Justice Rules On Who Licked In World War
In Galveston on August 1, Justice Alex Gomen issued what is believed to be the first judicial opinion on whether the war between the United States and Germany was terminated by Congress and President Harding. The case, a dispute over possession of property brought by Ost Tertee, involved a year long delay tied to the present war. The court sustained the plain tiff that the president's peace resolution approval ended the war for transactions solely between American citizens.

Tax burden to be spread under reform plan
A Ways and Means Committee decision repeals the one cent express tax and shifts to manufacturing taxes for cereals and other items. A $10 per retailer levy on soft drink sellers is proposed, with transportation taxes eliminated and a new aim to distribute tax burden broadly while encouraging business. An official White House statement describes the reform program as raising needed revenue fairly and preventing evasion. Hunger is cited as a factor in digestion and a Chamberlain’s Tablets ad promotes digestion and appetite.
