Millions in Seized Liquors.

Not the least Of the problems faced
by the New York police force in car

hibition act is that Of storing the
liquor and wines seized in raids. Since
the state law was passed requiring the
police to act as enforcement agents
beverages valued at about $1,000. 900
have been taken. There being no reg
ularly equipped storage warehouse for
wet goods, an old police station on the
East Side, which was abandoned about
two months ago as unsuitable, was
utilized. Day by day the wet goods
were hauled there and packed away

The I. W. W. Fugitives.'

Yesterday in the federal circuit
court of appeals at Chicago the bonds
Of eigh. /. w. W's, who failed to turn
up for their sentences at Leavenworth
the other day, were declared forfeited.
The bond of William Haywood, how
ever, was not forfeited. because the
district attorney said he expected to
hear from the fugitive. Haywood is
reported to be in Moscow in the serv.
ice Of the soviet government. If so there
rs no way to secure his extradition, as
the United States has no relations with
that government. II Haywood returns
it will be Of his own volition. He has
been bitterly denounced by some of
his l. W. w. collea gues who have de-
clared that he has queered them and
their cause by his flight. On the other
hand, some Of the others have asserted
that he is contributing to the cause
by his flight and work in Russia. Be
that as it may, he is on the books Of
this government as a fugitive from
justice. The intimation by the district
attorney that he expects to hear from
Haywood may mean that Big Bill
has not actually gone to Russia, but
is in hiding in this country and that
negotiations are pending for his sur
render. Public sentiment swings be-
tween hope that he will be caught and
made TO serve his term and hope that
he has actually gone to Russia, where
it is quite possible he will be punished
far more severely than he could ever
be at Leavenworth.

No Aid or Comfort Here.

There can be no comfort for Germany
in the note sent by Secretary Hughes
through the American commissioner
at Berlin to DIR. Simons. the German
foreign minister. 1t is brief. explicit
and altogether satisfactory from Amer
lean and allied points OF view. 1t
states that this government finds
itself unable to reach the conclusion
that the (German proposals afford a
basis for discussion acceptable to the
allied governments, and that these
proposals cannot be entertained
1t is to be noted that this does not
state that the United Staes has sub
mitted the proposals to the allied gov
ernments. Total responsibility for the
decision that the proposals are made
quate is accepted by this government.
We do not say that We have rendered
the German offer and found it mac
ceptable. Officially, according to this
note. it has never gone beyond the
State Department. This fact is Of inn
portance as bearing on the German
attitude. For it was reported that
much was hoped at Berlin from the
overture to enlist the United States as
intermediary.
But the note does not end with this
statement. 1t goes further and in un-
mistakable terms declines to be the
medium Of further communication,
saying:
This government. therefore, again
expressing its earnest desire for a
prompt settlement of this vital ques-
tion. strongly urges the German gov
ernment mt once to make directly to
the allied governments clear, definite
and adequate proposals which would
in all respects meet it's ObligntiOns.' -
In short, the United States, itself
adjudging the German proposal made
quate, notifies Germany that it should
promptly comply directly with the re-
quirements of the allies.
There is no attempt to weigh the re-
spective plans of reparations. that Of
the allies and that of the Germans
Secretary Hughes does not venture
into the boggy ground Of disputation
oh bi the TWO pro-
posals. Germany has come across the
sea with compromise tender. Ac.
cording to the records the State De-
partment has taken it under careful
consideration and has reached the
conclusion that it is not fair meet
ing of German obligations. This gov
ernment thereupon rejects it as un-
worthy of transmission to the allied
governments and in effect tells Ger
many that its next move should be a
prompt, full meeting of the allied de-
mands.
Germany is now under a twelve day
