Berlin. May T.-Amerieans in Ber-
lin no longer need TO be afraid in case
OF sudden illness OF being unable 10
obtain the highest class OF medical
attention because OF lack OF kno~i-
edge a the German language. The
American Chamber OF Commerce
here has completed the mobilization
OF English-speaking doctors IN the
city who will be available in such
emergencies,
The chamber has a full list of
such physicians and surgeons at
hand and in case OF request for as
sisianee from Americans Il has a
board OF five leading doctors in Ber-
lin TO whom all calls are referred.
When a member OF the board
answers a call and diagnoses the
case, he Is ready to &C, himself Il

ton with the patient. he will refer
the case to some specialist.
II the specialist does not speak
English. a member OF the board will

Fear Influx Of Gunner.
New York gunmen, migrating
from the east side, are believed by
the Bremerhavcn police to be using
that place as a port OF entry into
Germany and to be largely respon-
sible for the recent orgy OF lawless-
pess that has been gripping some
German seaports.
Each week, when some OF the
larger ships sailing for New York
are churning the waters Of the canal.
the propellcrs seldom fail TO bring
one or more bodies of seamen to
the surface. In many cases It IS be-
licved the men have fallen into the
canal while intoxicated as there were
no signs Of violence.
The American seamen themselves
are considerably involved in law
breaking. An outstanding instance
recently was that in early May when
Hugh Reilly of Chicago, from the
steamship America. committed sui
eide after shooting and killing a bar
maid.
Rector Favors Prohibition.
Mankind, allot yourselves couple
of non-alcoholic days each week" il
the motto which should be hung
up everywhere, according to Prof
Walter Nernst, rector OF the Uni.
versity OF Berlin, and a Nobel prize
winner. .'
DR.. Nernst voiced this opinion in
addressing the second annual Ger
man congress for the propagation
of prohibition among youths. He as
serted he thought young students
particularly liked to sing drinking
songs but that they did not drink
so much as is commonly assumed.
He called attention to great writers,
from Horace to Goethe, who have
sung the praises of alcohol but said
of late years, young students were
swinging to the other direction. He
said one no longer found the incli-
nation to drink solely for the sake
Of getting drunk and declared that
scholars had become the best allies
in the fight against alcohol.
Other speakers included educa-
tional and medical leaders in Ger
many, Austria and Czecho-S -Slovakia,
who emphasized the injurious effects
OF alcoholism from various stand
points.
Minister Of Justice Radbruch said
the government was taking lively
part in the campaign against al
cohol.
Prof. Tuczek, of the University Of
Marburg. citing American prohi-
bition as "a drastic remedy" de-
manded the restriction of the manu-
facture Of alcoholic liquors, the re-
striction Of licenses and the light
ening Of taxation on non-alcoholic
drinks.
