NUD|ST CULT

BERLIN, Aug. 13 G.N.SO.-The
cult of nudism in Germany was
doomed to extinction in Prussia
today, with indications that the
governments war on nakedness
eventually would be carried
throughout the country.
The blow was dealt by Franz
Bracht, federal commissioner for
Prussia, who, in an unexpected
order, abolished all nudist col
onies.
Two hundred thousand mem
bers of "Nacktkultur" societies
henceforth will be compelled to
wear bathing suits in their gam
bols.
Magazines published by the
societies, with a circulation of
more than 100000 a month,
must eliminate all nude photo
graphs. Participation of German
girls in international beauty con-
tests is prohibited. The order
even forbids chorus girls to
prance in bathing suits or
lingerie, and billboard advertise
ments showing women in scanty
attire are prohibited.

13.-William Graves, a member
of counsel for Libby Holman Rey-

than a week ago for the murder
of her husband, Smith Reynolds,
said today he had received an
anonymous letter from Charles
ton, S. c., saying the writer had
seen the tobacco heir commit
suicide on the morning of July 6.
The writer of the letter signed
it merely "An Eye Witness" and
claimed to have seen Reynolds
place revolver to his head three
times before pulling the trigger
and inflicting a fatal wound.
The letter said that Mrs. Rey-
nolds was "too drunk to know
what was going on"
Mr.. Graves said he would like
to communicate with the writer,
but did not know how this was
possible, because there was no
signature on the communication.
He said the handwriting was ap-
parently that of woman.
Mrs. Reynolds was preparing
to forSake musical comedy in

Czechoslovak tragedy when
her husband was shot. She was

CROSS BELGIUM,
ALLIED PLAN

PARIS. Aug. 13 G.N.SD Two
years before the World War broke
out the Allied powers discussed
the advisability of violating Bel
gian neutrality in the event of
threatened hostilities with Ger
many, says the late Marshal Jo-
seph Joffre of the French army
in his memoirs, now being pre-
pared for publication.
Over a period of almost II
months i'll 1911-1912, Marshal Jof-
fre reveals, the French and Brit
ish high command discussed the
question of Belgian neutrality in
detail.
Three alternatives were dis
cussed, Marshal Joffre declares.
One was for the Allies to break
Belgian neutrality before Ger
many had a chance to do so. An.
other was to cross the frontier
simultaneously with the German
armies. The third was to permit
Germany to bear the sole blame
of violating neutrality.
The British general, Wilson, he
said, argued that it would be nee
essary to let Germany violate Bel
gums neutrality first to give
Great Britain an excuse for en-
tering the war. This policy was
agreed to, Joffre said.

There was a general sentiment
on Capitol Hill that the Pre5l.

reform would lead to submission
of a new amendment next fall.
The Presidents demand for a
Federal ban on saloons undoubt-

There will be stiff opposition to
placing in the Constitution any
phrase outlawing the saloon.

A large group of Constitution

the inclusion in that document
of any legislative bans. They
will argue that regulation of the
