contribute 10 this result. The large amount
Of work thrust upon the evil authorizes
by the war conditions has not permitted
much to make the pavlllons attractive.
1.-The American Red Cross has secured
permission to visit these hospitals and 20
befriend the tuberculosis patients. IL hopes

be made much more comfortable, and their
families relieved Of anxiety. but that max

BERLIN PAPERS NOT
PROUD OF CONSPIRACY

Berlin, March 6.-Berlin newspapers
which were permitted finally to refer
to the proposed German-Mexican ALI.
ance revelations dc not seem partic.
ularly proud over the matter. The ma.
jority confine themselves to printing
the German official statement under
more or less noncommittal headlines.
The Tages Zeitung prints it under a
question mark, while the Vossische
Zeitung and the Morgen Post refer to
the conditional nature of the measure.
Only the Berliner Tageblatt and the
Lokal Anzeiger venture to comment
on it. The Anzeiger pictures the
measure as a patriotic and proper
step Of the government and lays stress
rather on the American than on the
German end of the story, which 1t
treats as a. maneuver by President
Wilson to force the armament meas
ure through congress.
The Tageblatt, after brief state
ment about the conditions in Mexico,
emphasizes the point in the German
declaration that the proposal was not
submitted to the Mexican government.

Fish the state with hone dry cUrdi-
iions as the result OF the prohsbL
tion vote OF last November. Senator
John A. Damon, OF Mt. Pleasant
came forward last night with stu
another dry measure
The Damon bill is designed 70
meet what some persons have
thought was a loophole in the Reed
federal amendment prohibiting ship
ments OF liquors into states having
prohibition laws. II was figured by
those seeing the locphole that indi-
yiduals who brought liquors In them
selves for their own use would not
be receiving shipments. and that
there would be nothing TO prevent
thirsty Detroiters from motoring
down TO Toledo on hot days ana
bringing back an auto fun OF wet
goods.
Senator Damon's bill puts tho lid
even on this scheme TO get drinks
into a dry state. II prohibits the
bringing OF liquors into the state by
any means. II prohibits the trans
Fortation OF liquors thru any Lart
OF the state In any way whatever.
II prohibits the carrying OF liquors
by anyone And finally II prohihitr
the possession OF liquors by anyone
within ths state. Specific cxeep-
tions are made, OF course. for the
medicinal. sacramental. mechanical,
scientific and chemical uses OF
liquors permitted under the consti.
