for action. denied statements which,
he said had appeared in rewspa pers,
accusing him Of simply attempting TO
heckle the department of prohibition.

is sweeping over Germany is swelling
hourly. Premier Millerand's declara-
ton that the demands for the extra

The situation is not unlike that
which followed the publication of the
peace terms last spring, but in many

The conviction is growing that France
is deliberately planning the fall of
the present German government with
the hope that the political unity of
Germany may be destroyed in the
choas that will follow and thus de-

in the future which is the nightmare
