BY Failure Of Congress to
Make Appropriation.

Enforcement Of prohibition in the
United States will be practically sus-
pended for forty days beginning

The prohibition enforcement forces
throughout the country will be cut
down to just enough men to handle
the official correspondence. as q re-
suit Of the failure to obtain q def
cheney appropriation from Congress.
WORD GOES OUT.
y Word has been sent to all the en-
orcement directors throughout the

Kramer, that, owing to the state OF
