Berlin Asked to Sanction

In Switzerland

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Germany
has been asked through Spanish diplo-
matte channels to send representatives
to Bernc, Switzerland, to meet Ameri-
can representatives there on August
s, to discuss maintenance. treatment
and exchange Of prisoners. In response
to a proposal from the State Depart
ment, the German government recently
signifed its agreement in principle to
such conference.
The United States also has asked
Germany to permit Swiss commission
to visit German prison camps to deter
mine what American prisoners may be
classed as invalids and released for
internment in Switzerland. Reciprocal
privileges are promised,
The State Department made public q
communication from the Swiss govern
ment consenting to receive invalided
Americans and intern them until the
end of the war.
1t was announced that the proposal
to the German government was sent
through the Spanish Ambassador a,
Berlin on June Is and that no reply
had been received up TO this time.
A schedule of what the United States
would regard as disabilities warrantine
repatriation Of war prisoners or their
internment in a neutral country has
been forwarded to Germany, and the
request made that immediate intern
ment in Switzerland be permitted in
the cases of those Americans who OBJ.
viously would come under any schedule
agreed upon.
All of these questions will be dis
cussed full at the proposed confer
ence, if it is arranged.
The Swiss note replying to the orig
inal American proposal, addressed te
Minister Stovall, follows:
at is with particular satisfaction
that we learn by your excellency's note
of May 9 that the government of the
United States has conceived the ides

N!scord. To pretend the Jones amend

Mr.. Johnston estimated there are
250, 100000 gallons of distilled liquors
valued at 0,000,000, against which
there is between 100000 and
$250,000,000 outstanding obligations.
Bankers favor prohibition, he said, but
they want to see it brought about
without financial loss and probably
fifteen months would be required to
do that.
Secretary Daniels appeared to ad-
vocate prohibition. He said his dry
order in the navy had resulted in in
creased efficiency and proved its value.
eff you say we must have saloons out

added, "you can say also it is necessary

tried unsuccessfully to ascertain who
inserted the advertisement, but learned
that the bill was ordered sent to man
named "Robert T. Crane"
Mr.. Colby reiterated his belief that
the liquor situation should be allowed
to remain unchanged for the present.
Nothing can be of greater injury
than to bring up this question at this
time, Mr.. Gompers declared. He said
prohibitionists were faddists, and it
was hypocrisy to pretend that the
amendment is being urged on the
grounds of food conservation. "When
the President comes to the conclusion
that the production of beer should be
minimized," Mr.. Gompers added, "you
won't hear a word Of opposition come
from the lips Of labor"
,, Members Of the committee questioned
, him about the Presidents attitude.
' "The President has ever been har
