Colonel Harvey Will
 Maintain 'tDry" Embassy

London. July S.-A shudder of horror and dismay had just run through the American colony resident in London for it was reported that Colonel Harvey, the new Ambassa- dor had declared his embassy "dry, ," acting on the principle that it is technically American soil and, con sequently, amenable to the prohibi- tion act.
 But on inquiry it was ascertained that there is no truth in the report
 But there is no doubt, however, that the rumor created a painful inn pression, and the opinions aired by Americans at the clubs hinted that there was no need for Colonel liar vey to keep away the spirit, as well as the letter of the law
 The prospect of ice cream sundae5 banana splits and other "soft' drinks had reduced them to a spirit of un- utterable depression.
 But the Elm basSy was more cheer full :No other Embassy has gone dry" said an official, ''so I do not see why we should"
 Colonel Harvey'S secretary went one better and denied the report 'I have heard nothing about it," he said, ''So you may take it from me that there is no truth in the story"
 As far as MT. Harvey is concerned, however, it is understood that, not proposes to observe the custom of ''the land of the free" and be a dry Amba ssador.
 He has already given evidence of his Jeffersonian simplicity of char acter by driving around that famous Mecca of London society, Hyde Park. in a Ford Car and -a-to1h hat
