agents Throughout the country would
not attempt 10 stop the. sale of "a per

opugenr, a flar reversal of an earlier
ruling 10y the department, was due TO
1he uncertainty rs 10 how the Federal
District Court of New York might
rule on Il pending claim by brewers
that hocr containing that much alco-

But while Ibis uncertainty existed

How long lhc sale of pa per cent

d%inarily upon the speed of the courts,

Congressional leaders, it was said,

in order 10 put the bill through as
an emergency measure, and the whole

temporarily.
While the attorney generals staff
was wrestling with the question of

The judiciary committee sent to the

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, June 27.-With the crown
prince returned t Germany, supposed
ly to attempt the leadership of Il mill
tarist coup detat and with increasing
clashes between the popu!ace and
troops in Berlin and Hamburg, it is
feared that the upheayal p%rophesied
when Germany should sign the peace
treaty has already begun.
No definite word Of the crown
princes whereabouts, or of his plans,
has been received beyond the bare
of Holland and is again on German
soil. 1t is suggested that his flight
may have been merely to escape seiz-
ure and trial by the allies.
In Berlin many streets are barricad-
ed and there have been bitter engage
ments between the government troops
and mobs for the past several days.
Militarist circles in the German capital
discuss openly the plans for a counter
revolution, aimed to suppress the com
munist uprising, which apparently has
already been launched, and to place
the royalist- junker faction again in
power.
Armed resistance to the allies is
likewise being considered. Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg, in reply to a re-
concerning the allied rejection of Ger
man reservations in the peace treaty,
said that In the event of IA resunp-
ton of hostilities the Germans would
be able to reconquer Posen and main
tain the frontiers to the east, but
hardly would be able to reckon Oh
success in the west. The field mar
shall is said TO have added:
"A favorable issue to our operations
is, therefore, very doubtful, but as a
soldier, i must prefer an honorable
fall TO an ignominous peace"
A report from Berlin said that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg had resigned
from the chief command. Later dis
patches said that General GrOener had
succeeded him, but that Groener like
wis had resigned, but had agreed to
remain In command until the situation
had become tranquilized. Rebels are
in complete control OF Hamburg. q
news agency dispatch from Berlin re-
ported. General Won Lettow, the dis
patch added, has been ordered to crush
the revolt by force.
Washington. Confidential reports
that the former German crown prince,
and also probably the former emperor,
would attempt to re-enter Germany
after the signing of the peace treaty,
were received recently by government
officials here. This became known
after a dispatch telling Of the escape
Of the crown prince had been received
by government officials here.
The former German crown prince was
interned by the Dutch, government On
the Island of Wieringen, and IL be pre-
serves his status as a soldier the opin-
OF international Law authorities
here is that the Netherlands govern
ment may be held accountable by the
associated powers for his escape. Of
ficials said one effect of the escape
undoubtedly would be to cause the au-
thorities of Holland TO renew precau-
TO prevent the escape Of the for
mer emperor.

STORES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Berlin, June ri. The streets of Der
lin were scenes of rioting and plumber
ing last night and this morning. In
cited by speeches from agitaturs in
Alexander Platz, mobs attacked and
robbed pedestrians and maltreated iso-
lated soldiers. Troops sent to Alexan-
der platz were fired ON by crowds in

ings. They finally succeeded in clear
ing the streets.
Elsewhere in the city bands of ma
rauders robbed shops and attacked cit
izenS, rifling their pockets. The neigh
borhood of the Stettin railroad station
was notably disorderly. Street cars
were held up while rioters searched
the passengers pockets and stole wOm-
ems rings, Here, also, soldiers we're
beaten and shots were fired from roofs
and windows and the soldiers returned
the fire.
After daylight this morning the city
was q%uleter, but at moo the police APP
pealed for troops, as the crowds were
gathering nee more. Four thousand
workers in the shops across Gruene-
valid railroad had struck. Troops have
occupied the Goerlitz and Stettin sta
lions, which are still being used by the
public.
Hermann Mueller, the new foreign
minister, the Tageblatt says, has de
cllned Ia go 10 Versailles 10 sign the
peace treaty. Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, II is added, has resigned the
chief conmand of the army.
London.-president Ebert of Ger
many, Premier Bauer and all the min
listers have issued a proclamation TO
the German people, according TO a
wireless message from Berlin, IN

urging as the first pressing need the
bending of all efforts to its fulfill
ment. "As far as II Is possible 10
carry it out" says the proclamation,
