speaking before the national assem-

working also for it's revision. He adj
vocated the friendliest disposition to-

paving the way for an understanding

q Doctor Mueller favored noninterven-
ton in Russia and an effort to pro-
mote friendly relations with Poland
and Czecho-SlovalSia while not forget
ting Germany's former allies, Bull
Garia and Turkey.
Plea for the League.
The foreign minister entered
strong plea in favor of the league of
nations. He declared the German peo-
pie must devo e themselves to convinc-
ing a distrustful world of their I'M
shakable will to peace, so that the
policy of alliances, which precipitat-
ed the war, shall be buried forever.
= The age of secret diplomacy shall
be closed, but a league without Ger

factor with which its opponents would

Bauer Warns Against Revolt.
In addressing the assembly Gustav
Adolph Bauer, the premier alluding
to the recent strikes, warned the coun-
try against a hasty revolution which,
he. said, could only be a counter revo-
lotion, resulting in disaster. The pre-
r4fer admitted the great masses of the
people had ground for discomfort, and
said Il was the governments task to
remove any just reason for this. The
remedy, he said. was a law regulating
workers councils and economic coun-
oils. which the government would
draft.
a Specialization Policy.
The premier offered a long exposi-
ton of the governments policy which,
he said. was one of specialization.
1.-THE governments policy, he added,
also would be devoted to preventing
the superfluous importation of lux
uries and especially the exclusion of
al imports which would be likely I'M
fIvorably to influence the labor mar

BAVARIAN OFFICIALS KILLED
House Debating Bill
to Assure Farmer of
1925 for 1919 Wheat

Washington, Feb. 2l.-The
house remained in session until
a late hour tonight in an effort
to reach a vote on the bill pro-
viding means for the government
to carry out its guarantee Of $2.26
a bushel to the farmer for the
1919 wheat crop.
Objection to the bill was made
by both republican and demo-
cratic members because it does
not specifically provide that the
wheat be sold to the consumer at
the price determined by the law
of supply and demand.
After adopting amendments
changing from October IS, 1920,
to June /, 1920, the date on which
the government guarantee would
expire and give the president pow
er to prohibit imports of wheat
should unfair tactics be used in
trying to force down the price,
the house adjourned without
reaching a vote on the bill.

Ohio Going Dry as Michigan
Lays in New Stock of Booze
Search and Seizure Stopped
After Clause in PrOhibi-
ton Act Is Held Un-
constitutional.

Detroit, Feb. 2l.-A coup on the
part of Attorney General Alex J..
Groesbeck, designed to put an end
to the importation of enormous
quantities of liquor into dry Michi-
gan, begun late Tuesday when the
supreme court invalidated the
search and seizure section of the
state prohibition law, proved only
partially effective today.
After the attorney general had OBJ
tanned an injunction in the circuit
court at Monroe against the impor-
tation of liquor across the Ohio
Michigan boundary, with the inten-
ton of holding for contempt of
court any persons engaged in the
traffic, Col. Roy c. Vandercook,
commanding the state constabulary,
expressed the opinion that the writ
did not authorize search and seiz-
ure. He consequently instructed his
men not to attempt forcible search
or seizure, unless it was clearly
evident that liquor was being car
ried in large quantities with COM
mercial intent.
You will stop all cars" he in
structed his men, "and ask the oc-
cupants if they have liquor. If there
is no liquor in sight and they say
the have none or only small guam
tity, let them 60"
Traffic on the Detroit Toledo in
terurban system fell off sharply
with the issuance of the injunction,
but regained volume when word was
received of the later instructions.
