The reflections upon the embassies
made by representatives who are
jealous in the enforcement of liquor
laws are most unfortunate in their
generaIizations. 1t certainly has
never been intimated that the respon- .
sible heads of any of the legations

and immunity that any embassy
will be kept pretty busy chasing.
