The Douglas County Retail Drug
gists' association, at special meeting
held in Hotel Fontenelle, unani-

legislative enactment for the elimi-
nation of liquor from drug stores after

Ninety-hve of IFS druggists Of greater
Omaha are members of the associa-
ton.
Explaining the situation, Secretary
Freytag said:
"We have sufficient evidence to lead
us to believe that it will be for our
best interests to eliminate the sale Of
liquors entirely from drug stores.
Prof. O'Brien OF the Creighton col
lege of pharmacy told US at the spe-
cial meeting that he has been asked
by thirty saloon men for registered
pharmacists to be employed in drug
stores they expect to open as soon as
they close their saloons for the last
time.

A representative of local whole
sale drug house told US five saloon
men have discussed drug store propo-
sitions with him. We contend there

paper manufacturers at hearing

tigators bearing on costs and profits
Of paper manufacture, but consented
to continue consideration Of distri-

Members OF the trade commission
appeared astonished when the manu.
fact,irers declined to testify and as
serted the original hearing was called
at the request OF the manufacturers
themselves. The postponement, they
said, not only was for time to study
the distribution plan, but to give the

Spain Sends Note
To Germany On the
Submarine Issue

Madrid (Via Paris, Dec. D.-Thd
note addressed to Germany on the
submarine question by the Spanish
government reviews at length the
policy of Madrid, from the time the
first Spanish ship, the lsidoro, was
torpedoed in August, 1915. 1t says
that the Spanish government has ale
WAYS maintained that it was illegal to
destroy prizes, as is the constant prac-
tice of submarines and that the cabi-
net also demanded observation of the
declaration of London, notably Ar
ticle so, which it is maintained sub
marines violate by abandoning the
crews of sunken ships to the mercy OF
the waves, far from land.
The note further recalls the vigor
of the representation of the Span
ish government, which it says some-
: times caused the Berlin government
to be surprised at the radical attitude
of Spain, whose protests, it is held,
have been more energetic than those
Of any other neutral state, even the
United States. With regard to the
contraband question, the note says:
what the Spanish government
does not admit, is the central EN-.
pres Interpretation of international
law whereby they destroy ships OF
nations which have always COM
planned and protested against such an
Interpretation"
The note concludes with an am
nouncement that further steps are be-
ing taken to avoid or diminish in tu-
ture the risks to Spanish shipping.
