LOAN TOPOLES
Secretary Houston Says No
Application Has Been Made
for Financial Aid.

Whatever aid the United states may
extend to Poland. II will not include
loans by the United States Govern
ment, IL was indicated today. secre'
tary OF the Tresury Houston stated
that so far no representations have
TO financial aid.
Polish representatives have appeal
ed for certain materials and supplies
which could not be furnished from this
country, II was said. The Brussels
financial conference. at which the
Eastern situation. including Polands
condition. might have been taken up,
has again been indefinitely postponed
and officials here are frankly
puzzled as to what steps they might
be called on to take, or what prepara-
tlons this country might be expected
to make for participating In the con-
ference. Whether the conference was
postponed because OF the critical turn
OF affairs In Eastern Europe, or be-
cause. as rumored, OF the absence OF
United States representatives Is not
clear here. IL was stated.
II was indicated that the United
States expects the initiative to be
taken on the other side OF the water.
and will follow that initiative with
the appointment of agents to repre-
sent this country.
The general condition OF the princi.
pal European countries, Secretary
Houston said. appears much more
favorable than II did not long ago,
leaving aside the conditions in Poland.
Secretary Houston pointed out that
these countries appear to be putting
themselves on a much sounder basis
generally and that conditions might
ordinarily be expected to continue to
improve.
Reports that financial statements
from the various countries represent
ed at the Brussels conferences, are
met with the statement from Secre-
tary Houston that this country's out
look Is much more favorable.
He stated that further liquidations
can be looked for from now on, and
pointed out that the tendency has
been lately to keep the pressure on
credits more nearly normal.
That can be regarded as healthy
sign" he said. '"Of course. there will
be seasonal demand for heavy cred
its due to crop movements, but that
is normal. and. should be met. 1t IL
the constant pressure at all times
that must be take ncare of, and /
feel that this pressure is being gradu-
ally brought to normal"

America Can Do But Little to

BERLIN, Aug G.-"German must
help herself" says Henry p. Runkel.
Chicago business man and politician
who has just completed a tour OF
Germany on behalf of leading Ger
man-Americans of the Middle West.
America cannot save Germany,
and can do but little to help her. Ger
many must be her own salvation.
Conditions in general. and especially
food conditions. are improving COM
pared with what l found when l ar
rived here in March.
There is unlimited profteering,
Merchants are charging as IL they
believe the mark is still 100 to the
dollar. Italian oranges cost marks
in Munich three months ago. Al
though they are being imported for
one-third the former price, the retail
price hasn't dropped pfenniG.
This situation will not change un-
til the German newspapers educate
the people to protect themselves from
the profteers. A orty-eight-hour
boycott of fruit dealers in Munich
cut the price of cherries in half, and
yet the merchants were selling at n
profit. But the newspapers are gen
orally so intent on party political
propaganda that they have but little
time or thought for educating the
people to protect themselves against
the proftccrs."

Whatever natural inclinations the
Bavarians had to cut loose from Prus-

startling feature OF prohibition en-
forcement here became known last
night, when Police Commissioner
Charles d. Gather said that 800 com
plants OF alleged violation OF the
Volstead act are held at police head
quarters. These complaints have been
received by General Gather during
the last six weeks.
Action on the complaints has been
delayed pending the opinion given by
Attorney General Armstrong yester-
day that 1t was not the duty OF the
city police to enforce the Volstead
act General Gather has held this
opinion all along.
The complaints will not be sent to
police captains for investigation. They
will be sent to the Prohibition En-
forcement Bureau. General Gather
said that most of the complaints are
anonymous,
Requests received from prohibit ion
officers for city police aid will be con-
| sidered and granted when possible
and protection will be afforded Fed
eral officials by the city policemen in
the performance OF their duty"
General Gather said that as soon
as he has time to study the ruling of
Armstrong he will issue general
order to the police force by which it
will be guided in future police ac-
tivity.

WHOLESALE LIQUOR
DEALERS INCREASE
Gain in Number is Puzzle to
Authorities, Who Will Shut
Down on Withdrawals.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 6.-Wholesale le
liquor dealers have increased in num-
Der since the Volstead act went into
effect. Such was the statement yes
terday OF Prohibition Director Rich
ard S. Dodson, who has received word
from Washington to shut down tight
iy on Withdrawals OF liquor from
bond. -'..r,
Director Dodson cannot under
stand the reason or the necessity for
the increase In the number of whole
sale liquor dealers when II is now
illegal to deal in practically anything
stimulating except sacramental wine.
In regard to sacrameptale wine. he
said that one man recently made the
request for a permit to handle 40 1000
gallons of sacramentai wine each
three months. or 10000 gallons n
wear. He said he regarded this re-
quest as excessive.
Federal Prohibition Commissioner r
John +. Kramer has given Director
Dcdson instructions to give no per-
mits for withdrawal Of large quanti-
ties of 1iquor from bond, or for deal
ing in large quantities OF liquor.
Dodson said that these instructions
were given to all the directors and
that the purpose was to check the
possible abuse of the permit privi-
lege.
"The instructions will not be in
terpreted so strictly az to cause any
suffering or injustice" Dodson said,
but are expected to break up illegal
Wholesale traffic in liquoI"
This action of the prohibition COM
missioner was not caused, Dodsoh
believes, by the traffic between Bal
timore and New York. but by general
conditions. The proof of this was in
the fact that 100000 gallons Of the
total bonded warehouse supply OF
GO. .OOO, 900 gallons of whisky had been
released from bond since January IT,
Two men, Harry Il. Kaylin. of New
York, and Frank Il. Rodgers, 1126
Battery avenue. were released on 5000
bail each by United states Commits
sioner Supplee for the Federal grand
jury on the charge OF Illegal trans
portation of liquor.
1t is alleged Kaylin had a permit
to take 100 cases of whisky from the
Roxbury Distillery for transporta-
ticn. to New York, and he and Rodgers
took II to Wade Point, on the Pa
tapsco river, instead.

said to a reporter for the New York
American:
Il am the happiest man in the

Mr.. Barrymore's expression seemed

from the nervous affection which
forced him to abandon the stage tenn

In attempting to describe what his
bride wore during the ceremony, Mr.
Barrymore looked serious and then
exclaimed:
I'll be hanged II I can tell you
All can say is that she looked just
wonderful-as she always does"
Mrs. Barrymore, as Blanch Oelrich
a young debutante, gave society its
first surprise when she abandoned q
brilliant social career to devote her
talents to the composition of verse
1t was in the midst of her career as
an author that she fell in love with
Leonard Thomas, of Philadelphia, and
married him. He was the son OF
Charles Thomas, of that city. Helleu
the French artist, called the then Mrs
Thomas the most beautiful woman
in the United States"
Mr.. Barrymore's former marriage
was contracted while he was appear

He astonished his friends by an
nouncing himself welded to the

match by the family of the bride and
