"a ready to give further guarantees

from across the Rhine.
Freiherr Edmund Won Thermann,

and ultimately to become its coun.
seIlor. expressed this as his bellef

Thermann's view.
Don't Answer BRAND.
The new German representative
"a young cleancut man OF Saxon
Thuringian stock, bearing no duel
cuts or other earmarks which the
North German affects-made 1t
clear he could not and would not
answer Premier Brands statement
about Germany. His remarks anent
guarantees came only after long
persistent questioning when he was
asked if be agreed with the similar
guarantee views of Herr Georg
Bernhard, editor-in-chief of the
Yossische Zeitung, Berlin.
IF the French people think 1t
would be possible to avoid any
danger of future war between
France and Germany by giving
guarantees, the German govern
ment, l believe would be ready"
he said, ito give any further guar
antees possible to any international
tribunal as a sign of its good faith
and peaceful intentions"
Would Avoid propaganda"
Thermann said he wanted to
!, avoid anything that might be taken
as German propaganda" in this
country and specifically wanted TO
steer clear Of a controversy with
BRAND. Tell me how Germany
regards Ludendorff quite apart
from any remarks BRAND made
about him?" the questioner asked.
L Ludendorff," Thermann replied,
has no influence upon the govern
ment or on the people. He scarcely
cares go to Berlin. and because he

said the speaker In recalling a pre-
yious mission In this city.
We stand for the suppression OF
The liquor traffic. The wet forces have
never realized the sentiment sweep
ing over the country. Many are of
the opinion that Nolstcad was the
cause OF II all. That il not truc--it
was the moral forces OF America"
Ii was then explained that JIG or
carnations have been started and are
working through politics to fight
prohibition and that the liquor in
torests are paying nc respect to the
constitution of the United states. The
liquor interests. II was declared, are
making every effort to nullity the
amendment through politics.
However," continued DIR. Colvin,
they shall never be successful. The
Eighteenth Amendment IL the highest
expression of moral sentiment OF its
of the land. on which the moral well
tarc OF the nation depends
The liquor interests are trying 10
keep the question in the background
but I'm the meantime they are secretly
at work. The moral forces must as
sert themselves and head off the pro-
posed program"
At this iuncture the speaker assail-
I'D tho present form of national ant
municipal government. lie declatet
that in three-fourths of the cities
he had visited many municipal officers
were "boozers." At Dover. he said
he was surprised to find that man,
Of the members of the old wet ganl
