcement started Carrie Nation, (Huled prohibition advocate, on her famous saloon smashing career. Armed with an axe, she demolished the fixtures of several Kansas arJoous run ning wide open in violation of t.ie s'ate law, Her success at breaking up Can sits saloons, with an extensive propegan la campaign, caused her to ooiitmuj her bar smashing in ethor states.
