SPYING is DANGEROUS
FOR GERMAN SUBJECTS

BERLIN, Nov. 20, (By Interna.
tional News Service). although al.
lied officers may go where they
please in Germany and in a high
handed way demand information in
furtherance of the fulfillment Of the
Versailles treaty. it's thankless and
dangerous undertaking for German
citizens to engage in the spy bust
ness for the entente.
The Munich police have arrested
three young mechanics ranging be-
tween 10 and 81 years Of age on the
charge of high treason. The youths
are accused of having attempted to
sell information to the entente. One
of the defendants declared at the
preliminary hearing that he had been
informed that for information of the
type he was peddling the allied mis-
sions had been known to pay as
much as 100000 marks, and he didn't
know why he shouldn't also receive
some of the easy money.

DRY FORCES BUSY
WINNING MEXICO
Anti Alcohol Society Formed
by Women in Mexico
City.
BY LOUIS p. KIRBY,

MEXICO CITY. Mex, Nov. 3D.
Prohibitionists whose cause has
taken a fearful slump in Mexico, are
to receive the help of prominent
women in Mexico. An anti alcohol
society has been formed by the wo-
men here, and pans are on foot for
the organization of similar societies
in various parts of the country.
A few weeks ago it looked as
though prohibition had gained a
strong foothold in Mexico. Then it
was discovered that prohibition did
not mix we'll with Mexican politics.
When it was decided to close the
cantinas and other drinking places
there was approval in upper cir
cles," where there was conviction
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-11-23

that there should be less drinking
among the poems. Mvralists talked OF
the disappearance from the land OF
the Toltecs, in ancient Gays, because
OF the havoc wrought by puluue,
But when the cantlnas were orr
dered to close their doors from Sat
urday at noon until the following
Monday morning each week, the res
taurants and hotels were forbidden tG
sell liquors during the same weekly
dry" period. This brought protest
from upper circles" ene members OF
which rarely or never entered can
tinas, but profoundly enjoyed their
bottle of wine or cognac in more
refined surroundings.
The government would not venture
to favor the wealthy by modifying
the dry" regulations. 1t might have
meant revolution if the cantinas had
been kept closed on week ends and
the restaurants and hotels had been
permitted to remain wet"
The dry" regulations were impair
TALLY enforced, as far as anything
can be enforced impartially in Mex
leo, but the, wet" pressure was so
strong that there was a sudden re-
turn to the old system, and all
drinking places remain open now
throughout the week.
