Commencement S e r m on lieved In some quarters that th* administration would fdvocate amendment of the Vqlstead act to permit liquor on foreign ships, un der proper safeguards, to corns In to the territorial waters^ of th# United States. Others In touch with the situ ation, however, are of the opinion that the real solution of tbs prob lem would be to make separate treaties with tbs powers which would have the effect of substitut ing the provisions of the Volstead act under the well-recognlxed tac tics that any treaty may supplant the provlalona of an exlstls* act In case of conflict between .hem at any point. Whether such an end can be at tained without Interference with the Eighteenth amendment, by confin ing the scope of the treaties sole ly to the Volstead act Itaol* fre quently has been discussed by In ternational law experts in Wash Ington and It Is regarded aa pos Bible that administration official; have come to the conclusion that It can be done.

The President made a spcctacu- lardash from hia residence to » special train in a powerful motor car, the train having been prepared in advance for such an eventuality, pulled out from the station as soon as tho president waa safely on thu train. As the train pulled out and gathered speed, the Vice Minister and few other faithful adherents waved a last goodby to the pres ident. Hy the flight of the president. I Perkin is left not only without a president but without a cabinet, the last named body having resigned on June 6, ostensibly because of a disagreement with tho president over the appointment or several petty officials but actually, it is said, because of the financial im passe facing the government. Following the resignation of the cabinet the president tried in vain to reorganize the cabinet, but without success. The failure to ro- organizo was taken by many to be the "handwriting on the wall" ho far as the government was con cerned. It was thought by many persons close to the government that th# capture of the foreigners by the Suvhow train bandits was planned by the antagonistic party simply to discredit tnc government in the eyes of the foreign nations and in this manner cut off any chance of intervention, lnthe event of a civil war, which might follow.the de mand of the militaristic party for the vacationg of the presidency.
