ATTACKS VIERECK'S >.
BOOK ON ROOSEVELT
American Defence Society
Appeals to Palmer.

The American Defence Society calls
on the public to write letters of protest
to Attorney-General Palmer against
George Sylvester Viereck's book THE
Roosevelt Mystery" which, according to
Viereck's advertisements in his Amer
lean Monthly, has been barred from
book stalls, newspapers and magazines
by ''the invisible government"
Viereck, once publisher of the de-
funct Vaterland and a sincere and
unfalterlng friend of William Of Hohen-
zollern, bats prospective purchasers of
his book by asking in his advertisements
thereof such questions as:
WAS Theodore Roosevelt hypo-
critic? Did DIR. Dernburg pay a secret
visit to Oyster Bay? Was Theodore
Roosevelt of Jewish descent? Did Theo-
dore Roosevelt defend the Kaiser after
the invasion of Belgium? What killed
Theodore Roosevelt?"
The American Defence Society asks
that these letters of protest include q
denunciation of Viereck's anti-Wilson
propaganda in his magazine. The Ger
man editors publication advertises such
bits of information as how to send food
stuffs to Germany and Austria and
twenty-one reasons for the Impeachment
of President Wilson.

PREMIUM ON EXCISE
BOND DOUBLED
Liquor Sellers Must Pay $I6O
for FetD Weeks of Grace.

Premiums on excise bonds, hitherto
$50. have gone up to $50, according to
notices issued to liquor dealers by the
insurance companies.
Applicants for licenses to hold for the
remaining four months until constitu-
tional prohibition becomes effective were
informed that they must pay the
doubled rate, as follows: $3.50 for New
York and Bronx counties. $3.50 for
Brooklyn and Kings, $50 for large
hotels. clubs and early closing places
$50 for the Bronx annexed district.
The double price. which 1t is estimated
will give the bonding companies an ad-
ditional revenue of 100000, served to
widen the already yawning breach be-
tween the liquor dealers and the State
Excise Department.
Dealers who had paid $50 already
were notified by letter: "As you have
paid one-half on your bond 1t is re-
