ASK Time TO GET
THEIR GOODS SOLD
Merchants in Dilemma Be-
cause of Flag Desecra-
ton Law.
WRITE TO U. S. ATTORNEY

Wont you give US time to dispose OF
our stock of goods on which appear
representations of the flag? We did
not know of the pendency of this 1egis-
1ation and could easily have persuaded
Congress to defer its operation for a
month or two. Congress could not have
meant that pennant bearing pictures
of Wilson and Marshall surmounted or
surrounded by American flags was an
article of merchandise as contemplated
by the act prohibiting the desecration
of the national emblem"
This and similar pleas are being made
daily to John f. Laskey. United States
attorney by merchants who bought
novelty stocks before the passage of
the flag desecration act, which was ap-
proved February S. The question of
the pennant as law violation was put
up to the prosecutor today for the first
time. If the law is enforced strictly.
street Venders and others will not be
allowed to sell any penhant which has
flag upon il or any portion of the
flag.
Mr.. Laskey's response to each request
for time is that he is without power
to enlarge or modify an act of the
legisla ature.
The enforcement of the law, however.
he tells the merchant, will be sane and
reasonable The spirit rather than
the exact letter of the law will govern
all prosecutions, it is stated.

Sends Notice to Police.

The United States attorney today for
warded to Raymond W. Pullman. major
and superintendent of police, copy of
the act, with a letter advising him that
ii is the desire of the Office to have the
law enforced according to its spirit
and with reason and discretion
Maj. Pullman, when asked about the
steps taken by him to notify merchants
against infringing the law, stated that
he was awaiting a decision by the
United States attorney as to the appli
cation of the law to articles placed on
sale with representations of the flag
upon them. There are few fragrant
violations in this city. Mai. Pullman
said, such as the use of the flag on
brick walls, signboards and store signs
to advertise merchandise.
Where such conditions have come
under the observation of the police
notice has been served on the pro-
prietor of the esta tablishment to efface
the flag, it is said.
Mr.. Laskey will not decide for the
merchants who call on him, taking the
position that the construction Of the
law is for the courts. He furnishes
each with copy of the law and leaves
the visitor to seek legal advice from
his counsel as to whether the particu-
lar article falls under the ban of the
statute.

The Greek legation here has made

Greek king did not refuse to guarantee
that order would be kept in the streets.

forces landed with orders to take pos
session of commanding heights and that
the Greeks did not open fire first in the
clash that followed. 1t also asserted
that no shot was fred upon the lega-
tions, and that order was re-esta blished
after the arrest by the police of two
hundred individuals. since released on
the fnsistence of the allies.
