Even alcohol used for sacramental and medicinal purposes must be ob- tained with permits, the manufactur- CT, seller and buyer being on the same plane.

WILHELM WOULD ENTER
 GERMANY WITH PERIL OF IMMEDIATE DEATH
ENGLISH CORRESPONDENT AFr- ER INVESTIGATING WRITES TO LONDON DAILY MAIL THAT FORMER EMPEROR DARE NOT RETURN TO HIS NATIVE LAND

LONDON, Nov. 22.-From a special investigation in western Germany the correspondent of the Daily Mail at The Hague has ascertained there is considerable hostility against the former emperor there. The core spOndent says that after Wilhelm HOhenzollern entered Holland a thousand German soldiers arrived at the frontier and demanded they be allowed to pursue and kill him They were turned back by Dutch frontier guards.
 The correspondent does not believe the former emperor could reach Der lin in safety, no matter what guar antees might be given. The former crown prince is universally hated also. His life in Germany, the cor. respondent declares, would not be worth an hours purchase. He is un- der close guard in Holland on fears of attack.
 Much publicity is being given to Eitel Friederich and August Wilhelm, respectively, the second and fourth sons of the former emperor, and the correspondents impression is that the royalists' hope is that through them dynsstic sympathy can be maintained.

ADDITIONAL SUBS GIVE SELVES UP
 ID GRAND FLEET
Hun Officer in Interview With Correspondent Would Jus tify Murder of Crews After Sinkings

LONDON, Nov. g British Wireless Service) Twenty more German sub- marines were surrendered to Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt, off Harwich this morning. This makes a total of 59 submarines thus far handed over. There would have been 21 surrender ed today, but one sank during the night.
 When the Germans arrived the rev olutionary element was noticeable. Some of the officers had replaced Prussian eagles on their caps with a red badge that recognized authority of the sailors and soldiers council. There seemed to be little discipline among them. To the officers one shouted:
 No officer-no kaiser"
 Some of the Germans were anxious to air such English as they possessed. One German officer, inclined to be communicative, attached himself to the correspondent and said he worked in London before the war. He add ed:
 q had an intimation, (many of us had) that we should be wanted in the summer of 1914, so I went back to Germany a month or two before war was declared. was not in the sub marine service at first, but volun- teered for it and had a fair share of luck You British say it was not fair fighting, but We Germans believe that the end justifies the means. Then you complain that We shoot your men while they are in the water. Why not? The men might be saved to fight us another day. We should be fools to let them"
 The crews of one submarine, ex- cept an officer, were intoxicated.

RYAN AND POTTER RESIGN AS HEADS
 AIRCRAFT BOARD
Both Intend Returning at Once to Their Place in Big Business of Nation and Re stunning Work
CBv Review Leased Virel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Resigna- tion of John D. Ryan, second assistant secretary of war and director of air service, and of William C. Potter. his chief assistant, was announced today by Secretary Baker. Both MT. Ryan and Mir Potter desire to return to their private business as quickly as possible, but Mir. Baker said they had consented to remain at their posts until the rush of aircraft demobiliZa- tion is over and later to give the de- partment the benefit of their experi- ence whenever necessary.
 After the retirement of Mir. Ryan and MT. Potter the offices they now hold will not be filled immediately, if at all It appears unnecessary to officials now that a new director should be named in Mir Ryan's place. There is no longer a production prob lem to be handled as the war is over and operation is naturally a military function. It was said that pending re- organization of the army and the war department on a peace basis. recom- mendations for which. will be laid be- lOIe COhSTeSS Dy SeCItidIg DdheTs u is not possible to arrange for the permanent aircraft establishment of the army. MT. Ryan, who was presi- dent of the Anaconda Copper company, was called on by President Wilson to take charge of aircraft production last May after charges of inefficiency against the board in the senate. Mir Ryan resigned his private position to take the position. Three months later he was made second assistant secre- tary of war.
 Mir. Potter. who is . banker, mining engineer, and former general manager of the American Smelling & Refining company. was called to assist MT Ryan in the task of getting the air craft production program into full swing.

REDUCTION MADE IN REVENUE BILL
 BY COMMITTEE
HalfrBillion Topped Off of Measure by Senate Finance Committee to Get It to Peace Basis
0Rv Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-Reduc, tions aggregating S5OO,OOO,OOO in the yield from the new war revenue bill were made today by the senate finance committee in revising the measure downward to the six billion dollar total for 1919 proposed by Sec retary McAdoo. The decrease was confined principally to tobacco. lux ury, semi-luxury and other special and excise schedules.
 Among the more important de- creases today were elimination of the luxury schedule proposed in the house bill, leyying 20 per cent on costly articles of clothing and other things, and supposed to raise S44, 4,235,00O.
 Elimination of the house tax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline. estimated to yield S40.0O0,000; reduction from 10 to 3 per cent, or about S2O0 .000.0 in revenue in rates on many articles classed as semi-luxuries and a reduc- tiOn of about one-half the house rates on tobacco about $5A000.00s in revenue
 The committee deferred decision on the plan. suggested by Secretary Me Adoo, and specifically presented yes terday by Chairman Simmons, for in cooperating in the measure specific rates for 1920 KtaxatiOn, by which the total revenue yield would be linn tied to $4.OO0.OO0.O0G. Republican members still vigorously oppose legis- lation for 1920 and the committee de- cided to pass that question temporar- fly. Tomorrow it will resume revi- sion of the miscellaneous taxes with a view to cutting off another S5O00OO,- 900 necessary to reduce the whole to six billion dollars.
 In cutting the excise. or semi-luxury schedules. today the committee re- duced from 10 to per cent the house rates on the following articles: Piano players, photographs, photographic films. candy, portable electric fans, thermos bottles. slot machines and toilet soaps and powders. The chew ing gum rate was cut from to per cent: that on hunting and bowie knives from 100 to 10 per cent; on firearms and ammunition from 25 to 10 per cent. and on sculpture. paint ings and statuary from 10 to 3 per cent.
 Ten per cent taxes imposed in the house bill on bathing suits and photo graphs or reproductions were en- tirely eliminated and that of 10 per cent on fur and wool articles made applicable to fur manufacturers only. In the excise schedule no change was made in the per cent sales tax on tires and accessories nor in the 10 per cent rate on sporting goods and liveGies. tapestries. textiles and yachts and motor boats.
 The 10 per cent sales tax on precious stones. jewelry and imita- tions. clocks. watches. opera glasses and similar articles was reduced to per cent.

LUXEMBURG, Thursday, Nov. 21. -(By the Associated Press. )-Gen- eral Pershing entered the city of Luxemburg this afternoon ahead of his troops. The American command er-in-chief drove into the capital in automobiles. The general was greet ed by thousands of cheering Luxem- burgers and with the blowing of sirens and the ringing of church and school bells.
 The Eighteenth infantry of the First division were the first American troops to enter the city.
 The Americans were greeted by thousands of civilians, who lined all the streets through which the troops marched School children tossed flowers in their pathway. and each soldier was presented a bouquet of chrysanthemums.
 Brig. Gen. Frank J. Parker's visit to Premier Emil Reuter- and his presen- tatiOn 10 the members of the cabinet brought the assurance that the gov ernment was in thorough accord with the Americans There was evident a spirit of heartfelt relief that the Ger mans had gone. It was arranged that ministers of state and the municipal authorities should continue their functions. the Americans part in af- fairs being nothing more than to make of Luxemburg link in the lines of communication and to stand pre- pared to maintain order.
