 To this the "Rote Fahne" coun- ters:
 Apparently, Mime Litvinoff never heard that not all Berliners have time to read newspapers in cafes, nor is she well informed when she says that all Berliners notice and flirt with every passing woman. There are several hundreds of thousands of Berliners who wear no monocle, own no saddle horse and are not in the least swagger. They live in the proletarian quar- ters, work in factories and have only utter contempt for such ob- servers of city life as Mime. Litvin- off"

 Danish smugglers buy spirits n Holland at low prices and sell in Norway, Sweden. Finland and oth- CT countries where either govern ment monopoly or prohibition reigns supreme. The Danish authorities know the most fragrant offenders by name but are powerless to deal with them as long as they keep outside Danish territorial waters.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-ProbabI the last scenes in a drama of un precedented proportions in Amer can history will be staged in the trial of Albert B. Fall, on th' charge of accepting bribe while Secretary of Interior
 Aged and i'll, the man who al the height of his strength and power seven years ago leased valu- able oil reserves in Wyoming and California to the separate Sinclair and Doheny corporations, is sched- uled to come here October to defend the acts that have resulted in numerous criminal and civi' suits.
 Specifically, he is to deny that the $100,000 brought to him "in a little black satchel' by the son of Edward L. Doheny, bribed him to lease the Elk Hills, Cal, oil re- serves to his "old friend and fellow prospector,"
 If Fall is found guilty it will be the first conviction in five long years of prosecution in the oil scandal cases. Harry F. Sinclair went to jail, but his concurrent six months sentences were for contempt of the Senate in refusing to answer questions and for jury shadowing All of the trials for conspiracy and fraud have resulted in either acquit- tai or mistrial.
 Through civil suits all property involved has been returned to the government. In addition, it has pos

 Pantages
WITHSTANDS HARD
 DISCRIMINATION
Brea ks Down and Sobs During Recital of
 Story-Recovers

LOS ANGELES, Cal, oct. 5.--A rigorous cross examination failed to shake materially the testimony of 17-year-old Eunice Pringle, who was in the witness chair the entire day yesterday in the trial of Alexander Pantages, theatrical magnate, whom she accuses of statutory offense against her in his office, on August 9.
 Miss Pringle. reiterated in detail the accusation against the theatri- cal man and returned emphatic re- buffs to the defense attorney to break down her testimony.
 The incessant fire of questions by the defense attorney was not complete when adjournment was ordered until Monday when the girl broke in unrestrained sobbing during the persistent grilling. She refused a recess and recovered her composure and went on.
 Pantages Reddens
 Pantages reddened under the de- liberate acusation of the girl. He watched closely when damaging ad- missions were made by the girl ai-d scrutinized the effect ,laon the juEy of cross examination results.
 Miss Pringle denied the defense assertions that Pantages refused ta engage her in a vaudeville dance act and said:
 "He said certainly he would book my act" in the little stairway cub byhole."
 Tried To Hold Hand
 Miss Pringle said further: When he tried to hold my hand I told him that the hand had nothing to do with business. When he em- braced me I pleaded with him to be a gentleman and let me leave"
 Her attempts at escaping from Pantages, the girl said, by screams, were stopped by his hand over her mouth. She said she kicked him with all of her ability and strug- gled continuously until she tainted. She explained in detail the alleged attack.
 Miss Pringle said that her pre- vious visits to zee Pantages about her act was always in the main office and his secretary was gener : ally around.

Washington, D. C. Policemen Are
 Scored by BIease

WASHINGTON, Oct. B. Senator 0. L. Blease, of South Carolina, thinks the Washington police concern themselves too much about liquor and betting.
 "If there is one type Of policeman I hate, it's the type armed with a flash light, who sneaks up on some boy and girl making love.
 You can't stop a thing like that and it is foolish to try, yet some police do 1t to fatten their record, al- though the only thing they do is to drag the name Of some girl through the mud.
 Whats the sense of ar- resting a man because he has got a few toddies aboard if he is minding his own business and is on his way home? He ought to be left alone if he is doing nothing"
