Bedouins File Protest
Against Corsscriptior
Deputations Ask Definition of
Status Under the New Egyp-
tian Coustitg1fiOn

LONDON, Sept. (By MaiD Fear
Of conscription into the military serv-
ice from which they always have been
exempt, writes the Cairo correspond
ent of "'rhe Times" brought several
deputations of Bedouins, considerable
numbers Of whom dwell in the Riverain
area and the desert, to wait on Sarwat
Pasha, the Egyptian Prime Minister,
in order to discuss their status un-
particularly exercised by the recon-
mendation of the constitution commits
sion that military service should be
obligatory upon all Egyptians which,
if accepted, will render the Bedouins
liableto conscription.
SO far the Bedouins have been ex-
emtp and the deputations sought to
persuade Sarwat Pasha not to accent
the recommendation and to confirm
their freedom, which, they claim, was
conferred on them at the time of Me-
hemet Ali
It's very doubtful whether they will
entirely succeed, ac conditions have
materially changed during the last hun
dred years century ago the major
lty of the Beduin were nomadic, and
the exemption was granted in return
for their undertaking to protect the
frontiers. To-day large numbers of
Bedouins own land and live in and
around the large towns, and enjoy all
the benefits of civilized citizenship.
While, therefore, in those cases
where the nomads still cooperate IN
frontier protection continuation Of
the exemption from conscription will
perhaps be justfable, it appears only
equitable that the non-nomads should
now be made to bear the same civic
obligations as the people mongst whom
they have taken up ther abode, and the
problem will most probably be finally
settled in this sense.

British Accuse Germans
OF Dumping Potatoes

LONDON, Aug. 30 (By MaiD. -
Potato dumping is the latest accusation
made against Germany by tariff re
formers, who for some time have been
clamo.ing for the imposition of higher
duties against imports from Germany.
Not long ago British farmers were get
ting from $40 TO e1S d ton for their
potatoes Now they find them drug
in the market at prices as low as s2.
"Thc explanation Of this fall" says
one authority, "is wholesale dumping
by German and Dutch growers. The
German government, before and dur
ing the war, stimulated the potatoes in
order TO provide reserve of food and
also for the distillation' Of alcohol.
This overplus has been thrown or the
British market, the only one which
will admit it without heavy duties, and
it has been sold for what it will fetch.
AS result the unfortunate British
farmer is being reduced to something
very near despair, and in some cases is
refusing to market his crop

Germans Treble Opera
Prices for Foreigners
Berlin Managers Will Add to
Profits Despite Peace
Treaty Terms

LONDON, August 25 (By Mail).- In
future foreigners must pay for seats
at the Berlin Opera three times as
much as natives, reports the Berlin
spondent of "The Daily Tele-
graph"
The administration of the opera,
which is depa rtment of the Prussian
government, is, however going to work
South German State theaters where
similar differentiations have already
been introduced.
No doubt, with an eye to the peace
treaty, which forbids Germany to sub
ject the nationals of Allied and As
sociated Powers to amy charge, tax,
or impost direct or indirect, other or
higher than those which may be i'm
posed on her own nationals" the Ber-
lin Opera will make its exception
nominally not to fleece the foreigner
but to benefit the native. The nominal
prices will be trebled, and any one who
can prove himself to be a German or an
Austrian will be allowed reduction
of two-thirds.
In doing this the Opera will be fol-
lowing the example of numerous Berlin
tradesmen, who long ago adopted the
custom of pricing their stock for the
foreigner and taking off substantial
percentage in favor Of the German.

Only 1000 Taxis
Out of $4,000 Here
Reported Bonded
Inability of City Officials TO
Enforce Law lis Given
as Reason for The Cam
collation. of Many Policies

Through the inability of the city
ing law, 1900 of the $4,000 taxis in
the city are without this insurance.
These are the figures given out by the
local authorities Of the state motor
vehicle Office, at Broadway and Sixty
fifth Street,
They declare that the largest num-
ber of drivers who had complied with
the law at any one time was 5000, or
and that recently, through the recog-
milton by the drivers that the law is
not being enforced, this number has
dropped to 1000.
This means there are extremely few
public cars in which ii person may ride
in the city with the assurance that
damages may be collected in case of
accident. According to state officials,
policies are being Cancelled every day,
either by the taxi owners themselves
or by the insurance companies, who
give as their excuse that the owners
are not paying the premiums.
District Attorney Banton said yester-
day he would prosecute any case of
violation Of the law which came 20 his
attention, but said that he would
have to depend on getting the com
plants from aggrieved citizens who
took it upon themselves to ask the
drivers if they had taken out their
bond. He declared that if the police
tried to stop every taxi to investigate
the matter they would have no time
for anything else. The same opinion
is held by Commissioner Enright, who
added that the police force is under
manned as 1t is.
One of the officers of the taxi
drivers association, however, believes
that should five policemen be stationed
at Broadway and Forty second Street,
where 80 per cent of the taxs pass
every day. with orders to stop and
question every driver, the law could be
enforced

Draws Hyian Fire
Well Eliminate These Men,
Who Sometimes Circu-
late i'm So-Called High So
ciety,' Mayor Tells Chiefs

Mayor Hylan told nearly 500 dele
gates to the international Police Con-
ference, in welcoming them at City
Hall yesterday, that the greatest diff
culties of his administration, and that
Of Police Commissioner Enright, were
due to propaganda directed against
them. <
After reiterating statements made
at q Police Department dinner given
the visitors Thursday evening. to the
effect that certain newspapers are
constantly engaged in vilifying him
and Commissioner Enright, the Mayor
added:
"Men wearing good clothes stand
about the streets and spread propa-
ganda. Sometimes they are men who
circulate in so-called high society. In
time we will eliminate them.
II am glad you men are cooperating
to eliminate the international crilnina.
We have international criminals an.
we have international bankers. They
all make trouble in the world You
will eliminate the international Grim
inal and maybe some day the United
States government will eliminate the
higher class criminal who makes
trouble in the world"
After assembling yesterday at the
Waldorf Astoria delegates to the con-
ference were embarked in sightseeing
busses and conveyed to Police Head
quarters, where they examined the mo-
ton picture targets used in revolver
practice by New York City police.
Commissioner Enright announced
that the annual police prize. q $1,000
trophy donated by Colonel Walter Scott
of Butler Brothers, will be conferred
on the police official making the most
meritorious suggestion each year.
The annual memorial service of the
New York Police Department will be
held this afternoon at q o'clock in St.
Patrick's Cathedral. All visiting Off
cials have been invited to attend.

He Sees Aridity Nearer:
General Warning Issued

Eor the first time since he took of

York State Prohibition Department. is-
sued statement yesterday covering
all Of his work since its inception The
statement is voluminous, and interest
ing data from the directors stand
point. as interspersed with arguments
for rigid enforcement and prohibition
propaganda. He insists the law
eventually will be enforced
"Our field forces have been rein
forced and the national prohibition law
will be enforced without fear or favor"
I begins the statement, and after some
! discussion of the law it insists the
prohibition forces are in battle array
1t Is then cited that the present pro-
hibitlon administration has reduced
Withdrawals of liquor in bond from
100000 gallons month 20 10000
gallons month. The smuggling sit
uation is covered with the assertion
that smuggling is growing more diff
hCrlt each day, and that the liquor
supply is being cut off gradually.

paragraph treats of drug store
liquor and alcohol sales, and recites
that the National Association of Retail
Druggists, with membership of 10000,
has pledged itself to support the law.
paragraph addressed to landlords
reads: -.
The owners of real property and
landlords who have tenant violators
must watch out or they will find their
properties locked and sealed by the
government. We expect to be able to
get final injunctons and perhaps put
padlocks upon large number of build
ings and places where there has been
continuous violation"
Lack of sufficient Federal judges to
try liquor cases is admitted to have
hampered enforcement. Mr.. Day tells
of promised cooperation by United
States District Attorney Colonel Will
liam Hayward and Police Commissioner
Richard E. Enright. The statement
holds that permitting sale of light
wines and beer would mean break
ing down of the whole prohibition fab
ric, and closes with an appeal for OBJ
servation of the law, claiming that
more than so per cent of all voters are
in favor of prohibition.
