GERMANY TO PASS
LAW TO BAR RUSS

Berlin, Tuesday, March 11.-(By

lister of finance. it is understood,
will recommend to the German ma
tional assembly the immediate en-
actment of a law barring the Rus

many and prohibiting any traffic
in it.
The influx of Russian currency
which began in an astonishing
manner with the advent os Adolph
Joffre, the Bolsheviski ambassador
to Germany in Berlin last summer,
has been a constant source of an
noyance in circles keenly alive to
the Bolsheviki menace. Long after
NJ. Joffre and his sttaff of Bolshe-
vik agents were usurped out of
Germany, Russian paper money
continued to reach BerIIn across
the frontier. 1t was spent for am
munition provided for tho sparta

SUIT is BEGUN
IN NEW YORK TO
TEST DRY
Constitutionality War
Time Prohibition
Act Attacked.

New York, March 15.-Prelim-
mary action toward testing the
constitutionality of the war time
prohibition act was taken in the
filing here today of a stockholders
suit in the federal court against
the James Everard breweries.
The complainant, Joseph f. Fv-
erard. asked the court for an ore r
restraining the defendant from
suspending its manufacturing ac-
tivities on July l next, and its
sales being discontinued.
The complaint alleged that the
emergency prohibition clause of
the agricultural bill adopted Nov.
21, 1918, is unconstitutional as a
measure intended to safeguard the
national security and defense, the
armistice having been signed, hos
tilities ceased and orders given
preliminary to reduction of the
military forces before that date.
The complaint drawn with Elihu
Root as chief counsel, alleged that
when President Wilson proclaimed
the armiStice declaring the war
thus comes to ar end" directed ces-
sation of inductions into the army
under the Selective service act ard
announced plans for restoration Ct
normal peace conditions, there was
no emergency, military or other
wise calling for prohibition of the
use of grains, cereals, fruits or
other food products in the manu-
facture of beer or wines; or for
the sale of such products
in order to conserve the nations
man power and carry on the war.
The prohibitions, it is charged,
were unnecessary and wholly with
out any power conferred on con-
gress by the constitution.
The suit also attacks the regu-
lation of the internal revenue de-
partment restricting the manufac-
ture of near beer" prior to May l
products not exceeding 2A per cent
in alcoholic contents, with a reduC-
ton to one-half of L per cent when
the commodity is offered for sale
and consumption; and limiting the
alcoholic content of all brewed bev-
erages after May l, to l per cent.
