Of this amount $467.09 was owed at the

NO TREATING NOW
IN DEAR OLD LONDON
Law is No Joke; No American Sunday
Closing Affair; Is Being En-
forced to Letter.
BY Wilbur S. Forrest.

London, Nov. 2.-(By mail. 81
London's anti-treating law is no joke.
It is no American Sunday closing af-
fair. It's the real, unadulterated ar
ticle. When American city fathers
|agree that there shall be no Sunday
saloons they draw up their ordinance
and notify the saloon keepers. But
they don't lock the back doors. Eng
land does. Also the windows. Also
the cellars. The vast difference be-
tween American and British observ-
ance is startingly shown in the effects
of this latest step against intemper-
ance. In one month drinking has
diminished rs to 40 per cent in Eng
land. Drunkenness is down forty per
cent and still decreasing. Careful
investigation proves today that there
| is no treating in London. Fashion
able cafes in London's downtown dis
trict now have many empty chairs.
Leading hotel bars lack the little
groups of "strategists' who gathered
daily to discuss the war over whisky
and soda. Professional "moochers,"
we'll known in London, have been
annihilated by the law which says
they may have no drink unless they
pay for it. Semi-respectable restaur-
ant-public houses have been hard hit.
No groups gather to talk over ale and
bitter. The patrons are drinking al
most pathetically alone. The lower
class of public house has suffered less
Laborers still drop in for their morn
ing and evening nip or tankard of
ale. They paid for it themselves be-
fore, anyhow. At certain American

admits she isn't making so many
nowadays. She knows many of the
most prominent Americans in London
and many who frequently come over
but she admits she's not seeing them
so often. The secretary of one of
London's largest clubs declares that
two drinks are now being taken
where three were consumed before.
The manager of a well-kown West
End cafe admits that his daily bar
receipts are off nearly forty per cent.
There is no one to buy for ''the other
fellow Police court figures show
that where London produced 1000
arrests weekly for drunkenness be-
| fore, there are now not more than
500. In other parts of England and
in Wales and Scotland, where the law
! is effective, police figures sum up that
where there were 600 convictions for
drunkenness there are now 400. In
Liverpool during the month preceding
the non-treating order there were 1913
arrests and in the following month
but 1875. In Newcastle there were
rs against Al, Durham SO against
"a, Northumberland, 40 against rs.
and Cardiff against 1.

NO OTHER INFORMATION
Nothing Concerning German
Official Contained in
Dispatches.

New York, June 24.-In the absence
of dispatches from London concerning
the disposition of the Norwegian
American liner Bergensfjord, detain-
ed by British authorities at Kirkwall,
there is much speculation here as to
what happened to DR.. Bernhard Dern-
burg, former colonial secretary Of the
German empire, and who sailed from
this city aboard the steamer on June
IL under a guarantee of safe conduct
given by representatives in America of
the allied powers. All that is definite
ly known here is that the Bergens-
fjord's voyage to Bergen, Norway, has
been interrupted and that she has been
taken into KirkwalI and detained
there. This intelligence reached New
York after a two days delay by Brit
ish censors, the dis:jatchl being. fled
Monday, and dstayeds q 4 'tgansrtie iesion
until yesterday.
The dispatch also stated that the
Swedish steamer Varing, from Savan-
nah for a Swedish port, had likewise
been detained by the British authori-
ties. The steamer Frederick VIII,
which reached New York today from
Scandinavian ports, was detained a
day at Stornoway, and the Dutch lin
er Noordam, arriving yesterday, was
held up three days by Kirkwall au-
thorities.

days of the Nelson county fair, July
Q and 8. 1.."
Treadwell Twichell is a farmer,
owning and operating one of the big
gest farms in the northwest, near
Mapleton, N. d. He was a candidate
for governor some years ago on the
progressive republican ticket and won
national fame, when he went to Wash
ington to protest on behalf of North
Dakota farmers against the -eciproci-
ty act, which wauld have let down the
bars to flood of Canadian wheat in
competition with the American raised
product.
Lotus is the acknowledged head of
the Equity Cooperative exchange,
which is trying to get the state OF
North Dakota to establish a state own
ed terminal elevator at st. Paul, MINI.
But this debate will not be the only
attraction at the Nelson county fair.

common ground upon which TO stand.
Even the competition between ST.

Farmers and business men in this
state do not hesitate to stamp with
approval or disfavor every act of the
