Liquor Imported
by Foreign ENJOYS
Not to Be Touched

Washington. Oct. %. (By the Assoc
ciated Pressl-The customs service
today receded from its position with
respect to the importation of liquor
by diplomatic representatives OF for
eign countries.
eniciais Of the service said that not
only could the Diplomats themselves
bring liquor into the country. but that
liquor consigned to them on shipment
would have to be admitted. Such con-
signmerts to diplomats already in the
country, however, can be removed
from the port only by a diplomat or
a member of his household. II was
held.
Conflict in the laws renders the
customs service poweriess to carry
out the provisions of the prohibition
enforcement, act as far as foreign
representatives are concerned, om-
Gals said. The enforcement act pro-
hibits the holding of the person o.
belongings of a representative OF
foreign country.
Customs officials still insist. how
ever, that foreign representatives
bringing liquor into the country are
violating the law. and they declare
that where the fact of such impor-
tations is known the only recourse for
them is to make q report of the case
to the State Department which they
added, is charged with the duty OF
handling violations Of the law by for
eign ENJOYS who are immune from
civil action.
The State Department has publicly
protested against the interference
with the baggage of diplomats and II
il believed that the new ruling by the
treasury department will close the in
cident which for a time threatened to
result in a row between the depart
ments.

FeudaI Days in New China

And so. after eight years of the
Republic. China has come to con-
diuon OF affairs which causes most of
her people TO sigh for the compare
lively honest days of the Empress
Dowager. Neither of the sO.called
governments of the North and the
South makes any attempt to govern.
Education, WHICH was to be the Re-
public's first care. is now either COM
pletely neglected or left to the initi-
alive of public spirited scholars and
local gentry With the exception of
the Customs. Post-Office. and Salt
revenues COLLECTED under the super
vision of foreigners). which form the
security for China's foreign debts,
the central government draws little
or no money from the provinces. As
regards such internal matters as the
administration of Justice, regulation
Of trade, opium growing and military
equipment. each province goes its in
dependent way, either asserting COM
plete rights of autonomy or main
tanning polite relations with the
capital, as each governor may think
fit The Northern provinces. whose
governors support the nominal
authority of Picking. in return for
subsidies in cash. are to a certain
extent united against the Southern
Tuchuns; that Is to say, they would
join forces 10 prevent the Cantonese
clique from ousting and replacing
Tuan and his friends. But neither in
the North nor in the south does there
exist anything like real cohesion in
the ranks of the forces which are
supposed TO be at civil war. The
only constant and conspicuous
feature OF the situation lies in the in
cessant intrigues OF one Tuchpn
against another.-From Civil War as
