GERMANY WILL NOT EVEN ANSWER NOTE OF SUPREME COUNCIL; WILL
 TRY TO REACH ORAL AGREEMENT

BASEL, Switzerland Dec. 4.-(P)-That the German government has no intention of making any written answer to the recent note of the supreme council of the allies, is the claim made by the Der liner Tagebatt, according to advices received here tonight. It doesn't consider itself called upon to make any acknowledgment of the allied demand for signing protocol to the peace treaty as means of guaranteeing the execution of the peace treaty.
 The Tageblatt states that instead of making formal acknowledgment of the note and sending note in reply the German government will attempt to reach an oral agreement thru its peace commis- sioners with the supreme council. It is said that Germany will not agree to replace the sunken Ger man fleet ~

Case of the Bartender

Now, for these divers philanthro.
pies, what was to become of him: /:
He was to be dragged from office
thrown onto the street and possibly
buffeted about by job that his ex-
traordinary training rendered him
unsuited to fill.
Contrary to the conventional be-
lief, Mr.. Hussey continued, the bar
tender is no gilded will-o'- the -wisp
OF the neither world; no oil-haired
sport in point of fact. He is a man
with family, representative civic
entity, a gentleman who usually
votes straight ticket.
"There's Jimmy with two chill
dren," said Mr.. Hussey, Indicating
one of his barkeeps, "and Pat with
four. You won't find them around
no race track. You won't find them
around no Broadway jazz joints.
When they get through work thew
go home"

When Ne,C York Was Dry

The Association Opposed to Ma
tlonal Prohibition has files crammed
with the written word to prove
that prohibition will not work. Here
is the report Of Federal investiga-
tlon showing that in many dry
states the increase in drug users
had been terrifying; there, a schol-
arly treatise by medical graduate
tending to prove that drinking is
no more than the lifting of the hu-
man safety valve.
"Did you know" said the vener-
able secretary, that in 1855 the
state of New York went dry and
nine months afterward the law was
discarded? New York didn't want
to stay dry then and it wont now.
The Court Of Appeals at that time
decided that no legislation can in
terfere with a mans rights in prop

on and near Broadway each evening
after 6 o'clock to dine. Eighty per
cent of these take some part of their
nourishment in spurious liquid form.
AS a medium for linking the
provincial to the avenues of met
ropolitanism, for making him feel
more than at home, what can re-
place the luxurious cafe and the
orange speckled cocktail? How can
the visitor to this urban magnifi-
cence become enkindled on a glass of
lemon soda with that sense of we'll
being that makes money no object?
These are the questions the "drys"
will have to answer. Mr.. Cavanaugh
can't. 1t is his opinion that the
cafes will continue to sell such
liquid materials as they have at
hand until such time as that be-
comes legally impossible and then go
out of business. In that event the
cabaret and dance will be expunged; !;
electric signs that soar toward
heaven on earth will be dismantled,
and many a harassed Broadwayite
will presumably go back to his dark
lantcrl&
But the sober, well-dressed pro-
rrictors of these Broadway estab-
lishments don't think anything like
this is going to happen. They, too,
ere not going to get out of the wet
before it rains.
The Y. M. C. A. secretary, speak
ing for himself and in an &c offcio
sense for the Salvation Army, the
Methodist Conference and other in
stitutions and movements that are
congenitally opposed to liquor, was
afraid only that his work would be
considered in, the light of a Sub
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29

In Mr.. Hussey's behalf it is but
fair to add that pilgrimage to six
teen bar-rooms, two breweries, Y.
NJ. c. A. secretary, the Association
Opposed to National Prohibition, the
Salvation Army, Hobo College, a
soda water fountain, a dignitary of
the Restaurateurs' Association, hat
checker, two Broadway palaces and
a bum in Madison Square will con-
vince any unprecedented mind that,
III the main, Mr.. Hussey is correct.
So far as New York is concerned
there isn't going to be any prohibi-
ton. 1t is the idle dream of the arid
brain. 1t shall not pass. 1t cannot.
Hence, why prepare for something
that will not be? Can one get out
of the wet before it rains? Let 'em
talk; let 'em rave. They claim pro-
hibition is going to come on July /.
Very we'll. This is June 20 only.
Why worry? That is the spirit the
casual visitor finds.
The writer, in drifting here and
there across and aslant New York,
found that apparently the only per-
sons who took prohibition seriously
were the prohibitionists. They were
serious. For that reason no ques-
ton that could be raised about the
effect of alphabetically dry nation
Or more particularly a bone-dry
New York-could be advanced more
than defensively and apologetically.
Yet in view of a static Congress
and wide-voyaging President, the
writer was interested to know what
would happen to the bartender in
the event that this profound meas
ure did pin the shoulders of personal
liberty to the mat. Clearly no one
would be more affected than the bar
keep. Other men would wake up
and find themselves without a drink
the bartender without a job. There

sure there would be any substitute.
The ''Serrice Station''
He is going about his work mod
estly, and when it takes shape it will
be in the form of "service station" 3"
This "service station" is to be To-
Gated on the upper West Side and
in building that once was a pict-
uresque and hardy saloon. The bar
will contain hot coffee and soft
drinks. In place of beer pumps there
will be coffee urns, and gas Jet fiXt-
ures will permit of steam tables that
will keep food warm for the strag-
Cling customers.
This secretary believes men like
coffee better than booze if it can be
served under equally advantageous
conditions. He knows a packing
company, one of the biggest in the
country. where the men now rush
a coffee growler,' having eschewed
beer.
In his scheme the back room of
the saloon, long a member in bad
standing, is to be transformed into a
reading and loafing room, with bill
lard and card tables-but no gam
bling upon them. Here the Victrola
becomes an expressive missionary
for the cause Of sobriety and the
cash register "bank" for the work
ingman. Over the bar jobs will be
talked instead of transgressed, and
everything will be done to make the
day laborer happy, with no oppres-
sive sense of being "uplifted."
"That is what we have to fight"
said the cheerful secretary. "Not
for a minute can we let our pro-
spective customer think we are trying
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29
a job that is plainly to the disadvan-
tage Of the bartender.

JOD CnaC IS plainly TO the d1Sadvan-
tage Of the bartender.
"Too true" said Mr.. Hussey.
He was frank to admit that he
did not know what would become of
the bartender. Here was a prince
of good fellows who had given the
best years of his life to trade, pro-
fession or art, as you will, that un-
fitted him for aught else. Who else
would have listened to so many
wrongs; who would have adjusted
so many rights? Who had stood
until he was literally afflicted with
flat feet giving ear to encyclo-
padias of enthusiastic misinforma-
ton; who had soothed the fevered
brow of the neurotic the morning
after and sped the passing souse on
his way? Who, indeed, if not the
bartender?

Real Water Wagon

"Did you ever know a drinking
man who, when he quit, turned to
sarsaparilla?" he asked. And then
he answered himself "Of course
not. He drinks water. This idea
that the soda fountain will benefit
by the excision of booze is falla-
cious"
The psychologist is not sure that
dry state will be any more than
theoretical success. In his studies
it is scarcely that. 1t is his opin-
ION that nine of ten men and women
who must have drink are emotional
detectives. This comes under the
head of psychoneurosis. 1t is his
experience when drink is deprived

The service station is going to be

lieves. 1t is typical of the work that
kindred organizations will try.

"Imagine" I answered.
"But what's going to become of

Opposed to National Prohibition and
the men in them if it does?" said
that incorrigible secondary con-
sciousness.
This wet and dry argument is far
more interminable than co,umnar
space. What is to become OF the
breweries? The "cocktail' hour?
The bctween-the-acts drink? The
$317, ,533,687 tax on spirits and the

resort to something worse which
experimental research proves they
do. Therefore, where are the bene-
fits of prohibition? Certainly they
do not rest with emotional detectives.
At length the investigator will
arrive at the headquarters of the
Association Opposed to National
Prohibition. The New York offices
of this organization are at 10 West
Forty-fourth Street. Here they are
fighting prohibition as "a blow at
the constitutional and individual
liberties of every citizen of the
United States" apart from any other
consideration, they say.

the City of New York will wake up
jobless on July 1, if by any chance,
as Mr.. Hussey insisted, this law
should go "inter feet"
AS for the bar fixtures, upward of
a million dollars worth of them
would be converted spontaneously
into junk. Mr.. Hussey admitted he
had read glowing stories of the soda
fountain and lunch counter uses that
could be rendered by the bar But,
somehow, he didn't believe them.

The ssDry'' Bar

There was the experiment of the
soft drink dispenser on Eighth Ave-
nue. near the Polo Grounds to re-
fute him. But still he couldn't be-
lieve. A regulation bar with soft
drinks would be like bronze statue
of Admiral Farragut stuffed with
sawdust, l inferred.
While the $1,000 bartenders and
the 5000 bars will have something
to think about if prohibition should
possibly prevail, they are not alone.
What is to become of the splendor-
Gus Broadway cafe and the whims
of the nocturnal palate?
1t is the opinion of Mr.. J. J. Cav
anaugh, president Of the Restaura-
teurs' Association, that it will be al
most an impossible assignment for
the cafes of Broadway to continue
their iridescent sway under the aus
pices Of dry administration.
