Army Demobilization as Factor in the Case
Washington reports discuss President Wilson's order keeping wartime prohibition until after demobilization. House indecision on enforcement legislation continues, with plans to delay until after the holiday recess. Randall warns of a whiskey orgy, while proposing emergency measures to curb interstate spirits transport. Army demobilization timelines suggest 900,000 must be discharged before action, with 450,000 in the expeditionary force to return by August, and some divisions released from Pershing.
