Washington, Aug. 11-Temporary
suspensions of the customs ban pro-
hibiting Intoxicating liquors which
are shipped from one foreign coun-
try to another to move across the

Mellon said, requiring the collector
of customs to continue to permit the
transportation and expectation en-
tries for liquors in bond, the treas
ury department has deemed it adj
visable temporarily to suspend its or
der regarding such shipments. Ac-
cordingly, until otherwise advised,
the collectors of customs will permit
intoxicating liquors shipped from d
foreign country to move over the ter
ritory of the United States when the
destination of such liquors is another
foreign country.

the unnecessary multiplication of
litigation, and in order that the i'm
portant questions involved may, if
possible be speedily and finally de-
termined by the courts

eign point of origin by way of this
country to a foreign destination were
held by former Attorney General
Palmer in an opinion to be in viola
ton of the prohibition laws After
hearing protests by Canadian ship

er committee proviso.

ton OF the bill that the War Finance
Corporation is now attempting to form

More Amendments
to Anti-Beer Measure

Washington, Aug. 17-Under an
agreement reached late today by
Senate and House conferees on the
Willis Campbell anti-beer bill the
House substitute for the Stanley
amendment adopted by the Senate
relating to searches and seizures
without warrants, was rewritten to
impose penalties on federal agents
who conduct searches without rea-
sonable cause" and who enter private
dwellings in search of liquor without
search warrants.
AS rewritten, conferees said to-
night, the amendment does not con-
tain the House provision limiting the
issue of search warrants covering
private residences to cases where
there is reason to believe that liquor
is being manufactured for sale or
sold on the premises.
All other Senate amendments were
retained.

The army is oh, so messy. So say
the boys of Co. F. of Augusta and

They have had their fingers ter

All this was because the men had
never before had their finger prints

posed to have the whorls at the tip

This little stunt ordinarily is done
at the time of enlistment, but it has
never before been done in Maine.

the administration and chairman
Lodge of the foreign relations COM

of the American delegates, gave his
colleagues some glimpses of the at

conference.
The outburst was short lived and

Further debate on the question was
assured, however, by presentation
for future consideration of a meas

senator Lodge ulO not express MS
views in regard to publicity, but he
did assert that in the negotiations
over disarmament itself he would
hold to the principle that the only
solution was "a general disarma-

work more earnestly for disarma-
ment than he. but that he would
hold to an mistaken conviction that
to insure success there must be
general reductions" all along the
line.
Later in the day the foreign rela-
