Recently Issued.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Commis-

issued stringent instructions to coliec-
tors of internal revenue in regard to
the enforcement of the anti-narcotic
law. Instructions as TO Withholding
special registration from physicians

ed patients or who under the laws or
the state or under municipal regula-
tions are net permitted to practice
medicine
Here is an excerpt from the instruc-
tions:
"The fact that registration is limit
| 81 TO certain named persons indicates
| that there must be power of diserim-
lnation vested in collectors of internal
| revenue as to who shall be registered
and from whom special taxes may be
| received. Therefore persons not legit
imately engaged in their trade or pro
| fession cannot legally register under
| the terms of this act
For example, party must be a
| legitimate producer, importer, manu-
/ IactureT. seller CT distributor of the
/ aforesaid drugs, and likewise a physi-
| clan, dentist or veterinary surgeon can
register under this act and dispense
! these drugs in the course of his pro
/ fessional practice only 1t also follows
/ from the express language of the act
/ that such physician, dentist or veter-
| mary surgeon can prescribe such drugs
/ when he has been employed to pre-
scribe for the particular patient re
ceiving such drugs and upon wnom he
shall personally attend in the course
of his professional practice only; and
i such prescriptions must be made lin
the legitimate practice Of his profes
sion, and then only when employed to
prescribe for the particular person re.
ceiving such drugs. -

WASHINGTON, June u. = The
sudden collapse of the overwhelming
victorious westward march of Russia S
armies into Prussia and the reverses
which they suffered were attributable
to the recent crisis in relations be-
tween China and japan, according to
information which has reached diplo-
matte circles here
Russia turned to Japan for a supply
Of war materials. Japan was in a po-
sition to sell any quantity of ammuni-
tion and small arms and even cannon.
When negotiations between China
and Japan assumed a critical phase it
is said that the japanese government
regarded it as prudent to retain these
military supplies in Japan in case the
Chinese should actually 60 to war.
The effect of the conservation of the
| japanese resourcese was manifested at
the Russian front for it developed that
the Russians had exhausted all their
own reserve stores of ammunition

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
1 FOR POPE BENEDICT
Pontiff Is Still Active on Behalf of tho
Many Wounded Prisoners
of the War.

ROME, July 12-With the official
announcement in the Osservatore Ro-
mano, the Vatican organ, of details of
Pope Bendiet s plan for the temporary
exchange of i'll and wounded prisoners
of war the belief is expressed here by
persons in authority that the Nobel
peace prize, amounting to $4,000 will
be awarded to the Pontiff The prize
was not awarded last year owing to the
outreak of the war. The Pope. it is
said, has decided that if the prize is
awarded to him he will spend the mon
ey for the benefit of the prisoners of
war;
The paper announces that the negoti-
ations between the Holy See ano
Switzerland for the exchange of pris-
oners have been almost concluded anc
that the adhesion of the belligerents
has been partially obtained. The ex,
penses of the prisoners arc to be borne
by the bclligerents, who will take back
the prisoners of their nationaIities
when recovered, replacing them by
others.
Negotiations are going on regarding
similar arrangement for the transfer
| to q neutral country of Austrian anG
| Russian prisoners. Pope Benedict is
convinced that prisoers who are i'll OF
wounded will be nursed better il
Switzerland than in the country whose
| prisoners they are and that the pres
cnt mortality among the captives viii
be substantially reduced. Moreover il
will give more hospital accommodates
| to the belligerents.

Federation Arc Againss Peace
AZ Amy Price.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 12.-
The heads of international trades
unions, with half million members.
comprising the building trades depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, voted decisively at their clos
ing session here against a peace at any
price protest to President Wilson.
After debating for more than an
hour, an appeal from Representative
Frank Buchanan, seventh Illinois dis
trict, that the building trades be en-
listed in nationwide movement to
influence the course of the White
House administration against any pos
sibiGty of war with Germany, the lead
ers fatty refused.
In a terse statement, council officials
explained that they regarded it as a
patriotic duty to stand back of the
President and avoid any action tend
ing to embarrass his conduct of great
national task.
Congressman Buchanan is said to be
friendly to German influences in the
West;
Drastic action to stop the big strike
which has completely suspended build
ing operations in Chicago and thrown
thousands of men in many trades out
of employment, was taken at an all
night session when ten days were Civ
en- to the Chicago building trades coun-
ell in which to cancel an unlawful
agreement with the General Employ
.ers' association in the western metrop
oils.
The ultimatum automatically alb.
rogates the charter of the Chicago
trades council if it is not met within
the time fixed.

President Wilson goes straight to
the point by inviting Germany to state
plainly whether she will respect in the
future the rights of non-combatants
and the laws of humanity.
