America's representatives
abroad will be provided with
$4,000 for entertainment ex-

just begun, but they can't spend
any of it on liquor. %
This was the sense Of an ex.

to be made public by the State
Department today. ~
The myriad social functions
this country's diplomats and. con.

1881 State Department apprOpria-
tion bill furnishing money for
these marks the first time the
Government has adopted such a
policy.
Most Legations Dry
Nearly every other country
provides its representatives in
other lands a similar fund. The
$4,000 item was made available
for the fiscal year 1881, which
began July l.
withholding of funds for the
purchase of alcoholic beverages
is. ais far as this country goes in
imposing the dry laws on its
diplomats. Whether they are
wet or dry is a question left to
the discretion of the personnel,
and. generally speaking, the lega-
tio9lS and consulateS conform to
the custom of the land in which
they are located in the matter of
alcoholic liquor.
Under the Executive order the
money is to be used for necessary
expenses of dinners, luncheons, re-
ceptions and the like. as well as
for purchasing flowers for we'd
0ingS, births and deaths.
Whether any items not Specif-
ically mentioned in the Executive
order are to be included as coming
under necessary expenses will be
left to the discretion Of the Secre-
tary of State. The plan, it was
understood, was to provide a fund
for general, necessary use, with
the users given a wide discretion.
100 Stations ts Benefit
Such fund was authorized Jun.
der a law passed by Congress in
1924, but the appropriation was
not made until the State Depart
ment appropriations bill for the
present year was enacted.
Approximately hundred Amer
lean embassies, legations and con-
sulates will divide the fund. While
no ALLEGATION has as yet been
formulated, it was understood
that the larger foreign stations,
such as those at London, Paris
and Berlin, would get the larger
amounts.
ALI of these stations are con-
stantly called on for semi-social
expenses, it was said, and in the
past has been serious considera-
ton in the plans of diplomats.

TOLERATE
 GERMAN LANGUAGE
Solve Difficulty in Manner Un-
 usual to Europe

Prague, Aug. 1 (UP)-Much as most Czech patriots desired 1t in the ! days following the collapse of the Austro- Hungarian Empire and the erection of the Czechoslovakian Re- public, the elimination of the Ger man language from within the boun- daries Of the new country has proven virtually impracticable. Hence the German tongue. forced upon the Czech population under the old Em- pire. has been retained to a consid- erable extent and thus its continued use has solved what might otherwise have been a serious minority lan- guage problemE
 Among other nationalities there is likewise disposition toward per hitting the use of the German mother tongue. although, of course, 1 the more nationalistically- y-inclined Czechs are constantly pressing for universal adoption of their language as the sole language of the country. IL is taught in the public schools 1 and it's the official state language, but in Slovakia the official language is Slovakian.
 | German. however, Is really the second language of the country. This | has been due to number of fac tors. First of all, most of the mem | hers of the present generation were required to learn German in the schools in the days of the Empire
 and many of these know German better than they do their own Czech. Secondly. German is the language of two of the principal neighboring states and when citizens of these countries come into Czechoslovakia they naturally would rather speak German. Thirdly, while almost, all | foreigners who visit CZechoslovakia talk French, English, Italian or German. they find that the trades people, taxi drivers and others know only one foreign language-German and thus that tongue has come to i be the only one used in intercourse with tourists and commercial visi- | tors.
 Practice therefore has restored
 much of the old responsibility of the German tongue notwithstanding that
 only few years ago a bitter cam
 paign was being carried on against its usage. Political eMgencies also have helped to bring German back into favor, the principal factor here l having been the necessity of obtain ing the active co%eration of the i German minority in forming the last
 two cabinets. Even government of- | icials. though they would prefer French or English, have for practical reasons adopted German IS thelr principal foreign language.
 Tourists speaking English or Ger
 man are served in their own tongues in the larger hotels, restaurants and
 stores of the bigger cities and on the
 international trains, but in the
 smaller stores or smaller towns they either must know German or Czech
 or engage an interpreter.
