Rev. F. H. Ambrose.
Gave Address Or
| Popular Amusements

In his rmo on Popular An,use-
ments' last night. Rev. r. Halsey
Ambrose did not take a stand against
amusements but rather condemned a
wrong and excessive use of them.
Cards, dancing and shows were the
the course of his talk. Cards are
played usually for a stake, not FOR
money, it is true, but for a prize. he
said. Many people devote altogether
too much time tt them and are>kept
from doing things worth while on that
account. There is no objection to
playing cards, Mr.. Ambrose said, but
when they begin to demand too much
attention they should be left alone.
The same was said to be. true of dane
ing; it was carried TO exc~es.s In this
connection, he ridiculed the bunny
hug and clingjng-vine dances. In
speaking of shows, he said that good
shows do good but there are few of
them. Again the habit of Excess was
condemned, 7 =,

school, was arrested by federal au-
thorities today charged with manu-
featuring liquor at his home, num-
Der s Marlboro street, in the back

with five gallons Of moonshine whis-
key described as an excellent pro-
duct. Fifty gallons of mash was de-
stroyed by the officers. At the re-
quest of Shaw, they said, the still
was carried out through a rear door
and taken away in a taxicab.
A summons was served on Shaw
for appearance at the federal build
ing where a warrant was served on
him and he was a~rraigned. He plead
ed not guilty and was released on
$500 cash bail, a hearing being set
for May 6. The agents described the
still as one of the finest that had
come to their attention. 1t consisted
they said, Of a copper boiler with a
ten foot coil and galvanized conden-
ser. They YER told, they said, that
the liquor was frequently served at

FRENCH AND BRITISH
COME TO AGREEMENT
Continued Frolns5Rage one)

could not agree to a blockade which
would bring the allies into con-
troversy with the United States. M.
BRAND agreed to this point Of view.
He added that the course Of the
United States had been absolutely
correct.
Uneasiness still exists among the
French delegates over the possibil-
Zity that Washington may 2endeavor
% mediate; they. declare this would
not be acceptable to them. The cause
of this impression is not clear, but
some Of the delegates have made it
understood that it does not originate
with the French ambassador, M. jus
serand.
NJ. BRAND and the whole French
delegation are sitting late tonight
with General Nollet,. president Of the
interallied commission, who was sum
moned BY the French premier from
Berlin ia. give his views. Notwith4
standing the agreement the French
are not entirely satisfied with today's
Developments and the idea of an ul-
t;matum, which is believed to have
been largely due to the influence
Of tho British ambassador to Ger
many, Lard D'Abernon. M. BRAND
was syerse TO delay, and it is re-
ported that he had under taken that,
failing Germany's compliance, some
move should be made! today.
Indeed the French premier had de-
clared before the meeting Of the
council: IT am decided upon the COM
mencement of new penalties from TO-
day, I mean By this that the neces-
sary order for mobilization will be
given this evening. such is my
position. I can not act otherwise"
