BERLIN ASSUMING
 OLD POSITION AS CONSULAR CENTER

Berlin, July 25-Berlin is rapidly resuming it's pre-war position diplomatic and consular center and there are today 91 such posts here, representing 5S countries as compared with the handful of neutral and Gen. tral European representatives which
 remained during the war. The pres ent diplomatic personnel numbers some 20O0 to which the United States,
 Russia, and Afghanistan are the most
 recent contributors.
 The legation of Siam is the only
 pre-war post which has voluntarily not been re-established. Peace was concluded with that country at the signing of the Versailles treaty, but separate agreement still IS pending.
 remained during the war, was dropped in accordance with the demands Of
 the Entente and that country's inter ests here are now being handled by the Swiss Confederation.
 The outcome of the war is further reflected in the changed representa- tion of that territory which formerly comprised Austro-Hungary. While it formerly came entirely under one em- bassy, since May l. 1919, there has
 been a legation each for German Austria, Hungary, and CzechoSloVa- kia.
 Altogether Germany now finds her self, after the elapse of three years since the signing of the Versailles treaty, with virtually all of her for mer relations resumed and a number 1 of new ones undertaken. The total l representation includes six ernsbas- sies, 29 legations. one nunciatory, five charges des affaires, and two diplo- | matic posts with heads who hold no definite rank. There are 32 inde- | pendent consulates and consular rep | resentatives ill eight legations, besides representative of eight powers whose | official designation has not yet been i establiSh Shed. A few of tha smaller | powers merely have consuls at Ham burg.
 During the war there were only | three embassies in Berlin those of
 Austro- Hungary, Spain and Turkey, 1 besides 0 legations, all of which had | consulates corresponding. There were
 also the papa1 representative, com
 mercial offices of LuXemburg and San 1 Domingo, and the conSulate-generalo of 1 Paraguay.
 1 Great Britain resumed diplomatic | relations with Germany January 13, E1920 and most of the othsr powers
 followed in quick succession.

Zionists Of Bridgeport
 Will Celebrate Mandate

Great joy prevails among the Jews pf Bridgeport, as elsewhere over the ratification of the Palestine Mandate by the Council of the League of Ma lions.
 Although not a member of the Lea gue of Nations, America signified its approval of the Mandate by a reso- ution which passed unanimously both houses of congress. America thus played as a great factor so that the Jewish National Homeland is now firmly inbedded in the status of in ternational law.
 The Mandate recognizes the World Zionist organization as the Jewish agency which is to collaborate with the British government in the de- velopment of the country.
 Already the Zionist organization of Bridgeport is making preparations to enroll every Jew of the city as a member of the organization, that all may share in the rebuilding of the Holy Land.
 One hundred million dollars is ex- pected to be raised in the next ten years. Colonization on a. large scale Is to begin at once-
 Thousands of refuges from the dev- astated parts of Europe are waiting

France Surprised
 at Prohibition in
 U. S., Says Expert

Paris, July 25-t"The accusations of
 American vets that prohibition is
 responsible for the increase of the
 drug habit in America is extremely
 exaggerated, if not totally unfounded,''
 is the decision of M. Ernest Guy, for
 mer attache of the French High
 war, who has completed an investiga-
 tton of prohibition in the United
 States in the interest of the wine ex.
 porters of France. ''The increase of
 world, and that includes the non
 prohibition countries. It has SGs
 creased in the same proportions IA England and France. It is a part of
 German plan to flood the world
 with the drugs they manufacturer
 M Guy, who is frankly interested
 in seeking a solution to the stagna-
 ton of the French wine industry and
 trying to find a means for opening
 up the vineyards former markets,
 struck another blow at the tradition
 declared that his Investigation con vinced him that the crime wave sweeping over American cities has no connection with the liquor queston- l in Europe also, he declares, and is one of the expectabIe after effects of l the war.
 | Experiences of Foreigner. ]The first effects a foreigner ex- l periences upon arriving in America
 is a feeling of admiration for the 1 great courage of America in attempt ing the great social experiment Of prohibition But I can't say was l converted to prohibition by what I l saw. To the average American tf difference between America todi~ and pre-prohibition days is probably not so striking as it is to foreigner, for the change has been more or less gradual. But for a foreigner, customed to the thought of Iaw-abid- l ing America, to find the average ciI- zen who is of the stable cIasS-that is, 1 the bulwark Of the naton-to find 1 him, as I say, in the new attitude of | trying to beat the law, % break the l law, is quite disappointing to our ideals of America.
 Prohibition Justified
 sThe abolition of the saloon, how ever, if nothing else, alone quite jus l tifies prohibition. If x who believe in light wines and beers. were given the choice of accepting either total 1 prohibition or of returning to the old system, I would unhesitatfngly choose total prohibition But for tuaately this isn't necessary. The i difficulty is that a decision must be | made"
 M Guys report to the wine inter ests draws a picture of the growing habit of home brewing and the effects of hooch. He quotes a surgeon of Bellevue Hospital, New York, an ar dent prohibitionist for years, telling how workmen daily die in his hos pitaI ''in ,convuIsions like <dogs.'' One of the difficulties that he fore sees is that if light wines are again reinstated, as he predics that they will be. the definition of t1ght' wines will still bar French products.

MYSTERIOUS FATALITY: COMPANIONS DISAPPEAR
Harry w. Knight Found Dead In Lake Wi t IL Wound On Head After Boat Overturned And Other Occupant W as Saved.

Bristol, July 25.-A fatality sur rounded by several queer and mex plicable incidents, resulting in tns death of Harry w. Knight, 35, and the narrow escape of William Hanson who has since disappeared, occurred shortly after o'clock this afternoon at Cedar swamp lake when a rowboat Tn which they were overturned. Hanson was saved by Thomas Par king an onlooker, who dragged him to shore by the hair. The two men were on their way to visit Charles J. Nelson, who is employed at Claytons shop, and immediately after the acci- dent Hanson and Nelson disappeared. Late last night nothing had been seen
 When Knights body was later recov- cred by H. H. Judd and Celos Carlson it was found that there was a deep be found on the boat to indicate that
 his head had hit the boat when it capsized, and there are no rocks on the bottom at the point of the acci- dont-
 Boat is Split.
 The side of the boat, however. which is at least two and one-half inches thick, was found to be split dtagonally for a distance of almost fifteen inches. In the opinion of James Peckham, from whom the two men hired the boat, such a split could only be produced by an extreme lS I0dNy plOW. " nens the boat was recovered, the right oarlock, which Is made of metal, was missing. and it was attached to the boat by a chain.
 Police Don't Respond. The police were notified of the ac- cident and of the peculiar circum- stances by three different people but no officer appeared. After it was l taken from the water, Knights body was placed on Perch Rock where 1t lay for\.>ver an hour in the pouring rain. Dr. A. S. Bracket, medical examiner, viewed the body and said that it appeared death was due to ] drowning, but he will not make his | findings known until tomorrow after he has made a further investigation of the unusual features.
 Little is known about the two men. 1 They ca me to the lake. Saturday, | and hired the boat which they used ! again today People who saw the | men together say they were on the | best Of terms. Their host, Nelson, | waS not in the boat.

DEATH OF. BOY CAUSES DRIVE
 ON SNAKES
6pring Lake Residents in Jersey Hunt Rep tiles to Prevent An other Tragedy.

Spring Lake, N. J., July 25-Snake huntingf parties have been formed Sere in efforts to rid this district of poisonous reptiles which are believed to have infested the neighborhood in increasing numbers during the Sum me-.
 ganized following the death of eight iyear-o1d Franklin Manix Clifford. Jr., twEo succumbed after suffering ex- fcruciating agony for the better part tCf @ week.
 In the opinion of the doctors he Twas bitten by a rattlesnake- IA cop iperhead is within the possibilities.
 The boys right leg, where the bite was indicated, swelIed up to the size Of thet trunk of a tree. Pus gath cred about the knee and the boy suf- .fered frightfully.
 For the latter part of his stay in the hospital he was delirious, recov- ering consciousness occasionally and then only for few moments;
 Raves About 'Black Snake"
 He raved constantly about "the black snake with the white throat and begged the doctors and nurses to help him kill it.
 In one of the lads rational mo- .neqts Dr. Clarence Morris. of the hospital staff, said to him:
 'tFranl>lin, you will be all right"
 q know I will.''
 You have got to fight hard"
 "I am fghting.
 But some time after this conversa- tlCn the boys reSplrat1On jumped to 16S from 80 normal, and he had a fever of 1OS. At l o'clock in the morning his pulse seemed to have stopped, yet the child continued to live for two hours. This the doc tors said, was extraordinary
 Bitten Near Home.
 The lad was not merely the favor ite of a family of five brothers, three of whom are older and one younger than he, but was well liked through out the village.
 He was bitten in & field near his [ home. His mother had started to take the COW into the field, Franklin took the rope from her, saying Mother, let me do that. It's no work for a woman" . He took the cow and started to lead it to pasture. He had pro- , ceeded on1 va few steps in the grass when Mrs. Clifford noticed that he ! stopped and began striking at some { thing in the grass. He ran, picked up an axe and pursued some object I his mother could not see. Then he | returned nnping. His mother ask < ed what was the matter and he re- ! piled:
 T think I dropped the axe on my fkooe"
 } Whether he did not realize he had EAeen bitten by the snake, or was try sang to deceive his mother and spare elAer a fright, no one knows. Dr, SClarence Morris was summoned later kAnd even he did not suspect at first Kit was a. snake bite
