ORDERED
To REDUCE PROH|
FORCE IN GEORGIA

Federal Prohibition Director Fred
Dismuke received orders Wednes-
day from Prohibition Commissioner
R. A. Haynes, at Washington, to
cut his forces in Georgia.
Five field men and the assistant
director will be dropped.
Lack of appropriations is respon-
sible for the order Commissioner
Haynes explained in the letter to Di-
rector Dismuke.
1.-THE curtailment is a great blow
to my department." said Director Dis
nuke. II should really use twice as
many men as now have, and really
need them because of the many
counties in which the state officers
do not operate effectively in enforc-
ing prohibition.
The curtailment is effective July
1. Under the new order the Georgia
force will consist of the director, the
legal advisor, and twenty-five field
men besides the clerks.
Director Dismuke said that in re-
distributing his force he would be
compelled to give each field man four
territories.

to prevent the Bulgarian revolt
Mobilization of thousands of fresh
troops and extension of civil war,
reported from Sofia, caused alarm
in Belgrade, Bucharest, Athens and
Prague
In Budapest, the Hungarian CAPT
tai, on the other hand, it was re-
ported that news of the trouble in
Bulgaria had been greeted with re-
joicing, and that secret mobilization
of three classes had taken place.
Greece today instituted wartime
measures to reinforce the Greek-Bul-
garian frontier.
Jugo- Slavia called up a thousand
reserve officers and hurried add.
tional troops to the border with am
munition and supplies.
Szecho-Slovakia, farther removed
from the storm center, watched with
anxiety for possible military action.
Hungary is reported secretly to
have called up the classes of 1900,
1901 and 1902.
A report this afternoon was to the
effect that the youthful King Boris
and ex-King Ferdinand were the
the main instigators of the revolu-
ton that deposed Stamboulisky. The
latter's alti-royalist tendencies were
feared by the Bulgarian monarchs
to conceal intentions to effect con-
federation of Bulgaria and Serbia.

BULGARIAN MOBILIZATION
ALARMS HER NEIGHBORS
LONDON, June 13.-The Serbian
ministers in the entente capitals
have called the attention Of the gov
eminent to information received in
Belgrade to the effect that the new
Bulgarian government was mobiliz-
ing forces in excess of the stipula-
tons of the treaty of Neuilly, the dip
lomatic correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says.
The correspondent adds that if Bull
garia does not cease mobilizinG soon,
a warning-possibly joint one from
Serbia, Rumania and Greece-wil be
sent to Sofia from Belgrade. The lit
tie entente countries fear lest the
new regime in Sofia when it has
overcome the menace of the peasant
resistance, will avail itself of it's in
creased military power to challenge
the existing treaties.
Serbia, the writer asserts, is send
ing strong reinforcementS to the Bull
garian-M Macedonian frontier, where it
already has several divisions.
A Sofia dispatch to the Daily Ex-
press says the new government has
made sensational charges against
Stamboulisky and his colleagues, al
leging that boards of wealth have
been found in their houses, in addi-
ton to evidence that the deposed
ministers lived luxuriously although
it was supposed they were in modest
circumstances.

NO AUTHORITY TO
Interfere WITH
PRIVATE LIQUOR

Washington, July 11-confronted
with q new problem in the ship
liquor tangle by reports Of the APP
pearance Of intoxicants in the dining
saloons Of government-owned ves-
sells, the Shipping Board has decided
that 1t is without authority to inter-
fere with the consumption Of private
liquor stocks by passengers aboard
such vessels. The board will prob
ably ask a definite ruling from the
Department of Justice.
The question involved is whether
the police powers of the ships Off
GERS would warrant their interfer-
ence with liquor drinking by passen-
gers.
An entirely new feature of the pro-
hibition question has reached the SUI
preme court from California. It in
volved the problem of whether states
can prohibit druggists from filling
physicians prescriptions which call
for the quantity of medicinal liquor
allowed by federal law.
The courts of California have sus-
tanned an ordinance of Los Angeles,
limiting the quantity which druggists
may dispense upon any prescription
TO eight ounces This is half the
amount which the federal govern
ment had made the maximum.
Merlin w. Hixon, a druggist Of
Los Angeles, has asked the supreme
court to review his conviction for
violating the ordinance.
