 Questionnaires All In.
 The Berlin legal advisory board has announced that the complete quota of questionnaires for this district has been issued and practically all have been returned, filled out. The allotted time for filling these papers out was seven days, and all registrants were obliged to have their papers ready by that time, or else suffer the penalty of being placed in Glass I.
