GERMANY WILL

right to destroy any American vessel
carrying contraband, while agreeing to
pay damages for the act.
Two Points Rejected.
Two points made by the United
States are rejected by Germany. One
"a the statement of the American
government in its note of April % that
prize court proceedings meant un.
necessary delay, all matters concerned
being susceptible for prompt settle.
mcnt throughout diplomatic channels.
and the other was hat the destruc-
ton of the Frye was "unQuestionably
a violation of the obligations imposed
upon the imperial government under
Existing treaty stipulations between
he United States and Prussia"
treaty Enlarged.
Under the Prussian-American treaty
Of 1928, the binding force of which was
admitted by Germany in its note OF
April 3. the right of citizens of either
country to ship arms and ammunition
rs well as all other kinds of contra
band in their own vessels was granted
in time of war but each party had the
right to dctain such c~ontraband and
make payment for it if confscated.
The note from Germany today en-
largcs upon the treaty OF 1928 by
claiming that while the treaty did not
specifically permit the destruction of
n ship, nevertheless, if its ~contraband
could not be stopped in any other way,
it could, in the extreme case, be cf-
fected by the destruction of the contra
band and Of the ship carrying it."
All Go to Prize Courts.
The effect of Germany's answer to-
day, if It's assertions are accepted by
the United States would be to throw
into the prize courts for decision all
cases of whether destruction of an
American vessel constituted an ex-
IRENE case of military necessity.
International law, outside of treaty
stipulation, has contained many a
moot cas- on hat point. While the
declaration of London established fin

DISPENSARY SALES
FOR MONTH OF JUNE
Conditions in Charleston Have Un.
dergone Considerable Trans
formation During Year.

Charleston Special to The State
July 10.-An interesting light is
thrown upon the dispensary sales here
for the month of June, when COM
pared with June, 1914, when condi-
tions were, of course, largely differ
ent, since now the gallon-a-month
law, the raiding of constables and a
sharp drawing in of liquor law viola
ton are features. While the total
sales for June, 1915, made by the
dispensaries Of the county were about
$1,000 more than in June, 1914,
the sale of hard liquors in the city
dispensaries attained figure of
something like $4,000 larger than
for the preceding June. Sales fell
off in the country dispensaries, how
beer was some $1,000, which reduced
the net increase to about $1,000. The
mystery is, what caused such a slump
in beer sales here this June. COM
pared with last June, it being gen.
orally conceded that the drinker con-
sumes more beer than hard liuuor in
hot weather. Various reasons are
advanced for this increase in hard
liquor sales and the decrease in beer
distribution. So some extent, it Is
argued, beer is much harder to han
die than hard liquor, and consequent
ly the tigers have kept small stocks
of beer on hand. Several places have
gone out of business and the dispen-
saries do not sell much beer over the
counter The hotels and seashore re-
sorts have been dry" this summer
and that accounts for a good deal OF
the loss in dispensary beer sales.
1t is also pointed out that this
marked decrease in beer sales and
the large increase in hard liquor sell
ing is natural outcome of the en-
forcement of the liquor laws. Loss of
sales in the rural dispensaries is as
cribed to war tines
