GERMAN NATIONAL ASSEZNBL
REFUSED TO VOTE FOR TREATY.:
CABINET HAS NOT COLLAPSED
WILL KEEP UP SALE
OF REVENUE STAMPS
AFTER JULY
Says Commissioner Roper of Internal
Revenue Bureau, Although He Sees
No Reason to Doubt Incoming of
Wartime Prohibition.

foreseeing "no reason to doubt that war
time prohibition will become effective
July l." the internal revenue bureau, in
accordance with an opinion of the at
torney general, will continue the sale Of
stamps for intoxicating beverages after
that date. Commissioner Roper said,
however, the sale would be with the dis
tinct understanding that the manufac-

force the tax laws as related to alcoholic
beverages until they were repealed by
Congress. No provision for repeal is con
tanned in the legislation now before Con-
gress for enforcing wartime and ma

any institution is based on the loyalty
Of its members, so that he invited them
to become loyal members of the alumni
association, making them particularly
welcome, because three Of their number
have parents in the alumni association.

class, comparing the high school to an
overcoat, the pocket being the alumni

were removed from certain overeoat
and placed in the pockets being the
classes of the alumni that had found
their way into the pocket He assured
the already large association that it was

Pledges Unredeemed
Declares Officials

1t is estimated that there are in
the state of Tennessee, filed away In
the records of the various county
chairmen, bankers, postmasters and
other agencies, pledges Of Tennessee
people to purchase war savings
stamps that will aggregate no less
than $4,000 900, in the opinion of T.
r. Preston, the retiring state direc-
tor. These pledges were not redeemed
before the end of the year for one
reason and another, and it is not
worth while for anybody to discuss the
why. 1t is sufficient that the unre-
deemed pledges are In existence.
Now 1t is proposed by the treasury
department that those pledgors who
could not, or did not, redeem their
pledges N full before Dec, 81, have
the privilege for a limited time OF
buying the 1919 stamps and let the
purchases apply upon those old
pledges. Very soon a complete re-
port Of those unfulfilled promises will
be on file at state headquarters and
the pledgors will receive requests that
they go at once and take them up and
thus protect their record for n
swerving loyalty to them government
during its time of stress.
