cent visit with count Won Bernstorff.
former German ambassador TO the
United States. says:
4 had determined TO see Bernstorff
as soon after reaching Germany as
possible. IrTas thus determined, not
only because I count him one OF the
brainiest individuals I ever met in any
country. but also because I was sure
I should discover him to be one Of the
biggest figures in the new Germany Of
today. And I was not mistaken He
is. But Il took me more than two
months and a 5000 mile journey TO
make sure OF it.
On Platform Of station.

room II those carriages had disgorged
themselves Of half their load.
After our greeting BernstOrff

American WHISKY Floods
Dublin, Causing AIarm
Among Irish DisiilIers

Dublin. Nov zs.-CBy The Associ-
ated Press)-The importation OF many
thousands OF gallons Of whisky from
America. as a result Of prohibition in
the United States has caused alarm
in the Irish distiuing trade
War restrictions have greatly ham
pered the Irish trsds- The distiIiers
were prevented IN the 1851 season
from making the usual quantity OF
whisky. Next year they we're closed
down altogether, and even in the
present year were only permitted to
make a reduced supply. The prices,
OF course. went up, and distluery
shares advanced in the stock ex-
changes
The American whisky can easily be
sold az a lower price than the Irish
article, and Il is being freely taken
up by the Irish retailers. one pro-
vincial honder IS said to have paid
nearly 100000 in duty on his con
signment What the dlstillers are
most afraid OF Is that the American
spirit may be blended or faxed up
and sold as Irish or Highland whisky
one interesting fact stated In the
Dublin papers Is that al present no
American whisky IS sold in Dublin as
