delegation has been informed in a
note from Premier Clemenceau that

HOTELMEN LOST
IN DOUBT OVER
BOOZE PROBLEM
Fear Congress Will Tie Will

Prohibition

Harrisburg hotelmen admitted to-
day that they are more at a loss
now than ever as to what is in fu-
ture for them with Congress at work
on bills designed to enforce "bone-
dry" prohibition after next Mon
day.
1t was admitted more or less
freely that some of the hotels had
planned to continue the sale of beer
after July 1 on the ground that it
is "nonintoxicating." Congress- at
titude, however, is such that many
saloonkeepers now are of the opin-
ion that legislation expressly pro
hibiting the sale of ~ per cent.
beverages will be passed before the
end of the month.
No celebration
While plans have been made in
many cities to usher in the
drought" with a boisterous well
come Monday evening, little or
nothing of this sort is planned here.
Several hotelmen are known to
have large stocks of liquors on
hand and the disposal of them is
a problem, it is said. Many hotel
keepers still are hoping that Presi-
dent Wilson will come to their res
cpe and rescind the wartime order.

GERMAN ENJOYS TO
SIGN ON SATURDAY
NAUGHTY HUN IS
FINED 1000 MARKS
By Associated Prcss.

Coblenz, June 26. - Captain
Bachhauser, assigned by the Ger
man army to duty in Coblens,
was fined 1000 marks yesterday
for refusing to salute an Amer
lean lieutenant. The captain
contended the war was over and
that, anyway, the regulations did
not call for his saluting an Off
Ger of lower rank. This is the
first instance of an action of this
kind since a definite turn was
taken in the peace situation.
American officers say that
after the Treaty of Peace is
signed the regulation issued last
December compelling German Of
ficers to salute will probably not
be enforced. Civilians generally
have seemed relieved as a result
of the action OF the German AS
sembly at Weimar in reference to
peace.
