PECULIAR ATTITUDE
OF HUN MERCHANTS
SHOWN BY LETTERS

TREVES, France. - To illustrate
the German attitude toward the war
as a mere artificial interruption of
trade relations, the following Incl
dent is cited by the chief American
censor:
"A German firm in the American
occupied area writes to a firm in
New York, enclosing the New York
firms letter of June 6, 1914, and
began in this manner: In reply to
yours of June 6, 1914, beg to
state ETC."
At the American censor's office
here, where all mail from the occu-
pied zone is passed upon before
being sent on its way to the En-
tente countries, an average of two
thousand letters a day written by
Germans have been received, with
indications of a gradual increase
during the next few weeks.

BOOZE WILL CO
IN DISCARD ON
MONDAY NIGHT

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81
1t is now practically assured that
no steps will be taken by Congress
to prevent the operation of war
time prohibition, which will become
effective throughout the United
States Monday midnight. 1t is prob
able also that the law will become
operative without the enactment by
Congress of additional legislation
for its enforcement.
In discussion of the question
today, Representative Andrew j
Volstead, Republican, of Minnesota
chairman of the house judiciary
committee, said that it would be
impossible for Congress to pass an
enforcement measure before the first
of July. Three different measures
for the enforcement of the new law
have been introduced continued
Volstead, but action cannot possibly
be taken on any one of them at
this time, owing to the press of
other business. Pending congress
sional action, he said, the courts
should have no difficulty in making
the law stick.
The bureau of internal revenue
has defined intoxicating liquor as
meaning any beverage containing
more than one-half Of one per cent
alcohol.
