NO LIQUOR FOR MEN
 CALLED TO SERVICE
Dealers Are Notified Not to Sell to DrafteeS Who Have Been Se-
 IeCted for Army.

Several local cafe proprietors have been served with a notice from the office of the adjutant- general to the effect that it is forbidden henceforth to serve liquor of any kind to men who have been called for military serv- ice-that is, men who have been noti- fled by their local board to report on a certain date for induction into the army. Violations of the order are punishable by a fine of 1000 or irn- prisonment, or both.
 The liquor dealers are perpIexed over the new ruling. They say that while they may learn from lists pub- ]ished in local newspapers the names of New Britain young men called for service, there is no way at present for them to know who has or has not been called in other cities. Conse- quently, it is next to impossible for them to know in the cases of tram sients whether they have been called for service or not. Until more def- mite instructions are received, it is difficult for them to understand how the law can be made effective.

Washington, June 14-With only five members present. the senate agriculture committee today tentative ly inserted in the agricultural appro- priation bill the amendment of Sena- tor Jones, of Washington, to provide for national prohibition during the war.

 Senators Norris. Kenyon and Page voted for the amendment. and Sena- tors Smith, South Carolina acting chairman of the com mmittee, and Smith, of Georgia, opposed the reso- lution.
 The committee also eliminated from the bill d house amendment prOvid- ing that no money appropriated in tho measure shall be used in payment of salaries of persons of draft age who have been given deferred classification while employed in the Department of Agriculture.
 Senator Smith, of South Carolina, immediately after the conference ad- journed, called another meeting of the committee for this afternoon at Whicl efforts will be made to reconsider the action taken on the prohibition amendment.

Danger Zone Warning Ignored.

Washington, June 14.-Intention Of the German government to de- clare the eastern coast of the United States a danger zone for neutral clippings, as intimated in advices re- ceived last night from Berlin, via Amsterdam, occasiOned no alarm whatever in official circles here today. Most officials considered the matter unworthy of comment. Those eX- pressing their views declared the Am sterdam dispatch meant little, as Ger many. by the sinking of IS vessels, ~ne of which flew neutral flags, on this side of the Atlantic, practically issued a warning to neutraIS that their flags would be no more respect ed in waters off the American coast than in the barred zone around Flu rope.
 Should the intimatcd warning" prove to be a formal announcement of the extension of the policy of ruthlessness to American waters, of fcials declared. the navy was pre- r@red to cope with Germany's under sea craft and no change of the pres ant plans would be necessary.
