5s8 CASES OF WHISKEY
 STOLEN IN NEWARK, N. J.

Newark, N. J., Nov. 14-A band of Whiskey thieves, believed by the police to number twenty-five or more, early today broke open two freight cars in the South Broad street railroad yards here and stole 5SS cases of whiskey and forty-four barrels of alcohol. The whiskey is valued at S32,34t and the alcohol at $35, 200 The loot was carried off in motor trucks after a railroad policeman had been kidnapped
 The robbers had emptied two freight cars and were breaking into the third car when the police surprised them. The police feared to open fire on the robbers in the darkness lest they might wound one another, and in the delay that fol- lowed the thieves escaped.
 Two trucks filled with plunder were recovered. One contained twenty-three cases of whiskey and the other twenty- three barrels of alcohol
 The barrels of whiskey recovered bore labels of the American DistilIing con- pany, Pekin H.
 The thieves apparently began work about 2SO a. m, when five men in a touring car asked Patrolman James Greg ofy or the Pennsylvania railroad the way to Atlantic City. While one robber talk ed with him the others left the car. an preached him from behind and suddenly pressing revolvers against his body order ed him to get into the machine. They sped away, passing through Elizabeth. Springfield, Morristown and Bernardsville and at a. m. the car was stopped. The policeman then was blindfolded and put off the car with orders not to remove inc covering from his eyes until the machine was out of hearing.
 He discovered he was in the town of Singac, N. J., and quickly telephoned to the New Jersey Central railroad police.
 About 10 a. m. an engineer on a yard engine, while backing through the South Broad street yards, saw five men tamper- ing with a freight car and motor truck partly loaded, near by He stopped the locomotive and as he did, so the robbers inquired Want some wfiskey?" where upon a case of liquor was placed on the engine. The engineer reported the occur renee to the police at Elizabeth and re- serves were rushed to the yards. A dozen detectives also were despatched from Jersey City police headquarters
 One of the abandoned trucks was iden- tif1ed as the property of E. P. Johnson of Newark, who told the police it had been i stolen from in front of his garage last night The other is owned by an express company, an employe of which is missing the police say.

How the Volstead Enforce ment Act is Working Out in New York City-Com- plaint From Restaurateurs.

New York, Nov. 14.-Failure of the internal revenue department to grant permits to use alcoholic liquors for cook Ing purposes has removed from the me- nus ot the restaurants, hotels and clubs
 some Of the most popular and delicious dishes. William H. Hirst counsel for the Society of Restaurateurs of New York declared in letter to Federal Pro- hlbltlon Kramer, made public here to- day.
 Declaring the ruling of the supreme court Tn the Street case re-opens the question of the authority of and correct ness of rulings of the commissioner of lnternal revenue, MT. Hirst urges that applications for these permits now have the prompt attention of the internal reve- nue collectors The supreme court. he asserted, has pointed out that the pro- hibltions of the eighteenth amendment run specifically against intoxicating li, quors" when used for beverage pur- poses," meaning that there is no inhi- bition for the use of such liquors for cooking. purposes
 Whatever the diviison of opinion as to the justification of necessity for the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act, the letter said, it seems to be gen. erally reported and understood that the kind of traffic and the kind of liquors which it has the inter [ >n to prohibit have not been prohiD.Aed while the rights and privileges which were allowed by the 18th amendment are absolutely denled. Whiskey and other highly al- coloholic spirituous liqusrs are being freely trafticked in while innocuous and misunderstanding light wines and beer have been practically swept from the market"

NEW YORK TRANSFERS
 VOTE NOT TO STRIKE

New York, Nov. 14.-Five local unions of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Truckmen today voted not to strike to enforce demands they had made for a wage increase of one dollar a day.
 T he men voted to accept the agreement offered by the wage seal committee of the Merchant Truckmens Association, which provides that overtime be paid for by the minutes instead of the hour and that the men receive full pay for one hol- iday only in a week. The agreement is effective from November 1.
 Negotiations between representatives of the union and the truck owners have been in progress for some time. The owners urged the men to remain at work on the grounds that economic conditions did not warrant increased wages and a strike would cause serious losses in New York city as well as unemployment.

RUMoRs THAT HARDING MAY
 RECALL ARMY FROM RHINE

Coblenz, Nov. 13.-Rumors that Tresf- dent-elect Harding's administration may recall the American army of occupation from the Rhineland are lot interfering wit hactivities of the American colony ot 10000 centering at Coblenz
 The troops are completing their fall manoeuHers in the vicinity of Kaisersech where daily battles with live ammunition are being held, demonstrating in action the intensive training for actual modern warfare which new troops have had throughout the summer.
 The Rhine valley resounds with the cannonading of .75 centimetre and onu pound guns, which are being used with percussion shells as a screen for infantry advances against the wooded hills ia which are scattered targets representing the imaginary enemy The troops are using machine guns, Browning rifles and service rifles in their attacks.
 The tremendous government reserva. tions in the rugged hills afford the Ameri- cans a finer opportunity for war manoeu- yers than eyer was enjoyed by American troops and Major General Aliens forces are making the most of their unusual ad. vantaSes to accustom themselves to the use of live ammunition under conditions where the results of their bombardlnent are visible as in actual battle
 General Schotbach, commander fo the Swiss army, and many other foreign of cers are observing the manoeuvers,. de-
 voting special attention to the artillery
 work.
 The suggestion that thesAmericans may
 be withdrawn seems distasteful to the German natives, who apparently prefer the Yankees to any other force of occu- patton, and wish them to remain as long as any foreigners are occupying German territory. General Allen and the Ameri-
 cans on the Rhineland commission occupy the positio nof referees and are generally acknowledged as liaisons who smooth out the many difficulties arising between the more vitally interested nations
 Speculation is rife as to what nation will send troops of occupation to Coblenz i in the event the Americans are with drawn. Neither the British nor the l French desire to have the Rhineland com mission headquarters located in their
 areas and consequently Coblenz was se- 1 lected. although it is small city with | inadequate housing.
 i The German population is especially hostile to French and the Belgians and 1 express q preference for British troops ir i the event the Americans are withdrawn | Coblenz has been thoroughly American. i ized and her tradespeoDle who hayt adapted their shops to serve the dough. boys" are greatly aiarmel over the pros pect of losing the patronage of the well. paid Americans.
 Most of the soldiers in the army Of oc cupation enlisted for three years and few 1 of them seem 10 feel that they will be withdrawn. The order prohibitinc sol ! diers from marrying German women nc ] longer is effective, but men who tax, l German wives now are sent to America i on the first available transport from Ant. l Werp
