ODESSA IS DRY FOR
FIRST TIME IN THE
HISTORY OF RUSSIA

Odessa, Russia, May 3.-Odessa is
dry for the first time in its history.
The consumption Of spirituous liquors
has been technically forbidden since
the early days tt the war. but police
enforcement Of the ordinance was lax,
and the traffic was never completely
suppressed until the new revolution
ary regime took control of the city.
All the old police were disbanded and
enrolled in the army, while their
places were taken by local constables
enlisted from the veteran soldiers,
students and citizens. This constabu
larry displayed the most commendable
energy in the first days of.their new
Office in ferriting out and sealing up
all stocks Of liquors. and ever since
their crusade, Odessa has enjoyed the
results Of enforced sobriety.

making efforts are declared to be
leading Germany to the brink of ruin.

ung, accuse the premier Of endanger-
ing the monarchy and Of sailing a
course prescribed by the Socialists.
A Hamburg correspondent at Ber-

governments policy is growing in all
directions and that its reticence on
peace terms is being used to sharpen
mutual suspicion and the antagonism
Of the party. The Socialist leaders. he
