Wartime Prohibition Ends After Senate Overrides Veto
Washington reports that the Senate voted 69 to 20 to override President Wilson's veto of the prohibition enforcement bill. A White House statement says a presidential proclamation will end wartime prohibition immediately after the German peace treaty is ratified and demobilization completed. Internal Revenue agents move to enforce the act, with saloons allowed only beverages under 0.5 percent alcohol. Violations bring heavy penalties and official disrepute to the government.
